Very true, and now that we're in Phase 2, there's a lot more open. 51 minutes ago, NebulousMissy said: I have some bok choi, some leftover takeout Chinese, some leftover pork roast that needs to be used today, a half dozen onions, and a pint of homemade turkey stock.

TheAuldGrump Posted June 27, 2020 Share Posted June 27, 2020 6 hours ago, Crowley said: I have come so close to buying that army a number of times. I even have a spreadsheet where I figured out the optimal combination of sets to get the most minis for the least $$. Problem is, I'm not that big a fan of big battle games... I am fond of it. Rules are very simple at their core, and it doesn't play like a big army game, in the sense of Warhammer Fantasy. Miniatures are not removed as casualties - Nerve is the equivalent of wounds, but not. Basically, the units are treated as large miniatures, not masses of individuals. I would suggest trying out the free rules, using pieces of card or paper as the units, to get a feel for the systems. My current army is a weird one from the summer campaign a while back - goody two shoes undead. Plus, it ties in nicely with their skirmish game - Vanguard.

We may be close to 3 but with the rise of cases & the dumbelfs in a county or 2, north of us attending a church service when it was locked down (like around 180 positive cases out of that, facepalm). So who knows when. 6 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dilvish the Deliverer Posted June 27, 2020 Share Posted June 27, 2020 Today has been a good day so far. Awesome Wife appears to be beating the migraines that have been beating her down for the last week. We went out in the light rain to wind proof the yard (high wind and tornado warning for this evening). My silly computer team fighting game (Raid: Shadow Legends) is having a bonus chance to draw some of the best champions in the game. I had two of the required gems to open and got two of the best champs in the game. And we survived a wicked hard fight in my Zoom 5E game with my high school gaming group. We were exploring a necromancers lair. The three of us (3rd level War Cleric, Lore Bard and Hunter Ranger) and our Dog Soldier NPC took out the two apprentices (and the cook unfortunately)with nary a scratch. Then we come to the large summoning chamber with 4 armored skeletons and a Skeletal Minotaur. That fight goes fairly well due to a well placed fairie fire spell thanks to your truly. Then Necromancer comes in and animates the bone naga in the corner. That fight was more difficult. The dog soldier was running around pouring healing potions into the cleric and ranger (cleric dropped 3 times, ranger twice), I attempted to Suggest to the Necromancer to go study as his naga had this (necro made the save). I then quiped that he save because he had to mind to alter and he fell down laughing (Tasha's Hideous Laughter) and run up and stabbed him. Most challenging fight to date. I get to drop off my new High school grad at a friends house for a birthday party (they work together so the risk of Covid-ing really doesn't change) and then I will sit down and paint my Starfinder character for next week. Just one of those days where everything goes good and pushes back the worries about what goes on in the world. Gonna hang onto this feeling for as long as I can wring it for all it's worth. Hope everyone is having as good a weekend. 15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've had everything from mid-70's to just over 100 degrees, cloudless sunny skies to thunderstorms, and the occasional blustery day wandering through for variety. Are you sure you didn't accidentally move to New England? 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SparrowMarie Posted June 27, 2020 Share Posted June 27, 2020 Spent the morning and most of the afternoon painting. Didn't get very far because I kept changing my mind and redoing what I'd already done. Vietnamese Beef Bowls for dinner. 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator Chaoswolf Posted June 27, 2020 Moderator Share Posted June 27, 2020 It stayed grey and cloudy all morning. When i decided to take a chance and mow the lawn it started to rain, so I switched gears and went grocery shopping instead. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pezler the Polychromatic Posted June 27, 2020 Share Posted June 27, 2020 (edited) Very hot here here today (32o C) and super scorchy. Thunderstorm should be blowing in and go on for about 3-4 days, if all is to be believed.
