Tonight's Star Wars game involved escaping from a Star Destroyer the crew had hijacked before it crashed into another Star Destroyer. I created a deck of random events which filled up a progress clock. The players decided to make it a very colourful clock as they filled it in!

In the background is the Edge of the Empire core book. On it are some paper cards with random events on and a circle with eight equal segments. Six of the segments have been filled in in bright colours

Also, what the hell is going on with the elvish subtitles?!?

Some more finished models from last night. Just need basing.

A 32mm scale model of a fantasy version of Darth Vader. The model has plate armour with a great sword in its left hand (!). It has a long cloak and its right hand is holding a flame. The model is painted in black and metal. The sword and flame are shaded from white, through yellow and orange, to red. I considered trying to show the light of the flames on the cloak but I don't think I have the skill for that right now.

A 32mm scale model of a warrior in plate armour with their sword in their right hand with the blade resting on their right shoulder. The model has a scarf around their neck and a pendant. The scarf is painted red, the pendant is gold.

A 32mm scale model of a humanoid frog in plate armour carrying a two handed hammer. The armour is painted in silvered metal with a gold pauldron shaped like a fish head. The head of the hammer is a gold painted fish. The frog is painted green with yellow highlights.

A breakfast tale in three photos.

Last night's painting effort: medieval snow trooper from @westfaliaminis.bsky.social

32mm model of a medieval soldier in breastplate and with chainmail mask, carrying a spear.

The spear is dark brown with a silver head, boots and belt are black.

Going through my sketch book for the first time since I last did #ludumdare almost ten years ago and found this little guy

A pencil drawing of a strange creature that is mostly eye. It has a large head dominated by the eye with hunched shoulders for a body. No limbs but apears to be leaving a slime trail. Has a beak for a mouth and a worried expression.

First three minis freshly painted. Part way through I was worried that I'd lost any skill I had after the five year hiatus but I'm really pleased with how these have turned out.

A 28mm model from the Baron's War range from Footsore. Model is of a bishop-knight in chainmail, with a surcoat and great helm with bishops cap on top. Armed with a mace and carrying a shield. The model's surcoat is red with gold trim and a blue belt. The shield is painted with red and white diagonal stripes.

A 28mm model of a woman warrior wearing chainmail and armed with a sword and shield. She is wearing a dress under her armour and cloak over the top. Her hair is blowing in the wind. The model is painted with a blue dress and black cloak. Her hair is blond.

A 28mm model of a drune lord from the Slaine comic. The model is of a kneeling figure in a robe with a hood and fur cloak. The model is reaching for something and has a skeletal face masked and partly hidden beneath the hood. The hood is painted brown, the robe green and the fur cloak black. A black handled dagger in a red scabbard is at the model's side. The skin of the model's arm is pale with a hint of green.

I haven't painted any minis in *years* and I've had some which are finished and gathering dust which just need basing. I've got loads of flowers which I deemed too precious for most models but now everyone is getting flowers. Including Death Dealer

Six painted miniatures with flowers on their bases. Including Nest and Medb from the short-lived Slaine wargame, some ancient Greeks from Crocodile Games, Death Dealer and a horned warrior

Last night I went to Merlin's Cafe Bar in Birmingham to see the amazing @jasonstoryteller.bsky.social perform Slaine: the Horned God. Fantastic horror themed venue and fantastic experience

A statue of a ghoul, mouth open with long snarling teeth, looking straight at the camera. The scene is lit with a red light making the figure much more terrifying!

A skeleton, some eight feet tall, standing in front of a window with arms raised and looming over the photographer. The scene is lit with a red light from the bottom left fading to pink in the top right and blue from the window, giving the skeleton an eerie look with a blue outline on the top of its bones.

This is Daryl and Rik. Daryl is judging you on your lack of motivation but prepared to offer leniency if treats are involved. Rik is ready to inspect your writing when complete

This has been on my reading pile for a while and I finally read it this morning. The Fables of Erlking Wood by Juni Ba and Aditya Bidikar is stunning and I shed a tear in the middle of it. Well worth a read. Published by @goatsflyingpress.com

The Fables of Erlking Wood by Juni Ba and Aditya Bidikar. The cover is blue and gold, featuring a top panel in blue with the title in white and a golden wood in the bottom panel. Hidden amongst the trees are a bear and a fox. In the foreground is a girl wearing an orange jacket and grey skirt. She is black of hair and carries an orange basket on her back. There are two circular panels in the bottom left and right corners with a blue background. The left panel is a golden dagger with jagged edges, almost like a lightning bolt and a red hilt. In the right panel is a golden helmet with a red crest.

They came back this morning and have done a much better job. Their boss told me it'd take a day and I think it's really a day and a half and he was trying to push them. It's not perfect and my lunch break will be spent finishing it but it's a huge improvement on yesterday
