Got a big convention to prep a bunch of games for. Also, got to prep for some other games in the coming months. SO MUCH GAMING!

FWIW, I do want to see better dungeon XP in WoW Forever. I like the idea of decreasing XP gains on the 2nd or 3rd instance run of the day to prevent farming, but still let you actually run dungeons if you're a tank.

Really loved Lanterns. I know people will hate the ending, but I think it was exactly what the show needed. Great piece of media all around.

Going back and forth, but I might do Prot warrior in Forever. Gosh, SO many options.

First 4 missions of Ace Combat 8 done. GOOD LORD, this game is _exactly_ what I wanted it to be so far. Cannot wait to dive more into the content.

I learned about this when Jamie and I played through Yakuza 0 and really liked the character played by Hitoshi Ozawa. Dude seems like a stand-up awesome person.

Done playing the Beta until they open it to level 30. But God, I am SO screwed when WoW Forever goes live.

Been catching up on a LOT of NarDec stuff. Chaos Odyssey work is all done (barring RUNNING the thing). Rotgrind planned through until _the End_. And "The Next Thing" just had the basic premise and background click, so I've been furiously taking notes.

Will say, I really enjoyed Ruins of Lordaeron as an addition to the game. Run it about 5 times? Last time, as a rogue I stealthed around as a Rogue to find the pickup quest item (the crest on a random wall). Felt like my class mattered and was helping.

OK! It was good to get back to recording NarDec stuff. Let the Chaos Odyssey continue!

Legendary is supposed to be the paragon of a certain thing, while others are more spread around. If it's a paragon, then sure, go at it and give it Legendary. Magus is a good example of this, it's very spread and really should be into all things at a high-level but not perfect.

One of the harder points in PF/SF2 class design is going "No. This class doesn't need legendary proficiency in a thing". It just _feels_ wrong, but realistically is a right choice in a lot of situations.

Without going into a ton of particulars, that isn't what happened at all. The Diamond sage is still ongoing (ENWorld had an article as recent as today, and stock for all companies is still being held).

A reminder that Lynne is an awesome editor, recently impacted by the Paizo layoffs, and could use some help in these trying times!

I'm experimenting with Japanese Highballs tonight. I got a Yamazaki 12 Year for my birthday, I've had the Hibiki as a fine neat drink, but I picked up a Toki today to try highballs with. Crisp and delicious.

Starfinder is Science-Fantasy as a setting, so we actually intentionally lean into the Fantasy. :)

Thurston Hillman @oncallgm.bsky.social · 30/08/2026
Not really. There's no "space" in them, as a bunch of things can occupy simultaneously. We'll show more soon.

Flip-mats going forward for starships have 15 zones to use :)

An undead starship :)

I can see several ways to make it work, for sure.

Thurston Hillman @oncallgm.bsky.social · 30/08/2026
People sure are excited by Starship content for Starfinder 2e and the upcoming Tech Core book. Sure would be a shame if I used my position to tease just a little bit of what to expect...

I started painting two more Clan Mechs. O NOES!

Finished up a Kodiak using some Turbo Dork and some Vallejo True Metallics. Really enjoying how a single accent color makes it pop.

Finished this last night, but once off work I added one last highlight. NOW it's done.

Pure anecdotal request: What Pathfinder ancestry do you think needs more representation in miniatures?

And work on Knight Armiger also continues.

Thurston Hillman @oncallgm.bsky.social · 23/08/2026
In this case, absolutely wanted to try some Turbo Dork and new Vallejo True Metallics. So mostly that plus a combo of what the faction colors were :)

Thurston Hillman @oncallgm.bsky.social · 22/08/2026
Battletech is so fucking cool. Trying out some Turbo Dork paints and new Vallejo True Metallics. Ghost Bears & Marik Militia.

Talked about more in the book, but generally same time as standard combat.
021
Thurston Hillman @oncallgm.bsky.social · 20/08/2026
Same time. Action to fly ship, action to cast spell on intruder. Or move and attack (just better make sure you get back to your battlestation!)
