I think there's enough of us to start a red-eye express painting event. Sunday after hours, don't really go to bed, luggage is packed and waiting. Paint one of your new miniature acquisitions in the hotel lobby with whatever you have. Fatigue, groaning and soreness is expected. Cursing the airlines for such early flights is encouraged. Sounds like a plan! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like fun but I will be missing. I'm driving home after the farewell dinner 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mnemonic Posted July 9, 2019 Share Posted July 9, 2019 I think I will be ready for ReaperCon, but I messed up a little bit on what to submit to the MSP Open. It all started when I offered to paint the mini of another player in my weekly D&D game in my quest to eliminate monochrome minis. I don't charge a penny, but just do it for fun/practice/and maybe to sucker introduce others into the painting hobby. The problem is this mini is really coming out nicely (I might have jinxed my self on the remaining parts) and am leary in making sure I get it back in time and competition condition just before the con. It is certainly my top contender to submit to the MSP Open. The good news is I own this mini already as I just happened to have the same model he is using in game. So he's not ever out of a mini and I'm not holding anything "hostage" I will likely just buy another mini and paint it again so I can make good on all accounts. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cygnwulf Posted July 9, 2019 Share Posted July 9, 2019 I'm suddenly today very tempted to try to dig out my old 'reverse dungeon' for AD&D 2nd edition. Problem is I'd be teaching the system to everyone too so it might not be practical for a gaming session.... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Take the unpainted one that you have, give it a quick tabletop job, then hand that one to the player. Keep the nicer competitive painted version for yourself. Or, finish painting both to your best ability and keep whichever one you did the better job on. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Splitting hairs, but I am painting the one I own with the premise that when done I'd swap it out with his bare one. But if this medals I'm not sure how I'd feel about parting with it. So the risk is showing the current one as WIP and then deciding to give him the quick "table top" version later. So I'll just buy another one and paint it again. Won't be the first time I've painted the same thing twice (essentially) Spoiler Edited July 10, 2019 by Mnemonic 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still remember 2nd ed. and reverse dungeon was way cool 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buckyball Posted July 10, 2019 Share Posted July 10, 2019 What games are people planning on playing? I have signed up to run Rangers of Shadowdeep. I could run Frostgrave again. Or I could do something totally different like Thud and Blunder. buckyball 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
