Re: Frostgrave, Halo Ground Command and other tabletop minis
Thanks for finally sharing more pictures...all these words I had to read were really starting to cramp my style...more cool pictures please.
Would I want it to be everything I love...sure...but that's just not realistic so I'm going to focus on finding things that will make me unhappy and work on fixing those. |

My buddy Chris has bee really busy with work and going back to school, so I haven't seen much of him of late, and haven't gotten to game with him for a bit. He' and his girlfriend just bought their first house a few months ago, so he's getting to learn all the goodness that comes with home ownership. Actually a few younger friends have been going through this lately. I chuckle, as I've been going through the home ownership extra work since 1990. Interestingly enough with regards to the house Chris bought, it ended up being the house that a buddy at work had built with her husband over 20 years ago. She's a bigshot director over Radiology, Nuclear Med, Ultrasound and basically anything imaging for our 2 hospital campuses. She's an awesome lady. It was funny, because the first time I went over to Chris's house, I helped him put a new battery in his car and then did some basing of miniatures for awhile. But he mentioned something about the couple who they bought it from and I realized he was talking about my buddy and her husband. I took a couple pictures inside the garage and the next day at work, I found my buddy and said that I wanted to show her some pictures of a neat garage, and she was like "No Way!" So yeah, it was neat, because my Chris and his girlfriend were having such a hard time finding a house in a certain area because the ones they looked at or put offers on were getting sold right from under them. Chris's girlfriend's mom is a realtor and was a friend of my buddy from work. She mentioned the house to Chris and his girlfriend and asked my buddy if they could look at it before it officially was listed. They did and my buddy and her husband really liked Chris and his girlfriend and they sold them the house. Anyway, that was well off topic, but I was related that Chris is really busy from the gaming standpoint, but he in his spare time, he has been working on a neat paint job of a bust, and I figured I'd share.

Re: Frostgrave, Halo Ground Command and other tabletop minis
Looks cool. Ive thought about doing things like this but I dont have near enough room with all my other games and collectables. My mancave is packed to the max and Ive had to reorganize my shop to fit more terrain. The thought of stuff like that is awesome but it needs somewhere to display it. I only get to decide those things in the mancave and half of the shop.(the wife has half of the shop for her cricut hobby stuff.

Re: Frostgrave, Halo Ground Command and other tabletop minis
Very cool. I like stuff like this. I dont usually do stuff like this because I like to play with the stuff I make afterwards. Thats why I like crafting for tabletop gaming. Turns out I didn't get to craft stuff for me this morning, instead. I've been cracking on with making the latest ARV contest prize. It will be the last one I make, because, I didn't get to craft for my table top instead.

Re: Frostgrave, Halo Ground Command and other tabletop minis
I agree, I prefer to paint stuff that I want to play with. But Chris likes to try different things and experiment to get better at minis painting.
What's ARV? I took down my Walking Dead setup and setup a Frostgrave board. I am hoping my one daughter will play, but if not, I will come up with a solo game. Not sure when though, as I've been really tired lately, possibly due to the insane amount of shoveling of snow I've been doing over the past week, especially the past 3 days. I do have to come up with a scenario for the game mat that I will choose to demo The Walking Dead on at a convention in a few weeks. I may end up using Emma's Diner and go from there with cars, barricades, scatter etc. Want to make it co-op for 2 players trying it out and keep it manageable so that they can play a full game, but not be overly long, because I want as many people as possible to try it that want to. The convention goes from 8am to 10pm on March 3rd, so it will be a long day. But it's for a great cause, as the proceeds from entry fee and other things are going to help veterans in adjusting to life after they get out of the service. 22 veterans kill themselves every day. Here's a quote from the convention organizer on the ArctiCon page: Quote:
Yes, that is a ton! So I'm happy to contribute in whatever way to help with this great cause.

Re: Frostgrave, Halo Ground Command and other tabletop minis
ARV is a new map building group dedicated to making Heroscape maps that are tournament worthy. We hold contests that people can participate in. We use their maps in our tournaments, test them, give feed back on them and put the most balanced and worthy in our tournament pool. I mainly started helping them because I made their logo in photoshop and have been doing all but one of the contest prizes for the group. I since have lost interest in really playing heroscape but decided I'd throw in one more prize. It turned out beautiful. My wife told me not to give it away. Its an Ullar themed dice tower. I'm actually going to get in a frostgrave game in tonight. Possibly a 3 way game. I'm going to post this tower pics and get setting it up.

First of all, thank your brother for his service for me. I was fortunate enough to be in the service from '85-'89 and stationed in Hawaii for 3 1/2 years, so I know how good I had it compared to these folks that had to go to war. I can only imagine that the veteran suicide issue has been going on for a lot longer, as there have been plenty of terrible wars and experiences for people to have to endure and then have to come home and try to adjust. But perhaps with social media and more openness to talk about it, maybe that's why there's more awareness. Also, maybe these days, it's harder to come by jobs since there isn't as much non-skilled jobs available that there used to be, where people could make a decent living over time. A guy that has joined our game group maybe 6-10 months ago is a vet on disability. I'm not sure what his disability is, because he appears fine, but I know he was wounded a couple times and don't know him well enough yet to ask what his disability is. I've gamed with him on a handful of occasions, went to his place last Saturday and will play Concordia with him tomorrow night at our group's meeting place. He's married and is moving into a house next month, so hopefully things work out for him, because while he seems alright, you just don't know. His wife is a nurse in Chicago, so at least the income part is okay. A few weeks ago, a buddy of his from the service was in trouble and had a Go Fund Me page, as he needed help paying for rent. He had had problems with jobs and his wife and kids had moved to a new place for her job, but he needed help getting the last month's rent paid where he was at before he move, as he didn't want an eviction on his record for finding work or whatever. I helped out with what I could, as did my friend. It's tough and sad. My friend Brian V. commented, "a lot of people say they care, but they really don't". That may be directed towards some in government that brag about how they care about our vets, but when it comes down to action, it seems lacking. As for me running a demo of a game at this convention, that's nothing really. There are a lot of people involved in this convention, and the organizer, Ben Starkey is the one really making a difference. He's got people to run gaming events, artists there too and a lot of prize support from various gaming companies. He's done this for maybe 7 years now, though last year they didn't have one for some reason. I worked/demoed one they had 2 years ago at Valparaiso University, as that was the first time I had learned of it's mission. I had heard of ArctiCon before, but didn't know what it was really about until then. A bonus for this years convention, is that my nephew Tyler is going to be demoing his game Cube Hog there. It will actually work out to be a Kickstarter launch event for him, as his Kickstarter for Cube Hog is starting on March 1st. I told him toward the end of last year, that he should make it to the convention and demo his game to help both his Kickstarter, as well as to provide an extra thing for people to check out there, helping support the mission. So he's coming up from Purdue University that weekend for it, though Purdue is only a little over an hour away. So back to your brother Japes. I really, really hope things work out for him. To think that there are so many brothers and sisters, fathers and mothers out there that have to share your worry, is really sad. Thanks for telling us about him, because others will know of his heroism, and it personalizes it for anyone who reads it.
