Welcome

E-mail

Hello, you've arrived at the website of Iain Compton. This page isn't very interesting I'm afraid, most of the fun stuff happens on my blogs. Check out either Antipwn if you're interested in the video games industry and games design or Stormy Teacups if wargaming and miniature painting is more your thing.

 

If you want to see what's new then the latest posts from my two public blogs are syndicated down the left and right hand side of this page.  The pictures above are randomly chosen from my Flickr collection (reload the page for a new selection).If you want to ask a question, give feedback or just get in touch then you can leave a comment on either of my blogs or email me at iain at antipwn dot com

 

Thanks for dropping by.

Adventures in figuring out MMO design
  • Everyone’s a Critic
    Or at least I wish they were. Today’s rumblings are inspired by a post made by Gav Thorpe on his blog about criticism. He’s specifically talking about criticism of his work as a writer and how he reacts to that but a lot of what he says is applicable to other fields and especially the field [...]
  • Warhammer Goes F2P (Sorta)
    The latest WAR newsletter dropped into my gmail yesterday and I skimmed through it quickly as I usually do – I don’t play any more but I keep an eye on what’s going on. The stuff about the imminent patch and Halloween event was all pretty predictable but then I saw this: WAR Free Trial Very soon, [...]
  • Aion; Not The Great White Hope
    I’m going to start off with a couple of caveats. Firstly I’ve only got to level 20 and so I’ve not yet tasted PvP or any of the higher level content. Secondly this isn’t intended to be a review of Aion so much as a discussion of the design. I’m not going to tell you [...]

Iain will be found at the following places in the nearish future:

10th Oct
Fanatics Turnier in Konstanz

Adventures in painting toy soldiers
  • How to Write Rules
    One of the great things about this hobby is that it encourages creativity. Painting miniatures, writing background stories, imagining the battle as it rages and coming up with new and interesting variations to spice things up all conspire to exercise the grey stuff. I like to read new ideas for unit types, new scenarios or [...]
  • Valkyrie
    This is a project that was supposed to be a birthday present for a friend. Because I am rubbish (see the chronicle of my Fantasy Daemon army for more on this) I missed the birthday deadline by a hair over two months. A three week trip to the US didn’t help but there was still [...]
  • Wife aggro
    At some point over the past few days, the following thoughts popped into my head in po particular order: My wife is somewhat interested in Warhammer I have two painted Warhammer Fantasy armies I have one of the spiffy Citadel gaming tables that has been used precisely once since obtaining it the day they were released I only normally [...]
