How does this even help the use experience, @instagram ? Awful, unhelpful decision that directly makes my ability to use this app worse.

The biggest lesson I've learned I've learned as a tabletop GM the past year or two has been SUSTAINABILITY.

Painted minis, fancy terrain, even fancy color paper minis haven't been sustainable for me.

I took a pretty lo-fi (but still kinda fiddly) approach for running Hexingtide, but I'm looking at making it even more abstract and simple for the upcoming sci-fi game I'll be running.

I've scaled these silhouettes to 54mm scale (where the common DND & Warhammer scale is around 38-32mm). So the details hinted at in these silhouettes should be easier to identify.

It's a big step back in complexity from my previous paper minis, but a little more time-intensive than the flat portraits I make for Hexingtide.

But, I was curious about running paper minis again. We'll see how this plays out.

Plus, this sci-fi project has fairly specific character design details. Easier to hint at that in silhouettes rather than spend time on fiddly details.

(Note: the silhouettes are not for commercial or public uses. I'm grabbing and compositing from all over to generate these.)

Oops. Practice knife discipline even while working on tabletop hobby projects! My dear departed pops would not be happy about this.

I call this post "Will really needs to finish painting the rest of the terrain for the #10mm skirmish project."

The new Hexingtide themed dice jail being put to work at last night's game session!

It's the second session the table has had these, and my players' dice have never rolled better. I think they are intimidated!

Attempt to make sprue goo with just the sprues and 100% acetone.

It didn't exactly work out. The plastic is the consistency of thick, un-viscous rubber.

Back to the drawing board!
