What a Day!

So I have been painting and painting and painting on my new ship! It’s coming along very nicely. I’m so excited to eventually showcase it to my players once it is complete.

Miniature Restoration Project: Mistletoe

And some of you may remember, one of my favorite projects that I do that are miniature related is to restore my parents’ old pewter miniatures.

[Insert Fill-In Post] Explanation to Follow

So my Sunday group has finished Rime of the Frostmaiden, and I looked up something for them to play, and settled on running Dragon Heist.

My Tuesday group, having migrated online, has changed some. We added two online players that add a lot to the game. In any case, it is, like my Sunday game, all online.
