WIP Wednesday: I’ve been working on a Death Korps of Krieg project for a friend, some stuff for Warriors of Athena, and Richard Sharpe.

Yep! The rules for it even make it more likely to explode in a game. It’s awesome!

Progress on the next 3rd Rate and a Galleon. The galleon is a Christmas present for my friend, Scott, and will be a pirate ship!

Donald Featherstone and the Birth of the Solo Wargamer #SoloWargaming
Donald Featherstone didn’t invent solo wargaming for convenienceβ€”he invented it to solve uncertainty. This video explores how his 1960s experiments laid the groundwork for modern solo rules, AI decks, and narrative tabletop systems used by wargamers today. (Donald Featherstone, Solo Wargaming (London: Stanley Paul, 1973), esp. Chapters 1–3; Featherstone editorials in Wargames magazine, issues 1–20 (1962–1966)) #WargamingHistory #SoloWargaming #TabletopGames Donald Featherstone and the Birth of the Solo Wargamer #SoloWargaming

1/50 model fountain and plinth with statue made out of cardboard.

1/50 model fountain and plinth with statue made out of cardboard.

First, I wanted to 3D print the plinth and the street fountain, but then I decided to build them out of cardboard by scratch - I find making something with my hands so much more satisfying. Also, it takes the mind off the horrible things happening in the world at the moment...
