Ugh

Haven't had much significant hobby progress. Didn't play my last tournament because of the flu, and signed up for another that I don't plan to attend. I do have my to-do list for the Adepticon team tourney though. I have had only two non-tournament games of 6th edition. I have none of the confidence I had while playing 5th. And every tournament has pressure to get models painted in time. Basically, I haven't enjoyed playing or painting in quite a while. A hobby is supposed to be fun and relaxing. That probably explains why I've been spending much more time with tabletop roleplaying games and video games. And since this is pretty much my geeky hobby diary, I will post about that crap.

Roleplaying....I was doing this well before wargaming entered my life. I am usually the game master and have developed my style over the years. Just the act of presenting a story you have created to a group of players with unique characters is a challenge. It took me several years to learn how to do it well. I have read about the subject and borrow storytelling techniques from several games over the years. I can talk for hours on the subject, but much of that won't find a place here. This will simply be a place to post what I am currently doing and working on.
