Links & Random Bits for 11/12/21

Lots of Felltower this week, so not so much reading of other people's posts.

- I'm really tempted by this kit:

Kvvdi 2 Sets 1/72 Scale Model Tanks Kits to Build, Upgrade 3D Puzzle Plastic Military Tank Models Sturmpanzer and Jagdpanzer IV(Gray Or Green) (Amazon affiliate link)

Basically ~$10 for a Sturmpanzer "Brumbar" and a Stug IV?

Hmm.

Hmm.

If they only had same-priced kits of T-34/85s or T-34/76a or c models I'd be very, very happy. They just seem to have two kits of German tanks.

- D&D postcards . . . attractive art, although I don't have any interest in "Vengar."

- Fire in the Lake Update - 477. Soooooo close.

- I read all of this book:



Short version? Neither Gary Gygax or Dave Arneson come off particularly well. No one does - TSR wasn't well run at any point, and was badly run at several points. It's sad but interesting. Recommended. I should have waited to buy it and saved $7 or so.

- I stalled out again on Darkest Dungeons. I have too many missions I need to do while I build up the guys I feel like I need to beat the next mission in the actual dungeon, and every week the coach comes without one of the classes I really need to build up - a Man-at-Arms. So it's feeling like a grind. I'll come back to it again at some point. I read a teaser review of DD2 but it didn't sound that exciting. Maybe I'll feel differently when it comes out.

- I don't know too much about crossbows but I did enjoy this video. This kind of thing - the sheer size of that 1400s crossbow - is why I have larger crossbow sizes by ST score in my DF game.

960lbs crossbow vs 150lbs crossbow - TESTED!

Heavier Crossbows in my DF Game

Point of fact, though - I don't actually use the "light crossbow" rules, just the regular size and the two larger sizes.
