What Orny Was Thinking

So… sorry it got shitty, gang. I tend to think of my characters as excuses to paint miniatures, but I guess I bummed Mike and others out tonight giving him a new excuse. I just want to write down quick…

Conference Call Accomplishments

I don’t know if I told anybody about this, but I’m working from home a little bit while we get used to the kid, and instead of my former home office in the front room of the house, I’ve consigned…

Jim’s Bones came

I had to do some painting and removing of some last furniture and crap from the nursery tonight, and let me tell you having that box of dozens and dozens of miniatures you want to leaf through is great motivation…

Orny

I took David seriously when he said he wanted minis starting out pretty unimpressive, then moving up from there. I bought a series of not-super-wizardy-looking robe-wearers to represent Orny. This guy is what you get when you input “robe &…

Nerd Poker

I know we’re not all podcast-listeners, but if you are you should be listening to Nerd Poker. It’s the same dick jokes and not-knowing-the-rules that we do, only you can listen to it at work. I listen to it while…

XCOM: Enemy Unknown is awesome

You know what I love? Turn-based tactical games. Warhammer 40k kind of ran off the cliff of Fun ROI last year and Warmachine hasn’t seemed to find much traction with you guys yet (YET!), so I’ve got to go begging…

Kickstarted

So, we talked about it last night and I pulled the trigger this morning. I’ve never kickstarted anything before, but for $125 it seems ridiculous not to get yourself this everlasting fountain of minis. Check out the  Reaper Bones Kickstarter…

Meet Ron Towin

Okay… Ron’s painted. Backstory on Ron is that he was a wandering monk who’d been taught the Drunken Fist and Quarterstaff Master styles before his monastery was wiped out (like all of them always are). He managed to survive and…

Firestorm Armada

Overbo handed me a generous gift certificate for Tower at my wedding reception (apparently Mike subscribes to the “start as you mean to go on” school of wedding gifts, which I think we all should), so I did some shopping…
