I’m curious to know if anyone in the #minipainting sphere can help me identify these wee army men with a very colonial marines aesthetic. Pewter from mid to late 90s if memory serves which it rarely does. I’m thinking they were in an unbranded bag in a bargain bin. Airdry clay base on right front took a whack and crumbled. Also are some larger monsters finally getting attention after waiting since 2020 when I went all in on #SoloRoleplaying

Although I've never actually tried #soloroleplaying I'm fascinated with it. Especially loving Joy of Wargaming's ADnD series. Makes me want to learn and play #adnd AND play solo! https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL_z29m150g5r5TvlCLzlaBTcK7YZiTWPf
I was thinking to get a game of Umbra in at lunch time.
This is a space themed version of Delve, also by Anna Blackwell from Blackwell games: https://www.blackwellwriter.com/products/umbra-a-game-of-final-frontiers
You draw cards from a deck and draw a map with a tower defence mechanic.
Then I re-read the intro and I was absolutely put off.
I know it is mostly flavour, but it could easilly be about being the alien life form defending their territories instead of the colonist defending stolen territories.
And then the myth of a relic/weapon that has to be searched would also work. Then it is just part of said alien culture, not something you heard from some alien in a shaddy pub.
I hope that if Anna Blackwell does another version, the premise will be turned on its head.
Karard Brekkon, increasingly bored and desperate city guild scribe, prepares to embark on a life of thieving adventure on day 18 of #CharacterCreationChallenge 2025. Another game missed years ago, I'll give Advanced Fighting Fantasy a #SoloRoleplaying try.

Day 10 of #CharacterCreationChallenge 2025 is a good justification to start re-re-re-rebooting my '80s/'90s D&D Mystara characters for a new #soloroleplaying campaign. Let's meet Bran the ranger of Darokin https://parttimegrue.blogspot.com/2025/01/bran-ranger-of-darokin-35e-d-mystara.html

Following up on my not getting into #ttrpg actual plays -- just realized that I actually enjoy #soloroleplaying actual plays. Maybe it's just because I like watching the creative process, or no funny voices, or maybe it just says something about me! #dnd
