Fat Nicholas emerges from behind his window to contemplate on how he has personally drawn inspiration from the Lardy community.

With just five days to go, Big Rich will undoubtedly be loitering near the eggnog, so now seems a good time to ask him about Fervour and how he has used it in his game design 

En garde!  With his rapier swirling above his head, Sidney introduces us to the inspiration he has gained from studying 17th century schools of fencing.  

With just a week until Christmas, Nick talks about the concept of 'Big Men' and Leadership within Lardy rules.

With twenty years of game designing experience behind him, the big fella reveals all, telling us which is his favourite game mechanism EVER!

Resplendent in his finery, Sidney arrives from Window 16 to wax lyrical on the politics of the French Court and how it has inspired him on so many levels.
