It's pretty weird, that I woke up today thinking about all kinds of stuff. I just haven't been happy at all recently. Kinda shying away from gaming in this post I wanted to take a few minutes to jot down some stuff about heroes. Growing up sure I had my comic books and rock stars, but as I've wandered my path I have always known what was cool.

Like I said I was feeling pretty down this morning. I was scrolling through my Netflix selections and found a video on Christian Hosoi. Now I wasn't a huge skateboarder. But so much in the video goes into memories of my youth. Guys like Chris Ogles and Tommy Sherer were fucking superstars to me. One spot in the Hosoi video talked about how he ripped his shirts up all the time. Do you remember the sleeves tees from the 80's. Kids wearing the sleeves ripped off the t-shirts like a headband. I don't know it was just so weird to see that and remember the guys I used to hang around.

It is like my friendship with Randy Hunt. He carried himself like a rockstar. We were never going to make a ton of money and tour like a big band, but it never really mattered. It was charisma and swagger whether we were at the house or a local club. It was because of him I stood on the stage at the Norva. I've only seen a few bands there, but that day I knew I was on the same stage as Ace Frehley, Dave Mustain, and Rob Zombie. I often forget just how fortunate I am.

One thing Christian Hosoi did well was market himself. He turned something he was passionate about into something he could make money at. I keep telling myself that I need to figure it all out. I need to find something to do to make a living. I want to be more than what I am. Maybe the clearest truth is I don't. I am already as successful as Randy, Chris, and Tommy. I think I have already made it. Now back to SWTOR, think I am gonna get my jedi off Coruscant today- tomorrow I need to bury my uncle.

War Machines in Age of Sigmar

Well, I've been trying to figure this out because with a dwarf/elf army it becomes pretty important- usually like first turn important. After our first game it became apparent that war machines are very dangerous in Age of Sigmar. Something has me puzzled though- and it is part because of the streamlined rules and in part because of conflicting reports I've uncovered on the internet. Let's start at the beginning. WARSCROLLS & UNITS “All models are described by warscrolls, which provide all of the rules for using them in the game. You will need warscrolls for the models you want to use.” “Models fight in units. A unit can have one or more models, but cannot include models that use different warscrolls. A unit must be set up and finish any sort of move as a single group of models, with all models within 1" of at least one other model from their unit.” When I first read this it seemed very apparent that you would never have more than one unit in a warscroll.

On the Trail

As we moved through the forest, we had a sense that we were being watched. The trade route in the Drachenfell is ominous enough, but pushing off the road into the wood definitely gives you a much bigger sense of dread for those who are sensitive to those things. I remember thinking that Otto was probably blessed that none of this seemed to phase him. He just plodded along jingling and crashing through the primeval forest without any notion of fear or stealth. Dox was particularly quiet. I wasn't entirely sure what he was focused on. He is often very intense like this. Kind, despite his infernal origins, but also very focused and serious. It's as if he has a lot on his mind. After traveling for half the day, the trail led to a clearing. The ramshackle tower seemed quiet, it had a scaffolding staircase, and stretched to the sky over three stories. Concealed in the leaves was a large bear trap. The steel spring trap was set to deter any pursuers, but we considered it w
