EDIT: thanks to Madcollector (npub1dxs…06kk) I now have a lifetime's worth of this answer

Crew, the girls want film night and, as it's suitable to do a Halloween one, I'm looking for recs.

They loved Nightmare Before Christmas but don't want to see it now. I'm not American minded or animated film vibed enough to know.

Can I have some recommendations on Halloween films that are
- suitable for a 10yo
- NOT live action
- somewhat humorous?

Thanks in advance!

#HobbyStreak day 1320

In prep for some actual #Mordheim gaming I gathered together all the #Terrain I've built over the past few years. I'll be honest, I'm disappointed in how little it actually is, but I'm aware I had planned a threefold.

Applied a layer of mod podge to all the XPS.

Primed the unpainted stuff grey with a rattle can.

Turns out mod podge does NOT protecc XPS😥

I've been allowed to scavenge a broken RC car for its badass exhaust.

I have no idea how to use this, only little experience with #electronics, I'll gladly admit, , but want to develop a new skill.

Regardless, is it easy to turn this into a static smoke generator for #MiniaturePhotography or #WargameTerrain , as in, do i need more than an on/off switch and a battery?

My lord

Girls have been snooping around our bookshelves and found a book my friends had made for our wedding 16 years back.

The book is full of recipes my friends and I shared, decorated with shameful pictures and anecdotes of me misbehaving as a student.

This one, ±2000, I'm willing to share:

I used to clip some mates' hair and once used Lemonade to stick one's hair on my suitably evolved* chest.

Debating if I should spoiler this.

(*I'm fairly hairless because I don't live in a cave)

quick fix tip from one roofer to another: cut all but the top shingles in strips. Don't cut all the way through but make shingle strips. Cut the length of a few in the line a bit, cut off an angle here or there for variation, and then bend them out at different angles. It's pretty fast to glue them on that way. Still a PITA, but less so.

Dear #TTRPG #RPG folks, I'm seriously considering getting back into GM'ing at some point. Problem is, it's been 3 decades and my standard has changed more than my personality over that span. I want to approach this with as much theory as creativity.

I am also simply in need of a theoretical deep dive.

I would like to hear your suggestions of books (edit: print much preferred) that can help me get into good #GM'ing and #storytelling please!

I do have a nice flagstone texture roller (unfortunately from the Spanish bunch of dicks), but the area is vast in comparison so I'd never line them up. That one's off the table (unless, I guess, I cut out individual flagstones after rolling, which multiplies the pain in the ass). I've got some wall plaster I'll be giving a try first and will try ADC/PVA. Cheers!

I've done some more miniature bricklaying and I'm happy to report that the entire box has been cladded around the sides. The next project is the top, but for that I need to experiment with some different ways of using a silicone mould for easy flagstone making.

Air drying clay is meh: the edges curl up, and polymer oven clay is meh: centres puff up.

As one of the four core organisers of this lovely #BloodBowl event, I spent a long year and many hours on making sure everything went right, we got everything and at the best value for money, and everyone felt welcome and safe and had fun. Ofc we also aimed to squeeze as much money out of attendants for our charitable causes as we could. Was it worth it? 1/?

I would like to point out how she was married to a member of the Dutch Olympic Committee, and how he used his influence to put obstacles in the way of his wife's greatest opponent, Foekje Dillema. That eventually led to her and all her records being thrown out at the Dutch athletics Union and her living in isolation until her death.
