Solo September starting out with “The Broken Empires” by Trevor Devall of “Me, Myself, and Die”. It is intended as a multi-player RPG but has rules/tools for solo play. So far my PCs are exploring catacombs for an ancient artifact. thebrokenempiresrpg.com #SoloSeptember #RPGs #TheBrokenEmpires

I love Mappa Mundi! Definitely on my list for Solo September.

This is such a novel idea and the first three links were quite intriguing. I’m quite looking forward to listening to this next set.

Another great hobby delivery from @sabotag3d.bsky.social. Some more morale trackers for Chain of Command and my new AWI Sharp Practice project. They look so nice painted it seemed a shame to keep them in a drawer when not in use. #wargaming

Based on my observations of social media behavior - it requires an obsessive hyperfocus on the number of rivets a given tank should have, and an equally obsessive need to tell everyone else how their tank is rubbish because it doesn’t have enough rivets on it. Bonus if you also mention muddy treads.

At this stage of the war neither side had full naval or air superiority and both were at the end of very long supply chains. There was a reluctance to risk the American fleet there around the clock so they’d dash in and resupply during the day then zip off at night. And vice versa for Japanese. 2/2

The Japanese held the upper northwest portion of the island which was closest to their main base in the area at Rabaul. And they flew air sorties out non-stop to harass the Americans. Ships dropping mines would have been very vulnearable in the day and it’s risky to do at night. 1/2

The more I read about the Guadalcanal campaign the more impressed I am with the logistical challenges both sides faced just to get troops there and supplied let alone conduct any combat operations.

I have always used WW1 and WW2 but am slowly being converted to the FWW and SWW nomenclature given how many UK-based historians I follow. I’ve already made the transition from American Revolution to AWI. So there is hope for converting Americans as well.

I really enjoy everything about Mappa Mundi and am incredibly excited that they are developing further content for it. If you enjoy RPGs it is well worth checking out.

Another fantastic episode of “Tale of the Manticore”. I’ve been on the edge of my seat these last half dozen episodes - these combats have been intense! I’m really invested in / care about these characters. Especially Flicker! If you’ve not already, check it out! @taleofthemanticore.bsky.social

Getting started with some American militia for a new 20 mm AWI-themed Sharp Practice project. Eventually going to play through the Swamp Fox campaign but first need to finish researching uniform color schemes. #spreadthelard #sharppractice #wargaming

Sundered Isles, the seafaring supplement for Ironsworn: Starforged, is nearly out of stock and out of print. A few copies left at the Modiphius US shop. modiphius.us/collections/... It's a banger of a Starforged supplement, but the real standout is the system-agnostic generators and random tables.

I finally finished painting my first two American sailing ships: a brig and a frigate. Now on to rigging. Ships are from Warlord’s Black Seas line.

First 4 ships from @warlordgames.com Warlord Games Black Seas range partially assembled: 2 frigates and 2 brigs. Hoping to at least get them painted and sails on over the long weekend. Rigging may take a bit longer. Then another frigate and 6 brigs to go…

I’ve been distracted by US Old West and Hastings-era, but if I really had to stick with one I’d stay with WW2. Others catch my attention now and then but WW2 is the default.

Super excited about my newest haul from @sabotag3d.bsky.social! Ordered weekend of Salute, they were posted immediately after and arrived here in US in about a week. Lots of painting to do, but should set me up for What A Cowboy and Chain of Command. Plan to display the CoC morale tokens thus.

Generally inexpensive - around $20 USD per box. If you can find the specific box you want. There’s a big range of manufacturers and factions - certainly for WW2. Quality is hit or miss. Most take paint well. Not build what you want although you can modify sometimes - depends on the pose.

Looks like a great session. I play mostly solo and have several other TFL games. I’ve wondered how well S&H would play solo given the hidden card information and decision to invoke a test. Do you have any recommendations on that?

Scott Miller @millersw1.bsky.social · 03/03/2026
Goodness - hope that resolves well soon! I once went in for a lab blood draw. The technician jabbed me and then said “Oops”. Not reassuring. She then noticed I had turned pale and said I should have told her I didn’t do well with blood draws. I said that hearing “oops” was the issue.

I’ve heard people predict we could build a giant 3D printer to the moon and it would assemble a research facility by itself from moon rocks. I can’t get mine to print a toy boat Benchy, but sure, let’s plan on that working out.

As if painting stripes on shields wasn’t hard enough, you’ve got to worry about horse caparisons too? I’ll stick with WW2 and scifi… But it does look quite impressive.

Sounds / looks interesting. Given how some aspects of horror can be pretty disturbing it’s cool to see that they built in the X card safety mechanic.

First hobby painting project of the year is complete: my team of Chroniclers for Mappa Mundi. Still need to make a plinth and explore different light color / brightness combinations, but already much better than my old mini photo setup. Background is one of Handiwork’s backdrop books. #jhbackdrop
Several painted 28 mm scale miniatures with rolling hills in the background.
