Hi all,
If you spend much time in the disqus comments of late you'll find my obnoxiously cheerful postings and grumpy gamer musings aplenty. I'm not "new" per-se but I thought I'd say hello to all and make a specific request.
Sydney based gamers, please get in touch :)
I'm moving out in 8 weeks with my delightful wife (who was brought up in Carlingford and wants to go home).
I will be new, gently cooking, and know no-one except the handful of my wife's Aussie friends who've been out to see us over the years. Someone needs to show me the correct way to appease a drop-bear and all the other initiation rites us Poms are expected to go through, I promise not to whinge. Plus it'd be nice to get a game or two.
I opine mostly on 40k, but play everything GW (mostly poorly, except 40k and WFB which I'm ok at). I have Dystopian wars, Heldorado and even some Hordes minis somewhere. Not to mention WH Historical High Seas, LO5R Clan War and a couple of other esoteric choices.
I'm also a keen 3.5 D&D head, and have a collection of lesser known pen and papers too. And I'd love to find an RP group, I do DM (and have been told I do so well).
Post here or drop me a PM, or in fact post here even if you're not and just want to stick your nose in / put pony images in this thread etc.

Hello and welcome aboard.

True, but as I have a constitutional objection to professional sports I am unlikely to have any majorly inflammatory comments to make. None the less, as you say, impressive.

Somebody likes Fluttershy. This is no issue, I'm a Pinkie Pie man myself.

Depends on the cupcakes...............
I actually do have a Pinkie Pie T-shirt, i wear it to family gatherings to troll my wife. Who treats my watching MLP with much the same exasperated disappointment as she does most of the things I do. :rolleyes:
So maybe I'm already on the darkside. Bought her a gummy the alligator t-shirt with no MLP logos or anything on it and she loves it. Haven't had the heart to tell her she's wearing MLP merchandise yet.................

Brilliant.
That's the reaction the SO gives me when I go out in my fluttershy t-shirt...

Yeah Wolfie, this one will do.

So, do you think I've successfully put every gamer in Sydney off already?

Possibly...

Both of them...
