In Conversation with Jordan Sorcery

There have been many Games Workshop games that just didn’t make it past the development stage - from Necromunda on a corrupted Eldar Craft World, to a Dr Who time travelling board game, to the fall of the Empire and the corruption of the Warhammer world by Tamurkhan. Rick Priestley, creator of Warhammer and 40k and the design team lead at Games Workshop for many years, joins Jordan Sorcery to explore the history that didn’t happen - some of the many Games Workshop projects that were started but only ever released in rumours, tidbits, hushed whispers, or in some cases not at all.From more collaborations with MB Games after the success of HeroQuest, to new takes on historical wargaming with Perry miniatures, the early iteration of Battlefleet Gothic to a new Mad Max-style IP on the floor of dried out oceans!_____________________________ [ ELEMENT GAMES AFFILIATE LINK ]https://elementgames.co.uk/?d=11216[ PATREON ]https://www.patreon.com/jordansorcery[ KO-FI ]https://ko-fi.com/jordansorcery[ YOUTUBE CHANNELS ]History & Editorial: https://youtube.com/ @jordansorceryLongform Conversation: https://youtube.com/ @JordanSorceryPods  [ WEBSITE ]https://jordansorcery.com/#Warhammer #40k #Warhammer40000 #Necromunda #GamesWorkshop #tabletop #boardgames #RPG #wargames_____________________________ References, Sources, and Links: [Wombat Wargames]https://wombatwargames.com/[Rick Priestley's Space Battles: A Spacefarers Guide Blog]https://spacebattlesaspacefarersguide.blogspot.com/_____________________________ Art, Music, and Copyright: Images used belong to their respective copyright owners Jordan Sorcery Theme by Joylin Music Jordan Sorcery Heraldry by Becka Moor Support the show

John Peake co-founded Games Workshop in 1975 with his school- and flat-mates Steve Jackson and Sir Ian Livingstone. Together they would sell John’s handmade wooden games, publish Owl & Weasel fanzine, and battle to keep the company afloat in its first year.Everything culminated in the first ever Games Day, followed shortly thereafter by John’s decision to leave the company as it pivoted towards Dungeons & Dragons and the emerging roleplaying boom.This is John’s own account of the events that led to the founding of Games Workshop - a voice that has long been missing from the official record of events. NOTE: At the 07:15 mark John mistakenly refers to the date as August '74, this should in fact be August '72._____________________________ [ ELEMENT GAMES AFFILIATE LINK ]https://elementgames.co.uk/?d=11216[ PATREON ]https://www.patreon.com/jordansorcery[ KO-FI ]https://ko-fi.com/jordansorcery[ YOUTUBE CHANNELS ]History & Editorial: https://youtube.com/ @jordansorceryLongform Conversation: https://youtube.com/ @JordanSorceryPods  [ WEBSITE ]https://jordansorcery.com/#GamesWorkshop #tabletop #boardgames #RPG #wargames_____________________________ Art, Music, and Copyright: Images used belong to their respective copyright owners Jordan Sorcery Theme by Joylin Music Jordan Sorcery Heraldry by Becka Moor Jordan Sorcery Heraldry and Theme copyright @jordansorcerySupport the show
