Very well! Nevada is a wonderful state! It's nice being so close to family again, laws are less and things are drastically less expensive. People are nicer too!

Both kinda. Moved to a different state to be closer to family. Wife already has an amazing job, so I'm keeping myself busy while I look for work. Hoping something good comes along soon, just hitting it hard getting the apps out. Paralegal work pays good if you can find a good opening, haha.

Not this time, unfortunately. Last time I was out, my wife and I found some chunks of druzy quartz, but I didn't see any this time. I'll go further afield next time. :)

Instead of spending my whole afternoon filling out job applications and sending resumes, I decided to take a little break and go hiking, looking for cool rocks. Found this picturesque golf ball instead.

Here's a Nova Prime, a 50-ton Clan OmniMech from the BattleTech: Alpha Strike Box Set, painted in the colors of the 18th Falcon Regulars, Epsilon Galaxy, Clan Jade Falcon.

Another David Winter piece where I touched up the paint and flocked the roof. Getting a lot of these done while I've been off work, lol

First Battletech mini I've painted at the new place. Legionnaire reporting for duty!

I unironically *love* Fordite, and was wondering if we'd see any come down the pipeline!

Here's a link to the wiki article for more info about Fordite, beyond Hillary's excellent video recap:

FORDITE! :D

Another fun experiment in repainting David Winter pieces for TTRPG use. Redid the roof with Army Painter Battlefield Grass and some basing clumps, then gave it stain glass windows.

I think so! I love the idea of running a TTRPG campaign where the heroes have a village physically represented that they can get invested in.

Two different paint jobs on the same model. I'm really enjoying flocking the roofs too. Who might live in these homes?

More repainted David Winter cottages for TTRPG use. I recently picked up a lot of these guys at goodwill and didn't realize I already had a "Sussex Cottage" at home. Well, good opportunity to get creative!

And the ship sails on, back to the north
Through the fog and ice and the albatross follows on

The mariner kills the bird of good omen
His shipmates cry against what he's done
But when the fog clears, they justify him
And make themselves a part of the crime

I know that feeling, absolutely! I used to take them on family road trips and just read for hours.

I think the real gem of my collection though has to be Deities and Demigods with the (later cut) Cthulhu mythos content

It feels like an accomplishment for sure! Here's my oldest, haha!

Also: All of the content from this book (and the Compendium) is now on a website anyone can browse even from their phone. The world of TTRPGs has blossomed and expanded in amazing ways. I can't wait to see what the next 30 years bring.

It's wild to me how things change. When I was 11 years old, this book was my most valued possession. For me, it was an irreplaceable cure for boredom. It still sits on my shelf 30 years later.
