Got a Mordheim league game tonight. My Wood Elves are facing off against the Sisters of Sigmar. The board is set! Get to use the new river we painted up last month!

Damn. Some post offices are shoestring styled, incorporated into other things so that can happen.

My only other advice is to ask to speak to a postal inspector. Most larger post offices have on in nearby cities.

John Bultena🧙‍♂️🔮 Professor of TTRPGs @onlyplaywizards.com · 1d

My only other suggestion would be to call the last known post office it went through. I've had luck with that before.

Don't know what past John is up to, but good on him. The last few times I've come to the office my coffee maker was cleaned out.

John Bultena🧙‍♂️🔮 Professor of TTRPGs @onlyplaywizards.com · 1d

Feel that. I think it is the onus of feeling like it is justifying one's own existence, which is tiring unto itself.

I’m a blanchitsu painter now and you know what that means; photos of minis so heavily edited you can’t see the paint scheme #inq28

A heavily edited and very grungy picture of a tech priest dominus with a white robe and tall hat. The hat has a red check on one side. There’s a blue alembic and a glowing yellow lantern on his back. He has a big gun with copper coils, and a steel and golden axe. There are yellow wires all over the place and floating on top of him is a servo skull with a glowing yellow eye. There’s a heavy, grungey filter making everything kinda yellow brown, with a lot of rough texture.

#Halloween art post: my work before final painted colors on the cover to The Witness novella by @jmdematteis.bsky.social — as happy as I was with the painted color for these images I did for the book, there is something I find equally appealing about seeing the work in the original painted grey.

Marketing is a big part, but also can be part of the artistic vision. Then you get folks like Wax Mage that turn the making of the record itself into an entire art. There is an aesthetic to it, for sure. But so far as practicality, few & far between besides eco-vinyl.
