This is a fun little sprue. I'm doing up a series of objective markers/detail pieces using this sprue, the earlier Dead Animal Bits, and various other parts and leftovers from a whole variety of places. Photos and blog post sometime soon.

The wyrdscience account on one side of a cluster labelled TTRPG Creators & Community.

Nah, you've been re-evaluated since your screenshot was taken - now firmly clustered into TTRPG Creators & Community. No void for you?

Tucked into one lobe of Tabletop Wargaming & Miniature Painting Community looks about right for me. Really cool visualization, though I don't pretend to understand more than "tracked who follows you and what they talk about to generate connections" here...

Its a great system. I like how the genre-specific stuff like Quote Scripture is tactically relevant.

I don't care if you're a big painting studio or not, if you paint very well or not.

If you use AI to animate or paint your miniature, your art is worthless.

Respect all the other artists, respect the planet and respect yourself.

A friend living in a large co-op building on one edge of Vancouver's Chinatown reported that at one point he turned the TV off to hit the can or something and realized that he could still hear the game because basically the entire building was tuned in. Wild.

Is that the mic on the laptop picking them up with reverb? Serious vroom vroom going on there.

It is #Caturday and the Floof continues to be photogenic. Persist, but pause to gaze upon the floof. Remember that Nazis need punching, ICE must be abolished, Canada will never be the 51st State, alt text should be included in all images, trans rights are human rights, and all cats are best cats.

YouTube video by Traitor Enforcer How to Sculpt Fire and Flame on Swords [Greenstuff Tutorial]

Thanks! Inspired by this video, which has a few autofocus issues and appears to be the single solitary video this person ever published, but is a good intro to doing flame and fire in greenstuff. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z-FH...

Three landskneckt and some sort of screaming skull construct, very incomplete. Greenstuff spectral flames being added to ghost-ify them.

These guys are very WIP but fit the theme. Warlord plastic landskneckt being greenstuffed into spectres, and a skull thing mostly from GW skullz. Turns out that flame is pretty easy to sculpt in greenstuff. Also have a sprue of random Romans that'll get the same treatment eventually.

The Act of Creation? The Divine Motions that flow through me as is my right as the Conduit of a power known only to my gods? A true gift that lets me briefly feel connected yet free from the universal laws themselves having borne something from nothing? And you want me to let the computer do that?

Discworld QOTD, from I Shall Wear Midnight

There's a type of guy whose hobby is to complain about the hobby they think they're part of, but never actually build anything or participate in any helpful way.

Ignore them.

Minneapolis has style.

Please explain how a "nice side street" helps me bike to a destination that is almost always on the "crazy busy street". I'll wait.

Tutorial: Painting Spectres I painted some oldschool Barrow Wights recently, and my Patrons expressed interest in a painting tutorial for their spectral colour scheme. Time to deliver! I used a metal Wraith for the tutorial; it

YouTube video by Bruce Springsteen Bruce Springsteen - Streets Of Minneapolis (Official Audio)

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

Stay free

Hey any Seattle area folks, check your sweet new ride out...

Space Weirdos and Sword Weirdos are good fun. I like the weapon attributes setup, it gives good flavour.

In my ongoing attempts to give you a break from *gestures widely* THE HORRORS:

Let's talk about the utterly bizarre science of cats' purring.

Here's a weird starting point:
There are NO cats (Felidae) that can BOTH roar AND purr.

Cats that roar = genus Panthera
Cats that purr = genus Felis

Ooof. Go read this. Slowly.

If it makes you feel any better, the looooooooooong first syllable American pronunciation still weirds me out despite hearing it intermittently for decades at this point... isn't English fun?

Deeee-kahl is very American. Shortened first syllable, deh-kahl, is how I always heard it pronounced here in Canada before I started talking to more Yanks...

The US granted visas to Jews but only allowed 30,000 in from Germany a year. You had to wait for your number to come up.

Meet Robert Smallbones. An unassuming British diplomat who 'hacked' this system so effectively (saving 48 THOUSAND Jews) the UK government kept his scheme secret for decades /1 🧵

A much-liked post by Germany’s satirical newspaper @der-postillon.com with the titles “Vienna Academy of the Arts offers Trump admission as a student” and the caption “They don’t want to get blamed again“

A joke for the history buffs:

Whisky War - Wikipedia

Hans Island, the "Whiskey War". Solved by a Canada-Denmark agreement in 2022 that wiggled the border to fix the problem. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whisky_...

Also my start in gaming. The two sets of polyhedral dice I got to play it are still in my dice collection but the books vanished long ago...
