  • Have you read Dai Dark? It's by the same person. Both are excellent!

  • What 5 games would you recommend for the broadest possible sample of table top RPGs and story games?

    Jump
    • Mothership, great pulp scifi horror that works for one shots or long campaigns.
    • Blades in the Dark, think oceans 11, or peaky blinders but haunted Victorian London.
    • Slugblaster, angsty teens traveling to other dimensions to skate and tag.
    • Numenera, billions of years in the future on earth. Medieval societies with tons of weird science so advanced its magic
    • Draw Steel, classic tactical mini based heroic fantasy. An evolution from D&D

  • What's your pointers for running Horror in TTRPGs?

    Jump

  • Great points by other people here so I won't reiterate, but did want to throw in Mothership as a horror game. It's quick and easy to run and play. Would highly recommend.

  • Awesome highlighting. There is a lot to learn about color theory but a good rule of thumb is to look at other characters in media or games that you like the pallet of and copy that. Pay attention to the ratios the of colors and follow that. For example, pikachu is 90% yellow, and then a few percent black, red or brown. This color scheme could be adapted to this miniature with perhaps yellow cloth and armor, brown skin and red/black detailing.

    Pikachu may not be the best example since it does have such a high amount of a single color but you probably get the jist.

  • I'd probably just do thin layers since I'm not great at dry-brushing either. But either could work.

  • How do I decide the color scheme of priming? It's a hard question to answer because many different approaches can work. I believe the technique is called underpainting, especially in the fine arts world. For example, many clasical painters will paint skin green first as an underpaint before making them more skin tones.

    One heuristic you could use would be to think about the light color coming from the sky and reflecting from ground. For example, a warm sunny day over a forest floor would be yellowish from above and green from below.

    But I think the two color priming can lead to interesting results regardless of what colors you choose. Though I might try to make the under color darker in value that the over color.

    For fire skinned orcs, if you're going for glowing from within I would base white followed by layers/drybrushing of yellow, orange, red, then brown.

    If you want red skin I think your idea could be super interesting. Just make sure you mix some of those colors into your reds as you layer up, as well as letting some of those colors show through in the deepest shadows.

    Keep on practicing and exploring. You're asking great questions!

  • I haven't seen state of play, but mixing colors/color theory can be quite fun!

    Inks can be fiddly, but they can produce great results. They're more prone to tearing or reactivating and wearing away than normal acrylics so you have to be gentle with them after applying.

    Also, you can glaze with most any acrylic paints in addition to inks. Some colors have more transparent pigments in them and will work better than others but the technique can still be used.

  • Inks tend to be quite strong so I usually dillute them heavily with water before applying thin glazes. They do work with mediums, but I don't tend to use them.

  • Sounds great! I love painting skin because it can be so varied in hue. Even human skin has greens and blues in it even though it's usually looks more brown, red or yellow.

  • What a fun project. I like the greens mixed into the blue skin.

  • I'm certainly not painting these models that quickly. I recently went back and photographed a bunch of older minis that I painted.

    Depending on the month I probably paint 5-20 models, though not always to the same standard.

    Jump

  • Oh we played it only a few times but it felt maybe too shallow for us. At the skirmish size I think we wanted a bit more than opr gave. But I wouldn't let my feelings dissuade you. Ive heard lots of folks liking it quite a bit.

  • Agreed, though I would also be down for more tightly regulated and graded housing similar to our restaurants in the short term.
