Hobby Vlog Day 79

Support Removal Day

Today was support removal day. I missed some on the Phantasm and need to magnetize a few more parts, but I got Iron Soul Nick cleaned up, Heretics cleaned up, random Black Grail stuff, and an Ammo Monk that I needed cleaned up, and all of Quartz cleaned up.

I think I’m done printing everything for Trench Crusade. I need to print an Assassin for Iron Sultanate, maybe two more in case I want to play that sub-faction. But I have everything else I’d possibly want to play in Trench Crusade printed.

Everything Built Faster Than Expected

Got Warmachine handled. Infinity built. All my Old World Warhammer stuff built. All the RPG miniatures mostly built and based.

I got all that done a lot faster than I thought. There’s definitely going to be stuff that pops up next year that I want to paint, but I’m not buying anything new—at least for the first six months.

This means I could probably get everything primed before the new year. Then I can really just focus the rest of the year on painting without distractions or excuses.

Setting Up the RPG Hole

I’m turning this whole area into my little RPG hole. Clean RPG table, dice in here, RPG books on the freshly organized bookshelf.

Finally got tracking information for Dolmenwood! I’m probably the last person in North America getting it. I have the Max Pledge with a bunch of add-ons.

The Book of Antithesis

A lot of stuff in this book is pretty cringe—and I think that’s by design. But some of it is actually very cool.

This book attempts to merge entry-level occult and magical practices—which is really just introspection and meditation—into role-playing games. It’s Lamentations of the Flame Princess, so you know what you’re in for: 50% cringe, 50% cool stuff, but usually 100% good games.

Ceremonial Dice

I followed the instructions for ceremonial dice. They describe the type of dice you should get, colors, and corresponding planetary influences and elements. I’ve already done all these steps for all of my dice—one of every color pretty much.

The concept is correlating your dice to planets and planetary influences—like calm or cool or collected if you use the blue dice. It adds another level of immersion into the game.

The Art Warning

The art in this book is certainly nothing I could ever have on the YouTube channel. Very not safe for work. Very not child-friendly. That part of it is what it is—I get what the author was going for, and that’s pretty much what all Lamentations products are like.

Instead of showing you the pages, I’ll just tell you when I’m taking aspects from it when the actual role-playing starts.

Post-Holiday Recovery

Really just a day of recovery from the holidays. Always a lot when you’ve got to do that. It’s fun to see everybody, but it takes a day of getting back to normal—especially because the kids get so tired and crazy.

As you can probably hear them running around, I’ve got to get back upstairs!

Transcript

Okay, today was support removal day. I I realized I missed some on the fantasm, but I actually I got to magnetize a few more parts. I thought I finished it. Uh but I got iron soul nick cleaned up, heretics cleaned up, random black grill stuff, and an ammo monk uh that I needed cleaned up and all of quartz cleaned up. So, I got to base them.

Uh most of them are assembled. There’s a few of them that I need to build over there for the heretics, but uh I think I’m done printing everything for Trench Crusade. H and I’m almost done building everything I want to paint next year. I need to I need to print an assassin for Iron Sultan. And then I have everything and maybe like two more assassins in case I want to play that sub faction.

But I printed two alchemists. I printed all the other extra options for them. And I think I have everything else that I would possibly want to play in Trench Crusade printed, which is pretty cool. I’ve got War Machine handled, which is also very cool. I’ve got all the Infinity built.

I’ve got all my oldw world Warhammer stuff built. I think I think it’s all built. I’ve got all the stuff I want to play for RPG miniatures mostly built and based. So, I got all that done a lot faster than I thought I would. And I’m sure there’s some things that I’m forgetting.

And there’s definitely going to be stuff that pops up next year that I want to paint that I’m sure of that I already own because I’m not buying anything new next year, uh, at least for the first six months. But it feels good. It happened a lot faster than I thought it would. I didn’t record it cuz I just thought it’d be kind of boring. But that means I could probably get everything primed before the new year.

And then I can really just focus the rest of the year on painting and not have any distractions or any excuses for [snorts] me to not paint every day, which is great. Um, still kind of recovering from yesterday. I think like the kids are still wiped out. Uh, I’m still pretty wiped out, but uh, not in like a bad way or like a exhausted way, which is good. So, coming through here, the ceiling fan is so low.

