Happy New Year

Just wanted to say Happy New Year to all of you who follow this blog or happen to stop by. As is usual for me this time of year I tend to focus a little more on lost opportunity than I should. So I am reading the blogs of others and looking for some inspiration/ insight into making some progress on the modelling and gaming fronts.

I always joke that my goal is to one day have goals, but I will be taking stock of my lead and plastic piles and formulating some kind of strategy for actually playing and painting. And I will be looking to various blogs for inspiration so I hope that you all keep doing what you're doing. As you may have noticed I have shamelessly lifted ideas in blog presentation from most of you that I read. Right now I am in the process of fleshing out the back story for a campaign set in the Two Hour Wargames setting of Talomir. Hmm, set in the setting seems rather incoherent. Perhaps the lingering effects of Akvavit.

Not too much gaming swag for Christmas, but I did receive:

I highly recommend this series. If you like Conan and you like comics you can't go wrong.

And finally I saw both Tintin and Sherlock Holmes 2, notable as the wife and I rarely get out to see the movies. I'll try to give a review of Tintin in another post but it will suffice to say for now that the Tintin fans in our group enjoyed the movie, the others could take it or leave it.

Well, Happy Blogging, Happy Gaming, and Happy New Year.
