Oddbean new post about login | logout @ae54d699 Thanks! I'm using Vallejo Fluorescents here, but they're not the only ones out there (maybe the only ones targeted to hobby, though). They're actually a little challenging to use: their coverage is _terrible_, and it can be very difficult to control them because their consistency is more like phlegm than paint 🤢. Despite that, they're bright and vibrant, and it's fun to put them under a black light!
@13df7ed9 thank you for this feedback. When I started to #KS in 2013 I got all excited about #boardgames with #minis that would #GlowInTheDark , then later … a post raised ,( #KS delivery time can be long 😙) an eyebrow. “Who plays in the dark ? “ 😉 9 years later I started #painting my #J2S and still I wonder, in which circumstances could I use a blacklight while #boardgaming. It would set some atmosphere for sure!
@ae54d699 At NOVA Open, the big wargaming convention here in Washington, DC, they used to run a blacklight titan game: all the terrain and models were UV-reactive. I can't remember what it was called, and I don't know if they've done it since the pandemic, but it looked REALLY cool!
