[QUOTE=Hrugga;933800]Oh, right, gotcha. All I saw on this end were two little blank boxes.
Blog update is now up, with a photo of this afternoons' very pleasant three hours' work on the Sakbe road towers. Ran out of beam clamps again, so it's dinner time while the glue dries on everything.
I do like building stuff like this, but I will freely admit that I'm, probably pretty far out there on the edge of gaming...

chirine ba kal,
You realize your book could be a photo album too?
Like a graphic novel but with photos instead of drawn pictures.

Agreed; in a lot of respects, the miniatures have been a very important part of the story for decades. I used to do miniatures 'to order' to suit events in Phil's campaign, and on more then one occasion a figure or figures that I'd done 'on spec' became part of our adventures.chirine ba kal,

I had planned, from the beginning of the thing, to illustrate the action in the book with photos of the miniatures, especially as that way people would see what we saw on Phil's game table - I still have all those original figures, so you can see Captain Harchar the way Dave Arneson saw and played him.
On the other hand, the 'push-back' I've gotten over the years about my use of miniatures in RPGs hasn't been very encouraging no matter how I try to look at it.
We'll see, I guess.

"Let me tell you something you already know. The world ain't all sunshine and rainbows. It's a very mean and nasty place, and I don't care how tough you are, it will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it. You, me, or nobody is gonna hit as hard as life. But it ain't about how hard you hit. It's about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward; how much you can take and keep moving forward." - Rocky

But Chirine is less of a professional curmudgeon than I am. I've been in training since I was about 10.

I appreciate the sentiment, and agree with the latter part of it, however...
I married the "ugly woman", as she was described to me by more than a few of the people who know us, and we're still married after 25 years. As for the "wailing of the stupid", that's the reason why this is my only forum presence and why I don't participate in both the larger Internet and the vast majority gaming events that I'm told I must attend in order to be a real gamer.
And an observation, if I may be somewhat crude, but in the 'old curmudgeon' spirit I find myself in these days: I have found, in my now sixty years of life - tomorrow is my birthday, by the way - that 'ugly' and 'plain' women are usually better in the sack then 'pretty' ones. The former, in my experience, appreciate the opportunity to excel, and the latter spend all their time worrying about mussing their hair.

Agreed. I really hadn't started becoming an old curmudgeon until I started interacting with gamers again in the early 2005 - 2006 time frame; but under the influence of so many of them I really think I've completed the transformation from 'nice guy chump' to 'cranky old curmudgeon' over the past decade. There have been so many transformative moments in that time period, and they really have had a wonderful effect - I spend so little on gaming, these days, down from $250 to $500 a month to the current $10 to $25. So, I'd say that it's been very beneficial. The FLGS might have a different viewpoint, of course, but so it goes...

Viz gaming... I have come to really really miss what we had at the University of Minnesota for those 15 years or so. An open venue at no cost with a crowd of up to 40 people to recruit from... I think most people would gleefully commit bloody-handed mayhem for a chance like that.
