Why you should watch... Jordan Sorcery

 Why you should watch... Jordan Sorcery. 

The You-Tubes is full of people waffling on about what people now call Warhammer Lore. Don't watch those people, they are all wrong and know nothing. Apart from Jordan Sorcery. 

Jordan does not just read from one of the fan written wikis about Warhammer, he does actual research, he does brilliant interviews, he reads material that was actually published by Games Workshop. And of these three, it's Jordan's research that shines through and separates him from the rest of the chaff on wargaming You-Tubes.

Jordan (L) and Martha (R)

His series on the history of Warhammer is, quite frankly, a tour-de-force; history of the real-world development of the fantasy world that our toy soldiers inhabit; the artists, writers and business people that worked over decades to create Warhammer. The story takes many twists and turns and is fascinating, but I think that it's Jordan himself that makes it so fascinating. He brings the subject to life, like any good historian, as he explains and entertains. 

Jordan has dozens and dozens of interviews with people that have been involved in the wargaming, rpg and general gaming industry and they are all of a high standard. There will be someone you really want to listen too and a few interesting people you have never heard of. 

Here are my top 5 Jordan Sorcery Interviews:

1. Rick Priestley - Warhammer Unmade
2. Alessio Cavatorie 
3. Ian Watson
4. Kim Newman (AKA Jack Yeovil) 
5. John Blanche 

But it's not JUST interviews. It's not JUST Warhammer either. Jordan has gone into the history of Bolt Action, starting with the two founders of Bolt Action Miniatures, before they were bought out by Warlord games. RPGs are obviously of interest to Jordan, in fact he has written a part for the upcoming Warhammer The Old World RPG from Cubicle 7.

The single best thing about this channel is Jordan himself however - he is enthusiastic, knowledgeable and a great writer, presenter and interviewer. When he talks it's always interesting and when he's interviewing he lets his guests do the talking, just pipping int to nudge them in the right direction. 

Jordan, of course, is not alone on his channel. He is often kept company by his cat, Martha.
