In this episode we are joined with Trey (IIII) and Martin (martin.mccoy.art) to talk about how Neil Hollis used AI to create the backdrop for his Gold winning Exodite at 2024 Golden Demon at Adepticon. We go on to talk more broadly about how AI could influence the miniature hobby going forward.

In this episode, we talk about miniature photography, touching on cellphone cameras to film cameras. We discuss the strengths and weaknesses of different cameras and give suggestions of elements to consider to improve your miniature photography.

In this episode, we interview people at Adepticon (2024), the United States largest miniature wargames convention! It was our first time at the convention, but we were able to set up our recording equipment in the Grimdark Hallway, run by our friends from Hive Scum.

In part two of a special two part episode, we interview people who attended Under the Dice Fest 2024, a small festival in Massachusetts celebrating miniature-based tabletop wargaming. The festival was designed to appeal to those who shy away from the mainstream iterations of the miniature wargaming hobby, focusing on those who want play the games on their own terms, sometimes outside of the scope of the game rules as written, or those who want to play old games which are no longer supported by their publishers. It is highlighting those who are more concerned with telling a story with the miniatures they build than with creating something that would be optimal in terms of a game’s rule system. A punk rock approach to the miniature wargaming hobby, if you will. Below are time stamps of where you can listen to each interview!
