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 →
Mice!
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 →
Blood & Plunder at the Muster
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 →
A river runs through it
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 →
Blood & Plunder & Scatter Terrain
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 →
Friday the 13th Project: 3D Printing Fun
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 Rises, and Brings a Friend
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 →
A Cast for Son2
These were all painted earlier this year but Son2 doesn't know that they are really a gift for him. This will be the first time we try to do superheroes in a 7TV cast. My first thought was that I would have to use the Mutation cards to give them powers. I only resorted to... Continue Reading →
Last Minute Christmas Present for Son1
Just finishing a 7TV cast as a gift for my oldest. I was struggling to come up with a suitable cast that would be playable and still a bit on the lighter-side. I had found some Minions from Despicable Me that were close in scale. Since I now have a 3D printer, a little searching... Continue Reading →
Unboxing ” Cthulhu: Death May Die”
Kickstarters are great. Yeah, yeah, yeah, sometimes they are late in delivering. Sometimes they rules aren't really fleshed out. And sometimes you just lose the drive to play the game before it ever hits your door. This is to say nothing about those projects that never ship. Or those that never support after release. Or...
