Our new lich queen comes in two flavours - with bone wand or flaming staff - and is always incensed that their proof-of-concept decentralized dungeon model allowing anyone to spin up their own instance has resulted in the wrong type of adventurers running around the place.

Coming soon!

That is an extremely BSky method of advertising that figure! Also noted for when my slowly progressing undead forces need actual leadership...

It is #Caturday and the Floof continues to be absurd and photogenic. Persist, but pause to gaze upon the floof. Remember that Nazis need punching, 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.

It's very good. Lots of period/genre flavour that keeps it from being just another skirmish system, and I always like a co-op system.

Mini of the month competition October - Terrain-ing day

Your mission this month involves no minis at all. Instead you are to create a terrain piece from scratch. Old school style. So cardboard, foam, plastic bottles etc.

Rules on skeet 2 (please read them)

1/2

First run, 4min some seconds before being mercilessly gunned down between two dilapidated houses. I rly am bad at first person games, but the atmosphere is glorious and grim.

I'm utterly terrible at first person shooters, but this one has such a fun weird premise and it's been on my Steam wishlist for years. Yesterday seemed like a good time to finally start being hunted by robots in tophats.

Save 40% on Sir, You Are Being Hunted on Steam Sir, You Are Being Hunted is a freedom sandbox stealth experience, where each playthrough is unique, thanks to our British Countryside Generator. Escape from these robot-infested islands with violence...

Also! Sir, You Are Being Hunted is on sale in the Steam Autumn sale, and there is no more autumnal experience than fleeing between the hedgerows chased by tweedy British robots.

And hey, it's a game you should probably own if you like anything I have ever done.

A fluffy brown tabby partially on her back shows one fang to the camera. She is squinting and blurry as she rolls around on her cat condo like the fluffy goofball she is.

Because Henry knows that fascists suck, but not in a useful way like a vacumn does. Also, red and black are the classic antifa colours.

So Red Box Games can join the list of "Decent People Don't do Business with Fash", clearly.

The very last thing Kirk said was racist.

The second to last thing he said was transphobic.

Red Box was vaguely on my radar as "neat fantasy figures I might get to some day" but now I can take them right off, clearly.

Single panel comic. Two kids stand under a tree on a short ledge at the edge of a pond, looking at half of a lump-with-handle cow tool hanging from a rope tied to a branch of the tree hanging over the water.  In the pond, the horns of a cow protrude from the water, swimming away from the half-eaten lump.  One kid says to the other, "Listen... you go tell Billy's mother, and I'll start looking for another lump-with-handle."

Um, welp. That's a thing.

And I still wish ill up on JK Rowling and all TERFs, especially the ones with far too much money.

I've told this story before, but Pratchett fandom in the early 2000s introduced me to the first transfolk that I knew as trans, and the idea that PTerry would embrace fascist TERFdom is insulting and absurd.

Oh, and I wish ill upon JR Rowling. Always.

One of the great things about stone circles is they come in all sorts of scales, from Stonehenge+ to the still-ominous little backwoods versions like this one I built on a CD base back in 2017: www.warbard.ca/2017/06/19/a...

Those look good. Stone circles and menhirs and the like are gloriously flexible terrain, and I don't think I've seen a boat grave done before, very nice!
