*God's Teeth* is over after almost 45 hours of play, some dozens of sanity points dropped, 5 bonds fractured, a player lost to marriage, 2 Jehovah's Witnesses ruses, an NFL game taken in, 1 Nazi pedophile groin-shot, and a concluding suicidal victory. #deltagreen @jmakula87.bsky.social

One last look inside Tippett Studio. The legendary f/x house is closing, and its models, props & precious artifacts are being sold off. I spent a day inside the workshop, surrounded by Star Wars, RoboCop, Jurassic Park & decades of handmade movie magic. www.popculturalprecursors.com/p/one-last-l...

I found my first D&D character mini from the early 80's. Lemmy the Lost, he was a magic user I used for a couple of games but not a campaign. Throughout the 80's he made guest appearances in games that I gm'd 🙂 #D&D #rpg #nerdlings #tabletopgames #tabletopgaming #AD&D

Primed and drybrushed a figure--so I could see the details to paint them--and it looked so cool, I stopped there and did 3 more minis. Looks like a #shadowdark party: T, MU, F, C. Will probably use them for pick-up games where players know they want a particular class. #OSR #miniaturepainting
