Monday Miniatures: The Strumpet
Though the strumpet probably isn’t actually using her come hither gesture to get you to read this week’s blog post, I think that it is safe to read that additional message into her seductive motions. If you think she has a certain something now, you should definitely check out all the different ways our painters have dolled her up this week.
Learning from the Mistakes of Others
In last Friday’s post, I mentioned that the seminal fantasy RPG Earthdawn would soon be coming to Kickstarter to launch it’s fourth edition.

If on the other had you don’t mind creepy crawlies, then you should definitely take a look
