  1. I always considered getting doom! Fond memories of gaming there, I'm not so good at the video gaming anymore but totally love the idea of a board game.

     

    What is the main structure of doom?

     

    Zombicide rocks, got tons of the add on stuff myself.

    I have no idea.  I haven't even punched out the counters yet.  I mostly bought it for the miniatures.

  2. So some of you may know that I was participating in National Novel Writing Month.  I didn't win this year, only got 43,000 words written, but my novel  -- Blackblade: Vengeance of the Necromancer -- is half-finished and it's really good so I'm okay with not winning (it's not like there was a prize).  I think it'll be done by January.   But this post is all about the cover of my novel.

     

    First, this is the mock-up of a cover I did, and its clearly absolute crap:

    And this is the sketch I just got back from Alex García, who did the concept artwork for the DeepWars miniatures game:

    What a difference actually being an artist makes, huh?  That's just amazeballs.

     

    And the color test:

    Isn't that [big bad swear word]ing AWESOME?

     

    I'm giddy like a schoolgirl.  I've been working towards this for a long time, and the only way to describe my mood right now is with this gif:

    Anyways, now that nanowrimo is over and I'm not pushing for 50k in 30 days, I'll actually be down at the shop.  You know, unless there is a blizzard,

  3. I just locked myself in a closet and banged my head against the wall til mommy and daddy stopped fighting, like I always do.

     

    But seriously, this isn't what I want out of gaming club.  I like this to all blow over sooner rather than later.  It's no fun, especially when I -- as a n00b -- feel like I don't even have footing to have an opinion.

  4. My crusaders are built miles. We need to play some saga

     

    Hell yeah.  I don't know if you got your own copy of the rules yet, but I've been carrying around photocopies of the crusaders entry from crescent & cross for the last few weeks.  Remind me next time you see me and I'll give them to you.

  5. I don't think we should have our own forums. We should just make this one open. You can still schedule games on the forums as well. I am just thinking that we should make an effort to be more inclusive. That is the idea behind pick up games

     

     You will get people who we don't know on this forum then.  This is literally the only spot I know of on the internet immune to the Greater Internet [big bad swear word]wad Theory -- because no one is anonymous.  I like that.  Also Shay is right:  Exclusivity is fun.

     

     

    I do think we should put up a flyer advertising that Tuesday night is opening gaming night, what games are often played (I'd list WH40k, WHFB, X-Wing, Infinity, Saga + Boardgames of All Sorts), and most importantly that it starts at 6 PM.

  6. I was thinking about this today as I was doing some yard work in the rain, and I realized it may be a few months (like six) before I get a day sunny enough to make a screen -  the process uses a photosensitive emulsion, and I don't have powerful enough artificial lights.  So placing an order through a shop might be a better idea.

     

    But typically, if you want to do varied colors, it's cheaper to do it by hand with a screen.  You can use the same screen for all kinds of different colors (you have to wash the screen after each run, which makes changing inks a snap), but I think when you do machine runs setting up a new color incurs an extra charge.

  7. Hold on a second you can do this yourself!? Awesome.

     

    Yeah, sure.  I've got all the gear --  I've got several 24" x 24" screens, so I can do a really large design in pretty much any color on any t-shirt.

     

    All I'd really need is a clean sample of the bayonet-hamster artwork in b&w and whatever text folks want, I can do all the design work on my computer.

  8. What size base did you use for your warlord?

     

    Originally I just used a 25mm x 50mm rectangle, same as the rest of my cavalry, but I'm doing a new one mounted on a 50mm circle because I read on the studio tomahawk forums that the 50mm circle is "standard" for mounted warlords.

     

    My mounted priests and unmounted warlords are going on 40mm circles.  Everything else is either 25x50 rectangles or 25mm circles.

     

    I'll throw a 50mm disc in for you, since the bag of them I bought had twice as many as I needed.
