I've been enjoying #Midgard tremendously so I thought I'd write up a review/summary of my thoughts on the game over at the blog. I mostly use the blog for project photos, but it's nice to stretch the writing muscles from time to time. lairofthelagomorph.com/2025/10/09/a... #spreadthelard

My arthritis can't cope with the trip to Newark for The Other Partizan on Sunday, so I made a little tribute video to encourage others to go – and to please post lots of pics online afterwards!

Five painted resin buildings. Middle Eastern flat roofed buildings. One with a small dome. All sitting on a black chair.

A resin Blood and Plunder Sloop. Primed black.
