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
  • Oh, hey! I have a blog!
    It’s been some time since the last update. I’d like to say it’s because I’ve been frantically busy but really that’s not especially true. What has happened is that at the best of times I can be a little ADD and there was simply been a lot of shiny stuff distracting me over the past [...]
  • 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, [...]

Adventures in painting toy soldiers
  • You Wouldn’t Like Me When I’m Angry…
    Shortly before Christmas, my local game store received one of the new plastic Tyranid Trygon kits for display purposes. As it happened, I was in there at the time and casually mentioned that I’d like to paint one but wasn’t going to buy one just to paint. The manager told me that I was welcome [...]
  • 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 [...]
