Thanks! I made it myself! I got the pedestal table legs from a thrift store, then built the rest with minimal power tools and like $150us of stuff. I have a thread on bgg somewhere detailing it.

Taking a picture of my kids' latest dungeon before I clean it up! These Hirst Art bricks have gotten way more use by my kids than me.

That they're releasing rules to play for free is a pleasant surprise. The rulebooks were yesterday, and now they're releasing the army rules for free.

#newaos Order rules are up for Age of Sigmar 4e!

There's a lot of good reworks of rules to make things simpler and faster, while retaining the feel of things.

Think I need to pop an arm off of my Cities of Sigmar general, and give him a pistol though.

I love that Dreamzzz is basically A Nightmare on Elm Street, for kids. (Specifically Dream Warriors)

What this article leaves out is that if you hand your unlocked phone to a police officer, they can legally search it. Unless companies develop a method that allows you to show officers insurance cards and driver license without unlocking the rest of your phone, don't.

My neighbor has a mini-flag in his front yard with Trump giving the middle finger. Under it is the text "Vote Convicted Felon 2024" It kinda sucks here.

Family boardgames on Sunday morning!
I'm still really impressed by the Dungeon Mayhem Monster Madness box. Fits the base game, mini expansion and itself, all cards sleeved.
Kids still clock @d20plusmodifier.bsky.social 's style on the original set's characters, too.

Moment before disaster, cat edition. This little cat tree off amazon is sized for kittens, the whole thing flipped when he got on top of it. We're going to have to lean this against a wall or something.

I got through most of it as a pure mage originally, and now I'm playing a heavy armor pure strength knight with 2handers. 25 hours in, and this is so much easier than my mage run. It's amazing. (Might get the dlc if i eventually qualify for it)

My new Age of Sigmar army storage solution! I wanted cheap and stackable, so i have a $10 steel board (~17in x 11.5 in) inside of an $8 Sterilite 32qt bin, attached with velcro. All of the minis are magnetized.

Can't invite people ober to play games because my boardgame area currently has train tracks going under a dungeon and through an active Crossbows and Catapults warzone, with Lego scattered about.

I was 7 when i got the orig Legend of Zelda. Topdown, d-pad, two buttons, and I still struggled. My 7yo is playing the newest (TotK). Twin sticks, two triggers per side, dpad, ABXY, start and select for menus, and combinations of button presses to manipulate and select. And she's doing so well!

Wonder if it's just a videogame visual shortcut. "Plague marines are extra tanky... how do we communicate that to the user? Give them a shield, ok, done."

Those have been around for decades. Yeah, basically you just take them out of the freezer and chuck it in the kids lunch bag and its thawed and ready by lunch. Zero work or extra packaging needed. (I've never had one though)

I just read the synopsis. How close is it to Jet Li's "The One"? It sounds like a pretty similar idea (except without the "Can't go to worlds where you still live" bit)

This reminds me of how, as a kid, my brother and I had a great time coming up with ways to play with a rules-less copy of Tower of the Wizard King that we got second hand. (You would open up the door to the tower and stick a mini in there and pull the lever, and it would spit out a different one.)

I had this game as a kid! It was great. You could morph your character into others to overcome different issues. That's the whole tower thing, you put in yourself, pull the lever, and a new 'you' pops out. My copy probably got sold in a garage sale in the 90's :(

Lavender in my backyard is blooming! The biggest oldest one, which is a different type, isn't blooming yet, but it has a lot of tall flowers going. Smells nice back here.

Caps off the drink automatically to hold in the fizz longer. It also results in a lot of shattered glass in the streets as people really want that marble. (Not sure if they changed the bottle since to make it easier to extract)

Mages basically had a timer going before they were forced to rest (mana, blue tear bottles eventually ran out). Bonking dudes on heads though is an endless resource that just depends on you getting bonked less. You can just wander the country side and explore freely without being forced to rest!

I have 110 hours or so in Elden Ring as a mage. The first like 90 hours were 95% dodging and casting, 5% stabbing easy dudes. I never beat the game, but got close (?) Restarted as a knight with shield and mace. This is... so much easier? You just clonk dudes on the head, and soak damage???

Loving the #newaos stuff, but there's just something dumb to a bunch of these sheets.
Okay, the lance has "Charge (+1 damage)" on its statline.
Then there's a whole passive cutout that is a lot of words for "Charge (+1 rend)".
Why not simplify it to "Charge (+1 damage, +1 rend)"???
KISS
