Jason’s maps are beautiful and brilliant, and this will make a fine addition to anyone’s games library.

1/4 Time for a giveaway! I broke one of my Snake Priestess minis, so I rebased her & painted her up as a fallen statue. Suitable for use as a terrain piece or objective marker, or maybe there’s a hidden mystery or treasure there! Or she can just sit on your shelf! I’ll do the giveaway thusly:

Had a dream about giant crocodiles that shed their whole skins like snakes as they grew, and an old woman who collected the skins and rolled them into bolts like cloth. … I’m not sure what I’m gonna use that for, but it’s gonna go into something I write somewhere.

These are starting to make their way out into the world, so I’ll post about it! The Ophidian Menace boxed set - 6 metal minis, 1 large resin piece, a short Shadowdark adventure on a two-sheet scroll rolled up tight so it fits in the box! $100 + shipping - I’ve got two left! Hit me up directly.

For an account that I set up mainly to talk about and promote my own stuff, I don’t think I talk about my own miniatures here often enough. So, here’s an upcoming new Forge of Ice figure sculpted by Leandro Ventic that’s about to hit my painting table - Katja Giantslayer.

Today I made my semi-annual drive up to the 12-mile summit, just to enjoy the view & eat a sandwich. It’s still a nice drive, but sadly the cloud cover & rain meant that there was near-zero visibility, so, I took this pic, ate my sandwich, and went home. Still not a bad way to spend an afternoon.

This old tweet is evergreen, and I was recently introduced to the very useful term, ‘bean soup’. I’m still always slightly flabbergasted when I encounter examples in the wild. In what universe is “Don’t play with people who are aggressively asshole-ish” an idealized fictional scenario?

This is an amazing joke, but, also, I have to admit that I have some intense morbid curiosity about the book. If I see it on the shelf in a store, I might stop to read a few paragraphs, if only to experience The Horrors firsthand.

And in Alaskan news, it just barely dipped below freezing last night, so today I’m picking the last of the currants.

In my opinion, the big Mothership boxed set is one of the top four or five TTRPG products I’ve ever encountered in my whole life. It’s even cooler when you’ve got @atomicpaul.bsky.social running the game and drawing player portraits for everyone!

Blecch. Con crud. Haven’t had this in a few years. I suppose with all the traveling I’ve been doing this summer, it was inevitable that I’d catch something eventually. I think it’ll be laying low for a few days.

Why are there action scenes in movies? They don't move the movie along at all it just makes people uncomfortable. We could just skip to the after and show who's dead and stuff if we have to - get back to plot because exposition is the only thing that matters. Plot is king. Plot is god. Plot is all.

An illustration for me by @atomicpaul.bsky.social ! This is “Bloody” Gor-Chak, Ape-Man assassin; one of the pregenerated characters I use in my Azor games at cons & other events. Eventually I’ll have character art done for all of them, then, minis sculpted. Someday!

Whoof. After YEARS of ads (& seeing that a couple dozen ppl I know personally are on there) I dipped my toe into Threads. It reminds me of early Twitter mixed with a dash of the bad faith & aggressive dickery of Tumblr. Also I almost immediately fell for an engagement bait post (dammit). Bleh :/

Hot DAMN. A quick search for ‘old Warhammer 40K round space cactuses’ turned up some INCREDIBLY cool modern takes on the design. I am inspired!

Literally dusting off & re-basing some Space Orks that I first painted waaay back in high school (1990ish). I’m surprised at how excited I am to paint these guys - the sculpts have SO MUCH character. I think I’m even going to mostly preserve my teenage color choices, they’ll be a fun motley unit.

I actually think the trillionaire saying his AI tool will remake a movie without the Black and trans actors in it should be a bigger story because it’s a perfect example of why the ruling class wants AI to succeed: so they can remake reality without those they deem undesirable - every nazi’s dream.

I’m running a little Rogue Trader skirmish game at Tfest in a few weeks, so I figured I’d paint up this Water Seller & his bodyguards for the scenario. I’m not sure how ambitious I’ll get with his tattoos…

Some of the names on that list are more historically interesting than anything else these days, IMO. But for others, it’s a damn shame that they’ve fallen out of the popular consciousness. The Dying Earth books are wonderful. ‘Worlds of Jack Vance’ may be my favorite short story collection ever.
