Just perfectly summing up my opinion on game balance, rules, and really all TTRPG advice. Not only is the man a mini painting wizard, he understands RPGs!

"If it gets annoying that one guy at your table keeps taking the broken thing, tell him to stop that. Be an adult. Be a group that's working together. Have a conversation. I don't wanna play a crappier game because you can't talk to your friend"

My big project: The Death Generator.
It's a tool for making fake video game screenshots, just fill in new text and it'll give you a (generally) pixel-accurate image back, the correct fonts and everything.

Was wary of going with the reinforcement phase instead of exploration/quartermaster but WOW that was the least "feels bad" that an "oops, start a new warband" (essentially) post-game phase has ever felt.

Nicely done, y'all

Got absolutely rekt in last night's Trench Crusade campaign game. Limped out of game 6 with about 350 ducats of living warriors remaining.

Illustration. The Witch King of Angmar sits atop a fell beast, perched on the ruins of Osgiliath. He is surrounded by orcs and fire. The mountains of Mordor are in the distance. the sky is lit by volcano fire.

Vasily Vereshchagin, b. 1842
The Apotheosis of War , 1871
Oil on Canvas.

Apotheosis depicts a pile of human skulls set on the barren earth, the aftermath of a battle or siege. A flock of carrion birds are seen to be occupied with picking over the pile; some birds have already landed, while others are flying in or roosting in nearby trees. The ground below them is a sallow, earthy yellow covered with grass, complementing the dirty ivory color of the partially-bleached skulls. The shadow cast by the mound, coupled with the many black orifices created by empty jaws and eye-sockets, adds a sense of depth to the painting, further exacerbating the scale of the deathly pile.

A range of mountains serves as a dividing line for the painting, separating the vastness of the steppes from the emptiness of the sky, while the city of Samarkand can be seen in the far right of the painting. The city's walls have visibly been breached, a reference to the Siege of Samarkand in the summer of 1868 in which the Russian garrison repulsed a Bukharid attack. On the work's frame, Vereshchagin inscribed that he dedicated the painting "to all great conquerors, past, present and to come".

Inscribed on the painting's frame is: "To all great conquerors, past, present and to come."

The Minister of War of the Austrian Empire ordered that his soldiers be barred from viewing this painting, and banned its reproduction.

A picture of Chandelle I drew after a month of drawing only weapon sketches for a contract. She is making a grossed out expression holding her cigarette in one hand and a phone receiver in the other. The phone is sprouting some tentacles, as phones are wont to do.
She is wearing a black rifle coat with tan leather shoulder pads, a black vest, a blue tie and a light blue pinstripe shirt with a white collar.
