    Do you observe Thanksgiving?

    Don't even get me started on Boxing Day. When I saw the thread title, I just assumed everyone who answered yes would either be an American or a foreign national living in the United States. If I was in Germany, I'd certainly go hunt witches on Walpurgis Night with the rest of Bavaria.

    Fighting the Gray Tide (Miniature Painting)

    The model on the left is almost completely painted as of 11/22/25 and the one on the right is from 2018. On the left, I applied a very dark base coat, used liquid masking for chipping effects, and airbrushed Tamiya grey. I used some panel liner and then some rust and streaking effects. I...

    Ken Burns' The American Revolution

    The American colonies were in an odd place in that they were established by royal charters rather than any act of Parliament. When petitioning Parliament proved to be ineffective, the colonists tried petitioning George directly. And they'd suck up to George, telling him they're loyal subjects...

    Do you observe Thanksgiving?

    At least here in the United States, to observe a holiday means you participate in it.

    Ken Burns' The American Revolution

    As an American, my stance was it's sometimes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bonds which had connected them to another. I didn't really get a in depth education about the subject until I was an undergraduate and it was the first time I had gotten the British perspective on...

    Ken Burns' The American Revolution

    As an undergraduate, I remember getting into a rather heated, uh, let's say debate, with an Englishman over whether the Colonies were justified in breaking away from Great Britain. I haven't watched the documentary yet, but I intend to.

    Secrets of low-prep homebrew [+]

    Don't overthink things. When you're creating a setting, start with some generalities and don't worry about having all the details filled in unless you think it's important for the next scenario. You said you like creating things like maps, which is pretty cool, but don't feel as though you...

    Fighting the Gray Tide (Miniature Painting)

    The vest laid plans of mice and men oft go awry. My original plan was to put Chewbacca in the hatch and maybe add some Ewoks to the base. This is a captured AT-ST used against the Empire. But given the cost of Legion Ewoks, I decided against it. Instead, I will be able to switch our...

    D&D 5E (2024) Ditching the Treasure Treadmill

    If I had a DM introduce this rule into their game I'd quit. I dislike equipment degradation in most video games and would absolutely despise having to keep track of it in D&D. This rule would absolutely suck the fun out of D&D.
