Summary: Henry Hyde has launched his own publishing firm named Gladius Publications. Learn how the author of The Wargaming Compendium (also on Kindle) will publish digital history, militaria, and wargaming books. The longest-running tabletop wargaming podcast on the planet Through his research Neil discovered the 3 longest-running shows are Drop Pod Cast, his Meeples & Miniatures, and Wargaming Recon. Neil also said according to dates on the feeds Wargaming Recon takes first place by 6 days and it has been around 6 months longer than Meeples & Miniatures. Other podcasts like the Dice Tower, This Week in Tech, & The Adam Carolla Show, for example, have been around longer but, they’re not tabletop wargaming podcasts. Brief History of Gladius Publications Gladius is the offspring from Henry’s former web design partnership under the name H A Design. He revived Gladius as the overarching entity to self publish his upcoming works. Genres Gladius will Publish Fiction Science Fiction Fantasy (like Henry’s Barik’s Blades, which was recently shortlisted for Triskele Book’s First Page 2016 competition) Militaria Wargaming (but not the three books he’s releasing through Penn & Sword covering Wargame Campaigns, his Shot, Steel, & Stone wargaming rules, and a third untitled project). Select work by other authors Formats Gladius will Use eBook formats such as pdf, epub, Kindle, and iBooks Print on demand for select titles through Amazon’s CreateSpace Gladius’ Online Courses It will begin offering online courses in the vein of Lynda.com Courses will be geared towards professionals and businesses Unlikely for any courses to cover wargaming topics Instead will teach how to use Adobe Photoshop, writing tools, and other software Mailbag Via E-mail (send mail to jonathan @ wargamingrecon.com): Listener Dave said of Episode 165: 10 Years of Wargaming Recon “Good luck it sound like it’s going to be a good one.” Recurring guest Neil Shuck of Meeples & Miniatures said of Episode 165: 10 Years of Wargaming Recon “Really well done on 10 years!” Recurring guest & game designer Russ Lockwood said of Episode 165: 10 Years of Wargaming Recon “Congratulations on reaching the 10-year milestone.
