I forgot how far along with the IFP I’ve gotten before I stopped painting. It’s been over a week, but they all stand in shield-wall formation, valiantly defending my computer keyboard – poking my wrists when I type as a reminder – “finish us before you can use your computer comfortably again.” Hoping to have time to paint this week.
At the same time, I bought myself a Reaper mini to paint up as my DnD4E character for a new campaign. I’ll prime “Palinor, the Paladin” up when I prime the IFP shield arms.
Oh, lastly, I had a blast at Gamex. Played a few games and had a lot of down time, but the little gaming I got in was worth it. Interesting little stories such as:
- competed in the Rock Band tournament with a cobbled up crew, seriously mismatched and last minute, and called ourselves the Floating Brainstems.
- Played Super Smash Bros Brawl with a bunch of 4-8 year olds. It was fun holding back punches and just doing silly stuff to get laughs out of them.
- Kingsburg tournament! This was what I was waiting for. Did quite well for the 2nd time playing ever, but beat out in the last stretch and lost by a mere point to a girl who stole my much needed gold.
All that was Saturday. On Sunday, I ran my tournament which I felt was a success for my first time running. Anyways, didn’t stay long after the tournament, but won a 1st place and a couple 2nd placings in the painting contest, granted there wasn’t that many entries :P That weekend was overall enjoyable, especially since I was able to game with new and old friends alike.
