Quitting is easy! I’ve done it hundreds of times! 😀

Paints: Well, I’ve actually looked at some DIY contrast videos and it turns out that contrast stuff uses the same ingredients (half matte medium, a little flow aid, half ink) as Les Bursley’s wash mix (same but with more water), so I can stick to my less expensive brushed-on airbrush primer and washes (now DIY contrast). Also for terrain, I still use craft paints and makeup brushes. The 1/2 ounce hobby paints pretty much stay in their clogged bottles, other than Reaper skin tones.

Miniatures: Reaper Bones went up in price and weirdness, while Blacklist Games drove generic plastic miniatures to fifty-cents each, while Archon tosses in the kitchen sink of sprues. Meanwhile, CMON still makes dice-based combat games. So I’m not even looking at plastic-infused $150 KS games. although I’m gonna admit buying terrain and the occasional niche miniature KS. Tiny Forge’s “Sitting Miniatures” will start in November and Archon may have another Rampart KS. Huzzah!

Boardgames: Gloomhaven fired everything. Yes, I enjoyed HeroQuest with its custom-dice throwing and AD&D with its polyhedrals, but, geez, does every Ameritrash game have to be some dice-throwing game? Why spend $150 on rules and more miniatures to paint on yet another similar boardgame? Oh, wait. CMON’s offering all those western miniatures? Hmmm…

Retail Sales: Not backing all those boardgames on KS I was sitting on the fence on not only means no waiting or drama, but sometimes I can get the base game at *half* the price and shipping KS backers paid, particularly during the holidays. Still means I’m buying stuff though…

3D Printing: Not touching it until I paint my minis! But 3D printing now allows us to not have to buy miniatures that are only “close enough” besides the other benefits, from not paying shipping costs, to no delays, to failed KS projects. What I particularly like are customizable mini “kits”. Hopefully, some will even have a random button so that you can surprise yourself with a new mini every print.

Uh… I can quit anytime! 😀
