    What paints do you use?

    Yes, yes you are. I often will do a coat of gloss then the coats of a really matt varnish like army painter anti-shine. Depends on if its a PC mini that will have a lot of grubby mitts on it.

    Are there any fantasy/medieval RPGs that take into account the effectiveness of different weapons against different armors?

    Most fantasy combat systems in RPG are a mish mash of weapons and armor from a thousand year period all dumped into a single point in time. Swords are prime despite falling out of favor to things like pole axes when plate armor took over. When you look at history when full plate armor took...

    What the heck is going on with the professional RPG industry in regards to Zak S?

    I know, I was in Frank's game that got cancelled and was planning on going to his Frankenparty. But calling someone rapey is way beyond lecherous or even harrassing behavior. Note: I don't know Frank personally, but throwing rape around casually is a bit much.

    What paints do you use?

    Never had that issue with Vallejo. I give them a a couple coats of a matt varnish, army painter mostly, and haven't had issues.

    How Did I Become a Grognard?

    I was the first person I know of to use minis and I started that with 3.0 in 2000. I had older players ask me if I was trying to make D&D into a board game. :lol:

    Rappan Athuk

    I'm currently running it under S&W and ran it under 3.5 in the past, well part of it. Its a killer dungeon, old school style, and some things are there just to challenge the players and may not make perfect sense in a logical world. I just tell them logic has no place in S&W. With a system...

    Do you roleplay in 1st or 3rd person - why?

    Mostly 3rd but the odd smattering of 1st. Why? We aren't trying for an acting session and are just more comfortable that way.

    Where Have All the Gamers Gone?

    Too many avoid the hard and meaningful options and embrace the painless and meaningless. I know I did for a long time, burying myself in frivolous BS and avoiding responsibility. Can't get time back unfortunately.

    [OT] Sleep Apnea, Limes, Folic Acid and Weight Loss

    I've been doing low carb/atkins/keto for 8 months or so, off and on and I've went from 250+ to 185, blood pressure went from needs meds to perfect, and my bloodwork is looking great. Only diet that has ever really worked for me. Now I'm at the point where I'm not hardcore keto but I just don't...

    Guns in D&D - A Hot Take

    I love guns and I love D&D but I hate mixing them, especially with D&D abstract HP mechanics which are quite honestly not very good at modeling the effects of deadly weapons past L1. Though that holds for swords and bows so it shouldn't bother me more with guns.

    What paints do you use?

    Outside of washes and inks its been entirely Vallejo model and air color for awhile. For washes I use GW and Army Painter. Love the air color metals for brush on work. but I'm going to get an air brush this spring I think. I have a self made wet palette and its good but as often I just put...

    D&D 5E (2014) JC Tweets: How Close to official rulings do you consider them to be?

    Since I'm not on Twitter I see them as much as I hear the ramblings of a street bum so you can guess my choice.

    The Battle Continues Over "Childish Things"

    There is a difference between good natured joking and ribbing and the kind of spiteful, smug crap that Maher spits out on a weekly basis. I guess many don't give him the benefit of the doubt.
