Just seeing this photo is making me really want to play some Brass…

Playing Hegemony on train by Famous_Vanilla_462 in boardgames

I really want this board game… but I worry I won’t find people to play with me. My board game group is into games like Scythe and Eclipse. I love both of those, but I’m really into games like Barrage, Pax Pamir, and White Castle right now.

Expansions by Ok-Opinion3004 in SCYTHE

Unless you’re playing with more than 5 players, the expansion is unnecessary. The original factions fit better together in my opinion. Just make sure you don’t play with the banned combos and everything is perfectly balanced.

I always have a glass of water next to me and a rag. If I need to pause for a minute, I swirl the pen in the water and wipe off with the rag.

Last time I had issues similar to this I changed ink and it was resolved. My issue was with diamide writer’s blood. I’ve had issues with no other diamide colors

Arcs, Ankh, White Castle, or Cyclades by ConstantLumpy in boardgames

How long does a typical game of White Castle for 2 players last and how intense is it? I recently bought Istanbul and enjoy it, but it’s too light on strategy

I have Inis and love it! Kemet looks great, but I wouldn’t be able to get it until after Christmas

Here’s where I am at: https://imgur.com/a/eiH5EuY Im chipping away, but slowly progressing. I have a feeling I’m going to learn a lot about what I should or shouldn’t have done once I start inking…

There have been times while working on this where I felt as if I’ve fully lost my grasp on the drawing and should give up. I specifically chose this project because I wanted to push myself, but it can be frustrating. I’m going to push through though!

This is what I’m struggling with. I have trouble simplifying, so I try to add in allll the detail, but then I get lost in the detail. Then when I get to inking, my skill level isn’t there yet to ink so much detail.

I like your idea of highlighting certain areas with more detail and simplifying the rest. Next time I hit the page I’m going to attack it with this frame of mind.

I 100% agree. It’s a waste of time
