2025 has started with chaos and lots of work. Lots of things happening in my professional life, my personal life, my spiritual life, and all of it makes the hobby life more disordered. All to the good, but it really means that my hobby work has been defined by lots of starts and stops with... Continue Reading →
These are the last of the official Dracula miniatures from Crooked Dice I received as part of the Kickstarter. They are not the last ones I will need to play the episodes, but we can look at the gathering of casts later. Here we see Dracula's brides. Not exactly brides; that word is not used...

Adding to the good guys and gal I showed earlier, we also have some of the villains. Though here language breaks down a bit. Do we have bad guys and gal? It's really just one guy. And Lucy wasn't bad, she was corrupted. Regardless, I have minis, they are painted, that is what matters. Might... Continue Reading →
We all know what's coming. Clearly, I'm going to do 7TV Dracula as my focused project in 2025. As 2024 ends it's time to look for another project and Dracula is there. Already invited in, it's next in line and just taunting me. Earlier posts showed the progress on some of the asylum inmates, the... Continue Reading →
This marks the eighth year of painting Not a Santa miniatures. It started as a random thing. I had time on my hands, an odd broken miniature, and it was the right season. Can't imagine what this tradition would be if that free time has come in the middle of spring. It would be much... Continue Reading →
It's not all about 7TV here. It's mostly about 7TV, but I do play other games. Or, more accurately, I buy, paint, and store other games. The play part proves to be elusive. It took a while for me to even get the starter set for 02 Hundred Hours. I have the first two expansion... Continue Reading →
Lurker from the Deep: Episode 5 needs bridges. All those islands... gonna be tough to get from one to the other without bridges. Bridges are an odd thing for gaming terrain. They are out there, they exist. But there are all in odd shapes and sizes. There are some very nice ones that are honkin'... Continue Reading →
Lurkers from the Deep: Episode 5 definitely has an interesting board. Lots of opportunities for creativity and for finding odd solutions for the terrain features. Previously I showed the work on the central dais and megaliths (found the right term) that dominate the game board. One part was missing, the actual altar piece. Crooked Dice... Continue Reading →
Devils Reef continues to take shape. With the mass of islands completed, I get to move on to the big center piece of the whole board. I'm not sure what to call this section. There is an altar, there are pillars, there's this raised platform. But it's not itself an altar. It's not itself a... Continue Reading →
Episode 5 has a lot of flat terrain to paint. It's a 4'x4' table that is supposed to be the exposed parts of a reef where bad guys are doing bad things while the good guys attempt to race in to go good things. I feel that is a sufficient description. I should be an... Continue Reading →
