Special - Boats n all that

Toot toot! Roll out the spinnaker and swab the decks becasue it's a cheeky special episode of the Tiny Plastic People podcast! This time we yell our orders, print our rules and hunt the bug blue for the boat special! Drew has been playing boat games again, and has decided that his one quest is to somehow convert James, our resident boat hater (due to a long held canal boat themed grudge) to their watery charms.

We discuss the still available Mad for War by League of Augsburg and the hard to find Damn Battleships Again by Phil Barker. Get your resin printers ready and prepare to adjust your scales to nautical miles!

    01:33:01|
    Ahh here we are on the dawn of a new edition of a new Games Workshop game! Are you ready for the hottest takes? Well, you've come to the wrong place becasue we are dropping chats all about FOMO! We are dropping chats about our perfect games that can be summed up in three words! We are talking about video game influences on table top games! But most importantly, the lovely folk that populate the Tiny Plastic People podcast are here to just have a nice time. So stuff on those headphones, clear your diary of important things like 'work' and turn the big dial that says 'I'm having a lovely time', looking back towards the fine hosts, Drew, Rachel and Tom ND for approval.

  • Episode 30: Pete Postlethwaite's 40k Face

    01:10:13|
    Oh? Did you miss us? We missed us too, so much so we have come to blast you back in time to the heady days of March, when we recorded this straight up ripper of an episode. That's right, no prisoners, only the hottest of takes from the hottest of friends. We've got speedy Pete, he's painted some models while podding. We've got Tom, and we've located him GPS to bring you tales of Chinese game stores. Finally new kid on the block Jamie drop pods in like a Helldiver of old to talk all about the glory that is all about getting your hobby pumping. Yup, it's the Tiny Plastic People Show and we are here to say: "Get those models painted ya coward!" while we wax lyrical about which acotrs we think have 'bit of a face', when to squeeze hobby in when you've got life to be getting on with and how we sail the hobby tides.As always you can find us at TinyPlasticPeople.com... we have games there, we have a Discord called Roll Models there and you can get in touch with us to tell us things we need to know. So, enjoy responsibly!
  • Episode 29: Everything Will Be Great From Now On

    01:46:42|
    Read this bit first: Sorry for the delay on this one, and also the audio is less than stellar, however we are not ones to throw away good and nice conversation. So from the bottom of the audio bottle, we apologise! A number of issues on the editing end led to less that joyful ear sounds and we did our best to recover them. This said, we've heard from the future and we will endevour to not let this stop us in the future.All that aside, join James, Rachel and Alistair for a nice discussion around all thing tiny and plastic, and those things inbetween that also get us thinking about the nice world of hobby we live in. We get some impressions of the tiny new Legions Imperialis, hobby mental health and much more, so, audio gremlins aside, please enjoy another tiny plastic feast (please do not eat plastic other than the micro plastics in all our food, there is nothing we can do about that.)

    Oh boy everyone! We have returned from the festive break with... an episode recorded long before the festive break! I wonder if you can guess when our three intrepid podcasters were gathering their takes? Answers on a postcard to the Live and Kicking crew. Anyway, yes, join Tom G, Roujin and JD as they discover the hobby of later 2023 in this unearthed recording that certainly keeps the takes a flowing. So, if you are ready, settle in, pour a nice strong cup of paint water and enjoy the natter.

  • AOS28 Episode 5: Edging Around Tangents (Q&A)

    53:13|
    We've gone and done a doucmentary of sorts! We ran a narrative event! And we recorded some chats as we did it! In this, the final part of the series, we answer questions from the players and the community about the event! A little victory lap of sorts, but also a bit like that 3rd place meme where the guy bites the medal, slams the fizzy wine and snogs the lady. You know the one. If this has got your interest (in the game, not the meme), well, you can head on over to Tinyplasticpeople.com where we've published everything as a big book (digitally) so you can take our rules, settings, ideas on to anything else. At the very least it is a fun, bespoke skirmish game that is minis and setting agnostic.

If this has got your interest, well, you can head on over to Tinyplasticpeople.com where we've published everything as a big book (digitally) so you can take our rules, settings, ideas on to anything else.
