The New York Bop game is totally a pastiche of the 70’s movie The Warriors. Hopefully whomever owns the license doesn’t notice!
The Warriors is once of my favourite movies. I love all the gang designs but The Baseball Furies were always my fave.
They did. The Kickstarter has been taken down. 🙁
Inspired by Lloyd, I made my own thread for my Soviet Bolt Action force. 🙂
Happy Sunday!
Endure the Stars…wtf?
Note to fellow Mercs backers – that’s boardgame quality minis nowadays on a budget 1/10 of what Megacon raised, yet alone TT quality!
Happy Sunday
Morning folks…
@lloyd New York Bop is based around this movie; The Warriors

Happy Sunday
New York Bop has the following message on Kickstarter;
New York Bop – Street Gang Warfare by Ghetto Miniatures is the subject of an intellectual property dispute and is currently unavailable.
Looks like someone did notice……

According to Ghetto FB page age the whole thing has been cancelled as they will not change the project and appeal to have the hold removed
Ah well great timing.
I section off each month feedback so that people can get proper feedback for each of their projects. If you have a question ask it, trust me, our community is awesome, they will section it out, they will respond. A lot of people have a lot going on and trying keep track of multiple threads is actually much, much harder for them. In this way they only keep track of one thread, and it is nice an easy for them. Plus there is the quote tool, which will help show which thing your talking about. Also if you click the… Read more »
Hi @caladors, I think what you’ve done with the thread is great. It’s pulled the community together and got loads of people chatting to each other. No plans to shut the thread, it’s obvusly being injoyed. In a way, like I said on the show it’s like a coffee table book, a fantastic way for people to sit back scroll down an absorbe what’s cool to see 🙂 Let’s see if opening some other threads and linking to them from WAYPN as a plus side to it. We might find it doesn’t work, maybe people will post all they want… Read more »
The thread is many things to many people, I understand you find to be a coffee table book. For some they see it as an aspiration piece, they see people quietly working away on their projects turn them into something beautiful. I think it is a grand idea for people to have their own thread, I have seen what has happened with a lot of them though. And I know why people don’t do it as much. See it may sound silly, but I have studied online behaviours and I know why people do certain things in an academic sense.… Read more »
That’s what I’ve found @caladors. I posted a Dungeon Saga thread and although there’s occasional feedback, it’s nowhere near as frequent as it is in WAYPN. WAYPN feels very much like a sub-community whereas my own thread just felt like me posting pictures
Definitely is a community, I do a lot to encourage feedback like one of the biggest prizes for the end of year thing went out to the top commenter, and the most frequent poster. A lot of people did beautiful work, and that is hard for a lot of people to do for a lot of reason, but feedback, and continual posting is something everyone can if they put effort in. We’re really glad to have you too 😀
I dont really see a good option for how to fix the issue @Lloyd has brought up. Everything in one thread means folks are exposed to different people. Project threads dont ever seem to get comments and die out. That has been my experience.
La sigh, my comment regarding What are you painting now is awaiting moderation, most properly cause of the links. But the very TL;DR version is this, people like the thread, just ask away, and I will help you guys in whatever way I can.
Nothing wrong with the WAYPN thread @caladors, I do agree with some of @Lloyd says and I plan on starting my own specific thread but will also still be posting on the WAYPN thread. It’s a great place to find inspiration and stuff that I wouldn’t normally look at and if people are interested in what I post they can find my thread for more details and to give/receive advice.
Don’t get disheartened, your thread has inspired me and others to try new things and to improve my techniques!
I am not disheartened, just a lot of frustration today with things not working, there is a 300 word post under moderation because it is ‘my first post’ :/ where I basically do what I always do. Talk about how awesome our community is 😀 But yea, I explain everything better in that one. Also I am super chuffed that it has inspired you 😀 Your work is already so good with the fabric patterns you paint on, just awesome man, just awesome. However, because of how long it takes me, I do it all in the videos now, which… Read more »
It happens when you post multiple links in a comment to a video or news item. It happened to me during the week on the RK unboxing vid but it was approved and visible not long after.
Ha ha yeah, it is just so cringe worthy when it is says it’s because your first post. You just look at it going… Are you for real.
I’m with @Lloyd and I’m off to start my own thread for my Bushido project now!
Justin I think you did get the American Civil War back to front, Lincoln where only able to issue the Emancipation Proclamation due to the civil war. But slavery did play a part in the war as well – and the question of State right vs. The Central Government
Specifically the rights of some states to have slaves.
I am not saying that the evil of slavery was not an issue, but it was not the sole issue – there was numerous other socio-economic reasons that the war happened. Aside from some firebrands many northers would have been fine with slavery as long as it was kept south of the Mason-Dixon line.
NOTE I did not mean to defend slavery in any way – few things in human history is as bad as owning an other human
Don’t worry about @oriskany he may not of heard, we probably lost him when you started talking about tea 🙂
Talking of which it’s time for a brew
I have to say I love the WAYPN thread. I do agree with you Lloyd that it can be difficult to navigate, I personally think two small changes to the forum can eliminate the problem. When I press quote not on the most recent page, it wont quote. Thats an easy way of bringing something old to the front again. Secondly, a quick way of getting through pages, to get to page 75 is a lot of clicking
If you separated it off, having a section called project logs could be cool
Happy sunday everyone. As an Endure the stars backer on kickstarter i can’t wait for this to arrive on my doorstep.
Happy Sunday,
for transportation of my boardgames i build new card holder and tokenboxes.
i managed to put all stuff from battlestar galactica in only ONE box and i can close it without any problems 🙂

A great show guys. I am waiting for Romains new painting tutorials.
Concerning the WAYPN thread I can see where @lloyd is coming from. However, I’ve posted numerous separate threads and I certainly don’t want to complain about the feedback I’ve received at all but sometimes threads can go unnoticed and get buried quickly (especially with the amount of Off Topic discussions in the hobby forum 😉 ). And page one threads are what people look at. The WAYPN thread is ALWAYS on page one and feedback is guaranteed so *everybody* can be sure to get attention. I think that’s awesomely unique to our forum!! Thanks to @caladors efforts the previous somewhat… Read more »

Would you believe it. Got home after shooting the show to find the DC Univers game had popped up on the home screen and there was lex in the very suite mentioned 🙂
I backed New York Bop the last time and would love to see them succeed.
I’m with @lloyd regarding the project threads. I already make seperate topics for projects I want to share, mostly because more often than not there will be multiple posts as the project progresses.
Then I make a mention in the ‘What are you painting now’ thread with just one image and a link when a project is finished or I feel there is another need to share it there.
Easy browsers can then just like that post while hobbyists with questions can click the link to get to the full project thread.
