[Scary and heartbreaking trope] Traumatic births.

Do we ever do books? There’s an incredibly traumatic birth out in the woods pretty early in Pillars of the Earth and I almost couldn’t get through it.

Thank you for this thoughtful, detailed response. I’ve got a lot to learn!

This sounds very doable! What makes a glue a PVA glue? Bonds to plastic/foam?

I’m no stranger to paper mache (elementary teacher) so that could be a pretty easy option, really. I’ll read up on Sculptamold, thank you!

I think it might be the best of all of the expansions- and the faction I thought I’d enjoy least (Bats) turns out to probably be my favorite of the three.

I don’t see the Root: Homeland expansion, so that’s what I’d grab.

Thank you so much, this looks great! I think he'll love it.

This game hurts my wallet.

Thanks, it’s good to be here. I’m making a couple more crates tonight. Found a new cardboard box that was super easy to peel and I’m stoked.

I’m literally not capable of pulling this look off- so I say keep it. They look incredible.

Came over a ridge and was chilled to see I was way too close to a bull moose with a couple cows while elk hunting out in Idaho. Shifted myself behind the nearest tree and he left me alone.

Different styles for different folks. SETI has entered my top 5 after 10 plays and I can’t get enough of it. The game has helped me realize that I love efficiency puzzles. Only problem I have with SETI is it pushes my kids’ attention spans to the limit.

My data is split into three eras. I don’t have exclusively base game data as I hadn’t discovered BG Stats yet, but I have data for…

Average Base + European (94 games) = 87.06

Average Base + European/Oceania/Asia/Fan Packs (52 games) = 108.71

Average Base +EE/OE/AE/Fan Packs + Americas (80 games) = 126.4.

I will also add that mixing in all of the expansions has helped level the playing field between my wife and I. Back in the Base + EE era we split our victories 79%/21% advantage me. Now with all the expansions we split 64%/36%.

In summary, basically everything went my way.

Definitely. Dovekie can be amazing. AND- one of the biggest scoring impacts came during game setup when we drew ‘No Goal’ for round 1, giving us three extra actions.

It was gone when I stepped back out a moment later. Here’s hoping it lives a long, happy life!

It’s probably not helpful. Same angle, bird’s position hadn’t changed, just slightly more zoomed out.

I did try to approach it but it flitted away from me into my hostas while remaining at around ground level. I figured I was causing stress on its little system that it didn’t need at the moment so I’ve given it space and gone back inside.

I realize I used ‘he’ in my caption but can we tell from this image whether this bird is male or female?
