Hey...Wanna Join a Cult?

Since I started playing Strange Aeons I've had a chance to meet some new players, play some fun games, build and paint some great miniatures, meet the game's creators and even beta test some new rules with them.  I've had a lot of fun with Strange Aeons in the past two months, and I don't expect that to abate any time too soon.

Unless you count washing all those blood and entrails-stained robes of the more senior cultists (they are an untidy bunch).

That's right, I've joined a cult.  Wouldn't my folks be proud!


In actuality "The Cult of the Black Goat" isn't a cult at all, so don't go freaking out and think I've turned to the dark side.  Truth be told that bridge was crossed long ago and none of my so-called friends seemed interested in stopping my descent, so here we are.  Want some red kool-aid, there's plenty to go around...

Black Goat membership simply involves signing up with Uncle Mike's Worldwide.  You give them a little cash and in return they provide you a membership card, spiffy black t-shirt and two captured agent models (and I believe one new member-exclusive model each following year).  There's also a quarterly newsletter that you'll be sent via email which contains experimental rules and information about upcoming stuff for the game.

For more info about "The Cult of the Black Goat" take a look on the Strange Aeons website here.

A Spot of Fiction: Part 3

Outside, the two searching figures slowly return to the main building. As they approach the light from their flashlights reflects off of the building and their shapes resolve. They're wearing simple, nondescript military style uniforms and armed with automatic weapons. One of them snarls at the other, "There's nothing out here except coyotes, dirt and wind. Besides, if I were in charge I'd have come out here and checked it out myself!" "Yeah right! If you were in charge we'd all be dead already Carlson. That door was rusted shut, I'd bet money on it. Ain't no coyote cracking it open like that," says the second guard. They pause outside the door and turn off the flashlights and he digs a pack of cigarettes from his shirt pocket. Lighting up a cigarette he offers the pack to his companion. "So if it ain't a coyote what the hell was it? Nothing around here for miles!" "I don't know Staves, but I'm not taking that...

Painting Dreadball - The Etherian Horde

You know what's really sad? I've got all four season 1 Dreadball  teams in varying states of painted-ness, but none of them are actually  finished . My corporation team was pretty much finished until I messed them up, but I'll be posting more about them soon enough. Anyway, after over two weeks of being displaced from my home I was finally given the go ahead to return Sunday. With hot water and electricity restored I had to begin cleaning unspeakable organisms from my fridge and freezer, start vacuuming, do dishes that had long languished in the sink, and of course...laundry. All the stuff people love to do right?! With most of that complete or in progress I sat down to some (in my opinion) much-deserved personal time. I flipped the TV on and broke out some figures that I thought would be relatively quick and easy to work my way through: Season 2's robot team! These things look a lot like the robotic Horde trooper minions that work for Hordak (from Masters o...
