Pledge involves working on a wild west town for Dead Man’s Hand and painting the minatures I bought to go with it.

Had a nightmare building an mdf saloon because the laser cuts were wrong in some places… and not in a small way at times… two sides of the same roof were different sizes and had to be cut down to fit. Filler will also be needed. I expect a bit of trimming to get things to fit, but this was a real pain.

When it comes to learning the rules of an RPG is usually only bother with the 30-ish pages of actual rules to play the game that are surrounded by fluff, character generation, spells etc. Most RPG’s are similar enough that you can make a ‘call’ and if it’s wrong then I fix it later.

With skirmish games I often look at how to play and demo games to get the basics and read the core rules. Faction rules I look up the first few games until it falls into place.

Board games I read the rules and watch a lets play and/or demo game.

I don’t play tournaments, so getting the rules right not as important as having fun.
