On Getting a Really Kick Ass Job

Unless there's no tea. Don't work anywhere where there's no tea. That would be silly.

So I’ve been fairly quiet of late. Missives on Shaltari awesome and loving flame weapons* aside, I’m usually fairly tight lipped, mostly because my previous job involved long hours and little time to write, but also because the other gents are a) more interesting to listen to** and b) very often in closer proximity to each other*** because they all live in south-er South West London than I do, being in more westerly South West London.

However I’ve got a different reason for not writing for a while. I got a job! Not something to blog about here you may cry, but this isn’t just any job. My current job is…drumroll….working for Hawk Wargames! Yes indeed, I’ve managed to charm, wangle, con, cheat, lie and steal my way into working for the makers of Dropzone Commander itself*****. The I’ll be writing some of the expanded universe, play testing the rules and helping with games development and marketing and, well, basically tons of fun stuff tbh.

That said the un-fun aspect is that i won't be able to write for the blog as I have to be the company man now. That’s right, I’m selling out and selling out hard! I played Edchop such a hard game at invasion as odd man, I almost sunk the team again! Mwhahahahahahaha! 

Hmm. Maybe I shouldn’t type that out-loud. Was a fun game though. 

Anyhoo, being a stooge of such a great company seems like a huge win, though I will miss team OB and the curiously gimp-inducing ways and continue to read and listen to the podcast. Thanks for reading, and I look forward to meeting peeps at shows in the future.

* but they’re just…so…flamey. 

**yeah I know, but they said I had to say that otherwise they’d make me play nothing but 2 Hades and 2 Ferrum armies the rest of my life.
***not saying they walk around joined at the hip or anything odd like that****.
****although two of them do live together. And Zombie state has the gimp. So…yeah.

***** ok maybe not all of that. Like, 85% sure no charming was actually done.
