About The Podcast

The Independent Characters are a couple of guys from a regular gaming group who decided to strike out on their own and attempt the impossible (or at least improbable). So how does our Podcast seek to differentiate itself from all the others? I’m glad you asked!

What we WILL do:

• Attempt to bring you “into” our gaming group. We want you to feel like you are hanging with your friends on a Friday night.
• Provide you with updates on our hobby progress, battle reports overviews, and hopefully provide a little inspiration.
• Give you our opinions on GW 40K product releases.
• Provide our reviews of GW 40K fiction releases.
• Provide videos and interviews of local events and possibly some that are further away.
• Entertain you on your commute to and from work – or at least during painting.

What we do NOT intend to do:

• Provide in-depth Codex Overviews… There’s enough of those to go around.
• Provide “News” segments. We assume most of our listeners will already be well versed in what is coming up. This isn’t to say we won’t give our opinions on upcoming stuff though!

So who are “The Independent Characters” anyway?

Carl Tuttle – carl@theindependentcharacters.com

An avid roleplayer for over 30 years, Carl joined the ranks of the miniature wargamers in 2005 when he finally decided to pick up Warhammer 40k to play with a friend. Soon the purchasing spiraled out of control and the shelves began to fill up with boxes of still shrink-wrapped GW Space Marine product. Eventually he came to his senses, shed himself of his oaths to The Emperor, sold all his Space Marines and dived into the world of Chaos. This was much better as now he pays twice as much for Forgeworld product instead of just plastic GW Product. However, he has now come full circle and added an Ultramarines army to his roster of choices.

Geoff Hummel – geoff@theindependentcharacters.com

Entering gaming through Magic: The Gathering as a young man, Geoff spent nearly a decade stuck on card-flopping until he was introduced to tabletop RPGs in college. It wasn’t until shortly before the current Ork codex was released (around 2008) that he moved from a rather enjoyable Mordheim campaign into a full-on 40k addiction. Since then tons of Salamanders Space Marines and an unknown number of the inscrutable Eldar have weaseled their way into Geoff’s gaming space.
