Well, this may help me in my ongoing efforts to avoid further lead poisoning. :-)

Mirliton miniatures is doing a Kickstarter to reproduce some of the Grenadier classic gold box miniatures!  Yes, that is a look of surprise! ;-)

A rough night in the dungeon

It took me about ten minutes to figure out the right keys to use to move around in Orthanc, and less than one minute for this Level 1 Man to kill me...

There's a PS4 gathering dust across the hall, and this is what I'm playing...

Here is eternal spring; for you the very stars of heaven are new

For here, even though winter approaches and the days grow short, I can still find some measure of springtime.

So I realize that there is a whole generation of kids that grew up dreaming about going to school at Hogwarts, and for most of them it was just that, a dream.   I was very fortunate, for very long before there ever was a Hogwarts, and the stars were new,  I went to school here.  So eat you heart out Harry Potter. ;-)
