Ok tabletop Mastodon/Pixelfed, recent events have tipped me over the edge. I am deleting Instagram (which, for all its faults as a platform, had an excellent mini painting community) and recreating my mini painting bubble here.

Let us begin with the last picture I posted over on the other place.

This Orc is the culmination of a long-term goal to get to grips with a sketchier more cartoony style. I used to look at models painted in this style and say "I wish I could paint like that." I just really love it as an aesthetic. And it suits these Warmonger Orcs especially well.

First proper run through of 'Be Like A Crow'. First impressions: Could be a lot of fun. I need to get better at working with the prompts, and I think I might enjoy trying one of the other settings (I started with Fantasy Crow). But mechanically I was surprised how well the deck of cards worked as a dice substitute.

However, am glad I had already got into Ironsworn as a first solo RPG. There's a lot of good advice on solo narrative building in the rulebook and a lot of third party online resources giving fantastic examples of how this looks in play, that are very transferable to other solo games. I don't think my 'Be Like A Crow' experience would have been as fruitful without that experience.
