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. B...

One army, Two Games

I have been debating about how to do this. The main thing is deciding whether or not I really want to bother with it. But all of my daemons are currently legal for Warhammer 40k and Age of Sigmar because they share the same base size. So the issue is, with the return of Warhammer: The Old World the bases are really screwy. So let me explain. If I try to transfer over my daemons the oval bases for the most part won't fit on the square bases. In addition to the roughly 25 Bloodletters I also have about 60 Pink Horrors and 9 Flamers. If I rebase any of this stuff, then I won't have access to it in another game. So with these models I am basically restarting from scratch on my Infantry. I have thirty more Pink Horrors and nine more Flamers on the way, so I am simply going to start them on new 30mm bases if I want to use them. If I decide to redo my Khorne daemons, I might honestly - but that's probably down the line. So stuff is going to work a lot better. As illust...

Tickler

Versatile Trickster So in dealing with Ghul there are a few things we need to understand. First off there is an Arcane Trickster ability that completely changes the way the spell mage hand works. Mage Hand Legerdemain Starting at 3rd level, when you cast mage hand , you can make the spectral hand invisible, and you can perform the following additional tasks with it: You can stow one object the hand is holding in a container worn or carried by another creature. You can retrieve an object in a container worn or carried by another creature. You can use thieves’ tools to pick locks and disarm traps at range. You can perform one of these tasks without being noticed by a creature if you succeed on a Dexterity (Sleight of Hand) check contested by the creature’s Wisdom (Perception) check. In addition, you can use the bonus action granted by your Cunning Action to control the hand. But it doesn't allow you to cast the spell as a bonus action. The spell, if you follow the link a...
