Christmas Madness 2012: The Revenge of Bad Santa

It is that time of year again...dare you embrace...Christmas Madness?!?

As always thanks to Rob for the pictures, and for the markers; each year Rob adds some more pieces to the mix for these special games, and this year it was more of the tokens as well as the tree. What will it be next year (look to the Battle Report for possible clues)...?

Thanks to Melvin for the Santa and Bad Santa cards - very cool indeed!

Merry Christmas!

Welcome

Another 'welcome' to the the blog post, this one going out to Luis Alberto Cayo who has signed up here (and notably for my gaming buddy Rob's Four Colour Super Minis - here).

It does help motivate me to see people sign up so as I ever I do really appreciate it, so thanks Luis Alberto Cayo, and thanks to any and every one else who has done so.

On the Pulp City front? Well, I am working re-basing three miniatures. Two of the three bases have been painted, and the third is being painted. They are for big guy types. I wonder why that would be...?

Paint The City Pink Reminder

Just a reminder that the auctions from Tales Of A Tabletop Skirmisher's Paint The City Pink fundraising initiative are soon drawing to a close; have a look in please, maybe make some bids - it is all in aid of very good causes.

Hendybadger has put in tons of great work for this, and many, many manufacturers and retailers have supported the drive, so please take a look.

Follow this link to get there if you missed the links above.

Welcome

This latest 'welcome to the Pulp Citizen' missive is a shout out (there I am down with 'the kids' once again...) to Grigork.

Thanks for signing up Grigork.Grigork has his (presumably!) own blog: The Megalomaniac (Mwhaha) (click for link). Now looking down the labels list it looks to cover a lot genres which means one thing: eclticism, that barometr of strong interest from me! So I will be watching The Megalomaniac (Mwhaha)  to see nwhat future posting holds.

So thank you again Grigork - hopefully you will find visiting the Pulp Citizen to be a worthwhile endeavour.

On Pulp City news, we should be on course for Open Beta of the SE rules version in January which is the target we set some time ago. And it also looks like new releases are getting ever closer  with that long-wanted regular release schedule as part of the plan.

Coming Soon - Christmas Madness 2012

Keep your eyes peeled here or on Four Colour Super Minis on Christmas Eve for the annual Christmas Madness Battle Report.

Santa and Bad Santa are back, and more powerful than ever, with SE revamps - but which side will be victorious? Will good cheer last throughout the year to follow, or will things take a turn for the worse...?

Leibster Blog Awards

Crikey, missed that! Black Smoke, of The Colour Of War blog (click for link) has kindly awarded me a Leibster award, handed on to blogs that other bloggers, also recipients, find entertaining and useful. So thanks again to Black Smoke, and sorry it took me 8 days to see this!

 The rules:
- Copy and paste the award on your blog, linking it to the blogger who has given it to you.
- Pass the award to your top five favourite blogs with fewer than 200 followers by leaving a comment on one of their blog posts to notify them that they have won the award and list them on your own blog.
- Sit back and bask in that warm fuzzy feeling that comes with knowing that you have just made someone's day.
- There is no obligation to pass this onto anyone else but it is nice if you do. 

With having the fewer than 200 limit, there are a few blogs excluded that I would have included, but then again my list could easily have amounted to 10, 15, 20 or more. My nominations are:-

Four Colour Super Minis - without this blog, by best buddy and main gaming foe Rob, I would not be blogging myself. An eclectic blog covering many, many genres, there is always something worth reading as Rob navigates the copious genres that take his fancy.

Gog Online - an eclectic collective blog; Gog Online tends to post in fits and starts, but I always enjoy seeing what latest shiny has attracted the attention of the Gog guys.

Pulp Planet - another wide-ranging blog, by friend Doctor Warlock; DW offers his thoughts on a manner of minis ranges and related media and worth checking it.

Cut Into The Earth - I am a Pulp City fan of course, so Cut Into The Earth's amazing Pulp City terrain is a natural pull - check it out, please.

The Boneyard - Undead Jon's sporadically updated blog, I always check it out when there is something new. As with most of my nominees this blog covers a variety of games and genres  and added to that is Jon's excellent painting - a winning combo to be sure; now if only we could get Jon painting more!

Shameless Plug Time

Anima Tactician

I have plugged them before, and I am going to do so again!

Yes I have a couple of other blogs I would like to draw readers attention to. So please click on the links and see if there is something of interest.

Anima Tactician (click for link)
My blog dedicated to Anima Tactics and related games; I have very recently finished painting my first mini for the line so please take some time to check in. next year should see more minis and hopefully at least one or two Battle Reports.

Eclectic Gentleman Tabletop Gamer (click for link)
My other skirmish/wargaming hobby blog. If it is not Pulp City, and it is not Anima Tactics, and it is not not closely related to one or the other, it is probably on this blog if I am posting about it.

Eclectic Gentleman Tabletop Gamer 

The EGTG covers zombies; non-Pulp City supers minis; Victoriana; pulp; sci-fi; old west; and more to come.

It has posts on terrain, the odd hobby tip and lost of part-done projects. Eclectic is its name and I hope it lives up to that appellation.
