Whaaaaaaaa?! Anybody got a kid I can borrow?

Hey everybody, I'm going to be running some Seance Workshops for 4 to 6 year olds in the basement of the abandoned asylum in Ennis at midnight on Halloween.

Parents must wait outside, only small children are allowed in the asylum.

Book now to avoid disappointment!

This was a fun and quick paint from #Bloodwork, a new skirmisher. I got sent some minis as a part of their promotion on Gamefound, this being one of them. It's a neat little objective token (I guess?), and now I'm obsessed with making more little tokens and scatter items!!!

I just finished "The Whisperer in Darkness" by the #HPLHS on recommendation from @fadedquillgaming.bsky.social and was not disappointed! Very well done and fun flick, and if you have Hoopla through your library, it's available for checkout there!

I really really really must find time to finish this #Prydain fan art. (A lot of the faces are kinda placeholder right now. So hard to capture how I imagine these characters with any accuracy)

Excellent article on hex maps and usage! I've pretty much only used them as abstract - so something new to look at doing!

A quick guide to how I like to base minis w/ tabs or integrated bases. First, I glue them "proud" of the base so I can get stuff under them, and then toss on a few rocks for visual interest and to help hold the next step down better!

100% on page flipping!! I've found that sometimes the order of a process or how the options are laid out make no sense to me, but a friend can look at it and it makes total sense to them. At that point I start making my own notes that make sense to me - especially if I want to create a character.

Good stuff!!!

Jake @ Faded Quill Gaming @fadedquillgaming.bsky.social · Aug 28

I need that bit of detail also! Makes the world more interesting to me if I feel my character has a part in it. One of my favorite backstories was coming from a caring and loving family who my Bard made time to visit at least twice a year.

Jake @ Faded Quill Gaming @fadedquillgaming.bsky.social · Aug 28

What determines if it is easy? Is it the character sheet, the character build process, the level of detail?

Jake @ Faded Quill Gaming @fadedquillgaming.bsky.social · Aug 28

How detailed do you like your character creation? To me, this process helps me buy into the game world, etc. I enjoy it and do it knowing that the character could die in the first session.

What about you?
