On the ordobowl site it says hiring journeymen is free so long as they are within the 16 player threshold... am I only able to hire one if I'm under 11 players as in past seasons or can they be a reserve player?

I heard that the original primarchs first recruiting drive was involuntarily celibate internet tough guys.

Board games or blood bowl 're-learning' game ???

link is broken for me

Roster is all done and ready to go. Working on models now.

I created a team but can't figure out how to go back in and add player names.

Started playing Kingdom Come Deliverance last week. I like it. Fluff and setting is real medieval history. The locations are real. The battles are real battles. The historical references check out. Fans of difficult combat will like it. You get nothing in the way of auto targeting or even a reticle. Weapons are heavy and sometimes off balance. Footwork, inertia and follow through are essential. Button mashing always fails. Combat damage is realistic...IE you don't simply lose some amount of health. A direct hit pretty much kills you every time no matter what your level. Healing isn't exactly realistic but wounds impede your progress far more realistically than competitive titles. Different injuries require different measures. My favorite bit is the dialogue trees. If your character doesn't have good speech and charisma skills you basically talk like a moron. In order to acquire better conversation options you actually have to get smarter. This means that a lot of the more clever avenues of solving quests will be closed to you if you simply level up your combat abilities. I also like that you play a very ordinary character. No nameless warrior escaping from prison with amnesia... you are a lazy, horny teenager with a penchant for practical jokes. The story is genuinely interesting. I don't find myself skipping any cut scenes or dialogues.

I've done oil washes before and they seem fine over most any sort of varnish. I imagine one would not want to agitate them a lot if using mineral spirit and you certainly cannot put anything water based over them. I would definitely recommend experimenting with them especially if you want to get some really brilliant colors or a more convincing texture on skin or fur. Thanks for all the tips! I ordered those quickshades and Ill try mixing that wash as well.

So I'm painting some figures after a pretty lengthy hiatus from the hobby and wanted a few pointers from those who have kept up their game. I like the concept and look of the polyshades dip but as an intermediate step. I'm wondering what a good way might be to duplicate this effect but with a water based product that I could mix myself and modify the color. I have a pretty good set of inks. I used to use a solution made from floor wax that worked pretty well as well as water based varnish. I don't have extra figures to practice so I'm hoping someone has a good recipe to share. Also, I plan to finish the figures with an oil wash. I think I have a pretty good grasp of this technique but I wanted to know if anyone present has tried it. Also, if you have does it work well with dullcote? Normally its applied over a gloss varnish but I'd rather have a matte finish if possible. All guidance is appreciated!

Dark Elves. I expect to acquire a team this evening. (edit) make that wood elves.

Ill be there hunting for blood bowl.

Possible. Preference for humans or elves.

It's difficult to believe but I think I want a blood bowl team. Ideally I'd like to buy or trade for an already cleaned, assembled and based team (unpainted) I'll consider most anything but high on my list are vintage GW skaven, greebo wood elves, greebo chaos dwarves and black scorpion humans. I like the new GW plastics ok but I really dislike assembling them. Not interested in anything that would require stripping, cleaning, glue removal or repair. I don't really have miniatures to trade at present but I can hook you up with console video game stuff, graphic novels, board games, anime, pokemon plush toys and other marital aids. The IRS hates barter!

I'm coming just for drinks, dinner and board games saturday.

KHAAAN volunteered to pick it up. If that falls through I will bring it saturday.

Yo. I've got a big box of loot compliments of Retro Game Trader. I can bring it on saturday. Or someone could get it from the shop. Sorry to be tardy.

Sean Carroll, Sam Harris, Very Bad Wizards, Joe Rogan, Star Talk, Infinite Monkey Cage.

I'd love to hit up some boardgames!

Fans of sci fi, dark future, psychological horror and just general weirdness really should not miss out on this man's stories (fiction) Fans of literary culture and peculiar social issues really should not miss out on his non fiction editorials and op ed pieces. I disagreed with him about a lot of things but it was always zesty and always interesting. His references are all over gaming fluff if you watch for it.

I've always loved a well executed puzzle within a video game. For games like Legend of Zelda, Tomb Raider and others the puzzles including bosses that are essentially puzzles they really make the game. Recently I've acquired a swathe of games that are distilled down to the puzzle element. It's all I'm really playing right now. On current rotation are Talos Principle, The Witness, Qbeh, Haven Moon, The Bridge, Oxenfree. Others on the queue that I haven't started yet include: Braid, Obduction, Limbo, Inside and Hue. Probably more that I'm forgetting. If you like puzzles I think that you are spoiled for choice right now. I'm curious if anyone has a favorite.

Curses. I got called in. See y'all next hopefullyu

I'm thinking five-ish for board games and/or beers.

Great to see everyone again!

I'll come for board game love and foot rubs.

Nice palette. I always appreciate armies that break away from familiar primary color schemes.
