John Peake co-founded Games Workshop in 1975 with his school- and flat-mates Steve Jackson and Sir Ian Livingstone. Together they would sell John's handmade wooden games, publish Owl & Weasel fanzine, and battle to keep the company afloat in its first year.Everything culminated in the first ever Games Day, followed shortly thereafter by John's decision to leave the company as it pivoted towards Dungeons & Dragons and the emerging roleplaying boom.This is John's own account of the events that led to the founding of Games Workshop - a voice that has long been missing from the official record of events. NOTE: At the 07:15 mark John mistakenly refers to the date as August '74, this should in fact be August '72._____________________________ [ ELEMENT GAMES AFFILIATE LINK ]https://elementgames.co.uk/?d=11216[ PATREON ]https://www.patreon.com/jordansorcery[ KO-FI ]https://ko-fi.com/jordansorcery[ YOUTUBE CHANNELS ]History & Editorial: https://youtube.com/ @jordansorceryLongform Conversation: https://youtube.com/ @JordanSorceryPods [ WEBSITE ]https://jordansorcery.com/#GamesWorkshop #tabletop #boardgames #RPG #wargames_____________________________ Art, Music, and Copyright: Images used belong to their respective copyright owners Jordan Sorcery Theme by Joylin Music Jordan Sorcery Heraldry by Becka Moor Jordan Sorcery Heraldry and Theme copyright @jordansorcerySupport the show

Per me Nottingham è sempre stata solo la patria di Robin Hood e Little John. Scorribande nelle foreste, archi, frecce, spade e soprattutto rubare ai ricchi per dare ai poveri. Mai avrei pensato che Nottingham avesse dato i natali anche a John Peake Knight, l'ingegnere che ha inventato il semaforo.
