Dang. I hope all is well!

I should make it down by one or shortly thereafter. If you all aren’t at Dark Tower then, leave a trail of breadcrumbs! 

I sense a disturbance in Cascadia .... what is this? The weaklings from the south send an emissary to treat with their brutal overlords from the north? Very well. I know of this ... Yarb. 

Ill be coming off of a long jag of visiting relatives, but I can escape on the 7th! Afternoon games, beer, and dinner sound good? What are you playing these days? I’m happy to do board games if it means including more folks, but I’m also up for just about any mini game you could imagine. It’ll be great to see you!

Obviously, the fault is Emo Sherbert's, for an untimely self-sacrifice. should have seen that coming!

Spent some time hunting down old fonts and digging up old files. This should work for those hunting logos: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1G7TXEfdme6cpu5Ep1I1WghOcpHDLHBnp Can't find a plain hamster, but I'll try to recreate it. FWIW, Inkscape is a free vector graphics program in which all of those .svg files were created.

Sorry you won’t be able to make it Bobby. I was looking forward to seeing you!

the only expansion I’ve played with is Prelude. I share Bobby's sentiment. It’s wonderful!

I think Brendan and Brad are playing Twillight Struggle.

I’m in! I’m terrible at the game, but I love it. Mostly I toss asteroids at people.  I can be down between 6 and 6:30.

Blech. This whole business kind of makes me sick. I’m still not clear on the details of what happened. Since I haven’t heard Corey’s side of things, I have to go with what I’ve heard. Apologies if I’m making assumptions here. It sounds like Corey was accidentally left on a signatory to the Warhamster WECU account, and WECU policies changed to make it easier for signatories to access money in group accounts. Then Corey emptied out the bank account to the tune of close to $400 to commission artwork and print a banner and stickers? It sounds like there wasn’t any communication with others about whether it was OK to do this, but I’m not sure. I don’t know if it was Corey’s decision alone or Kevin and Corey’s decision.

I totally get the desire to spend club funds on tournament swag. In the past, teams have usually footed their own bill for swag, but whatever. The way this happened (the way it seems to have happened?) feels really gross. Those funds were generated by individuals who gave generously of their time and energy to try and contribute to the Bellingham wargaming community. Kevin, I hear your disillusionment (and assume that it’s echoed by Corey?), but I don’t think any amount of dissatisfaction entitles you to those funds. Certainly not without putting it forward to others before withdrawing the money. The fact that Corey (Kevin?) feels entitled to unilaterally (bilaterally?) take that money is deeply disturbing to me.

If we were looking for a way to spend club funds, there are a lot more things I’d prefer to spend them on. There have been plenty of regular Warhamster-led events over the past couple of years that would deserve financial support. Sherbert’s old Endless Highways campaign. Koyote’s TNT and Mordheim campaigns. Joey’s Infinity escalation league. I reckon some extra funds for terrain, swag, giveaways, or the like for those events would be appreciated, and would benefit the larger Bellingham gaming community.

Corey and Kevin, the right thing to do here would be to return the money. If you agree that you did the wrong thing, make it right. In regards to a path forward, what Koyote posted as I typed this makes a lot of sense to me.

Thanks, all! It's been really fun to learn to cast resin, find new ways to scratch my creative itch, and run a small business. While it's something I might come back to in the future, it's a good time to wrap it up.

I was thinking about getting some last night, but decided I needed sleep first. It's very sold out now.

Congrats!

Thanks! That did go pretty quickly! 

First off, thanks so much to all of the customers of Worldsmith Industries. It has been an absolute joy to have had the opportunity to create and cast resin terrain for all of you over the past 4 years.

Awesome article about a non-existent band: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/resources/idt-sh/jered_threatin

Noooooo!!!!! Events conspire, I won’t be out tonight. You live for another week, witches!

I’m still here! Need to get my fourth game for my witchhunters tonight. Any takers?

Awesome! I'll be bringing my Mordheim, but will be fully prepared to play board games with you instead. If you're interested, some of us usually go out to Bayou on Bay afterwards for beer and food. It's our NYP replacement!

With family coming in tomorrow, I think I'm out for tonight. I'll return next week!

Oh wow, just saw this. Thanks so much!

The league was tons of fun and definitely great for getting up to speed with the new edition. Thanks for running it, and for answering my endless barrage of rules questions!

I still need my second game, and will have my warband with me tonight!

I'll be around for Mordheim tomorrow night to help out with make-up games. However, if I am not needed to assist with the "making of the up" then I will join you for a delightful time of the Curios of the Dark. 

Cool! If so, I'd be very interested to hear your take on the changes. I think you'll appreciate them, given your past experiences with the game.

Oh, I’m heartened by Tennant's role, but I really, really liked the book. I hope they do it right!

I know I've always been down for these in the past but family (not child) obligations continue to plague me this fall.

 

I won't be able to attend. 

Booooo!!! Booooo!!!!

We'll play two-player if need be, but...  aren’t you, dear reader, a bit curious about the darkness? No? Well, rest assured ... the darkness is curious about you muahahahahahaha!!!! ‘Tis the season for .... Dark Curios!!!!

I'm in need of one or two brave souls to join Brad and I for a playtest of Dark Curios. The game board has changed, and gameplay is much less dice-roll dependent. I also have updated customers and a slew of new or revised curios. It's as close to done as it's been, and I just need another set of eyes to see how it feels.

Start time would be 7:30 at DTG, so you have time for a Mordheim game if you start early. First beer and/or soda is on me!

Spartakrieger Jr. slowed his pace and lowered his massive flail-- hands still shaking with adrenaline. 

"I must be more than this now", he thought as fought to keep the bloodlust at bay.

Killing was all he knew, all he'd ever been allowed to know. But not anymore. His men and women were free now, and tearing these Tilean mercenaries apart wouldn't solve their problems. The Tilean slavers were their problem. Mercenaries would keep coming until the slavers ran out of gold. 

"Oenemaus Jr., call every everyone back!", Spartakrieger Jr. called. "We've got the treasure, we need to withdraw before we lose anyone else."

He looked to the bridge where Jaguar Jr. lay dead. Gannikson Jr., the Dwarf Slayer, outnumbered three-to-one and barely fending off a flurry of blows, was already cut and bleeding in half dozen places. "This wouldn't be the proper death for the slayer," Spartakrieger Jr. thought. Though he knew the junior Dwarf would rage at him tonight, likely with a brawl to settle it, having been robbed of a chance at death.

 

Fixed it for you!

Do Hired Swords count their warband rating increase in addition to, or instead of the base 5 per model?

Thanks a million, Joey! It was awesome to see so many Infinity tables. I'm feeling much more comfortable with the new edition of the rules, in spite of my constant stream of rules questions.

Koyote! Post a guide of “things oft neglected that should be more carefully considered” for Mordheim noobs. With, like, lucky charms and the like. And a need for max henchfolk.
