A visit to … Fantasy-Spiele Würzburg e.V.
Last year, Dino started to combine his business trips with visits to tabletop clubs. We covered our visits in Bedburg and Aachen, and now with me attending a summit in Würzburg, I did the same and got in touch with the local gaming club, Fantasy-Spiele Würzburg e.V.
Fantasy-Spiele Würzburg is not just a wargaming club, but they do board games, pen & paper and trading card games as well and quite a lot, as every week is quite busy and offers a lot for the about 180 (!) members of the club. But more on that below.
Where is Würzburg and what do I need to about this city? Würzburg is a German city in the region of Franconia in the northern part of Bavaria. It is roughly in the middle between Frankfurt and Nuremberg (about an hour from each city). As a Franconian city you may choose your poison from hearty dishes, various beers and wine, everything not that far from eachother in the city with a population of 120,000.
A visit to … Bedburger TableTop Freunde e.V.
The gate of the protected knight's estate in Bedburg is as an entrance to a tabletop club in no way an exaggeration of what actually waits behind it. I had the pleasure to visit the Bedburger TableTop Freunde club in August and I can say right away that it was an absolute feast, both from a hobby and a social point of view!
Knock out? Punch out!
I found an article about making the Infinity markers more durable and decided to give this a try. The technique can be used, for any kind of round markers, no matter if you use the infinity markers from the boxes or print them out yourself.
What do you need? These tools can be found around the scrap booking supplies. You need a punch tool, those are available in different sizes, i find the 25mm or roughly an inch sized ones quite handy. There are matching epoxy stickers, which can be found in different sizes and forms. I went with the matching 25mm round ones.
Low Level Piracy

Final spurt of may
Another weekend started and i want to share the new arrivals at the chaosbunker.
Cars, cars, cars
Yesterday i was browsing Toys'r'us, with a 28mm and a 15mm miniature in my hand, looking for something fitting the scale. Every now and then they have some usable models for small money, that a great as a gaming figurine or terrain accessoire.
Unfortunately in 1:100, let's say 15mm, there was nothing for me. But they had some bargains on 1:43 die cast kits and FastLane (private brand of toys'r'us) covers several scales from 1:12 up to roughly 1:87, but also some in 1:43, but you need to see it for your self to be sure.
Well, what did i bought? The picture shows the loot! 😉
