I propose to make a pod on the "Games Workshop/White Dwarf/Warhammer" phenomena, I will travel to the 2008 Blood Bowl tournament (a dungeons and dragons/american football hybrid) to witness the epic battles and struggles to victory. Whilst there are some people who consider themselves too cool for the body-odour drenched, male-patterned-baldness world of geekdom that is Games-Workshop. My pod will illuminate the passions and the common threads of humanity that this tribe has. As the players manipulate their own tribes of painted lead figures we will follow the journey of 5 contestants as they seek glory or humiliation at the hands of their peers.
With a soundtrack of epic Wagnerian proportions, we will witness what happens when two tribes go to war.......I propose to make a pod on the "Games Workshop/White Dwarf/Warhammer"... more