I am Let’s see. I have cleared these guys. These are all like RPG RPG miniatures. These are some Legos that I got to sort and get out of here. Uh RPG books, clean RPG table.

I’m going to put some dice in here. And this is the last little bit of trash uh vacuuming up. Uh I had to get the heater going. It’s heater days now officially here underground with my little dirty window. But, uh, I’m going to turn this this whole area into RPG, my little RPG hole.

And one thing I want to talk about today is my freshly organized bookshelf book. And it’s going to be backwards cuz I’m in selfie mode like a like a peasant. But a lot of stuff in this I’m going a lot of stuff in this is pretty cringe. And I think I think that’s by design. Uh, but some of it is actually very cool and I think I’m gonna try that.

Dol I finally got my tracking information for Dolmanwood. I’m probably the last person in North America. Uh, definitely in America. I got to be one of the final people getting it. Uh, but I have the Max Pledge with M with a bunch of add-ons to it.

So, uh, hopefully that comes soon and I can do an unboxing. But I’m going to kind of embrace the the methods and procedures mapped out in the book of an antithesis which I’ll talk about. >> So to start us off, if you buy this book, this is the this is the kind of art that’s in there. Uh and demons, this shouldn’t make sense, right? They should be they should be silly.

But uh what I wanted to specifically talk about and what I don’t know is there a good description of this book. Probably probably not. It’s a this book what this does is attempt to kind of merge uh entrylevel occult and magical practices uh which is uh really just like introspection and meditation uh into role playing games, right? And it’s Lamentations of the Fame Princess. Uh you you kind of know what you’re in for.

It’s like 50% cringe, 50% cool stuff, but usually like 100% good games. So, this part that I cut out was actually the magical dice circle. Uh cuz I followed uh and that’s some crazy art right there. But, uh I I followed the instructions for ceremonial dice. So, you must repair ceremonial dice.

They should mirror perfect symmetry of the platonic solids, which I kind of talked about in another video. Uh all edges well defined. So, they describe the type of dice you should get. that describe the colors as well as the corresponding influences elements. And what you do is this steps.

So I’ve already done all of these steps for all of my dice. So uh one of every color pretty much. And then what comes next? I got to some of this art I absolutely cannot have on the YouTube channel. Okay, so I I had this on the desk and I was flipping through it to kind of show you the parts of it I’m going to take, but the art in this is certainly uh nothing that I could ever have on the YouTube channel.

Um very not safe for work art. Very not child-friendly art. Um like I said, there’s there’s some cringe in it. That part of it, I mean, it is what it is. I get what the the author was going for.

I mean, that’s Lamentations of the Flame Princess. That’s pretty much like what all it is. So, no, it’s a great great rules, cool OSE system. Um, but I think everything is like half cringe, half cool with these products, but there’s a lot of really cool concepts in here that I want to incorporate into that OSE style of play that I think instead of showing you the pages in the book, I will just tell you when I am taking those aspects from it when the actual role playing thing kind of starts. And it’s things like uh using like correlating your dice to the planets and like a planetary influence kind of thing like calm or cool or collected if you use the blue dice.

So it’s just this adds another level of immersion into the game which I think is just really cool. Um so what do I want to talk about now? Did lots of eBay today. I actually used the backdrop just a bunch of stuff. It’s going to get posted for sale today.

Uh, today I spent the entire day watching the Steam Forge Games War Machine live stream, which was pretty cool. Uh, got a bunch of spoilers and lore snippets. Uh, I I was painting something upstairs. I don’t know. It probably won’t make the video today just because I’m base coating stuff.

I’m getting like the tabard and the rest of the leather base coated. Big thing besides the supports today was I just reset the closet. So, after after all the goblins and the the undead stuff for a Warhammer, this was a mess. The other cool thing though is uh Infinity is built. I finished building all my Infinity models.

All my dust models are built. Trench Crusade is about to be done. Uh really the only things I have left to build that I plan on painting anytime soon is the relic plate stuff. Really just a day of recovery and uh and snapping back from the holidays. Always a lot uh when when you got to do that.

It’s fun. I’m glad to see everybody, but it just takes like a day of like getting back into to normal, especially because the kids get so tired and get like they’re crazy today. So, I got to get back upstairs. As you can probably hear him running around, but that’s uh that’s all there is for
