1 out of 2 children agree!

A magnet my wife bought me years ago.
My son told my I was the best Dad he ever had after I showed him the Dungeon Saga Kickstarter video teaser.


In the end I couldn't resist and jumped in with about 49 hours left. I believe it was at about $460,000 then. It closed at almost $1,058,000. Whoa!

I know I've got a lot of stuff I've promised you all. Maybe promise is too strong, but I do plan on finishing up the photography stuff and those 20mm fantasy sizing shots. I also need to get back to my conlang attempts as I need to come up with a name for my Orc leader in the Nemroth campaign. Nar is the leader of my orcs in Linlandia, my hibernating Mighty Empires campaign. My all time favorite, even if short lived, D&D character was Hagrak the Usurper. That has a nice ring to it. And then i input the Mighty Empires naming tables into inspiration pad pro and ran off 25 names, a few of which are promising. Ungolgag and Grimgar are good, followed by Zogrot, Ashslag and Thorlud. But as per usual I'm over thinking things. Perhaps a post on names with respect to conlanging. Hmm.

I better get to work.

Oh yeah, I've also got a bunch of Oldhammer stuff to share, especially after catching up on Realm of Chaos 80's.

  1. Um, I'm slightly puzzled about the maths here. If only 1 child out of 2 thought that you were the best dad in the house, did the second child prefer *another* dad in the house? Or are they just not as excited about Dungeon Saga :-) ?

  2. Hi Hugh, although not outside the realm of possibility here, my son and I are the only two males in the house. I didn't even bother to tell my daughter about it as she thinks our games are boring. She exhibits total mortification at my dorkness.

  3. I was also tempted to back this Kickstarter but since I am still waiting for my Shadows of Brimstone stuff I could hold on and resist and don't spend even more money on stuff I never will paint ;)

    1. Hi Paradox0n, there is that. This is only the second Kickstarter I have backed and I stayed away from all the add ons etc. I definitely have a mountain of unpainted figures, but I thought that this would be a good project for my son and I to do together. I also sort of like that it's a year out.
