40ish Writer and mini painter.
I run LARP (20 years now!) and play a lot of board games and RPG (pen and paper) with friends.
I'll be using this account which has been in lurker mode for years to torture people with my passably painted minatures, and possibly some of my writing.
Learnt a lot about writing from producing LARP plot, but figured it might be time to dust off some prose skills and see how that goes.
In the mean time, apologies for the poor quality of some of the pictures, I use a decent phone camera but lighting can be a pest and there is only so much I can do, hopefully you will forgive the quality.
Note: My painting just builds on the minatures I paint, which are the IP of the companies that make them and in no way should be interpreted as any claim of ownersip, I share the pics for fun and to illustrate how they can be painted, please dont sue me! particularly as anything I paint and show here will be because I *love* the games they come from. where I can i will cite the companies/games responsible for the minis.
