Image The finished Tatzlwurm (which the party has not yet found)

Image And two of our adventurers, Illiamace (on the left) and Serenity (on the right).

(I'm not posting pics of the minis used for the other two, as they as out of the box D&D Miniatures Game minis. The Dragonblade Ninja, and Defiant Rake)

Is that based on Martin's books?

Just the first one of the series, actually. 574 pages of RPG goodness about A Game of Thrones. :D

With the shipping, about $80. The MSRP was $100, and I also got the back issue of Dragon magazine with the Westeros articles, and an extra map of Westeros. :D

It isn't thread necromancy, this hasn't been archived. :D

I just recently got a sci-fi space battles wargame (tabletop, hex grid) called Starmada. It's by Majestic Twelve Games. (They also have sci-fi and fantasy land battles games.) Starmada is actually rather good. It's a naval skirmish scale, so you'll probably have like 4-8 ships on your side (not counting fighters). It handles a diversity of sci-fi stuff, allowing you to heavily customize the rules. (In particular, it can also support naval battles by changing the movement rules, as well as battles through the "luminiferous ether", which might also be good for handling zepplins and fighters, but I haven't delved that deeply.) Also, Amarillo Design Bureau has published three Star Fleet Universe books for Starmada.

I'm of a mind to start doing Lensman writeups, or maybe Mahou Galaxy vessels. I'm also now interested in their sci-fi land battles games - Quantum Legion and Wardogs. Apparently, Quantum Legion handles things on a closer-to-strategic level, while Wardogs is more tactical (and has some focus on mecha).
Further affiant sayeth not.

Wikipedia surfing.

Independent music. I'm like a few others here that have music CDs that are in languages I do not understand.

Reading. As in a lot of non-fiction stuff.

I tend to collect tarot cards.

My miniatures painting process shots.

Ducks in a Row

This is most of them primed (the giant is not for the campaign, but was primed and got in the line up).

The others are Nicu, our Half-Vistani Monk; Vesorianna, a prominent NPC from the AP we're running; Vladimir, our Dhampir Wizard; and Terezinya, our Changeling Bard. I'm hoping the miniature for Sofya, our Caliban Warlock will arrive today.

Vesorianna 1

Vesorianna 2

Vesorianna 3

Vesorianna 4

Vesorianna 5

I'll be adding a base to her later, and sealing her once that's done.
