Thank you. I have done loads of Gaslands cars and each of them has been fun to create.

I've always said I have the body of a top athlete. She died in 1984.

oh totally. I'm sure there has been the equivalent of drunkenly taking shots at targets since missle weapons were invented.

BLUNT... FFS.

Having been shot at by (blut) arrows many times, armour is designed to deflect the incoming missile so it seems a bit random to shoot the insides. You'd want to practice shooting a specific target in a realistic manner.

When getting shot at, a good cower solves everything.

Theres a perfectly good wall to cower behind as well.

Straight in the old viewport...

Tod's Workshop Tod's Workshop makes very accurate copies of medieval weapons, film props for shows like The Witcher and we shoot lots of longbows and crossbows – There is no bull, just straight talking, entertaining...

Who knows. I can't help thinking there may have been better things to target practice against but then it would be a good sized, and realistic, target. Check the arrows v's armour videos for some interesting tests.

Milanesse armour was spot on work as well. From everything I've heard in the reenactment circles, it was what everyone wanted because it was both stylish and top quality. If it had been the other way round, they probably would have still been kebab mess.

I dunno, its a fairly good assumption someone was in there at the time. Theres some great videos on YouTube by Todd Cutler doing arrows against armour and they make some good points (badoom-tish) about the damage to armour. Crossbow bolts would be nastier going through the face and into the helmet.

She'd eat him alive.

I didn’t post the finished Gaslands cars. I got them added to the garage at the weekend.

I'd love a TOS episode with Londo and Kirk trying to outwit each other. It would end up with McCoy getting smashed with Londo on Saurian Brandy while Spock and Vir just stare at them in horror.

black and white photo - iron helmet pierced by three crossbow bolts.

illustration of the helmet as worn by its owner, showing position of the bolts piercing from the top and rear and exiting through eyes, nose and mouth.

This helmet (servillier) of the 1 5th century, with three holes from crossbow bolts. was found in a fortified breach of the inner wall of the Italian city of Padua. The nature of the holes shows us the tragic fate of the defender of a medieval fortress. The helmet was manufactured in Milan's arms workshop Missaglia (Missaqlia) which is what the brand says. The helmet is pierced with three crossbow bolts. All trassological characteristics indicate that trace-forming obiects are crossbow bolts. Direction of flight of bolts - front and bottom. Most likely, by the helmet, that is by its owner, the defender of the fortress standing on the wall, the attackers fired from the crossbars below. Originally, there were no bolts in the helmet. During the restoration of the helmets, they were placed on display by a celebrated gunman and curator (curator of weapons and armour at the Bashford Dean Metropolitan Museum of Art.

that'd leave a mark

As I always say at training, make sure your face is protected.

What my Call of Cthulhu game is like in my head vs how it actually plays out.

My Innsmouth video has how many views?

Nice!

So it's Black History Month and that means I think it's a good time to get familiar with Mike Pondsmith, if you're not already.

When you see R. Talsorian Games, that's him. When you see Cyberpunk 2077, that's his world.

Mekton, Castle Falkenstein, also him.

Eeeeeewwwwww

I don’t often make second versions but for “reasons” I’m making a new Padthulhu based on @evandorkin.bsky.social cover from an issue of the Blasphemous Tome by @goodfriendsofje.bsky.social a couple of years ago. Still in WIP stage but I made a good start on it today.

This scene in notable for me for something that... Makes me sound like a crazy person, but I'm going to pass it along and let you decide.

My authorized League of Extraordinary Gentlemen sculpture, and down toward the bottom, a bit about Mina's wardrobe in this scene:

Pope leg is a serious condition.

They have to keep the lower half preserved more. Can’t have a mouldy pope.

Coward. Get yourself embalmed and then driven round in a popemobile.

I vant to drink your blood. Blah blah blah.

The cracking Gary Morley Dracula from @badsquiddogames.bsky.social

I wouldn't wish that on them. The ringworm I mean. Imagine being stuck on the skin of one of those parasites.

Can we at least get a Ringworld?

Also, playing Cyberpunk on a Steamdeck feels quite on point.
