Sergio Calvos work is truly inspirational. The creativity within his approach is levels above the rest of the playing field. And it’s captured in a way that is approachable, which is amazing because you can’t just sit down and achieve this level of work without massive practice. #minipainting

Mr. O’Neal is 100% on the money here. TT is horribly predatory and uses interfaces that are designed to create addiction. Especially with those with existing low-attention spans. IE children and those that don’t know any better. Appreciate you… thanks for this @johnnyoneal.bsky.social

Crossbows & Catapults was one of the BEST as an 11yo kid. I’ll never forget the year I got this for Xmas, with a JVC boombox, Van Halen II and Judas Priests British Steel. Just the best. Any other fans out there?

Tainted Grail: Fall of Avalon Here we go man!! Any fans out there? All the reviews have lowered the bar a bit for me, but I don’t have much RPG experience to have many expectations. This is the first big foray into that world. I can’t wait! Really curious about this combat system.

This mini painting thing has been a BLAST! To see how much I’ve improved with just 5-6 models is pretty cool. Much more relaxing than I expected. It’s a very zen-like experience. Any advice on making things less blotchy/clumpy looking? All suggestions welcome :) #miniaturepainting #miniatures

It would be so VERY INCREDIBLY COOL to see something like this done for #Origins for 2025. A 50th Anniversary dungeon style map would be an incredibly cool keepsake poster. I’d buy that in a heartbeat. Huge potential here imo. Would that be at all possible @jogbrogzin.bsky.social ?

An excellent and underrated euro game. Lightweight and easy to jump into. A little puzzly, a little territory-control-ish. I’ve played this a handful of times and have no intention of trading this out anytime soon.
