Here to stay connected with all the best things I love in life. Notably Aikido, TTRPG's, Battletech, and just trying to be a light in the darkness. Philadelphia, PA. He/Him.
Taking a night off of the fancy new (and always incredible) @catalystgamelabs.bsky.social mechs for a 100% pewter, 1999/2000 era Battletech romp tomorrow! Gonna be so much Iron Wind Metal on the hex map.

I know I've been quiet over here, but I had to stop by and share my new favorite Frankenmech that I built out of a busted Dire Wolf and a bunch of SRM/LRM carriers. The Romulus! #battletech

I felt bad that I made custom miniatures for 4 of our 5 Shadowdark players in our Dungeons & Dojos crew, but the 5th was playing a mousling samurai mini I had done a few years back. I feel like this was a good "glow up" on a Scurried Ras-Godai who uses a chain whip.

@evlynmoreau.bsky.social I absolutely LOVED your "Some Magical Cloaks" article in Knock 4, so in our last Shadowdark game I hid the Cloak of the Cat in the attic of a local goblin mayor's manor last week.
Here's Steevin, my son Cooper's Human Thief, and the very moody robe-lurking feline.

Working on some maps for our new upcoming Shadowdark campaign. The Isle of Whispering Snow is going to be set just south of the Isles of Andrik and west of the Western Reaches. Each hex is 2 miles. The PC's will be starting out as hired protectors of the St. Serenia Monastery.

From tonight's Classic Battletech game in the Solaris VII arena. A Charger and Firefly vs. a Jenner IIC and Scorpion. Total bloodbath. By the end of the game, the Scorpion was pinned down, with a max movement of 2, getting kicked each round by the Charger.
