I still need two Cores (water/air) and I don't have any Omphalos's.

Kinda feel like buying another booster box of Sorcery TCG. I have bought one box each of Beta and Gothic. The only other set available is Arthurian Legends, but it's not too interesting to me. I _should_ buy one just to have a ton more new cards, but I'd rather have more beta or gothic I think.

Painted up the well! Took maybe 1.5 hours, it wasn't too bad.
The top can come off the base, and be replaced with a metal cover if you need a sealed well for some reason. Neat to have options.

Still adding slop accounts daily. It's at around 6,750 accounts now. I make sure to click into each one and scroll a little to make sure they deserve to be listed in here.

I have seen some... messed up stuff.

Uhhh I'm floating in a weird place, between TTRPG, Indie Rock (??), Left Wing Activists (ok), and not far off from "Fandom" and The Sims 4???
(Added green text in mspaint so it's readable)

I blame Swanboy for the Indie Rock bit.

At least I'm spraying with a really good painters mask so I'm not straight huffing fumes in a confined space.

After notes: The filter is clogged and/or the fan is too weak, this didn't work well this time and the whole house smelled of spray paint (directly to the right is the whole house furnace).
I was running all of our air cleaners on high all day.
Need to put in a baffle to protect the (new) filter.

Though these white prints are noticeably lighter than my normal gray prints post-spray, so I'll need to give them two coats to help even them out, bleh.

A large cardboard box with a filter taped into the back used as a spray booth. On top of it are a bunch of Hexengarde 3d printed terrain pieces that work well for Mordheim or Frostgrave.
Three cans of Tamiya ts1 red brown spray are queued up.

Random basement storage stuff can be seen in the background, like a skull.

Got out my diy spray booth in the basement storage room to spray some more 3d printed terrain.
Cardboard box with filter hooked up to a fan via garbage bags.

I also wish I didn't start this project with Tamiya RedBrown spray, because it's annoying to get and expensive, and yet I have to continue with it because it's also the base color for my wood and everything would look weird otherwise.

Wish my local hobby shop was more local to me. I need some Tamiya spray for my printed terrain's base coat but I don't want to drive like 45min (one way).

Having an idea is the hardest part, you see.

I'm moving my files from google drive to some free notes app called Obsidian. Might work on this stuff again now that I actually have minis and terrain to use, and no system that has clicked for me yet.

Some page made in mspaint showing how an experience system would work in my skirmish game, working titles Warbands.
It shows Fighter Dudely with a series of boxes, half solid, half dotted. The solid boxes are each an experience point needed to level up. The dotted ones are 'debt' that can be accrued due to injuries, leveling rerolls or gaining items. You normally don't need them to level up, but certain instances can make them 'solid' and required to level.
The idea is that these things don't ruin your character (like traditional injuries), they just delay their advancement to the next level by some amount. So while normally you only need 3xp to get that first level, you might need up to 6 total if enough instances of debt occur.
City of Heroes, the old MMO, had a system like that, where whenever you died you would accrue 'debt', making it take longer to get to the next level, while never actually deleveling you like Everquest did.

Discouraged by Frostgrave and looking for a skirmish game for all my terrain I've been printing and painting, I remembered I started writing up my own rules like 8 years ago.
Looking through my files, I had this neat experience system idea, borrowed from Mordheim and City of Heroes.
