Ninjabread - Wargaming Scribbles, by Curis, every Space-Friday

Site Updates - Happy New Year

Just having seen the Tenth Doctor regenerate in the concluding part of the festive Doctor Who special it seems entirely appropriate Ninjabread itself undergoes an amazing physical transformation. Ninjabread's old design dates back to 18th October 2007, and so in the spirit of change I'm rolling out a new improved three-column design. Yes, that's 50% more column for your browsing pleasure.

Let me also slip in a few mentions of important things that have slipped past. First, Ninjabread is running exclusive fortnightly strips over at the excellent Bell of Lost Souls. Rather awesome, so head on over there.

Secondly, thanks to HeelanHammer for the recent plug on their excellent podcast. Sadly, it was to Ninjabread.com - a domain that for years was owned by some enlightened soul selling Cafe Press merchandise of a loaf holding a katana. So in despair at the misdirected publicity I went to Ninjabread.com to tut at their tat only to discover the registration had just lapsed and was there for the taking. So now, www.ninjabread.com and www.ninjabread.co.uk are one and the same place. And well, thanks to HeelanHammer for opening up that opportunity.

Happy New Year all.

Er, 6 months back...

Today marks 6 months since Ninjabread was last updated.

So what happened Curis? Fall out of love with wargaming?

Well, I just got absorbed into other areas of the hobby. Painting my exciting new Ork army, attending tournaments and faffling with far too many side projects.

There's a few stories of what happened in the missing months over on the Dice Not Blog. There's even photos on the sporadic updates. I always recommend you give it a read.

So what does the future hold for Ninjabread?

Well, I've been trying to kickstart it. Problem is I get in a circle of not wanting to update the blog as there's no strips. And I don't want to do more strips as there's nothing to read in the blog. Catch 22.

However, I have been fiddling behind the scenes with some new code and galleries. I've decided the only way to get things back to their golden days is to gradually resume it bit by bit. Starting with this rather boring post. Expect fun pictures, articles, and layout changes.

Here's to another 6 months.

It'd bollocksed up

My sweetly ignorant girlfriend is to thank for this strip. Being entirely baffled by wargames (other than knowing she's not allowed to touch any of my 'little plastic men') she actually reads most of the padding White Dwarf is full of, and picked up on their choice of words.

This is Ninjabread's 10th strip, which means I am now considering the site permanently established. You can go back to the beginning and see how the quality and style has fluctuated during these initial endeavours.

In other news, Ninjabread does indeed seem to be back and fully functional. In case you missed it I was having some issues yesterday. I thought I'd broken it with my own fiddling, but it turns out it was my hosting company's fault.
