My new dice for playing Inquisitor - custom 3D printed, with a detailed relief of the thrice-barred Inquisition "I". Also, the old official GW Inquisitor D6s and some the Conclave did many years back (the red set and black set respectively). #warcom #warmongers #warhammer #wh40k
A photograph of multiple dice for the Inquisitor game, all with the thrice-barred I-icon of the Inquisition on the ones side.

GW's original official dice in red pearl, some black dice with a red logo done by The Conclave forum, and several black dice with a full-colour  3D-printed relief.

People in creative fields who use AI to do stuff in other creative fields (example: writers using AI to make book covers instead of hiring artists) really just think their creative field is the only valid one. They don't respect other creative works, and likely only see themselves as valid.

This is a bit late, but one of the players in my WH40k roleplay group reminded me of the story of how I met John Blanche, which I should really share again because it says a lot about him... So, at an Ammobunker forum meet-up in 2012 at WHW, John had been invited as a special guest. 1/X

One thing AI has revealed is that there are a whole lot of people who have neither interesting ideas nor the talent to express them, and apparently not even any real will or desire to cultvate either of these things… but still for some reason desperately want to be regarded as artists.

I'm supposed to post about wargaming once in a while, so I've started putting together a frame for a gaming table that can be folded down for transport/storage. It's not going to be freestanding, but should be able to sit on any other (sturdy) table and turn it into a 6x4' gaming surface.

She is vigorously wielding a glowing lightsaber prop, with her braided hair and tail flying wildly. She is probably making "vwom vwom" noises.

I don't really agree with the analysis or conclusions (I don't think Inquisitor is a game served well by a points system, for example) and I've left a response with some of my thoughts, but dialogue and discourse around Inquisitor is a good thing. www.youtube.com/watch?v=AIlW...

For eff's-sake, "third spaces" are not a viable option. You cannot expect every shopping centre, cafe, 13thC pub, park toilet, etc to remodel for a insane solution to an non-existent problem. The only concievable outcome of this would be nearly everywhere having to declare their toilets unisex.

If you see this, post a tank. I can only find a small version of the WHW photo (clearly old, I don't think their Rhino hasn't been parked in that spot for years), but I still like the stupid perspective trickery of the three different scales. #Nerdlings #wargaming #warhammercommunity

The perspective has been set up to try to make a 28mm scale, 54mm scale and the full-size Rhino look like they're all part of the same mechanised advance across the car park.Photograph of a (rather dusty) 28mm scale Rhino on a desk alongside a scratchbuilt 54mm Razorback and Sentinel.

QTP with powerful women. (I don't post a lot of my renders here, because I'm not sure if the people who've followed me for my very occasional wargaming posts have any interest in the other weirdness that leaks out of my brain, but I'm going to jump on this post chain).
A 3D render that on the surface appears to be a group of fantasy adventurers fighting a horde of skeletons in a village of wooden buildings. The adventurers are made up of a female centaur barbarian in a chainmail bikini, succubus artificer in a long coat and a minotaur wizard in a slightly revealing robe.

On closer inspection, the centaur barbarian is wearing modern frameless spectacles and rubber soled shoes, the succubus is using a nerf gun, and the "skeletons" are themselves other mythological races (including a dwarf, gorgon, orc and another centaur) wearing skeleton masks and printed spandex suits, and wielding dull plastic swords.

A number of Nerf darts and mini footballs are strewn about the floor, and a 747 is vaguely visible in the sky behind.
