(p.s alot of GoLвЂ™s old stock ended up in in the back room of Quiggins)Д®xcellent podcast again as always, chaps. Gutted!Д®ven today, whenever I pass the building that housed it, my mind always kind of projects Games of Liverpool onto the current facade. So, it was with great sadness I marched to GoL sometime in the summer of 1992 only to find it was no more. Yet, it was while a student I started playing again which fanned the dull glowing coals of my gaming interest. At least GoL continued flying the flag and as I write this I remember being enthralled by the dusty miniature dioramas and the strangely appealing smell of musty games laden shelves.ДЄlthough by the start of the 90s my interest in games had dwindled in favour of live gigs, weekend cider drinking and ultimately going to Uni in London. Sadly, for me, within a relatively short space of time I could sense a change in the weather as fewer and fewer RPGs were stocked in Games Workshop in favour of Warhammer. Seeing the Bold Street Games workshop and GoL for the first time was a near paradise experience I canвЂ™t quite put into words. Thus when arriving back home I made a B-line for Liverpool city centre. My only contact with the вЂoutsideвЂ™ world, were random issues of White Dwarf sent by UK friends and stuff IвЂ™d asked for on my parentsвЂ™ infrequent visits back to Blighty.

However, where IвЂ™d been living was an island in the Caribbean with ZERO tabletop outlets. I moved back to Merseyside in the summer of вЂ™86 after 4 years abroad, during which time IвЂ™d become an avid RPGer. Games of Liverpool, alas, I knew it well. Keep up the reminiscing chaps, look forward to the next one! I was in the early years of my RPG hiatus when it happened, so the event sadly passed me by. IвЂ™m not sure exactly when it happened, but GoL eventually shut down вЂ“ whether that has anything to do with GW I donвЂ™t know. Over time it seemed that GoL struggled while GW thrived, while cutting down the range of games it supported until it was only WH and other licensed stuff a few years later. Even then I found GoL far more interesting. Initially GW had a diverse range of RPGвЂ™s and board games, with Warhammer stuff on the increase. No chance of a bargain game for me that day! With a few quid in hand I went down there with my mate Dave about 10.30 and was hugely disappointed to see the queue seen in Ian LivingstoneвЂ™s photo. I recall the store had a big opening at 11am with many top games on sale for ВЈ1. When GW opened in Bold St, Liverpool (IвЂ™m guessing 1985) it was a big thingвЂ¦ Ian Livingstone tweeted about it not long ago with a photo ( ). That was the case for many years and it seems I have similar memories to yourselves with GW. My RPG life started at 17 in the summer of 1983, defined by weekly visits to Games of Liverpool.

ItвЂ™s great someone has such fond memories of Games Workshop, but I look at it very differently. Browsing through games in store used to be a pure pleasure.

I suffer from a modern habit of not trusting my gut instinct вЂ“ I wonвЂ™t buy a game until IвЂ™ve read reviews, seen some video reviewsвЂ¦ plus I can get the game online with the physical book and the PDF for a few quid more etc etc. I blame the internet which has royally screwed up this particular experience (while adding loads of other cool stuff so no complaints). Too much choice and theyвЂ™re all shrink wrapped anyway. Standing staring at the shelves of RPG books, not knowing where to start. They talk about so many past and present experiences that resonate with my ownвЂ¦ DirkвЂ™s comment on not knowing what to do in a game store describes an experience I had myself just a few days ago. ThereвЂ™s a riot going on in the background, sorry about that, it is the sound of Bolton IвЂ™m afraid.ДЄ call for the submission of your memories of Games Workshop and a thank you to Patreons.ДЄnother great episode, when I listen I always find myself wanting to join in the conversations, particularly between Dirk and Blythy. The first part of вЂs contribution to the episode where he talks about his experience of using figures in his games.Д«lythy joins me to talk about minis, memories and how we consume games. He was the manager of Dalling Road branch, then Manchester, before taking the first stores to America. I am joined by Tim Olsen who was instrumental in the early days of GW. The story about how school friends came together to form Games Workshop and how it grew and grew вЂ¦

This is about the remembered place that was Games Workshop, when we were kids, and the magical lead figures we found there. This is an unusual episode as it is about a place more than a thing.
