So after
nearly two weeks after my quitting my job to run Farlands Games full
time, what have I learnt so far?
I have
learnt that this lark is hard. Hard work, early mornings and late
nights. And I am still only internet based. But hard work I have
always found to be fun, I love the challenge that life in general can
throw at you.
Learning
not to trust people, but having to almost walk their path as well as
your own. The debacle that was Thursday Night Gaming is a testament
to this, and will not be making that mistake again in a hurry.
Getting
supplies is a tricky one for me at the moment. As you know (or may
not), I want to start supplying new board games to the masses.
Getting my hands on these is another matter. Companies, for some
reason I cannot understand, do not want to sell to you unless you are
a “bricks and mortar”. I would have thought, that in this day
and age, a sale was a sale, no matter where it went as long as you
paid the price they were asking? Anyway, lets not dwell on that. I
have a supplier, I just need to make that order.
Coupled to
the above fact though, I have started coming up with my own game
ideas, Farlands Originals if you will. I came up with one last
night, and am surprised to see that no one on the internet has yet
brought it to production. This game will be cool, you will all know
how to play it, but it has a nice twist that makes it unique. But
more on that later.
Most of
all I have learnt that my new job is fun. I have never had a job that
is fun, and I know this will have its moments, but I am having a real
blast at the moment, and when it all comes together properly at the
end of this month, (or the next..), I will be so glad that I left my
old job and started Farlands Games properly.
Until the
next post, peace and happy gaming
