How did the Dungeons and Dragons channel go from characters and game talk to being filled with dick art and porn adverts?
*sigh*

The 50501 Movement has planned protests at all 50 state capitols and the U.S. Capitol on Presidents’ Day at noon. While mainstream media isn’t covering it, many YouTubers have stepped up to provide coverage.

Well, got my first DOA bottle of Army Painter fanatic paint that I bought a couple weeks ago.
Tried to spooge some into a palette and it felt chunky with no paint coming out.
Opened it up and after inspection it looks like the seal ring on the nozzle broke somehow and dried the paint...

Haven't been painting much since either discovered (a little late in the game) the video game Hell Let Loose.
It's been feeding my WW2 interest while playing and is a fun challenge.
Gonna get back into painting soon.. Just one more level in rifleman, first..

I'm with Sonic on this one, my go-to recently has been Band of Brothers (I'm rewatching the series for the...5th time?) which gets me in the mood to play Hell Let Loose.
I hope there's a Pacific theater version of the game soon
People of BlueSky! Let’s get to know each other better. What’s your all-time favourite TV show? 📺

Not sure if a ten part miniseries counts as a 'TV show' for these purposes, but there's not a year goes by I can't grab the DVDs and watch Band of Brothers through again.

I think I need to do more painting.
I've recently been sucked into the game "Hell let loose" and flexing my WW2 leg muscles.
Because you have to run everywhere..to get shot by some dude you never see.
War is hell.

Printer go BBRRRTTTTT.

Reinforcements for my Ghost Bear Touman.
I discovered I was light on Stormcrows models this weekend when I needed 2 for our game and I had 0.
So now I have 4, along with Dashers,Cauldron Born, 2 Arctic Cheetahs, a Loki & who doesn't need Jenners?

So I made danishes for the first time on Thursday.
Day of, they weren't bad.
This morning you could hurl one of these and commit murder.

Can't wait to phase those citadel out in preference for Army painter and Two Thin Coats!

Took advantage of some extra Christmas money I got for hobbies and sales at my local hobby store to stock up on #armypainter fanatics to add to my library as well as some inks that were being sold for 3 bucks each.
Time to play music loudly while I dump them into my brushrage app and organize!

I'm still moving forward with my home spun campaign, and I have to say that using chatgpt to help streamline my writing and expand ideas is actually surprising me (I historically can't stand AI)
Getting used to using it, I can certainly see it's value when figuring past creator's block.

As this year comes to an end I'm hoping the next will be a little more positive. I'm looking forward to ending this work comp 🐂💩 & getting back into working again.
I think I'm going to try and stream painting more & delving deeper into that side of things.
Happy (and safe) New Year everyone!!

Many thanks to my wife for picking up a printer tent for Christmas!
I can finally #3dprint again despite torrents of rain and near freezing temps 😁 no more smell since it's piped outside with a fan! 🎉

Now to play catch up with all the #gaslands weapons and #boltaction queue in my list..

I've been experimenting with making my own campaign for 5e and have started with the basics, everyone needs a base of operations! I've created a hamlet that sits just off the Long Road in Faerun, adding it near the Sword Mountains opposite of the Mere of Dead Men.

Usually it's cute when your 45 pound pitbull snores.
But not when she out snores EVERYONE in the house.
At 6am.
Over a thunder storm.

Made my first prime rib roast, not too shabby. I waited a little more doneness.
Also had stuffing and home made mashed potatoes.
Marionberry cobbler in the oven now to finish the night
