So I rarely do event haul posts, but I was cleaning my condo after the whirlwind of the last few conventions and realized I picked up a few minis.
Looking forward to some real hobby time after PAXU. Plenty of new minis to build and paint up.

Writing up a short list of folks I want to work with on my TTRPG charity streams in 2026 — people I’ve never played with before or it’s been quite a while.
If you’re a TTRPG performer and want to express interest in 2026, let me know 👀

Cool announcement today, looks like IDW Games is back. I enjoyed my time there and was bummed to see when IDW closed the division down years ago.
Love seeing the Godzilla RPG as their first announcement and designed by Jarvis Johnson, Gav Thorpe, and Mark A. Latham. What a line-up.

What a fun day of Twilight Imperium. 11hrs later and Andrew Seely comes out on top, in a hard fought and well maneuvered game. Congrats!
The new expansion adds all kinds of new rules and strategies, going to be fun checking them out more.

This is a REALLY cool project with a bunch of worlds in different genres you can play. I wrote a superhero one with new concepts and characters, and the ONLY way to get it is if they meet their stretch goal!
