October ‘24 In Review

I started the month just getting over the first cold of the school year, and got the second cold a week and a half later. Sorry, scratch that, not a cold, bronchitis. 2 Weeks worth of coughing, mucus, shortness of breath. It SUCKED. It wasn’t COVID level suck, but it wasn’t good. In spite of that I managed to get the coffin done, as well as my kid’s costume. The spider isn’t going to happen this year, but I can work on it later.

I voted for Harris (and blue down the ballot) on the first day of early voting. I can’t wait for this electoral season to be over, but I’m also dreading it. Keeping my fingers crossed…


Gaming
I am, amazingly, completely caught up with my Stonehell/Rappan session reports, and have started writing the Caves of Chaos game reports! Given how long I was literally 6 months behind on these posts, I’m really thrilled to have gotten it all up to date.

In the Stonehell game the party is busy in the sewers. They’ve been bopping back and forth between the mucky sewers and the Hermitage to rest and recover from their various ooze related injuries.

The Caves of Chaos game the party is busy poking around the caves. They’ve forced the Goblins to join up with the hobgoblins, and have succeeded in wiping out the first cave full of hobgoblins they’ve encountered. Looking forward to seeing how that progresses.

Miniatures
The last several years I’ve averaged around 60 or so minis painted in a year. I’m definitely past that already this year, and that isn’t even counting the 18 trees I made. I also had set myself a goal to paint an equal number of non-Reaper minis as Reaper minis. I haven’t quite kept it even, but even still it’s been a lot of non-Reaper minis this year so far, with a couple months to go!

What I actually got done this month included finishing up the Boulderkin minis , a couple of witches , and a necromancer and zombie. The necromancer and zombie are going to be part of a simple diorama, but the base is only just started.
