I don't think we are. I don't believe "tech makes everything worse, not better" is a major theme of the genre.

It's not just a consequence of the technology though, it's how the rulers of Mega City One decided to allocate resources. They could find meaningful work for these people, including maybe repairing the environmental damage done in the Badlands, but they choose not to. I can't think of any...

Is it though? In books like Gibson's Sprawl trilogy as well as Walter Jon Williams' Hardwired, comics like Judge Dredd, and movies like Blade Runner, it isn't the tech itself making people miserable. If people are miserable it was because they live under a system where they are dehumanized...

Kerensky would be proud! Congratulations.

I do encourage people to make sure they save some of their older miniatures even if they think they're terrible.

Let's talk for a moment about the Colorful Tide. (Wow! Look at how much darker that bunker looks in this photo.) A lot of miniature painters will often joke about their piles of shame. i.e. The unpainted miniatures that languish in their collections, sometimes for years, even as they...

I honestly thought this thread was about @Snarf Zagyg and I can't tell you how disappointed I am.

I think very often we're our own worst critic. I sometimes find myself admiring someone else's miniature and thinking how I'd consider one aspect to be a flaw had I been the one to paint it. Or other times I'll look at a real life object, like the door to a building, and think how unnatural...

I don't know if we're having some sort of miscommunication here. The example I used was a Bladerunner supplement where you play a replicant or a human on the lam, i.e. members of the replicant resistance, which would be something both different from and in alignment with the core materials of...

And the final product. I’m not keen on the pile of leaves on the roof, but that’s life.

If you purchased a new supplement for a specific game you'd likely expect it to align with the core rulebook, right? For example you'd expect a supplement for Bladerunner to have a similar noir atmosphere rather than turning into a dumb action movie. Don't get me wrong, dumb action movies are...

"Oh! I'm afraid the deflector shield will be quite operational when your friends arrive." -- Palpatine We are inching ever closer to completion. One oddity I can't help but notice is how much brighter the model is in the photo when compared to the naked eye. If I didn't know any better I'd...

I'm only supposed to talk like a pirate without acting like a pirate? I'm going to have a heck of a time explaining all this blood to my coworkers.

I applied some thin layers of Army Painter Uniform Grey with my airbrush. You can see some of the green showing through which is what I wanted. I sponged on some Ash Grey and then sprayed a 50/50 mix of Burnt Sienna with thinner because buildings close to the ground get dirty. I'm going to...
