New year, new projects. Not that this counts as my project for this year. I still haven't figured out what the project will be, but it's not what you will see below in this post. To back up a bit, I found myself with some free time around Christmas. The 7TV Dracula project from 2025... Continue Reading →
Things have not been going well for the Count. He plans for his big move to England. Hires a firm to help him scout out a location and move his stuff. Then, after he's moved in and starting to get to know the area and the local cuisine, his realtor shows up with some friends... Continue Reading →
'Tis the season. There are many things people do this season. Some important, some less so. Many of them are traditions. For me and this blog that tradition is "Not a Santa"! What's "Not a Santa"? Well, it's not a Santa, that's for sure. It's surprising how many miniatures are not meant to be a... Continue Reading →
Where are we in the Dracula story? He's moved in, found a great place to live. And great neighbors, as well. They can be a bit loud, but they are insane so that is to be expected. Episode 4 takes us to the ruins of Carfax. Dracula has moved in but hasn't had time to... Continue Reading →
For Episode 3, we find the poor Lucy has died. No one has told her that, yet, but she died. She was dead and buried for her eternal rest. Again, no one thought to get positive confirmation back from her that she was aware of the eternal portion. So, it's off to the graveyard to... Continue Reading →
Count Dracula's vacation has not been going well. His travel agent, Mr. Harker, took ill. His wives are nagging him. And you know how difficult it can be to find good hired hands in Transylvania. Labor unions are most likely to blame. He finally got away. After centuries, he really needed this change of scenery.... Continue Reading →
I've been very lax about posting, obviously. But I have been working on the terrain and miniatures to play all of the Dracula Episodes. There is a lot of terrain. I may have bitten off more than I should. Which is fine, but I'm a little sick of all of the terrain. It's not the... Continue Reading →
Do you know how difficult it is to find children? For wargames. Don't make it creepy. It makes sense when you think about it. For most games there is no reason to include kids. Maybe they could be there for some WWII fighting in cities. Maybe a few for pulp games; everyone needs that plucky... Continue Reading →
I recently purchased the starter box for Star Schlock. Saw this at Historicon last year and on Kickstarter before that. It was very tempting, but I didn't really have the funds or the time for a new ruleset. I was able to pick up the starter and some extra miniatures for a great price at... Continue Reading →
I've been jumping around a lot on this Dracula project. Minis are mostly done, but the buildings for the Episodes and the terrain are taking time. And some of them are a really good opportunity to develop and practice a few new skills. So, naturally I have been bouncing around from the various Episodes and... Continue Reading →
