 Picked up this gate and walkway at the Dollar Tree today... Called "Fairy Garden Figurines"...

All of the other scenery is out of scale including the fairy figures, which are extremely twee and goofy-looking (although probably detailed enough to paint if you felt like it), but these two pieces seemed like they were worth it for a buck twenty-five each. Casting has a lot of bubbles in it, but it's terrain, so...eh.

Also picked up a Pandigital PANSCN08 Handheld Wand Document Scanner at the Goodwill for $10, since it was half off...

Assuming it works, I'm hoping it'll be useful for scanning in my hand-drawn Dungeon23 maps - of which there are multitudes, lol.

I have acquired the PC game Age of Wonders 4 and a jury duty summons for June 5th. Probably need to dig up a medical excuse for that one due to the looming knee surgery in July.

Bought my current PC 3+ years ago.  It was good deal, except only had 16 Gb of memory, but the plan was to upgrade that almost immediately.

Finally ordered 64 Gb a couple of a days ago and just installed it.  System seems happier already, and hopefully my slicers will run a bit quicker, and not crash if I leave 2 open for more than a day....

How is AOW -4?

I still play III and have all the previous installments.

Is it good?

Got a bunch of boxes, mostly hobby related.  10 kgs of resin.  10 kgs of filament.  A new UV curing light (just like my old one that I have away when I got my curing station.....before I'd thought of printing mando armor, let alone heard of smoothing filament with 3D printer resin).  A container of graphite powder, for doing metal parts/helmets on mando armor.  And a box of assorted bands of different resistances and handles and the like, so I can do the new shoulder exercise that physio gave me.

Loooooot!!

 

Started to run low on my current bottle of resin, so ordered & received today: 2 lt of Sunlu regular resin (light grey), the life-blood of my resin printer...::D:

Also along with the order I picked up a couple of hobby items. Oddly, I was going to order these from Micromark, but the free Prime shipping on big A swung that choice their way. Micro-mark store on big A: flexible xacto-blades. These are for flash trimming. We'll see how well they work.

Pic N Sticks. (2 each, total of 30 sticks) These are plastic matchbook style sticks with reusable sticky wax on the end. I have a few minis I need to paint up that will benefit more, not being glued to the base before painting. These will be perfect for that.

Finally from Micromark on Big River (thou tbh, I think it was a different seller), Fit-Grip style from Excel of Xacto blade handles. These will be for the flex blades as Micromark recommends this handle for those blades. I'm hoping the handle is ergo as it says, as I've been looking for a more comfortable handle. Note the flex blades don't have a long tang on them, so they don't fit all standard #11 handles.

Finally from big A, my wife told me to order this shirt, as she said she would get it for me. I think it says it all. ::D:

FLGS called about an hour ago & a order I placed last week, came in today!!

 

My players have been wanting to see these cards in action, as they love the critical roll decks I use

 

Nord Games Fates & Fortune deck

 

Fates-and-Fortunes-Deck-Front-and-Back.j

 

Whenever a 1 or 20 is roll outside of combat, you either give a 20 (blue) card to the player or in the case of a 1(red), I get to take a red card. The cards are played as shown on the card.

 Just backed the Nations & Cannons KS to produce The American Crisis, a setting book for 5E to run historical adventures during the American Revolution.

I just downloaded the .pdf versions of the core N&C rules, and Flintlocks & Fulminates, their firearm and grenade rules. It also came with a .pdf copy of their Misfire Deck, a fumble deck that you use when you roll a Misfire with a firearm (each firearm has a misfire rating of 1-3, and if you roll one of those numbers on your attack, you end up with a Misfire)...

 

Haven't had time to check them out yet, but the creator and devs have been posting over on ENWorld, and what I read so far over there convinced me to back their upcoming book.

Latest order from Gnomish Bazaar came on Sunday of all days (USPS).

 

Order mostly was for the Red Slaad & Rask, but seeing they only had 1 in stock on Grushnal (big boy btw) & the bases, I pulled the trigger for the order.

Ordered yet another 3D printer, a Elegoo Neptune 3 Max, as soon as they came back into stock on the Elegoo site.  I'd been just about to order one a few weeks ago when they went out of stock.

Supposed to ship the beginning of June so we'll see if it gets here before I head to Montreal for F1 or not....

Ordered a few hobbying supplies from Jackson's!  Sadly they'll take a while to get here, but such is life... 

 

- Faber Castell Pitt Dual Marker exclusive set (because it comes in a soft case with extras, versus the standard cardboard box) 

- Jackson's Onyx brushes of various sizes

- Jackson's Studio Synthetic brush set of 3, and set of 4

- Jackson's 142 pencil case

- Jackson's 27 roll pencil case

 

Almost like I had a theme or something with all this ^_^
