In today’s video, I’m diving into a topic that many hobbyists quietly wrestle with: imposter syndrome in tabletop wargaming. Ever scroll through comments or chat at a show and feel like everyone else knows far more about the hobby than you? The truth is far simpler—and far more encouraging. We all arrive in this hobby by wildly different routes, shaped by the people we’ve met, the games we’ve played, the shows we’ve attended, and the strange little niches we’ve fallen in love with. No wonder our knowledge varies so much.
But despite our different paths, we always seem to get along effortlessly. What makes that possible? In this video, I explore the common elements that bind us together as a community: a shared love of stories, of making things, of playful competition, of learning new skills—and the pure joy of playing with miniatures on a real tabletop. Any scale, any period, any genre… the moment a toy soldier hits the table, something magical happens.
Join me for a warm, honest, and slightly tongue-in-cheek look at what makes this hobby feel like home.
