 3 #Heroquest I managed to pick up for buttons nearly all done. Dwarf is the final #WIP. Getting him to this point was nice and simple really, might go over the grips on his axe with a wash to bring in more definition, and I’d like to build up the face a bit more too. They’ve been a nice distraction to muddle along with and keep my spirits up.

 Okay folks, from a game-design point of view, what is you favorite dice/card/token game mechanic?... 
 @c5bffeca I love the KillTeam Combat Mechanism. Both roll all your attack dice, then starting with the attacker declare a dice at a time an attack or a parry. Just find it a really satisfying mechanic. 

….but… I think my favourite is the d66 injury table in Mordheim. Just love the variety of misery you can inflict on yourself. Causes all sorts of swing in your narrative- the classic archer who loses an arm and can’t fire a bow anymore. 
 Updating a batch of hashtags there, signing off on some, pascal casing any that needed that. You know, cool shit. 

Dealing with #DadJokes and the bastarding thing would not save, and kept throwing an error… dear reader, having looked at the text more than I want to admit, cross reading it again and again, I realised I’d updated the hashtag to read #BadJokes by accident… 

More coffee needed I think.

 @e98d9fa0 couldn’t be kind enough on this one. Genuinely- just how good that mini looks and seeing it has made my day all the better - thanks for posting it. 😁

 @e98d9fa0 so completely deserved. I’m saying “fucking wow” out loud, repeatedly 🤣. There’s literally too many things to point out about how pitch perfect this is. My sir, enjoy that utterly deserved strut. Brilliant. Just completely brilliant. 
 @e98d9fa0, after you’re prompt, I rushed here, and boy was I not disappointed. Pure dead fucking wow.

 @f7721f1c @9c3277bc not seeing a peer reviewed source for this personal experience. Though, that personal experience of sneezing twice, one being louder - that totally checks.

 @9c3277bc I see the haters coming for you pal, just know - you’re damn right. Now, on an unrelated note, should we entrench this hill we’re on?

 @99b9ed46 I misspoke. The Welsh are a peculiar bunch of simple folk. It’s not that they don’t like, per-say, more that a parnsip *is* the party drug.

 @13df7ed9 the creative process in motion right here. 😂 
 Just checkin' in. How's you? 
 @2ef024dd we’ve finally figured out how to turn this thing on but we’re stuck in 1st gear, yet we kinda like it. 😂 
 Finally took at reorganising boxes, moving stuff off the top of a wardrobe and got it to somewhere accessible. Gutted the bulging Edinburg press (cupboard) of doom, and cleared a book shelf. All in the aim of putting stuff in such a way that I’m not overwhelmed at the idea of setting up a game. But still to do with the press, but generally feeling very contented.

 @99b9ed46 happiest birthday wishes to the recipient! Hope you realise the Warhammer.social instance has a very strict- posting cake is fine if there is cake for everyone. I look forward to my slice of cake.

 @4f27da98 oooh like it, leaning into the base colour of the plastic probably isn’t a bad shout. You’ve got me thinking about doing this for Risk 2210, bought some extra armies to bring it up to 6 players, have to spray an army to hit 6, but this might be the next level.

 @13df7ed9 so close with that nugget - I’d go ivory. For those sorta warbands you want that pop for me. 
 @13df7ed9 feeling the greenie flesh is going to mass up nicer, the ivory is beautiful but might be a bit much in bulk? Close call though.

 @50f56f6a there’s been a flurry of texts/discord messages/toots this morning the party is all in shock. You’re not alone 😂 
 Oh…. Oh no… so I’ve not gone down… but four of the party (inc an NPC) have gone down. They got up… but.. BIG BUT.. we’ve all agreed to use an idiotic injury table a la #Mordheim. Ember, @97d8b4a9, has rolled two Nat 1s on a D20. We’ve left things on a cliff hanger there with Ember, standing up, and keeling over…

Ember is the other construct that Snarltail has a connection to. Shit, as they say, is about to go down.

 @6fe784ab they’ve arrived… finally… important link re-established things are looking up… wait no, I’m now in the open, in front of a building I’ve set on fire, exposed and lying on my arse, raging having fallen from the sky (again) 🤣

 Here we go!! Some more of the party showed up tonight - the Calvary (who earlier deserted me) are on their way!!

This by no means is a good thing... 

#DND #DND5E #TTRPG #RPG 
 So the bastards haven’t arrived yet… 

The only creature that Snarltail has any connection too has just gone down and the psychic link Snarltail has to them has gone. Snarltail likes the voices in his head…. Snarltail is now barrelling towards the barracks he’s set on fire… in such a haste he’s propelling himself into the air to take damage to keep up his rage… 

Everything is fine… everything is totally fine…

 @99b9ed46 all this really sounds great pal! Delighted to hear you’re in a place you want to be back on your own terms with yourself. Only know you the length of this place being a place for us hobbyists, but can tell you’d be a fantastic educator. Big love to you chief 💚💚💚

 @e9fecefc reckon that that’s something to do all over or just there? Lots of flailing about throwing things at the wall (of muscle) here 😅 
 nostr:npub1um7v2ckyhhdla7j22z4k8tr7l5g70kpyhqsstxwnynrzwt8dgwzsht2mt3 Nice work, he looks great! 
 @1bfae31c cheers pal, it’s 100% an exercise in trail and error to figure stuff out on a miniature. 
 Okay, for my sanity I think I am going to need some hobbying today. Trawling LinkedIn is sending me spare in the head. Seen one bam talk about taking a serious unexplained health turn only to 48hrs later to see the same complete bam talking about needing to be aggressive and always have a win(them)-lose(whoever) relationship in their work. Swear, Mastodon breaks you when you realise that not all online places need to be inner rings of hell. 😂 
 Building up some steam here… can I keep all my swords please, really enjoy one shorting wolves? 🗡️🗡️🗡️

 @99b9ed46 headed north, had the wolf chasing me and whichever of the yokes was in there too. Was it one of the 👹? Punched his lights out… then found the sword 😂 that was the vibe of the dungeon, every step could have been 100 times easier. 😂😂 
 Getting a groove now after a terrible run. If you’re  like me, you can end up running a simple dungeon arse about head and make it very dicey. 😅

 @cf8a4c8b more than welcome- looking forward to whatever you’ve got planned next! 
 Hello. It’s Friday. Therefore #FiveforFriday.

@d2ff245c - Gorgeous ‘Hobby’ mag. Covers a wild range of topics.
@c1eb54ff - hot (🥁) #HorusHeresy on the go!
@ac84498a - Great spread of #Minis, recent #40k terrain you need to look out.
@13df7ed9 - Can’t believe I’ve not shared already! Recent stream of amazing #AoS #MiniPainting.
@cf8a4c8b - go forth, find the Titan. Oh my.

 Confession. This is 50% me wanting #Hobbyodon/#Hobbyverse to slowly grow and link up and 50% me knowing that if I lose track of the day someone will point it out to me here saving face in the offline arena. 
 Something very satisfying about the #NorthStarFigs #Miniatures. I boil it down to a bit of elegant simplicity. #Minis are beautiful, the figures within each range feel all belong together, but manage to be individual and carry the “right” amount of detail so they are still lovely to explore.

Think I’ll paint these up, look at an opposing 20-ish Dwarf force, and get a wee refresher/intro game in with someone.

 @e98d9fa0 beauty of a mini, you’re really doing it justice. That some solid wisdom there - started slapping an obnoxious green on a base and my mood instantly started to improve.
