Welcome to the Blog!

 I'm Colin Mr. Coolguy

And I love history, wargames, and historical wargaming. Also boardgames. And RPGs. I love a lot of stuff, it's what makes me so handsome. If you're here, it's because you found my blog! Possibly it's because you're my mother, possibly it's because you got lost searching for erotica, and possibly you followed some Twitter shitpost here.

I'm not here to judge, I'm here to inform and entertain. Occasionally arouse.

What can you expect? At the moment I've got a couple of projects I'm working on. In no particular order:

• Occasional boardgaming with attendant (not entirely sober) blow-by-blow accounts.
• You want examples? I got examples:
• Livetweeting GMT's "Here I Stand"
  
• Livetweeting GMT's "Sword of Rome"
  
• Livetweeting Ares Games' "War of the Ring"
  
• Game design: You can find some of my "finished" work at The Phantom Rollbooth. Additionally, I'm working on...
• Schwerpunkt - A rules-lite wargame for the Thirty Years War
• Swounds! - A reskin of Shawn Tompkin's Ironsworn, for a pseudo-Renaissance aesthetic
• Consuls & Strategos - A wargame campaign system for the Roman invasions of Greece
• Miniature painting: I collect Age of Sail naval miniatures, Italian Wars 10mm, a variety of 28mm fantasy, and additionally make a lot of my own paper tokens.
• Battle reports: And how! Up until now a lot of my stuff has gone on Twitter, but this blog is partly to create a better archive of these battle reports.
• For example, The Continuing Adventures of Captain Finlay Stuart

Don't expect this to be a consistent space, nor one filled with homogenous content. Think of me as the wargaming equivalent of a rich lesbian aunt who sweeps in unexpectedly, rich with experience and unanticipated gifts, only to disappear for an unspecified length of time.

If you have a thirsty desire to get in contact with me, feel free to leave a comment on any post. If I don't like you, I'll ignore you. If you're racist or generally a shitbag, I'll delete you. If I love you, I still might ignore you but by accident.

Otherwise, you can contact me out by email (thephantomrollbooth@gmail.com), Twitter (@ColinItLikeISee), or Discord (pliantreality#3911).
