I haven’t played games with others since Covid, but I do solo board gaming. I try to do a few hours first thing on a Saturday or Sunday (when most of the family are still asleep). For my painting, I have a daily news show 6pm to 7pm every day. I tend to paint while I sit and listen to that. Saturday I do the same with the Weekender and Sunday with…[Read more]

Does anyone have a specific “hobby day” to get stuff done?

Yes, no, maybe. I planned to but it never really happened.

Technically 1st Monday of the month is Hobby Hangout on a German discord with paint and chat.

Tuesday is The Hobby Hangout (does that count as hobby on my part?)

Wednesday is Hobby Hump Hangout on OTT Discord.

Thursdays is my…[Read more]

How does everyone else manage their time when there are more hobbies than hours in a day?

I only really have the one hobby although that breaks down into two main parts: gaming, and painting and project development.  I try to get at least some hobby in every day, preferably painting, even if it is just a few minutes.  Sunday is the main day that I…[Read more]

Another month down and I’m slowly working through the Draugr.  Here is the latest section:

That’s 2 more Midgard bases done.  I’m 4/5 of the way through this army now.  With these guys going quickly and a couple of other bits getting finished I’m at 286/365.

Yeesh, peak humanity in the age of Babylon 5 and The X-Files? I’m sure @avernos would agree. Heh heh heh

As far as removing the notion of doom and gloom I’m not sure that my continued hobby helps. I just got my set of The Unmade from Warcry finished. I think the body horror element were great to push GW creativity. I might take up Kings of War…[Read more]
