SYNOPSIS Yeah, everyone waited to the last minute to get their Christmas shopping done. The casts are not likely to go shopping at any old store, though. Why go shopping with the great masses when you can find much better stuff in secret government laboratories? This episode sees a return to the Area 51 set,... Continue Reading →
7TV Christmas Special, Episode 1: Caroling
SYNOPSIS It's Christmas, or close enough to it that every store is decorated, each house is lit, and the halls are mostly decked. In an attempt to spread as much Christmas cheer as possible the casts have all decided to go caroling. This isn't about talent and this isn't about singing skill. It's about exposure...

7TV Christmas Special: Casts, Part 2
Two more casts to fill out the Christmas game. Really just an excuse to build casts for the Not a Santas I've painted over the years. Neither of these casts will be a surprise, at least not the figures. They've all been featured in recent posts. But this post will show the cast cards I... Continue Reading →
7TV Christmas Special: Casts, Part 1
I have almost finished supporting casts for the four Not a Santas I have painted. Some were easy to assemble, others are still a frantic work in progress. All of them should make great crews to play a few Holiday Themed 7TV games. The problem, as always, is picking the right cast cards for the... Continue Reading →
Painting Progress
In an earlier post I mentioned having found Grind, by Privateer Press, for cheap at my local Ollie's. Son2 already owns the game. I've seen/heard Son1 and Son2 play the game and I have no interest in it. But, the figures are slightly worse production quality versions of the big stompy robots from Warmachine and...

Frostgrave: My First Play Through
Frostgrave has been out and around for a fair few years, now. Very popular with expansions and lots of active support. So, of course I have avoided it. Maybe not consciously, but I never sought it out and didn't look into the rules. Looked good, but seemed very terrain heavy. The recent release of the... Continue Reading →
The Butchers, or Not a Santa’s Little Helpers
In my last post I showed off the Not a Santa for 2020. As a part of a Guild Ball set, specifically the Butchers Team, he came with some other figures. For 7TV, this will become the supporting cast and costars. Considering I spent only $10 for all of these, it was a bargain and... Continue Reading →
Not a Santa 2020
For the fourth year in a row, I have painted a Not a Santa. This started years back when I had a Reaper Necromancer miniature that was missing a hand and part of his staff. He just screamed "Angry Santa" and thus he became. The following year I found a similar miniature in my pile... Continue Reading →
Kitbashing Kronos
As part of the Argonauts KS, Crooked Dice produces a background description and card for a character named Kronos. Unless I'm completely blind, they have not yet made a figure for Kronos. I can't let a little thing like the figure not existing prevent me from playing the character, however. What to do while I... Continue Reading →
A Mess of Gladiators
What do you call a group of gladiators? There is a gaggle of geese, a murder of crows, and a... what of gladiators. I'm going with a mess. Seems right to me. I recently picked up a lot of gladiators and other figures. They were sold as Wargames Foundry in loose bags. Turns out, they... Continue Reading →
