Alternative Armies has a great line of single piece resin buildings, but they seem more geared for town life than the bucolic village that I’ve been assembling.  Of course, any village worth its salt will have a decent tavern for the local yokels and the passing murder-hobos looking for a...

Every once in a while, just to keep my lie detector sharp, I like to tune into NPR for a little while.  It’s a great way to stay dialed in to the latest iteration of whether we are at war with Eurasia or Oceania.  Based on a few snippets...

Another productive week on the production front with two and a half terrain items completed.  The first one is a bit of a ‘gimme’.  This simple resin bridge is a Kallistra piece that needs no prep and no basing, just prime and a quick dry brush. The village church took a...

He’s too big, and he gives a voice to too many truly marginalized comics fans. The SJW entryists who manage and create comics live in a fantasy land where they’ve redefined “comic book fan” to exclude those who have read comics for thirty years and have money to burn...

My big box of fantasy grows ever larger.  Because of the recent additions, I found it expedient to streamline all of my terrain boxes.  The collection now includes one box of general ground terrain (drop cloth, woods, roads, streams, etc.), one box of sci-fi specific terrain (billboards, buildings, urban...

Last November, on a whim, I picked up what I thought would be a fun walk down Conan Memory Lane, but that turned out to be a disappointing stroll down I Must Have Missed Something Boulevard.  After a few months and a few memory nudges courtesy of a lot...
