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 think he has about 10,000 points of undead, unpainted. He used to sell units online, and stopped about eight years ago, when somebody SHOOK HIS WORLD! I tried Warhammer, and hated it, but I like Kings of War just fine. No complications for the sake of complications. I've been thinking the rules would work for big stompy robots with no real changes.

Adept Legacy Posted June 28, 2020 Share Posted June 28, 2020 Game yesterday went well. Boy am I tired. I was not expecting "put the King in a sack" as a valid tactic. But my players pulled it off. So, if anyone sees a bag at 28ish mm scale that can hold roughly one humanoid, I will probably need that in the future. Ran two adventures end to end, with a pizza in the middle. I got free pizza. As a DM, that's a win right? 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marvin Posted June 28, 2020 Share Posted June 28, 2020 So there are Nolzur's flumphs. That was kind of a surprise. I was also surprised to find they've already released a ship about the size of the Sophie's Choice. Kinda wondering if I should get one of them instead of a second one on the KS (though I clearly should not get any more at all lol, wtf am I even going to do with these). 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go to Michael's and Walmart or whereever, buy some glue, and all the size grades of craft sticks, About $20 bucks worth. I bet you could be "done building ship!" before the KS version arrives. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Succumbed? The French adopted the Metre in 1840, but by then it was already in use by the US Survey of the Coast... Now back to Celsius... The original name was Centigrade, from latin Centum(100) and Gradjus(steps) because it used the freezing point of water at 1atmosphere pressure, as 0 and the boiling temperature to define 100. Today's definition is a bit more elaborate, though, It was renamed in 1948 to honor the Swedish scientist Anders Celsius who proposed the scale in 1742. (He use 0 as boiling point, though, and 100 as melting points of ice. ) Fahrenheit, was defined by a German scientist, and '0' is the freezing temperature of Brine(equal parts ice, water and salt... what the eff? why Ice is just water in a different state, and weight and density varies by a lot of factors), then he added the freezing temperature of water at 32, and a rough guess of human average temperature at 96. The wackiness of that scale is probably why the Germans changed over so quickly... 4 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or, perhaps it had something to do with when does a human become a corpsicle? But, it will involve whatever he was studying. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gadgetman! Posted June 28, 2020 Share Posted June 28, 2020 Germans have strict rules about what goes into beer. Brine or salt was NOT on the allowed ingredients list. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brine or salt was NOT on the allowed ingredients list. Maybe he was trying to figure out ways to keep beer from freezing, or to keep it colder? Not necessarily putting any of that into the bier… …or maybe it was to do with wishing Baltic ports didn't freeze up. Related to his field of interest whatever that was.
