since youve mostly gotten your answers on the basic questions, i will add some other information here for you as FYI. If you’re wondering, you can use regular old acrylic hobby paints for miniatures. It’s going to take some extra work and a lot of mixing to get it the right consistency and will be a learning curve there.

If you’re wondering if it’s worth the money to spend on mini paints, that’s going to be entirely up to your preference. Mini paints can be quite pricey vs regular old craft store paints. I would maybe suggest dabbling with regular paints and getting some thinner medium and see if mixing them works out well for you. If you find it too annoying/frustrating/not worth your time then get mini paints. Mini paints can basically be used right out of the bottle.

i’ve never played it; How does the system work? is it a traditional d20-like system or something else?

This upgrade is now completed

yeah, i picked it up too; The site you get the PDFs from is pretty bad UI design-wise.

FWIW - this picture has been floating around since the mid 2000’s; the person who blogged about it cooked it super wrong. The instructions said to use a bain marie, and they didnt know what a bain marie, but saw you boiled water in it, so they just boiled the can. If you boil a can, water is 100% going to seep into it, and turn it into…what you see here.

For what it’s worth, the admins won’t actually see that, they disabled responses on those messages. That’s why it says “private moderator note”, it’s a note only the mod team can see

(It’s still funny, though)
