Two hours of painting doing nothing but putting on the blue and raising the highlights on the white. My eyes are exhausted, my hands are exhausted. Damned if it doesn't look pretty good though.

This is a good geek weekend.
Last night we had session 0 for #StarTrekAdventures. My PC is a hunky Betazoid science officer. He's out for a good time & honest with his partners. He's a slut, not a dick. The medical officer is prepared to handle the situation. ๐๐
My #DnD game is tonight. Hopefully, I can start laying out the options I've got cooked up for the players to choose from. Depending on what they pick, I will have a month to get any books/maps I am missing for their choice and flesh out the adventure.
Other than some chores and dinner with the boss (who is in town from Texas), tomorrow will be spent finishing my Inner Sphere #Battletech mechs. If I have enough time, I'll start working on the color scheme for the Clan mechs. #TTRPG #DM #MiniaturePainting #ChaoticQueer #GeekCrafts
From a base of extra-dark Permanent Violet Dark, all the way up to white. There'll be some touching up of the white after I get the blue on most of it, and then detailing can start.

What is funny is that the author's of this sourcebook are making the same mistakes as the authors of my beloved Alternity Star Drive setting did ~15 years later: Too much distant history that won't effect the settings today, to large a scale for everything, timelines to long.
From what @WanderingBeekeeper and @mdhughes I'm going to get as sick of reading the history of the Terran Alliance in Battletech sourcebooks as I did reading the Horus Heresy in W40K books.
Plus: The person writing this sourcebook is a much better author then most of the 40K writers
Downside: This is much more boring then the Heresy
Downside: This is a lot more pages then they ever gave the Heresy section
Getting into #Battletech as a setting after playing the HBS game, So I've started reading the House Kurita sourcebook from way back.
I'm about 16 pages in and we haven't hit a recognizable political division or the creation of a battlemech yet.
1) am I going to have to go through the complete history of the formation of the great houses with every one of these source books?
2) Why did 80s writers seen to think they needed to outline all of history from the current year to the settings year?
After a brief month of positivity, we're back to the bad mechs. The next stop on our Odyssey is the Cyclops. It's going to count sheep until you fall asleep.
