Question, Feb 27th—

Miniature Monday: Minis often need bigger, better, or different bases: did you know that the Base Boss 2 Pledge Manager closes down tomorrow? (on the 28th!) Are you locked in? 

I did not know that, but since I didn't pledge for it that should not be unexpected.

Question, Feb 28th—

28: Are you glad Feb is over?

 

29: How many of the TSR game worlds have you used or played a character in? (Faerûn, Krynn, Greyhawk, etc.) 30: Can you name them all without looking them up?

 

31st: Have you ever painted a Mini intending it to be a portrait of yourself?

31st: Have you ever painted a Mini intending it to be a portrait of yourself?

 

28th: I could care less, really.

 

29th: TSR D&D days were days of youth, so I'm sure I've made a character for everything TSR made back then. That includes D&D worlds (thou now that I type, we never did get into the Dragons as PCs setting (Council of Wyrms) or Birthright. Also made characters for Kara-Tur, but we never played in the setting, other then it was the eastern part of FR & the characters made their way over to the western side). We even made characters for Top Secret SI & Star Frontiers.

 

The way we did it back then was: 1 player was the Forgotten Realms DM (our main DM), 1 player was Greyhawk & myself was Ravenloft (my main AD&D setting) thou, I'd dabble in Dragonlance as well & Mystara when I ran basic D&D. Other friends would play, just never would run anything.

 

31th: Nope, never have I wanted to see myself as a mini, let alone play that mini.

28.  Mostly. Except for the part where I'm going back to work in late March. That part could have taken as long as it wanted to....

 

29. At least the three you listed, possibly more.  I wasn't GMing back then so didn't pay a huge amount of attention to where it was run.

 

30. Nope, I could name a couple but that's it.

 

31.  Nope.

28: February was okay

29: Original D&D

30: Don't remember

31: No paint, but does putting together a G.I. Joe in riot gear count?

28: I ABSOLUTELY DESPISE Winter; SO I am delighted to see the end of February...it snowed today to punctuate the end.

29: I  played in or ran games in Greyhawk, Ravenloft, Spelljammer, & a couple in Dragonlance.

31: Nope; I played games to escape myself not to bring it to the table.

-- Kind of, this isn't my favorite time of year, but I wish Feb was 30 days like the rest of the months. I came in a bit short on my RCL entries. 

 

-- None. Zero. In those early days we made up our own worlds. 

 

-- A couple of times, in the sense that there have been figures with hair like mine that I have painted the same color.

28: One month closer to retirement. And death.

 

29: Greyhawk, in old school 1st ed modules. Whatever setting the other TSR stuff was set in, Star Frontiers, Gamma World, etc.

 

31: No but I drew a portrait intended to be a portrait of myself 😄  https://forum.reapermini.com/index.php?/topic/85220-cashs-2019-art/&do=findComment&comment=1829257

Feb.28: ..............It'll be back.

 

Feb 28&29: I've played in all of them. I played a bit of Krynn with my brother's brother-in-law for a a session or two, it was a one-off and not very memorable. I've played several adventures in Greyhawk, since a lot of the original D&D Adventure Paths were based there. Lazlo, Intrepid Halfling Bard was the first one I played there. Also played a lot of Faerun, was one of a set of half-drow twins in Myth Drannor that were sons of an old ranger character. Names escape me right now, it was quite some time ago.

 

Feb.31: Not at all, since there aren't really many clean-shaven, non-pointy hat wizards out there. Still waiting for Reaper to create a Pezler the Polychromatic figure. (looking at you, @Reaper_Jon)

28: I dont care either way. 

29: Forgotten Realms/Faerun, Krynn, Greyhawk, Ravenloft, Spell Jammer, Athas (Dark  Sun), Mystara (D&D basic, expert, etc), Kara-tur (Oriental Adventures), and Zakhara (Arabian Adventures). Way back when, Kara-tur was intended to be a part of the Greyhawk world, although now it is in the Forgotten Realms.

We also played Top Secret/S.I. and Gamma World.

30: Yes, I just did. Unless you mean naming all of TSRs games/world settings, in which case I would probably need to look them up to make sure I didn't miss any we didn't use. 

31: no.

Question, Feb 25th—

Savory Saturday: What belongs on your cheeseburger? (and what things do not?)

 

 

 

 

I'll try anything on a cheeseburger, as long as it's something I can eat. The more interesting stuff the better, as long as it doesn't get so big I can't fit it in my mouth.

Stealthy Sunday: Where is the oddest place you have ever found your pet?

 

On top of a neighbor's three story house. No idea how he got up there, but I had to climb out on their roof to get him down.

28: Well, it was a very busy February. So sure. But it's looking like an even busier spring, So I'm guessing I'll eventually be missing my February levels of busy-ness.

 

29: Probably most of them, but Greyhawk is the only one I can remember right now.

 

30: Nope.

 

31: No, but one of my players shared his business head shot with the group recently, and his character mini in our Shadowrun-ish world is due for some touch ups. So I'm going to paint it to match his professional photo. That should illicit a few chuckles around the table.

28th Not really.  Has not been bad except for too little snow.

29th Greyhawk and Forgotten Realms.  Also played in Critical Role which is not a TSR world.  My freind wanted to play D&D(ish) 5e and the only one we could get into at the Con was Critical Role.  We had not played in a D&D game since the mid 80's (although we did play Pathfinder until they lost their way)

30th Did not look them up.  Might have missed the Video Game Worlds if they were TSR.

31st No, the only figures that could stand in for me are Wizards, and I do not play Wizards.

Hmm.  Not sure about this one.  We used to have a pet miniature rabbit as a kids.  We kept him in a 30 gallon tank.  Inky was well behaved or so we thought.  We discovered gnawed light cords one afternoon while moving a coach.  Apparently Inky would hop out of his tank and go on a hop about most nights and be back in his tank in the morning,  We moved the tank and added an insurmountable obstacle to stop that.

Nope! Nope!  I currently have more bases than I can see using for the foreseeable future.
