Definitely a close match. :)

It used to be that tieflings had a lot of variety in skin tones, nonhuman features, and so on. D&D 5E standardized them to all be the cause of Asmodeus and they all have the same sort of look (perhaps because the D&D people wanted an identifiable/iconic look for tieflings, to easier ID them in art).

U.S. sub sinks Iranian warship off Sri Lanka, killing 87 and expanding war zone A U.S. submarine sank an Iranian warship off the southern coast of Sri Lanka, killing dozens of sailors and dramatically widening Washington's pursuit of the Iranian navy.

A US submarine sinking a lonely, dinky Iranian surface ship an ocean away from the theater of the main conflict—and 9000
miles from North America—makes it pretty clear the US is fighting a general war, without the declaration required by the Constitution. www.reuters.com/world/asia-p...

NANCY MACE: What is a woman? Have you learned that lesson?

WALZ: I'm the governor of Minnesota. I'm not here to be a prop for your obsession.

Oops I meant “send it back to make it grey”

I recently got into it again after Monte did a huge books and minis purge. Of course this happened 5-10 years after I got rid of all of my own minis, painted and unpainted, so I’m basically stating over .. with older eyes and an older back. :p

Exactly!
Some of these might even end up bright red.
All under the umbrella of “can I tell these minis apart on the table from five feet away without my glasses.”
I swear if I was painting napoleonics they’d be hot pink, historical accuracy be damned. :D

Prob a part of why they don’t want colleges teaching liberal artsy things like history

Monte: I think you may actually be running more games than I am right now!
Me: two Ptolus games, Invisible Sun, plus some Numenera for some patrons … i think we’re tied. :D

I had convos with D&D’s Jeremy Crawford and art director Richard Whitters about how they’d order orc art and the artist often turned in art with green orcs and they’d have to send it back to make it green.

*By “Im aware” I mean I wrote the orc chapter of Volo’s Guide To Monsters thar points this out (using decades of D&D color art).
Perhaps D&D art direction is so firm on this because Warhammer and Warcraft orcs are so iconically green that they had to double down on D&D orcs being grey?

And I’m aware* that D&D-style orcs are supposed to have grey skin, not green, but (1) I’ve played so much Warcraft that Im used to green orcs, (2) there are a lot more and richer painting options for green, and (3) i paint ghouls and zombies as grey/grey green so I want orcs to look different.

Three burly orc miniatures, green skin, big curved swords

Painted some orc minis (BONES from @reaperminiatures.bsky.social ) and I mostly like how they turned out. The sculpts aren’t too busy, the faces have fun character. I painted them to match the yellow/green orc face tokens I posted the other day. I think I’ll redo the metallic green with steel.

Welp I guess there’s no way to earn the votes of young men other than by courting and vocally backing the three fraudulent industries that are absolutely ruining their lives.

The moon going from full moon to a red moon and starting to go back to a normal full moon, then my camera battery door fell off.

Here's my first edit on the March 3rd Lunar Eclipse. 15 moon shots, 1 foreground. Taken over a 3 hourish period.

One of the crimes of AI has been the destruction of the beautiful "my nephew made this logo for me on his computer!" energy from all the hyper-local plumbers and taco shops. AI slop on white work vans is a crime against humanity.

still from the show battlestar galactic showing commander adama on the phone saying "GALACTICA ACTUAL"

Was teaching a ham radio intro course just now & covering prowords when someone asked about "actual." I explained it was a mil term & gave example of Adama saying GALACTICA ACTUAL. A guy in the session almost did a spit take because they have a conference room named that but he didn't know why.

My relationship to older not-that-tech-savvy folks makes me very aware of the shit silicon valley types expect to be obvious but really just isn't and this is why I'm begging people in positions of power to hire some midwesterners who care about people.

It cannot be stressed enough how these Republicans don’t see government jobs as jobs at all. They see them as titles, no-show gigs where they can do whatever they want. That’s why they hated the people in those jobs before, they thought it was a scam because they don’t believe in doing the work.
