Sometimes the YouTube algorithm throws up something really interesting, and last week it suggested that I might find a channel entitled GALEN'S GOT PARKINSONS of interest. I did ... and found a wonderfully eccentric set of videos that I have thoroughly enjoyed watching!
The channel is described as follows:
I started wargaming in the 1960's and love it more than anything. I believe that it is the most amazing and fulfilling hobby. Now I have Parkinson's and things are slowly getting worse, I'll try to share the ups (and downs) of tackling the various fun challenges that I, and others, face. First played D&D in 1978 with 'The Tomb of Horrors' then 'The Giant' trilogy. I bought D&D by accident which is why I tried 'The Tomb' first ... what a mistake that was and I've been making them ever since!
He started wargaming not long after I did, and I have considerable empathy for a fellow long-time wargamer who has an medical condition that isn't going to get better. He still enjoys historical wargaming but is also a very active D&D player with some wonderful Fantasy armies, some of which have been created from original Minifig 'Lord of the Rings' figures.
I find Galen's enthusiasm for his hobby very infectious ... and even Sue has enjoyed watching some of his videos.

Please support GALEN'S GOT PARKINSONS by looking at – and even subscribing – to his YouTube channel.
Galen's video playlist. The Heroes of Gaming one was of particular interest to me.
Well, there's a coincidence, I was watching some of Galen's videos yesterday after he turned up in my Youtube recommended feed. Really interesting and he's so engaging..
