Haven't posted in almost two months. Nothing to do with the plague or anything, just busy. And here you can see the fruits of one of my labors. In March I was putting together some Wild West buildings. Been playing Gunfighter's Ball and wanted to improve the quality of the scenery. That lead me to... Continue Reading →
This town is getting big. Any bigger and it will need a name. As the town expands it does bring a certain air to it. An air of culture, of refinement. So this is total just a hotel and not some seedy joint with questionable type hanging around offering services. Again, we are looking at... Continue Reading →
That title needs hyphens. It's unclear what the adjective(s) are really modifying. Is the West Wild? Are the Buildings Western style? Are the Buildings of a style that the West, which is Wild, would have? Ambiguity may be a problem, here. I assume you all will figure it out of yourselves. I've been sitting on... Continue Reading →
It is no longer clear to me what I'm doing. This is hobby with out purpose. This is pure waste. But, it's funny! Really, this was borne of an accident. I have been slowly painting all of the 7TV: Apocalypse figures from the Kickstarter. The Hazmat Crew was first going to be in yellow suits... Continue Reading →
I do not play GW games. I try not to reference GW games. I do not give my money to GW for their games or figures. I am a snob and derive enjoyment from feeling superior to others about their love of GW games. Which is all a shame. And a bit of a lie.... Continue Reading →
The 2020 Williamsburg Muster is coming up 14-16 February. Some may find this weekend an odd choice, given the timing of the celebration of a certain Saint. Shouldn't we gamers be at home with our significant others? Obviously not. Those others are pissed off. Who would want to be home with them that weekend. It's... Continue Reading →
For my Blood & Plunder step-up I have a very nice 4'x6' neoprene mat that I can populate with a wide variety of buildings, plans, ruins, or many other things. But for most games of B&P a 4x6 area is too big. Especially at conventions. If I supply a 100 point force, a 3x4 area... Continue Reading →
I have been running Blood & Plunder games since the KS delivered. If you haven't looked into it yet and are at all inclined to piracy, you should give it a try. The rules are complex enough to allow for actual tactical thinking but playable enough that you won't get lost in charts. My goal... Continue Reading →
Also known as "The Project With No Deadline" because I want to do it, but I don't really need to finish it at any specific time. Those are either the best projects or the worst. Best because I get to work it whenever I want and there is no pressure. Worst because there is no... Continue Reading →
Talos is a figure in Greek mythology and poems. If you are at all interested in how stories change over time and are adapted by different cultures, then you should look into Talos. The stories place Talos on Crete, but there the word talos is a referenced to the Sun; a dialectic choice over the... Continue Reading →
