Hey Friends! I created an account specifically for my #tabletoprpg content. Check out @rustedirongames.com if you are interested. I will be posting info about my new and updated Rusted Iron Games products over there. I will have more time now for working on RPG projects. #ttprg #pathfinderrpg #dnd

How many of the animations for this new contest will be lampchop/mousechop clips, do we think? #ironmouse #vtuber

The funniest part is the timing. They have a huge code push they need to deploy by 10/1, or pay a $1.1M licensing fee for a legacy system for another year. I have 3 large code changes waiting for user approval and planned for 9/12 deployment. I guess someone(?) will do those deployments now?

That is a great idea. I did tell my boss that my consulting fee would be $250/hour, with a 2-hour minimum, if they had questions. That is probably a bit high and has a punitive element, but there is literally no one else they could ask. That is just for answering questions, not for programming.

Thanks. I am trying to decide if I am upset about this development. A few nights ago, I was up at 2 am looking at my 401(k) retirement page, trying to figure out the earliest possible date I could retire. 🤷‍♀️

I guess I am free to make RPG Stuff and paint minis full-time now. If you want to check out my RPG stuff, mostly for Pathfinder, check out the Rusted Iron Games store page on DriveThruRPG! I have been publishing RPG supplements there since 2015, www.drivethrurpg.com/en/publisher...

Good news: I have been writing code in their system for 26 years. Now, no one there really understands how their ordering system works. My direct boss knows this, but it wasn't his decision. The IT executives don't realize they just shot themselves in the foot. They will soon, though! #goodnews

I have been playing a new zombie survival sim game called Survivor Log. I just finished my first game by surviving 100 days and getting the Evacuation ending. This game has a cool time-loop mechanic: if you die, you return to the beginning with improved skills. I won on loop #4, the last chance.

I also got these boxes for various games. The newish Caine warband for Cygnar Warmachine. Han & Luke on Tantauns for Star Wars Legion. Phoenix for Marvel Crisis Protocol. #miniatures #starwarslegion #marvelcrisisprotocol #phoenix #cygnar

I also got these boxes from Wargames Atlantic. I just like the Trench Missionaries and I will have a warband if I ever get the chance to try Trench Crusade. The other warriors will be used mostly for #kitbashing. #miniatures ##grimdark #historical #trenchcrusade #fantasy

I wanted to share some of the new miniatures I have picked up in the last month or so. Let's start off with some Kill Team releases. My local game store got cut to only 5 copies of Terror on Devlun, and I was 7th on the pre-order list, so I couldn't get a copy of that set. #miniatures #killteam

I upgraded my hobby room futon bench thingie with some extra pillows and foam padding on the metal frame. It's much more comfortable now! #hobbyroom #decorating

My hobby desk on Sunday, June 7th, 2026. I haven't had much time for hobby/miniatures activities for the past 2 weeks, as I have been very busy at work. ☹️ I have done some work on my modern city tiles and made some new acquisitions, which have just been piling up. #painttable #miniatures #hobby

Nice. I didn't think to check Noble Knight for "used bits"!

Wren's Hobby Room 🏳️‍⚧️ @wrenrig.bsky.social · 05/06/2026

Those are looking nice! You have some of the same heads I used. Have you had them for a while, or did you just get them recently? I can't remember where I originally got mine a long time ago, and I thought they were no longer available.

Wren's Hobby Room 🏳️‍⚧️ @wrenrig.bsky.social · 25/05/2026

A heavy dry brush and edge highlighting with silver to make the floor and stools look metallic. There are signs on the corner posts that I will paint, and the stool tops will be red. Then, probably just some details on the stove. The roof hides most of it, so I will focus on the roof and the sign.

110

Wren's Hobby Room 🏳️‍⚧️ @wrenrig.bsky.social · 25/05/2026

The text on the signs for anyone having trouble reading them: Pink: Live Cyborgs Dancing Red: Red Dragon Ramen Spicy! Then the same Google translated into Japanese. Blue: Guns! Ammo! Lasers! Duke's Armory has what you need! <.< >.> We also have DigiPet plushies!

