Blog posts have been a bit spotty recently. Stress at work has reduced the urge to write, but the painting continues apace. Now I just need to find time to actually play the games I'm painting. I haven't really been painting with a purpose. No specific project or goal, just reducing the pile and painting... Continue Reading →
More spoils of gaming convention hunts. I was able to score most of the Scooby Gang at Historicon in 2021, all except Velma. Dig around as I might, I could not find Velma. That's alright, the 3D printer exists for a reason. The miniatures are, themselves, good. Considering the source material you can't expect much... Continue Reading →
I'm finishing all of the minis from the Crooked Dice "Lurkers from the Deep" Kickstarter. The villains and the random townsfolk are finished and have bee seen in earlier posts. The Kickstarter came with many new heroes to combat the fishy machinations of the Oder of Dagon or Dr Fiske or whomever. In keeping with... Continue Reading →
I'm not sure what it is about Pulp stories, be they print or film, but they do seem to have a lot of action at docks. Do cities even have that many docks? It's always smugglers.

To start, I spent too much, played too little, and took fewer photos than I should have. We arrived Friday just before lunch time and there were already vendors set-up and running. Great turn out for the vendors, lots of variety and lots of great product. The usuals were there, but I didn't manage to... Continue Reading →
As part of the Lurkers from the Deep kickstarter, I picked up many many many Fishfolk hybrids. Gotta have the people if you're gonna have the town. From Crooked Dice, these miniatures are great for your Innsmouth themed pulpy adventures. For those familiar with the Lovecraft story, these are clearly some of the farther gone... Continue Reading →
Below is the scenario I plan to run at the Williamsburg Muster, 18-20 Feb 2022. Planning for 4 players, but we can always adjust that. SYNOPSIS It's that time of year again. The citizens of Dawnmourn gather together to celebrate The Festival and all the semi-Lovecraftian horrors it brings. Responding to reports of odd happenings,... Continue Reading →
The rest of the package of spies I purchased at Historicon. These are Pulp Figures! by Bob Murch that I purchased from Your Hobby Place. One of them was 2021 Not a Santa, the rest are just pulpy spies waiting for a game. Here's another instance where I'm missing the references. I'm sure these each... Continue Reading →
Yes, I know. I know. I typed those words in earlier posts, so , yes, I know. You read those posts and read my complaints about Reaper Bones, the material acting oddly and paints acting differently. You read those and now you are confused. You are confused because I complained and, yet, here are more... Continue Reading →
