The Sock-Monkey As Alone

  Storm crow: or, a glimmering in the dark. What you will need: 4-d6 and a D-20 dice, at least five dwarves models and at least ten goblins models. These should be about 28mm but as a grid based game doesn't really matter. A piece of paper for book keeping and a pencil. Setup: acquire a chess board and place on level surface. Take 4 d-6 and hold in a closed hand four inches above the chess board. Open hand and align the dice without rotating them to or centered on the nearest square. The d-6 represent treasure chest and the number they rolled is how many how how many hundreds of coins are in the chest. Deployment: you wills be facing 4 + 1-d6 goblins roll a d6 and get number of models acquired. Place the goblins any on the first two rows of the opposite end of the side of the board your dwarves will deploy. Place the dwarves anywhere on the first row of the opposite side of the board of the goblins. The point of the game is to get away with as much treasure as you can without ...

  Been a long day so far as I am very tired and probably will not sleep for a while more. That being said I had an idea while sitting listening to dungeon synth trying to decide what to work on…. And I think I will do a daily development blog for the game I am designing (I will post it in the evening.)  Still intend to do the weather report (named in memory of David Lynch’s daily vlog). But it will be a general update on life and the happenings of such. Though I have not worked on grim metal bedlam ruleset directly today. I have been cutting up miniatures and painting them badly. They are specifically being made to be used for play-testing the game. And are painted in a very whim dark way.  Bought an army painter beginners basing kit so I could flock up some models. I feel it was overpriced for what you get but it came with all the essentials needed to do what I need to do this month. The last couple of days the dwarf skirmish game has been on my mind more than ...

  Butchered, Utterly destroyed four of my station forge models I built and painted to play test Grim metal bedlam.   As an experiment I layered washes and dry brushing and it got muddy and messy. Utter frustration lead to grabbing of the model clippers and cutting off the head of the model. I found some left over chaos marine heads from some night lord conversions I did years ago and glued it on waiting for my green stuff to arrive so I can clean the sculpt cuts… while not great it is ok. The other three I have more mixed feeling about. I based them but they look pretty bad. The problem with using so many washes and dry brushing in layers is there is no coverage of the middle ground of the three dimensional space unless you’re heavy handed with both the washes and the dry brushing. On other notes I am thinking of reviewing the mad max movies in the next few weeks: because it is my favorite franchise. though may wait I have to make sure I am not repeating myself too much....