Also, that truck is already huge for a delivery truck. The tires are the height of a 28 mm mini!

Wren's Hobby Room 🏳️‍⚧️ @wrenrig.bsky.social · 25/05/2026

I think I will probably do both eventually. I like the silly idea of pumping soda from a tanker truck into a restaurant, like you would pump gasoline into a gas station!

Wren's Hobby Room 🏳️‍⚧️ @wrenrig.bsky.social · 25/05/2026

Thanks, but it is mostly just how the 5 parsecs rules work. If you hit an opponent but don't wound them, they get a stun token and get pushed back an inch. At 3 stun tokens, they are removed anyway. I put 2 stun tokens on the last guy, so he got pushed back 2 inches and couldn't make it to the shop.

The crew heads back to the ship with the stolen noodle recipe. The good (?) news is that the Galactic Noodle Cabal, aka the GNC, is now a persistent patron for the crew. They will be able to get jobs stealing noodle recipes across the outer rim! #fiveparsecsfromhome #scifi #tabletopgames #sologaming

Now that I am done with my game, I can find more info. I got the STL for #3dprinting the LED billboard stands from the website of @saucermenstudios.com.au The billboards were their idea originally! LED nametags are easy to find on the interwebz.

Wren's Hobby Room 🏳️‍⚧️ @wrenrig.bsky.social · 25/05/2026

I am thinking of painting this truck as a Star⭐Soda delivery truck. So with the same metallic red and blue as on the vending machine. 🤔 Maybe I should get a tanker truck, though. #terrain #miniaturepainting #wip #scifi #tabletopgames.

Round 3: The crew takes down 2 more converted and keeps the 3rd pinned with heavy fire. The shop is secured and the crew wins the mission! Round 4: Krax blasts the last enemy with his shotgun at close range taking him out with 3 stun tokens. #fiveparsecsfromhome #scifi #tabletopgames #sologaming

230

Wren's Hobby Room 🏳️‍⚧️ @wrenrig.bsky.social · 25/05/2026

Round 2: The crew takes down 2 of the converted! Krax occupies the shop. If he can hold it one more turn with no enemies getting inside the crew will secure the recipe and win the mission. The converted are fearless and won't flee, but at least they are terrible shots! (+0) #fiveparsecsfromhome

Wren's Hobby Room 🏳️‍⚧️ @wrenrig.bsky.social · 25/05/2026

Round 1: Both sides advance and fire, but the crew has the advantage of longer ranged weapons this round. One converted is stunned. DD-209 blasts the shop owner with his infantry laser! I told him to use the stun setting, so it's probably fine. #fiveparsecsfromhome #scifi #tabletopgames

They are programmable LED name tags placed inside 3D printed stands.

*Turn* 12, Round 0: The crew approaches from the side with the apartments. The converted from the side with the big truck. After seizing the initiative, the crew gets a free move before round 1! #fiveparsecsfromhome #scifi #tabletopgames

Zim is being sneaky and starts on the roof of the apartments.

The converted are looking for subjects to turn into cyborgs and join their ranks.

The owner starts inside the noodle shop. This will make securing it harder!

Wren's Hobby Room 🏳️‍⚧️ @wrenrig.bsky.social · 25/05/2026

Five Parsecs From Home Round 12: The crew must secure the noodle shop for 2 turns to get the secret recipe! Simple - except the converted (Borg) attack to capture new subjects! They are "accompanied" by a unique freelancer. This will be the shop owner. #fiveparsecsfromhome #scifi #miniatures

I'm setting up the table for my next round of Five Parsecs From Home. I forgot I have only painted 4 of 16 of these city tiles. Oh well the board is looking nice anyway. #terrain #fiveparsecsfromhome #scifi #miniatures #tabletopgames

Wren's Hobby Room 🏳️‍⚧️ @wrenrig.bsky.social · 24/05/2026

I did some work on the sign for the Red Dragon noodle shop. The white and yellow will need at least one more coat for full coverage, but it is late and time for bed. I will work on this more tomorrow. #terrain #scifi #tabletopgames #fiveparsecsfromhome #wip #miniatures

