Dungeons, Dragons, And High Elves

My son, T, has been staying (as he frequently does) and yesterday, not only did we manage to make time to play a game of King of Tokyo - which he won - we also started a game of Dungeons and Dragons. 3.5 Edition, of course; the edition I started with back in the early 2000s, an edition I can pretty much run without really thinking about it, and, just as traditionally, he rolled up a Human Fighter to start with.

Suffice it to say that he's been having a blast, and the adventures of his as-yet-unnamed character will, I suspect, be many and varied. As long as I keep rolling as awfully as I have been, that is. He has, as is the wont of players, totally ignored the NPCs that might be able to join him as party members, and is currently soloing everything I put in front of him. This may or may not last. We'll see if his partner E wants to join in next time she's over with him.

In painting news, I didn't do anything yesterday but today I highlighted all the leatherwork and painted the base layer of skintone onto the Maiden Guard:

Slowly getting there. Next step is to block out all the different shades of gold, then wash the skin and gold with Agrax Earthshade prior to applying highlights

I'm also going to print myself a Scrungaloid and see if I can get it crash-painted before the New Year, for a daft challenge set by Erika Chappell, the designer of the very funny and quite good little game SCRUNGALOIDS: The Lowest Form Of Life. Paint a Scrungaloid, get the starter set for free!
