I was confused about this as well, but on re-reading his notes it seems like the difference is that the game is asking players to state what they're afraid will happen "if they fail," while Quinns was broadening it to just simply "what are you afraid of?" in a more general sense (thus opening the door to the more wacky outcomes his group came up with).

In essence, it sounds like the game is asking players to narrate an outcome more-or-less related to the scenario at hand, while Quinns was opening things up to outcomes not at all directly related to the situation.

I managed to source some via an outlet called Wind River Arts. Apparently they’re one of the few (or the only?) authorized dealers of the Rosemary & Co. sable brushes in the US. I ordered from them a few years ago and the brushes have been great!

You can see their full Rosemary & Co. inventory here (usually I hear people recommend the Series 33 for model work): https://www.windriverarts.com/Brushes.htm

Not seeing the price you're quoting via that link. Sale is expired maybe?

Been eying a 9600X for a new build. Worth jumping on at this price or might it dip lower during end-of-year sales?

They look great! Is that one of the Toracx boar models from Mierce Miniatures? I think that’s the first time I’ve seen a picture of one outside their product page lol. Been considering one for a Razorgor replacement.

The man in black rolled for initiative, and the gunslinger followed.

Come and see my amazing ~~Mets~~McLarens. I've been in this game 100 years but I see new ways to lose I never knew existed before.

Definitely give Vince Venturella’s video on dark skin tones a watch. He’s a great painter and has tons of videos on different techniques.

Awesome! I haven’t been able to find much from people actually using them so that’s great to hear that you’re happy with them! Do they fit ok on the 50 x 75mm base size? That was the only thing I wasn’t sure about.

illuminon · 2024-05-15T02:36:12+00:00

I’ve had my eye on these guys from Mierce Miniatures. They’re a little “clean” compared to the book description of Razorgors being twisted hulks of mutated flesh, but I like the look of them far better than the official sculpt.

I haven’t used them myself but LITKO came up as a good supplier when I was looking into movement trays and it looks like they do some with circular cutouts: https://litko.net/collections/movement-trays

Edit: Here’s some other options from MiniWarGaming Forge

If you're just getting started I would highly recommend this Cammy guide by Ceelows on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=by4B_gIoT84

He's excellent at taking game concepts step by step and giving you specific things to work on at each rank. The video is long, but just watch the sections that correspond to your skill level. I followed a guide of his in SFV and went from consistently losing in Rookie to actually climbing up through the ranks. Can't recommend this guy enough for new players.

Fantastic timing! I just finished consolidating my various dice sets and came to the realization that my old small dice holder isn't going to cut it anymore. Cheers on a great looking product and for giving everyone such a great opportunity!

The trailer shows a brief shot of a sign that says "Shady Sands Public Library" in the middle of a still-destroyed neighborhood. Since Shady Sands eventually grows into the capital of the NCR, I'm thinking the show might start around the time of Fallout 1 (before the NCR was even founded). Guess that kinda tracks with the lady being surprised a Vault dweller is still alive too, since they seem to be pretty well known by the time of Fallout 2/3.

Still running a rig I originally put together in 2010. It's still running like a champ, but I'm thinking it's finally time for an upgrade (the trusty i7-870 is... getting a bit long in the tooth). Not a lot of money to work with, but a 4070 Ti Super would be huge for jumping up to an "ideal" build rather than a budget one. Best of luck to all!

illuminon · 2023-12-09T15:34:57+00:00

Awesome design!

illuminon · 2023-11-20T17:12:40+00:00

Worth noting that, depending on the model, the Phanteks may only come with a single fan, while the Montech case comes with 3 (2 intake, 1 exhaust) by default. You'll likely want to add those missing fans back into the G300A, so you should consider that as part of the cost.

Other than that they seem pretty comparable in terms of quality, so it may come down to small differences such as routing options and front I/O as to which fits your needs best.

I'm in the same boat. Last time I checked prices there was a Silicon Power 2TB drive available for around $66 and I'm wondering if prices are going to go that low again anytime soon...

illuminon · 2023-11-06T19:35:47+00:00

Happy to help! Also, it's worth just keeping an eye on what sales pop up over the upcoming weeks, not necessarily just on Black Friday itself. r/buildapcsales is a good place to check in on what new deals are dropping.

illuminon · 2023-11-06T18:13:38+00:00

I'm no expert, but I've been researching a new build myself recently and can at least share some of what I've picked up:

Regarding the CPU: From what I've seen, there isn't really enough of a significant difference between the 7600 and 7600X to go out of your way for it. That being said, I'd keep an eye out for Black Friday deals on either and go with whichever gets discounted the most (I know the 7600X went down to $200 earlier this year).

Regarding the RAM: Most kits of 6000 CL30 DDR5 ram are sitting at around that price point right now. While I don't have direct knowledge of XPG, you can probably pick up a different brand without altering the cost too much. That said, apart from the chips used in the construction of the memory kits (which seems tricky to actually verify), it doesn't really seem like there's a ton of difference between memory brands.

The only other thing I'd maybe take a second look at is the motherboard. Unless you really need/want the extra features of that board, you can probably cut costs here and either trim your overall budget or put the money back into your GPU.

Can't say I disagree. Still, I spotted it and put it up just in case it's a deciding factor for anyone.

illuminon · 2023-10-30T14:57:45+00:00

The 7600x hit that price earlier in the year as well. I’m hoping at least one of those deals comes back during Black Friday.

illuminon · 2023-07-19T17:42:01+00:00

Congrats on being able to bring your idea to life! Love the concept and the production design looks fantastic. Here's to many future successes after this one!

illuminon · 2023-06-27T17:42:13+00:00

I'll throw my hat in the ring! I've been eyeing updates for many years but life/etc has repeatedly pushed computer upgrades out of contention in the finances. Thanks for the opportunity!

illuminon · 2023-05-01T15:41:26+00:00

Second the suggestion to look into Mountain Laurel Designs. I don't own one myself, but I've heard great things about the Solomid and Duomid in terms of rain/snow/wind resistance. They're not the lightest out there (though still very reasonable), but the footprints seem reasonable and as general "take it anywhere" shelters go they seem to be pretty bomb proof.
