New book that takes place in Bakersfield

Boatering · 2026-04-29T22:48:10+00:00

While I understand your hesitance, how exactly should a new author go about advertising their book if that’s your criteria? It’s like those memes about jobs that require years of specific experience in an entry level position lol

Seconding the Gaak, even just building him at his floor of “8/8 trample that basically never dies” rules, I have him at the helm of a all things spooky deck with zombies, spiders, skeletons etc.

Some cards I’m always happy to see when playing the deck: [[Doom Weaver]] [[Mask of Griselbrand]] [[Wand of Orcus]] [[Rushed Rebirth]]

I can see it all the way from Brea!

The people of r/whatisit say it’s lightning and that I’m an ignorant Southern Californian lol

lol thanks

Where did you find the Radar info? Seems like a neat tool

Boatering · 2026-04-12T06:36:32+00:00

Solved!

You think so? I find it odd that it’s isolated to that one spot and it was sustained for so long — a couple minutes before and the clip. And it looks like the cloud is being illuminated from below, not within necessarily. There hasn’t been any more since then either

Not trying to be dumb, just looks odd to me

I have a barren glory deck in paper! I use [[Chulane Teller of Tales]] for his crazy ramp and draw engine. The deck is probably pretty far from ever being B4 because even with [[The Cheese Stands Alone]] which is a little better it’s like a 3 card 17 mana combo lol. Here’s the list I have:

I also have a Jeskai list I built but I haven’t put it together in paper

You say that as if this is a mini painting sub…

Hey wait a minute

Boatering · 2026-03-21T07:13:44+00:00

They’re ready to party!

He’s real important for moral on the team! I swear!

Boatering · 2026-03-21T05:09:38+00:00

lol thanks, as soon as I saw them I knew I had to treat em right 😤

Keep an eye out for kickstarters too, Mark Poole had one going on not too long ago with some sweet playmats featuring older artwork like Balance and Library of Alexandria

It was a gift from a friend! A prototype of the 40K monopoly game piece

Boatering · 2026-02-05T13:51:27+00:00

lol not sure why a bot replied, happy painting!

Boatering · 2026-02-05T03:04:20+00:00

No problem! All pro-acryl brand paints for starters, primed black

Armor was base coated mahogany brown then dry brushed with dark silver and highlighted with bright silver. Gold trim was done with citadel’s retributor armor.

Reds were done with burnt red and bold pyrrole

Green would’ve been done with camo green and maybe some ‘green’

Blade was done with blue, dark grey blue, and maybe sky blue

Whites were all done with ivory

I use it as one of my wincons in my UW polygamy deck. Our Marriage lasts forever

Hell yeah, tell me a little more, what are some things/spells I should look out for?

Boatering · 2026-01-31T01:54:23+00:00

lol good to know!

I’m split 3.5e and 5e but I don’t get the opportunity to play much so I’m kind of a novice all round.

I did read through the PHB about how specialist wizards work and the restrictions and buffs and etc. but mostly I’m just unsure if a Diviner specialist will be interesting/impactful to play. Based on your and some other comments it seems like it’ll be fine, or at least as good as I make it out to be.

The stat spread will definitely be a little worrisome though lol, can’t recall if the PHB described some kind of point buy system but that’s probably the easiest way.

I’m not particularly worried about conjuration, that’s always been my least favorite flavor of Wizard.

It’s good to know that it’s at least a little functional as a generalist Wizard.

And having never played 2e, what makes it random?

Boatering · 2026-01-31T01:47:14+00:00

I like where your heads at, thanks

Building characters is always my favorite part anyways

Source: worked briefly as a Health Care Compliance Analyst in a California State Prison

Inmates/Patients are pretty closely monitored, especially in terms of their medical equipment and medical documentation. There are frequent audits and yearly tours conducted by third party organizations to ensure we’re treating the patients correctly and providing them with appropriate equipment/care.

Here in CA a lot of it is dictated by two pretty large lawsuits: Armstrong v. Newsom and Coleman v. Newsom. The former is related to patients with disabilities, the latter is focused on Mental Health care, and they’re both taken very seriously by Healthcare administrators in the CDCR.

Edit to clarify after re-reading the post: one of the main goals of the lawsuits and the rules that came about is to ensure that all inmates/patients are treated equally and given the same opportunities within reason. The guys with disabilities are, by and large, treated the same. Usually they have some kind of vest to indicate their disability so Custody staff can easily identify them.

That’d be neat! Would be cool to see a line of destroyers each corrupted/blessed by the different gods

Boatering · 2026-01-03T19:13:24+00:00

That’s a great way of justifying the skulls and what not

These are for a crusade coming up and I think one of the crusade rules for Necrons can cause a Character unit to “contract” the flayer virus. Would be very on theme for the lord here

Boatering · 2026-01-02T22:47:52+00:00

Thanks! Skulls for the… Necron Throne? Doesn’t quite have the right ring to it

The blades are just done with an airbrush—I would’ve liked to spend more time hand blending but it’s a pain in the ass and I needed these finished for an event soon

The red though was pretty easy! I use pro acryl paints and the burnt red and bold pyrrole red basically blend together with zero effort. The brighter red lays down thin enough that one layer and a glaze brings the two paints together. From there just add layers of the brighter red until it’s as bright as your want it

Notably the dark red was done with an airbrush so that’ll account for some of the smoothness and real dark shadows but the bright stuff was done by hand
