BigLee’s Miniature Adventures turns sixteen years old, and it’s got me reflecting on where I started, how the hobby has changed, and why I still keep a wargaming blog alive in 2025. In this video, I talk openly about the rise and fall of hobby blogs, my own journey from blogging to YouTube, and whether long-form written content still has a place in modern tabletop wargaming.
I explore how blogs once formed the backbone of the online wargaming community, why so many have faded away, and how newer platforms like YouTube, Facebook groups, and Instagram have reshaped how we share our hobby. More importantly, I explain why I’ve chosen not to abandon my blog — and why blogs still matter for documenting projects, sharing in-depth hobby thoughts, and preserving the history of our games.
If you’re a tabletop wargamer, historical gamer, or miniature painter who’s ever run a blog, followed one, or wondered if blogging is still worth it, this video is for you.