Wren's Hobby Room 🏳️‍⚧️ @wrenrig.bsky.social · 24/05/2026

I sprayed the base colors on this noodle shop! I felt like the Red Dragon noodle shop definitely needed a red roof. Fun fact, this was the first thing I ever #3dprinted when I got my printer almost 2 years ago! #terrain #scifi #tabletopgames #fiveparsecsfromhome #wip #miniatures

Wren's Hobby Room 🏳️‍⚧️ @wrenrig.bsky.social · 24/05/2026

I also threw some paint on the pink foam base of this weird crane/buzzsaw thing. Now it won't stand out so badly on the table! 🤣 #miniaturepainting #terrain #scifi #tabletopgames #fiveparsecsfromhome

Wren's Hobby Room 🏳️‍⚧️ @wrenrig.bsky.social · 24/05/2026

I painted the details on these control panels as well. The pink on the warning lights will also glow under blacklight. #miniaturepainting #terrain #scifi #tabletopgames #fiveparsecsfromhome

1163

Wren's Hobby Room 🏳️‍⚧️ @wrenrig.bsky.social · 24/05/2026

I painted this wall of monitors. Painting neon green over black on the monitors came out better than I expected, especially since this green paint glows under blacklight! #miniaturepainting #terrain #scifi #tabletopgames #fiveparsecsfromhome

Wren's Hobby Room 🏳️‍⚧️ @wrenrig.bsky.social · 24/05/2026

I have been working on finishing up these pieces of sci-fi scatter terrain. The silver spray coating was showing through the base texture on a lot of these, so I cleaned that up. Some pieces, like the buildings, still need some details painted. #miniaturepainting #terrain #scifi #tabletopgames

Wren's Hobby Room 🏳️‍⚧️ @wrenrig.bsky.social · 24/05/2026

You knew what the answer was going to be, right? I did the setup for turn 12, and the good(?) news is that the crew has been hired by the Secret Organization known only as the Galactic Noodle Cabal to steal the artisan noodle recipe from a local shop. So I'm going to paint this noodle shop first.

Wren's Hobby Room 🏳️‍⚧️ @wrenrig.bsky.social · 24/05/2026

My hobby desk on Saturday, May 23rd, 2026. I have some pop-culture #scifi characters, a truck and some troopers for the PDF, 2 tyranids, and some Chaos Space Marines that need painting. But the real question is, "Should I paint something or play another game of Five Parsecs?" #miniaturepainting #wip

Post Battle Wrap-up: Thanks to Zim's skills as a Bot Technician, DD-209 escapes with just a few dents (no long-term effect). The absolute ass-kicking has convinced Clan Mar'Tuck they no longer want to be rivals with the crew! 😆 #fiveparsecsfromhome #scifi #tabletopgames #sologaming

Wren's Hobby Room 🏳️‍⚧️ @wrenrig.bsky.social · 23/05/2026

Round 2: 4 of the crew advance and gun down 2 colonists and stun the 3rd. The stunned colonist takes down DD-209 with a desperate shot before being finished off by sniper shots from Zim and Mylie! The crew successfully protects the ship from damage! #fiveparsecsomhome #scifi #tabletopgames

110

Wren's Hobby Room 🏳️‍⚧️ @wrenrig.bsky.social · 23/05/2026

Also in round 1: 3 K'Erin shots hit the crew, but all are deflected by their protective items (5+ or 6+ saves). Quite a lucky turn for the crew!

111

Wren's Hobby Room 🏳️‍⚧️ @wrenrig.bsky.social · 23/05/2026

Round 1: After seizing the initiative, Capt Lam rushes forward and stuns 2 K'Erin w/ a dazzle grenade. Mylie takes the stunned warrior out with DOUBLE critical hits from her plasma rifle! Zim takes down another and the other stunned enemy flees! #fiveparsecsfromhome #scifi #tabletopgames #sologaming
