Next model done. I tried going for a grubbier painting style with this one. https://www.beastsofwar.com/project/1794968/

She looks like someone left the toilet seat up. Again. And now it’s payback time XD

Good morning lads and lasses. It is Friday! Huzzah!

New thread:

[unofficial weekender] Finish it!

Keep bicycling! I’m retired, so walk twice a day for an hour or so around the neighborhood to keep the back problems away.

I do enjoy thinking about rulesets, particularly coming up with ones that are alternatives to rolling dice. Walking gives me time to think about them. Never act on them, because, when I get home, I have those mini’s to paint. 😛

From the thread title, I thought the question would be about our Holy Grail of rulesets. (: Might be worth a question in a later Weekender. Here’s what I’m looking for in a ruleset:

* Uses my existing miniatures: Ends up being generic fantasy.

* Solo play: Give me time to interrupt the game and paint miniatures.

* Campaign narrative: Five Leagues from the Borderlands is as close as I’m getting.

* Magic: Sellswords and Spellslingers is looking good, although Fireballs dominate the game.

* Create your own units: Song of Gold and Darkness lets you create your own units, using a point system.

* AI: Sellswords and Spellslingers cheats (: by having Event cards throw bad guys from out of nowhere, so there’s no AI that you can outsmart.

Might give Lasting Tales a shot, then Altar Quest, although I don’t expect them to have what I’m looking for in a “one set of rules to rule them all”.
