[unofficial weekender] Summer is over!

@demonsub I’m not saying it is Space Hulk but that it was just what my brain went to and got stuck on.

It actually does reminds of the alien isolation with added ingredient to increase the risks gaming.

@sundancer A fare point.
It’s a terrible thing to loose one’s mind inside a space hulk. I can’t imagine what it’s like ?

Pledge – I am absolutely determined to make more time for my personal projects. Running a FLGS is great but hobby quickly becomes work and then there’s never enough time for passion projects, just stuff that *needs* doing.

Priming – I’m awful with a spray can! I don’t know what it is, but I can never do it evenly and get a nice result. I do all my priming and undercoating by hand.

Change – Gotta be the time thing again, in that I want more of it for playing ?

Hydration – I drink a LOT of tea and coffee every day, but I also  absentmindedly dip my paintbrush in my drinks rather than my water cup more often than can be good for me. So maybe my paint intake cancels out some of the good done by drinking lots? ?

@demonsub  but at least you’re safe from the bright evil daystar

@bexx I can imagine who running a FLGS can kill the passion at times…. you need more customers who do paint for you 😉

Sunday almost gone. And now? Bed? Video? Games?

Beer?

Playing some Diablo in bed ?

A new shiny for not showing my privates in public. A thought occured to me though… why does @avernos have a love/relation with my privates? Why is he watching? Is there a @warzan I should to reach out to protect my privates or is that merely a function of OTT until I come out and expose them? Lol

Uhh… my face hurts from laughing as I wrote that. More stuff to come from projects. The background build really is probably what gets at Gerry. A lot of effort in building cool stuff and half baked ideas I might get around to sometime.

Now what is this bat-tell reeport they spoke of? I have no clue about playing viking. When I get more stuff done for my Arabian Knights I’ll play. As is my next project is a Giftmas present to my friend I do a lot of painting for.

@demonsub I’ve watched the initial Let’s Play they put out and it seems like fun. A little bit rough not playing to get a handle on it but still something to go wild with on with mini modding.

@sundancer Sure you can have Space Hulk without the Imperium. I thought more that its a cheaper investment alternative to the GeeDubs without the looming next edition to come out where you need a whole new library to be able to play.

As far as fear of Giftmas.. pfft. Phase 2 of Giftmas is already in play and there’s no way of stopping it. Fear not, its only kinky once… or twice (you need to make sure your first experience wasn’t just a fluke). Just remember we’re still only on the cusp of September.

@limburger I think there are some aspects of your minis game that might’ve been worked on for Terminator Genesys. I just watched a video on it and it might be of interest.

@bexx Be sure to stay with acrylics and get the big mug labelled “Paint Water” that you build up a good layer of pigment along the lip with. Do that with oils and I’m afraid mineral spirits aren’t as forgiving

Space Station Zero. I tried watching the live stream but since they had such a terrible audio issue at the start I dropped of. It was either echo within echos or mic too far down. To be honest: all 4 hosts are not new to this. I would have expected way better though I also do know that tech-gremlins can pop up any time you change the smallest thing.

[limburger 21668xp 0]

ah … Terminator the miniatures game.
Sadly doomed to fail, because it was tied to the shitty part of the movie series.

And also … I think it just didn’t have enough factions to allow for long term fun. Even Starwars Legion got 4+ factions now.
Imagine if they had focused on the post-apoc part of the series and also introduced rival factions (are we seriously led to believe that all humans act as one? … 😉 ). Or what if the Terminators were allowed to be a neutral faction like the zombies in ‘Walking dead’ ?
All sorts of scenarios would be possible, including bits from the original two movies where one terminator hunts down a specific character …

Walking Dead also used the concept of different dice to represent characters with better skills.
Force on Force does as well.

I think the problem GW have is two-fold :
= they don’t really care (enough) about the mechanics to want to change (I suspect their designers do … )
= they are afraid of losing (too many) customers if they do (which is why they could risk AoS as WFB was dead and only then change 40k itself …)

I want your book’s your miniatures and your game’s dice.

@horationoseblower.

“Come with me if you want to roll dice”

Space Station Zero is interesting for the price one aspect that could be fun is the amount of single player content. I viewed it as a play your own adventure but with the party on the table top. It is important to point out this is just the second game they have released.

I do think being “famous youtubers” counts against in the sense the amount of hype that it seems to get. People saying oh this is going to top stargrave. Really have you played stargrave ? Far be from me to point out but Space Station Zero has two enemy types either a Robot or a Zombie. Playing through it once fine but the lack of enemy just does highligh how limited this system is. I would get into the whole D12 system it used and how rolling odd and even dice is such an odd choice. I would also get into the how certain better skills have you rolling more dice but that increases the chance of a double 1 and a crit fail.

I do like Vince and Adam content and they have both been very critical of rules systems from other companies. I think these early systems really shows the difference being critical of rules and trying to write your own complex compelling ruleset.

Because it is a pretty simple, no real frill fighting fantasy style game. Is it worth the money, I think so you get a fair amount of missions to play. Will anyone be playing it a month from now nope.

I would like to see them team up with Ash from GMG who has written some much better deeper games to give them a bit of a push in the right direction.

Hahahaha!!! I expose my privates to you all (at least what was a private project that I almost have done).

Vikings? In Saga!?!

One more mini for it and my pledge is complete

[sundancer 42900xp 0]

Expose-able parts and not on skyclad lad in sight! What is this madness!?

[sundancer 42900xp 0]

TIL: after going a lot of projects with @avernos on the uHH (at least one by @horati0nosebl0wer ) I really should go to bed. And not like… watch a 2 hour movie that had been brought up on stream…

dang I’m tired now.
