SPECIAL NOTICE
Malicious code was found on the site, which has been removed, but would have been able to access files and the database, revealing email addresses, posts, and encoded passwords (which would need to be decoded). However, there is no direct evidence that any such activity occurred. REGARDLESS, BE SURE TO CHANGE YOUR PASSWORDS. And as is good practice, remember to never use the same password on more than one site. While performing housekeeping, we also decided to upgrade the forums.
This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Nah, not really into miniatures. Though I admit to liking the art and miniatures of Malifaux and Cadwallon... but not enough to buy the miniatures let alone paint them. The most I'd want to do is write up multipart tactics battle adventures for minis, and play them, maybe photograph them. But buy the minis, paint them, diorama the thing... takes up too much money, time, and space compared to my other interests.

You know, people keep comparing non-TSR D&D to deck-building in Magic: the Gathering. But maybe it\'s more like Katamari Damacy. You keep sticking shit on your characters until they are big enough to be a star.

Quote from: Festus on July 09, 2024, 12:49:24 AMAbsolutely! I have minis that inspire NPCs, monsters, entire encounters or adventures. I also get inspired by monsters in various games or books, NPCs I've created, and then kitbash and paint minis to represent them. I'll hear a song or piece of music that gives me an idea or sets a tone that might give me ideas or evoke a color palette for a mini. For me there is a very productive interplay between the visual, tactile, audio, and verbal media - each inspiring or embellishing the other.

I have one mini - old Ral Partha figure called the "Dwarf with No Name" - holding a crossbow, wearing a serape and cowboy hat, smoking a cigar. He inspired an entire campaign mixing western tropes and aesthetics into a fantasy world set in a region of mountains and high desert.

Greetings!

That's awesome, Festus! Yeah, I am the same way. I have a collection on the computer of weird art images of places, fantastic castles, beautiful forests, and such like. I get so many ideas for places, scenarios, monsters, and characters just going through such images! Between that, and my collection of miniatures, I can always stay busy! *Laughing*
