Among the gigantic stack of D&D books and modules I inherited from my godfather, I found what I was hoping for! One of his character sheets! You better believe Oz the Rainbow Bard has adventures in him yet. 🥲

For legal reasons, this is a joke.

Anthony Bourdain in black and white. In front of him is a quote attributed to him that is normally about Cambodia and Kissinger, but it's been edited to say, "Once you've read Apocalypse World, you'll never stop wanting to beat Dungeon World to death with your bare hands."

Found some Ral Partha in the wild. Can’t wait to paint them!

Two Ral Partha metal miniatures—wind/air elementals—in really beat up old packaging with disintegrated foam cushioning.

The same miniatures out of the packaging. They look like buff old bald guys with tornadoes for legs. They’re holding their hands up to their mouths as if to direct their wind breath forward.

Got a chance to play Gloom for the first time since high school—it’s still one of my favorites. I think it’s the first game that made me question whether there even needs to be distinctions between RPGs and other types of tabletop games.

I’m giving up on the oil painting experiments for now. This one was just acrylic and it turned out way better than any I used oil on. The sword was my first time trying a non metallic metal effect.

Is there no video game equivalent to the OSR blogosphere? I’m genuinely surprised I wasn’t able to find a single obsessively detailed article comparing and contrasting the way armor works in multiple major JRPG series. I thought that would be page one.

I think this is the paint scheme I’ll go with for the warband. Acrylic paint base coat, oil wash, acrylic highlights.
