I painted up some lily pads and lotus flowers today. I love how these came out. I threw in a nice callout too (no, not the Murlocs). I'm sure many will see it right away.

Been slacking on my painting this week so I played a little catch up with 6 Goblin Watch Towers. As always these will be available on my store and at my convention booth at the Philadelphia Area Gaming Expo in January.

I'm thinking about running some Delta Green. That's close enough isn't it? =)

As someone that started during beta and then played through 4th edition and Ice Age, I am amazed that the game is still going. Several times over the years I reconsidered playing I don't recognize the game anymore and my wallet thanks me for looking away.

Nice score today locally. It was posted on a local facebook page last night so I didn't hesitate and grabbed it. Nice piece of history here. These were given to Waldenbooks to use as endcaps to promote D&D.

I would love to run Impossible Landscapes eventually for my group but they haven't played a single session of Delta Green yet. They are going to start with Last things Last and then Music from a Darkened Room. If they like that then I plan more small missions before tackling IL. Have fun.

Study time. Really like Delta Green the more I read about it.

Just about finished with my Throne and Ash "starter" castle. Lot of addon pieces to print and paint now. Once I have my convention stock finished I will be adding these to my storefront.

Not sure Draw Steel or Daggerheart are for me but i'm all for some Deadlands, One Ring, Star Wars, Star Trek, Walking Dead, Twilight, Outgunned....etc. So many cool games that I have been missing out on.

Awesome. I would like to get back to Deadlands soon. We got into the SWADE version and really enjoyed the change of pace from D&D.

Two more sets painted up today for customers. Keeping busy. These are both available as painted and unpainted sets on my store.

Mail call. This is one setting I know absolutely zero about. Time to get reading. Snagged this set for $90, which sounds high, but that's about $40 less than Ebay pricing so I think I did ok.

I think I played the game first at school on the Apple II in 1984. I was 10 at the time. I picked up this monster at a thrift store this year for 99 cents. Couldn't pass it up. Might need a reread after 40 years.

I think I have a little trauma now after painting ropes! I'm happy how it came out, sad that I have to ship it out tomorrow. πŸ˜†

Looks like a fun place to explore.

Last week I completed my set of the bound monstrous compendiums. Most were originals. Darksun are combined into a single hardcover and Planescape I comb bound. This week I cleaned up and printed all of the binder appendix addons and bound them. I think that is all of them!

I used to be but these days not so much. If it comes with a fold out map then I need the original but if it's just a book that has a good quality PDF, I am ok printing and binding it myself until I find a cheap copy.

The Planescape Appendix III usually runs about $150. I'm ok with binding my own.

Mail call today. I keep adding these Appendix books. I know there are online sources with it all and have used them but these days I am really getting back enjoying play like it was for me in the 80s/90s....PHB, DMG, Monster Manuals all at the ready.

I just started on my journey into AQ. I am the same way, I am patient and will hunt deals. I also have a comb binder so if it's something too expensive and doesn't include maps I will sometimes get the PDF and just bind it. I collect to play, not display so that works for me.

Very nice. I picked up the same set as well as the Arabian Nights book earlier this year. I haven't delved into them yet but I would love to run an AQ campaign in the future. Looks fun.

I downloaded the Adventurer's Journal and Clue Book from my GoG version of the Pool of Radiance game for extra resources. I am also listening to the Pool of Radiance novel on audiobook for about my 5th read/listen over the years to refresh. Going to be a lot of fun.

I had a few ideas when I began prepping this campaign but I decided its time to finally run my "Reclamation of Phlan" campaign that I have been working on for years. 1358DR and I am running a heavily modified (fixed) version of Ruins of Adventure. Lots of homebrew additions.
