Welcome to Dice & Dispatches
Hi! I’m Justin — the hobbyist, storyteller, and competitive miniatures gamer behind Dice & Dispatches. This blog is where I combine my love of tabletop wargames with narrative writing to create immersive, journalistic-style battle reports and hobby content.
A Little About Me
I’ve been a tabletop gaming enthusiast for years — from sprawling fantasy campaigns to sci-fi skirmishes. Miniatures games are my passion; I love painting armies, testing strategies, and telling stories through the dice rolls.
I also play Star Wars: Legion competitively as part of Team Roll Better Dice (though, trust me, the name hasn’t magically improved my rolls yet!). My goal is always to improve, learn, and share the journey with others who love the hobby as much as I do.
Why Narrative Battle Reports?
I’ve always believed games are more than numbers and dice; they’re stories. Dice & Dispatches is my way of blending two passions:
- Competitive play — the lists, tactics, and thrill of high-stakes games.
- Immersive storytelling — turning matches into dispatches, complete with quotes, character moments, and cinematic details.
Beyond Legion
Although Star Wars: Legion is my primary competitive game, you’ll also find me diving into other miniature and tabletop games — from Trench Crusade to Malifaux to experimental systems like Zeogenesis. Dice & Dispatches is designed to grow with me as my interests expand.
