    What is/are your most recent TTRPG purchase(s)?

    I finally got the physical books for Draw Steel today, which I ordered from my FNSLGS a few months ago. I also got emails telling me there's a minis kickstarter/gamefound heading my way, as well as another thing which I'm not sure what it is but is likely to be the Han Cluster for Savage Worlds...

    What is/are your most recent TTRPG purchase(s)?

    Obviously, your chances of rolling a 2 are significantly lower on 3d4. And even ignoring that, 3d4 would have a much lower chance of rolling the extreme values. On 2d6, the chances of a 2 or a 12 are 1 in 36 each. On 3d4, the chances of a 3 or a 12 are 1 in 64 each.

    D&D 5E (2024) Unconfirmed Dark Sun World Book

    Same reason most people play good guys in solo computer games, at least as their main playthrough. The fantasy of Superman is not having the power to move mountains. The fantasy is in having that power and using it to do good. "Desert" is a broad description. Dark Sun, much like the real world...

    Painting minis?

    For regular minis: yeah. When I'm prepping a new batch of minis, I usually put them in a small bowl of lukewarm water with a bit of dish soap in it. I then clean them with a firm toothbrush, to make sure any mold release stuff gets cleaned off. Then they get to air dry until the next day. I'm...

    Painting minis?

    I have magnifying glasses with illumination that I got from Green Stuff World (via Alphaspel, probably) and it's good for magnification, not so good for light. But I have a lot of other lighting at my painting station so it works out fine. A cheaper option would be getting a pair of reasonably...

    Tell your overdue Kickstarter story

    This appears to be coming up on an, if not happy, at least somewhat satisfactory ending. In late 2024, the rights to Fantasy Series 1 and 2 were acquired by a different company, Wildspire Miniatures. We original backers got access to STLs of the various miniatures, and were offered sweetheart...

    Let's Talk About Our Year In TTRPGs

    My main group started out the year finishing off an arc in another player's time-jumping GURPS game, and starting in February we've been playing Savage Worlds in the East Texas University setting for almost the whole year. Coincidentally, we're also coming up on one year of in-game time – we...

    Painting minis?

    The thing is that Bones Black isn't actually, well, black. It's grey. So it can be hard to tell the difference between Bones Black and what I think they're calling Bonesium 2.0. But both are still PVC-based (as opposed to many other plastic minis which are polystyrene-based) and thus, I believe...

    Painting minis?

    Here's how I understand it: "Bones" is a fairly wide category that contains at least five types of plastic: Original white Bones. These are fairly "rubbery" and often have not-so-great detail. These aren't made anymore, but there are large numbers in circulation and in stock. Revised Bones...

    Diamond Distributors Asks Bankruptcy Court For Ownership of Publishers' Consignment Inventory [UPDATED]

    I mostly found out because Youtube put the RfC video in front of me which made me remember "Oh, I wonder what else has happened in that fusterbleep."

    Diamond Distributors Asks Bankruptcy Court For Ownership of Publishers' Consignment Inventory [UPDATED]

    Seems there have been some developments. Graphic Policy has been keeping up with things, which has mostly been a bunch of legal motions tossed back and forth... but now Diamond has changed from Chapter 11 bankruptcy ("Get off our back while we sort things out and try to fix things") to Chapter 7...
