I know that Sean had some doubts about this episode but I wanted to call out that I loved this one! It was really cool to see the threads of music that changed and the ones that stayed the same as artists move between bands. Thanks for putting awesome sets out there!
One of my coworkers asked me how I paint such tiny miniatures and I responded “I just keep making smaller and smaller mistakes until the mistakes are small enough for me to live with”

So I made the unwise decision to buy into another tactical skirmish minis game, but I had so much fun painting it that I can’t regret it.

Okay so I need to pick this up, huh?
Another reason I have a deep distrust of the internet of things.
You’ve heard of truth in advertising, but here’s irony in advertising
Angle dance! Angle dance!
We went to protest but didn’t have time to make signs. Gotta start ‘em young.
You’ve heard of a red tide, but this is an oranges tide! #dadjoke
The minis are so fun to paint! I see you put a lot more attention to detail on the bases than I do. There’s a painting order for the minis on BoardGameGeek if you want to stay ahead of the scenarios. Curious to hear your thoughts on the game once you pick it up!
More #DragonElcipse minis, this time the Furwing. Not my favorite to date, as it’s got a rather bichromatic color palette, and the wings were really hard to paint the undersides of…

Whew! Real life kept me away for a bit, here’s the Young Bolb from #DragonEclipse. I love him so much even if he’s just giving off giant korok energy.

My go to has been randomly selecting between sealed and draft, randomly selecting a class and then a second class to get cards from, and playing single path on the first difficulty bump that makes elites more common. I also bought the game for a third time on Steam to try out the Downfall mod.
Well only hardy plants can survive that amount of snow. Did I say plants? Clearly I meant staff.
I appreciate you immensely.
Who lives in a pineapple with a big stick? ITS A FIRPLE!

I’m seriously proud of how that pineapple came out though.

Did I ever tell you about 6/6/06 when the Kingdom of Jerusalem did not descend upon Farmington, Maine? It was a fascinating moment in my life.
I bet Suburbia would work well for you too!
Always glad to pick the old brain for a board game rec! Hope something here works for you.

Race/Roll for the Galaxy are favorites of mine
I think Bruges is out of print but it was apparently reimplemented as Hamburg? Worth looking at.
Everdell has great tableau/engine and a cutesy woodland animals town theme.
Any themes or weights in particular that appeal to you/your other player?
Isn’t working for me on mobile safari, and I don’t think I have prefers-reduced-motion on at the moment.
Here’s the player marker from #DragonEclipse painted up. I read once that some game (Mass Effect maybe?) tracked the used skin tones and how few were dark, so I decided to go for a tone that could read lighter or darker here.
