Finally! I generated easy to remove automatic supports for 15mm miniature prints that don't entomb them! No more snapping off limbs while freeing them.

Only after printing the miniatures did I realize the glaringly obvious flaw in my plan to substituting them for the counters in my Stratego inspired hidden unit game. Pretty evident where the mines are.

You can write too much of a good thing. An overwrought story looks great to its author despite being too long, verbose, and baffling to the reader. Right ingredients. Wrong measurements. I dread that a meaningful story will prove to be a pretentious display of pseudoprofundity.

"For sale: baby shoes, never worn." -- Anonymous though falsely attributed to Hemingway The human condition expressed in six words. Everything beyond that is padding the page to earn a few extra cents per word and ensure that the readers feel they got their money's worth.

Next time you are at a bar with friends, feel free to invent epic fantasy backgrounds for your fellow patrons. "Aye, that one holding the Bud Light traveled here from the North, leaving only tears in his wake. Nobody knows his name, but they call him the Minister of Sinister."

My friend is running Dungeon Crawl Classics' Dying Earth setting for us. Fun times! We have what amounts to a couple bags of holding, but he won't divulge the specifics, so science! Can the goat get out on its own? Did throwing the bag hurt it? Did the chickens poop inside?

This new Deathstalker is not too shabby so far. If you grew up on B-movie fantasy then it is a must see. Bloodbath with mooks that look like flayed slayers from Krull. Clear Evil Dead influence. He does what your gritty AD&D character would do most of the time.

Ultimately, the purest expression of high art is the balance between hope and despair, which imitates the awesome convergence of organic life's tenuous grasp upon lofty ambition conflicted against the fundamental force of attraction. It reminds us to "Hang in There."

The 54mm models for Inquisitor were expensive and hard to find. With a 3D printer, you can just scale up the print size of any compatible model or terrain piece. Still playing Epic? Just as easy to scale down to 6mm.

In our Dungeon Crawl Classics game, we have the capacity to trap people inside bottles, which I think is a cool spell. I've been trying my best to shove one into an enemy's mouth and shatter it, releasing the occupant, but my magician is not an able combatant.

"Were updating our service agreement." That's why I hate digital. Back when it was a written contract, I would cross out stuff and update the agreement as well.

This is one of the times when I wonder, do people not get the joke or am I the only person who finds grandiloquence amusing?

It does concern me a little when writers ask first year college English questions AFTER self-publishing multiple books. I'm thrilled you want to know, but a pilot trains for the job before the passengers board and doesn't ponder "Why is this flashing?" over the intercom.
