A good acc to follow for anyone who plays WW2 games - yes, even Flames.
It's my Blueskyversary! Unfortunately I'm not pulling in Twitter numbers over here but there are also fewer porn bots, so truly it's a land of contrasts.

1. It is the year 0079 of the Universal Century.
2. A half-century has passed since Earth began moving its burgeoning population into gigantic orbiting space colonies.
3. A new home for mankind.
4. Where people are born and raised.
5. And die.

I've now painted my Valten, he's ready to ride forth for our Storm of Chaos game (20+ years too late)! Maybe I should do some high elves, really enjoyed the white/blue/gold scheme. #Warhammer
Now I have to paint Archaon! (No conversion this time, I have the model and it's very cool)

I hope the podcast survives long enough for @opensketchbook.bsky.social to release her Cold War Timeline Fuckery game, and it's then as good as her RPGs, and then we get to do an interview episode with her, and the mic picks up how spaghetti falls out of my pockets.

Would be lovely to convert these for some Mordheim-like purposes lol. Wouldn't be too hard outside the ball-carriers.

Battlefront games have all the production values and official mini support that actual good games lack while having none of the interesting rules that would make them worth playing.
At least 28mm World War 2 has Bolt Action: it's not the best, but it's good enough and well-supported.

Love how in the Nerd Game Sphere - outside of board games - the large, lavishly officially supported, huge production values and accessible player base things are all bad.
TTRPG? DnD.
Miniature games? 40K.
Large WW2 games? Flames.
Larger WW3 games? Team Yankee.

Me, wishfully hoping for a plastic-supported Cold War Gone Hot game set in the late 1950s.

If the pod survives and once things on the ground settle down the little, I'll be looking to move it somewhere that isn't Devil Bezos' own Spotify. Any good ideas?

In the Lysander sector last night - the T'au, battered from the Battle of the Eventide, try to sneak a key commander past the Imperial blockade, only to be beset by unexpected Ork pirates. A desperate and chaotic battle ensued, and though many T'au escaped, the Emissary ship was destroyed.

SURPRISE!
I had an idea on Tuesday for how to do the Perfect Space Marine RPG, so I wrote the Perfect Space Marine RPG.
It's both a shitpost and a dead serious game. And it's, uh... 34,000 words long?
Anyway enjoy!!!

Warcradle reply. Only addresses their in-game alt-history narrative, and nothing to address the guy posting "Lost Cause" BS.

I joined the Warcradle Games discord after hearing they had new plans for Wild West Exodus. Unfortunately, I found someone pitching "Lost Cause" BS and the Warcradle rep won't come down against it. Very disappointing and meaning I won't buy into the new edition. (Warcradle reply in second post).
