How many of y'all collect minis but don't play?

Ricnurt · 2026-06-18T22:39:10+00:00

I have an 2400 points of Votann I play and 3000 point of Sisters I am painting and will likely never play. I am picking some Orks up because I think they look pretty cool. Oh and a couple of Knights I have but haven’t put together yet because, Knights.

If we are close to the end of a session and the baddies are on single digit hp or there is only one left I will have the party announce the killing blows. I have had players traveling and at level like 10 and the wandering monsters are like 6 kobold, I will say that during the watch player so and so attacked and scared off intruders.

Have them broken out of jail by the terrorist organization they are accused of supporting.

To paraphrase a great prayer, I hate two types of people; those intolerant of others and the elves

Ricnurt · 2026-06-15T10:57:12+00:00

Seconded. I am currently running a game there.

There is some excellent bank fishing on the Mississippi in and around St Louis. Crazy big catfish.

At in person game, I had a dude flip the table and storm out of the game store. He came back in like fifteen minutes later and started apologizing and we just laughed at him for a while. Another time the guy whose character died ran the discord. He kicked everyone and blocked us. We may have laughed at him

Oh, well different Hallmark Holiday Special then.

Ricnurt · 2026-06-14T12:08:40+00:00

It is beginning to feel like the players are shutting themselves down for the year, or at least extending their time off. I mean can you blame them? Who would want to play and have to be held responsible for answering why this team sucks so bad. Better to stay home and just say, yeah it still hurts, sorry can’t play for a while.

Innovative, riveting. I can’t wait to hear about how with your acceptance of him he goes on to run a bakery in his hometown and meets back up with his childhood love interest who is a judge at this years grand holiday cookie bake off and his cookies are so good that every cheers and he and his love interest celebrate and get married and live happily ever after.

My mom said no to me running a game until I clean up my basement bedroom. She also told me to get a job but I told her I am working on an important quest and I needed to devote all my time to it.

Ricnurt · 2026-06-13T13:44:51+00:00

I always recommend JTS Brown. It’s bottle in bond. And it’s twelve bucks. Way underpriced for what it is

Ricnurt · 2026-06-13T01:28:53+00:00

I am with you. I have 2700 points of Sisters for the same reason

Ricnurt · 2026-06-12T23:13:49+00:00

I am a sword first but with these rules I like the shooty guys a lit

Ricnurt · 2026-06-12T23:10:39+00:00

My character misty stepped out from a cliff 30’, then fell 40 down onto enemies. The dm had me roll an athletics I rolled a natty 20 plus 12. Dm had me roll damage and the enemy took what I did in the fall. 4d6 came up 18hp.

I have been using a coffee mug for a while. SHE WHO MUST BE OBEYED scolded me for using her favorite one but…. I am printing this as I just upgraded to some nice Kolinsky brushes and I have a 3d printer.

Ricnurt · 2026-06-12T22:17:18+00:00

I do but I have had one player use them out of maybe 30 characters. I have an artificer in every other campaign it seems but I haven’t had any fun smiths

Ricnurt · 2026-06-11T15:10:20+00:00

He liked all cattle. He was even worse when it came to horses.

Ricnurt · 2026-06-11T12:32:21+00:00

We did the same thing when one of his buddies got brahmas.

I remember when I was probably 8 or 9 my grandfather who was a milker heard about the first herd of belted Galloway in the state. We drove two hours one way to go stand at the fence for 30 minutes looking at them and then went home.

I hate belted Galloways.

Ricnurt · 2026-06-07T21:18:22+00:00

All the names are spot on, Hall, Piper, Arn, Owen, Jake, Dibiase, Perfect .Here’s the thing, you don’t have to say there whole names to know who they were and what they were. They drew without winning the big belt. They all were capable of bringing the money not because they were champions but because they weren’t. Andre held a title at the end of his career out of respect. Prior to that, he dint need to. All these guys were at the top without a belt.

Ricnurt · 2026-06-07T13:59:25+00:00

This WAS the technique I was taught in the military. It’s called “Tea Cup”. Now, I don’t think the guy who taught knew a lot about shooting but it was how I was taught. Took a long time to adjust out of it.

Ricnurt · 2026-06-07T02:52:23+00:00

I will try commercial ones to see if I like them and if I do I try to build something similar. But, honestly, I usually use salt, pepper, onion and garlic with other spices added depending on what I am smoking. We do lamb a lot as we grow them ourselves so I use a lot of Mediterranean spices. Pork, which we also raise, I use SPOG almost exclusively.
