Tomorrow, we will talk about this photo.

A red Ford Pinto hatchback angles across a narrow gravel forest service road, a blue enduro motorcycle on a rear hitch carrier. Tall firs frame the view. Beyond them, a towering ash cloud from a pyroclastic density flow billows skyward. Photo by Richard Kent Lasher, May 18, 1980.

Our new lich queen comes in two flavours - with bone wand or flaming staff - and is always incensed that their proof-of-concept decentralized dungeon model allowing anyone to spin up their own instance has resulted in the wrong type of adventurers running around the place.

Coming soon!

variant model in red and black robes, carrying a horned staff in its right hand that holds two lit candles. the crown is gold in this case.

That is an extremely BSky method of advertising that figure! Also noted for when my slowly progressing undead forces need actual leadership...

It is #Caturday and the Floof continues to be absurd and photogenic. Persist, but pause to gaze upon the floof. Remember that Nazis need punching, Canada will never be the 51st State, alt text should be included in all images, trans rights are human rights, and all cats are best cats.

It's very good. Lots of period/genre flavour that keeps it from being just another skirmish system, and I always like a co-op system.

Mini of the month competition October - Terrain-ing day

Your mission this month involves no minis at all. Instead you are to create a terrain piece from scratch. Old school style. So cardboard, foam, plastic bottles etc.

Rules on skeet 2 (please read them)

First run, 4min some seconds before being mercilessly gunned down between two dilapidated houses. I rly am bad at first person games, but the atmosphere is glorious and grim.

I'm utterly terrible at first person shooters, but this one has such a fun weird premise and it's been on my Steam wishlist for years. Yesterday seemed like a good time to finally start being hunted by robots in tophats.

Also! Sir, You Are Being Hunted is on sale in the Steam Autumn sale, and there is no more autumnal experience than fleeing between the hedgerows chased by tweedy British robots.

And hey, it's a game you should probably own if you like anything I have ever done.

Still Caturday here. Have a cat pic.

A fluffy brown tabby partially on her back shows one fang to the camera. She is squinting and blurry as she rolls around on her cat condo like the fluffy goofball she is.

Because Henry knows that fascists suck, but not in a useful way like a vacumn does. Also, red and black are the classic antifa colours.

Crab.

Sarah McAnulty, Ph.D. @sarahmackattack.bsky.social · 20d

I wanted to get a video of this ghost crab but every time I got close to their hole they scuttled back in, so I tried getting clever with it. I made a little sandcastle and shoved my phone into it, hit record, and walked away. Crab was VERY suspicious of this addition to their environment.

So Red Box Games can join the list of "Decent People Don't do Business with Fash", clearly.

ian.fenrisgames @fenrisgames.com · 27d

you know what? fuck professionalism. Red Box Games here telling you they don't want your business.

right wing miniatures manufacturer in the US on a racist, bigoted rant in the wake of Charlie Kirk's death. Public post on his Facebook page. fuck you Tre Manor, you fucking nazi.

Brian Burger @wirelizard.bsky.social · 27d

The very last thing Kirk said was racist.

The second to last thing he said was transphobic.

Red Box was vaguely on my radar as "neat fantasy figures I might get to some day" but now I can take them right off, clearly.
