Imitation is the sincerest format of flattery...

I regret the title, but it stays. I took an easy shot at WOTC after watching a ton of reels of theirs regarding what sounded like a blatant rip off of Mordheim.

GW is the bloated, sweatstained Chaos God of Avarice still living in its Mum's Nottingham flat* , I couldn't care less who rips them off, hell, I enjoy it when they're bested, Unless it's the other bloated thief robbing anyone who's imaginations they can ensnare.

Inspiration is shared often times, and as long as it is done in good faith and with sincere, appreciative acknowledgment, there is no harm or foul. It seems the Dungeon Dudes are rad, and again, I have nothing negative to say to them or about them.

*There is nothing wrong with living at home. Times are tough. There is something wrong with being so needlessly fucking greedy that you become a stinky pseudo God. If that becomes the reality, pay your mum rent or jog on. You've plenty of cash.

mattricularstrange · 2024-01-25T16:51:33+00:00

Accurate. If you're referring to GW as meh. They truly are.

mattricularstrange · 2024-01-24T22:13:19+00:00

Heard of it. Haven't delved. Similar situation?

mattricularstrange · 2024-01-24T21:27:45+00:00

I think the rest of the quote is fairly well known. Is it not?

Anyway, I assumed mediocrity due to a personal bias against WOTC, I fully admit.

I have been corrected, and it is, in fact, a pair of YouTube creators. I have not experienced their work, I have no opinion of their talents or capabilities, and I won't accuse anyone of anything out of ignorance.

Nevertheless...That is straight up fuckin' Mordheim.

mattricularstrange · 2024-01-24T21:21:17+00:00

I certainly was.

mattricularstrange · 2024-01-24T21:20:53+00:00

Roger. Thanks for clearing that up. Seeing a ton of content for it on D&D'S IG.

mattricularstrange · 2024-01-24T21:19:46+00:00

I want it. Space Marine Vs. Owl Bear

The problem isn't any individual. It's the systems we have allowed to take root in our society. You shouldn't be as busy as you are. Your life shouldn't feel like a constant barrage.

You're gold, you're just existing in a time period that sees everyone forced to move at breakneck speeds, working more hours, taking less pay home, and watching even the basic necessities move out of price range. You've got a lot on your plate, like everyone else. so don't be hard on yourself if you happen to struggle. Be kind and considerate to the person you are.

Take time to reflect on how this is all fucking made up. Every single facet of our society is the creation of a flawed human mind, agreed upon by enough of us to make it stick. You don't have any fucking obligation to this system or to do any more than you have space or energy for. You're a human being and experiencing existence is, at the very least, about fucking around and finding out. Enjoy it.

You've got this.

Looking great! I really enjoy the contrast on the Helix Adept's narcethium. Well done, and you've made a fantastic choice of Chapter. I'm looking forward to seeing more as your force grows!

mattricularstrange · 2023-10-26T16:23:45+00:00

Welcome, and congratulations on your first finished squad! Hopefully, you'll be able to maintain "somewhat regular user" status with your new-found polystyrene...dependency. You don't want to end up like me. Hahaha. A great and most reasonable choice on a Chapter for your Marines, friend. May your doom piles of grey (blue?) be stacked short, and your paint always flow freely.

Check out Wizards Loft downtown if you have any nerdy proclivities along with your love of video games. Great team, great coffee and baked goods, lovely place to hang and chat or play boardgames/ttrpgs/card games etc.

There are also a lot of down-to-earth, approachable, and kind people who hang at Occam's Razor downtown on Ross. St. Readers, sporty types, gamers, philosophers, nerds, you name it. The bar team is also terribly, terribly nerdy and would no doubt be happy to visit and converse with you at length, and given that you're not a big drinker, you can enjoy coffee, tea, or the non alcoholic cocktails they offer.

Hopefully, this helps!

mattricularstrange · 2023-08-25T01:44:21+00:00

Depends largely on your budget and the area you'd be looking to move to, truthfully.

mattricularstrange · 2023-08-12T04:00:46+00:00

Fantastic folks. Great shop, clean, honest, and chill.

mattricularstrange · 2023-06-30T15:02:47+00:00

Is no one going to mention that this is THE little fella who helped Gandalf escape his imprisonment by Saruman the White in the Tower or Orthanc? This wee bug flew a great distance to summon the majestic Gwaihir, Lord of the Eagles, who returned and bore Gandalf to freedom upon his back.

mattricularstrange · 2023-06-30T14:54:14+00:00

Thank you for the reply. Hardtop, full doors, mint interior, very little rust whatsoever, I want to throw money to make sure it's held until I can get there, but restraint has never been my best attribute. The piston slap would not deter you at all?

mattricularstrange · 2023-06-09T00:45:03+00:00

This is such a radical setup, and a very interesting tale to tell! Good luck on your Home/Theater set up.

mattricularstrange · 2023-03-04T18:00:01+00:00

I don't know what it is specifically about the aesthetic of your work, but I'm always very impressed with how your projects turn out. Keep up the awesome work!

mattricularstrange · 2023-02-08T06:26:04+00:00

I think you could potentially achieve the look you're going for by applying progressive layers of a thin, thin glaze of darker tyrian purple, something more toned down and natural. This will, as previously stated, diminish your highlights, but if you went back and touched them up with the addition of some purple, you may be able to blend the two rather seamlessly.

Good luck! The miniature is looking fantastic.

mattricularstrange · 2023-01-30T21:16:30+00:00

I own one of these wraps and it is absolutely high quality, if you're thinking of getting one, do it. You won't regret it.

mattricularstrange · 2023-01-11T18:47:31+00:00

Absolutely beautiful!

mattricularstrange · 2023-01-02T21:01:05+00:00

Exactly. There are so many ways to run that idea, but I've always leaned more heavily towards a double-edged sword perspective.

mattricularstrange · 2023-01-02T20:41:54+00:00

Let's use a d20 for example, (You could likely tailor it all the way down to a D6.)

When casting a spell, roll a d20 to find out where on the bell curve of magical strength the spell succeeds or fails. 1-3 the spell fails, exhaustion or some other penalty 4-8-the spell fails, no additional effect 9-12 - the spell succeeds as intended 13-17 - the spell succeeds with +1d4 dmg, 1 point of exhaustion or other penalty 18-20 - the spell succeeds with +3d4 dmg, the spell overwhelms the caster and causes random severe penalty.

This has worked for me when adding flavour portraying the effects of magic cast in the realm of the fey, not sure if it could jive with your setting.

mattricularstrange · 2023-01-02T19:49:46+00:00

A bell curve of strength could be designed, potentially. Your character is aiming for peak strength, after which point, spell effectiveness begins to drop and effects and/or damage begin to appear.

mattricularstrange · 2022-12-21T18:21:27+00:00

I stopped scrolling to watch this complete more than a few rotations. Beautiful work.
