We had a solid year. We were 7-2 in the regular season (we lost in overtime by one point to the conference champs). We qualified for the playoffs for the 13th year in a row. We moved up in classification and our new classification includes Joliet Catholic, Springfield Sacred Heart Griffin, Montini Catholic, etc. and is widely considered the most competitive playoff class in football in Illinois. We beat Washington High School (near Peoria) in the first round and lost a close second round game - ended up 8-3.

Thanks for asking!

PS - Kids still freak out when they discover the Head Football coach is a D&D geek in the off-season!

I bet. I've been working a bit on my best friend's kids who are all jocks, almost had one interested in borrowing the 3e PHB but he didn't. Though I did get them into better boardgames like Catan. You sent me a Bulldogs t-shirt a few years back due to the thread on Circvs Maximvs about the bulldogs season. I remember you had one kid who ran for like 300 yards a game but ended up going into wrestling in college or something like that.

Anyway congrats on another strong season and hopefully more success in the future!

Painted up a bunch of Reaper Bones to serve as Deep Ones in my D&D campaign. One of my players calls the miniatures the koi of terror. The figures were a lot of fun to paint, and since they were Bones, I really cranked them out:

Those look nice.

With the bones figures, what sort of prep did you need to do? I have a bunch of those from the first KS, but I haven't painted any yet. Did you still have to primer them?

pogre · Feb 17, 2015

I undercoated the figures with straight black paint. I have painted straight on bones in the past with some success. I am just accustomed to painting over black.

Picture of a Reaper dwarf I recently finished for a PC in my 5th edition campaign. Picture was taken at the gaming table with flash - so not the best, but you get the idea.

He is indeed super cool, thanks again Pogre

Great thread Pogre. You are a prolific painter at a high quality too. Any tips on removing "broccoli" bases from Reaper Bones miniatures? Are you just sawing them off in one pass with a fine tooth saw?
