About The Hobbinomicon

Hobbying from the deep end of the dungeon.

The Hobbinomicon is part journal, part personal hobby log, part indie game directory and discovery platform.

I'm not chasing a big audience. I'm trying to build the site I wanted when I was hunting down Mage Knight strategy guides on websites that had been dead for a decade. If you're looking for indie games, weird minis, or games that put the soul back into gaming and hobbying, this site is for you.

I want to help people find indie games or specialist games their publishers (Games Workshop) abandoned. I want to highlight the indie and small press studios that are making great games and keeping the hobby alive. The people doing it for the love of the game.

Daily hobby content since September 2025 and haven't missed a day yet. Working toward a Golden Daemon win and, some day, my own miniature company. Hopefully.

Check out my buy / sell / trade list if you're looking to swap hobby items.
