All with the usual lashings of ramshackle production and juvenile humour

Baconburgers 23: wrapping up 2020 (and putting it in the bin)

In this episode, our hosts are still sealed in the Baconbunker and obviously the threads of sanity are unravelling. As nobody has been able to play any games for six months, discussion turns to hobby strategies: How to keep motivation going  to paint during lockdown, tips and tricks for tackling batch painting, how to prevent burnout, and some thoughts on how to get the best from commission painting from both sides. And a discussion about how putting on your fighting trousers every day even if you are locked in with the Morlocks is important for your sanity.
