The Sec-Mec Progress Check

It’s Tuesday on the blog, so it’s me again. Me, Ross, and Doctor Mark have played a bit of Underworlds: Shadespire lately. Ross already had a fair bit of experience under his belt – as you may remember from his Sepulchral Guard – but Dr. Mark and I have fallen in love with it, too. […]

The Great Undertaking: Our Sec-Mec Board

I won’t bang on about the tremor. Rather than let my weird shaky thumbs defeat me, I’ve focused my efforts elsewhere. To whit: something I can do at a constant pace, and that I really enjoy, which is painting scenery. This is The Great Undertaking, and will form the core of a huge (i.e. tall) […]

I Didn’t Die!

Look at how low-res Duncan is, right there. Anyway, I got my blood test results back, and then I had to do more tests, and then I got those results back, too. And the endgame from all those results? The thrilling conclusion? Basically nothing. Or, as my doctor phrased it, “not much of anything.” I […]

Blood for the Blood Test

My doctor and I are coming at the tremors issue from significantly different angles. He wants to be reassuring, he sees it as no big deal, and repeats that it’s almost definitely nothing serious. This is great! But it’s in this moment I realise I’ve not been worrying about Something Serious. I’ve been worrying about […]

Tremors (the Bad Kind)

I’ve had a weird week. For a few months I’ve had a very, very faint tremor in my jaw, only really noticeable when I was in bed, and it was such a fluttery, tiny thing that I mostly thought I was imagining it. There was also a faint quiver in my thumbs when I’d swipe […]

Paint Schemes & Precious Lore

As you’re probably aware, we’re starting with Skirmish, with a beginning score of 35 Renown. I think it’s probably worth admitting that over the course of the last week, amendments were (perhaps foolishly) made in a bout of brazen dwarf-lust: Yes, yes, the table is still completely WIP. Shhhhhhh. I’ve been musing over the […]

Age of Sigmar – Overview

For the first half of 2018, the Council of the Aaronorium voted to appease our various fantastical cravings and focus on Age of Sigmar. (Actually, I think Col made an executive decision, but whatever. It still counts.) Here’s what I’m looking at right now: Our Shattered Dominions board is super-WIP at the moment. It’s going to […]

Post #1 – The First Post – Post Primus, etc. etc.

I’m Aaron. Some people call me ADB. I make words happen. Sometimes people buy the words and like the words, which I appreciate. I wasn’t expecting to have to go first with the intros, and I actually wrote mine last, after Col, Ross, and Dr. Mark were all finished theirs. So, uh, hello. This is my […]
