I am very excited to try Draw Steel once the physical books ship. Been playing Shadowdark while I wait. Fun and fast!

This really pushes forward from the boardgame too... he never grew up in the mortal world.

What else is Thornwatch really? Where else is Thornwatch?

Been painting some Hexton Hills from Graven Guild. I can't get enough of these tiles...! They're so pretty, incredibly easy to paint, and just a joy all around.

Big thanks to Dwarven Forge for their incredible line of naturalistic colored acrylic paints.

Finally got around to painting a Hexton Hills hex tile (by Graven Guild). Super easy and fun! Big thanks to Dwarven Forge for their great and natural paint selection.

Going to start painting these in bigger numbers once my printing buddy has some time :)

Seem to be more real people having real conversations here for sure. More... human? For now.

@stonemaiergames.com Ran out of room to @ you for my first post. I love your design chops.

Vantage is the first Stonemaier that feels like I'm precisely the target audience and it floored me. Bravo. I am sure you must be proud of this and very well earned!

Wonderfully fresh game and beautiful!

Holy cow Vantage from Stonemaier is something special folks. An exploration game where you really are exploring, where learning can matter, and there's a surprise around every corner.

Here's an example where one of us stumbled onto a racetrack and proceeded into a race mini-game.

Heck yeah!!!

Now I hope it has a "you played Darksiders 1, so here's the old man difficulty setting."

Bad Squiddo minis are hands down one of my favorite sculpts. I try to order some every year or two to save on international shipping.

I especially love the scenic elements for dressing my builds.

I cannot know true joy, my country is not in Eurovision.

But if it was, it would be terrible. Like French entries are ;)

How would this feel coming from a DM? Hobbying is good training for a lot of things.

Sounds like a good time for some natural consequences... of the parenting kind.

We live in an era where virtual spaces are worthy of hobbyist photography. There is something wonderful there...

A buddy invented the "Shadowdark" last week and I had to educate him... great times.

A self-righteous paladin PC was successfully rebuked by a vampire for attacking their keep. Their mutual god had so obviously failed to protect the vampire's village that even he agreed the vampire was in the right.

If you're still up for more 5E, 2024 is 5E.

If you were getting bored, or wanted a different game... it doesn't do much for you.

MCMD's Flee, Mortals refreshed the game for me. I want more of that in 5e and 2024 isn't more of that.

Plus some of the dragons are uglier now ;)
