I bought a couple of the new cheaper Games Workshop painting handles. Would not recommend. One broke when I first tried to put a mini into it - a GW base. The other one didn’t break, but puts so much pressure on the base it bends it. #gamesworkshop #minispainting #donotrecommend

Tomb Kings team markers for my Blood Bowl team complete! My first time trying a fire effect, thanks to about half a dozen YouTube creators for the tips on that one. Not the best, but I think they look good! #bloodbowl #minispainting #gamesworkshop

Tomb Kings canopic jars done. Happy with these! #miniaturepainting #gamesworkshop

Got some little boxes to keep my Bretonnian team bits and bobs in…

Finished these for my Tomb Kings Blood Bowl team. They were fun to paint! #miniaturepainting #bloodbowl #gamesworkshop

First bits for my Tomb Kings team painted…

My Bretonnian team for Blood Bowl is finally finished. Here are the last six painted minis, along with a full team shot! Yay! #bloodbowl #gamesworkshop #miniaturepainting #minipainting castlebymoonlight.blogspot.com/2026/04/here...

Watching the 2018 movie The Predator, what a wild movie. So much happening so quickly: snipers, madmen, motorbikes, alien Predators, quips, betting on insane situations in insane situations, regular Tourette’s and autism gags, biologists signing up for insane team ups with no good reason. Wild.

Storage solutions, the unsung hero of minis gaming…. This is my go to for small model count minis games - a Plano box and metal plates so the magnetized minis stay in place. #bloodbowl #miniaturepainting

I think I’ll do a desert themed base for these Tomb Kings. Not sure how to get it done, but I’ll start with this and see if I can paint it to look like sand… #bloodbowl #miniaturepainting

Ran a session of Corsairs tonight, my game of sky ships and floating islands. We've been playing this now for a bit over a year. The characters have risen in reputation and amassed a small flotilla of ships, it has been a blast. Will they manage to bloody the nose of the empire that hounds them?

Tomb Kings Blood Bowl team, assembled! Now I have to decide on a colour scheme…

My Bretonnian team, all done! It’s taken me a good while, but I’m thrilled they’re done! #bloodbowl #gamesworkshop

My Bretonnian Blood Bowl team, all done! I’m very happy to have them finished! #gamesworkshop #bloodbowl

The last of my Bretonnians is complete. The knight catcher. Thrilled to have the team done, happy with how the last one came out! #bloodbowl #gamesworkshop

Once again I'm thinking of a piratical robot with one skin coloured leg, called Long John Flesh.

Started reading The Faith of Beasts, the second book in the Captive's War series by James S. A. Corey. I really enjoyed the first book, and am loving getting back into the worlds of the Carryx in this one.

Finished reading Spinning Silver, by @naominovik.bsky.social. I thoroughly enjoyed this book. I loved the reflection of the winter realm in the mundane world, and the way the various character's paths wound together. Like Uprooted and the Summer War, I loved the depiction of the fae.

Played Rise to Nobility on the weekend and I liked it a lot. I've apparently played it before, but I had no recollection of it. A good game with lots to think about and lots to do. It feels like it could play quite quickly once a passing familiarity with the rules and game flow are understood.

Played Forest Shuffle in person on the weekend, I really like this game, but the physical act of tucking cards, and the interactivity of how the cards score make the online version so much easier to play. A great little game though, I thoroughly enjoy it in whatever form.

Another Blitzer done, one more mini in my Bretonnian team to do! Very pleased to have this one done! #bloodbowl #gamesworkshop

I did a half-baked review/early thoughts sort of brain dump on Mouse Guard, the role playing game. The tl;dr version: I like games that mechanise narrative and setting elements in interesting ways... castlebymoonlight.blogspot.com/2026/03/mous...

The last of my Bretonnian Squire Linemen done... Only two models left and the team will be complete!

Next Bretonnian done. Three to go, at this point I'm looking forward to finishing the team. #gamesworkshop #bloodbowl

Next Bretonnian painted. I’m happy with how this guy turned out. Only four models left to paint for this team! Slowly, but surely! #gamesworkshop #bloodbowl

There's a review of my game Owlbear Omlette over on RPGGeek! This sort of thing really does make me smile, it is quite rare to get feedback, reviews, opinions, or play reports from the games I have made - so I love seeing it when it does happen! Thanks! boardgamegeek.com/thread/36770...

Latest Brettonian mini painted... Slowly getting through them!

Half Way to Bretonnia... half my Blood Bowl team is painted, and that is something of an achievement given the pace at which I'm working. I'm happy with the results though - you can check out the team (so far) here: castlebymoonlight.blogspot.com/2026/03/half...

Next one done, half my Bretonnian team done! Spent so much time redoing the eyes through the visor on this one. The team are going slowly, but going... #gamesworkshop #bloodbowl

The latest of my Bretonnians for Bloodbowl is done... Slowly slowly getting them finished.

Bretonnian Squire Lineman, the latest of my painted Bretonnian team. That's four down, I've been a bit slower with these than I hoped for, but getting them done one at a time... #bloodbowl #gamesworkshop

First Blitzer finished for my Bretonnian team... I'm happy with how these are coming together! #gamesworkshop #bloodbowl

Going to try using a wet palette again. Didn't enjoy the first attempt, but it's hot (27 degrees c at 9:30pm), and the paint dries quickly...

Played Mouse Guard last night. Great fun trying to recover from the injuries sustained in the last session and find some clues as to what is happening in the little town of Barkstone...

Ran Star Wars a few nights ago, the players had a plan for a military style covert op, then one of them decided to go guns blazing for no real reason. Everyone else in the party was in shock. We'll pick up next session with the mission under threat...

Played Guild of Merchant Explorers today. This has a nice balance between simplicity and ease of play - and thought. It’s a nicely weighted game that I finished wondering why I don’t play it more often. Solid game!

Played Viticulture with the Tuscany expansion today. We all went after different strategies but ended up tied for victory. It came down to the third tie break rule. Very good game I enjoy a lot.

Played Thunder Road Vendetta today. Great game, very thematic. Somehow the big rig raced away from the smaller buggies and bikes. Nearly made a dash for the win, but flew off the side of the map and was totaled.

Minigames! Marginalia! Manuscripts! Funding now

Tonight I ran a session of Corsairs - my game of sky ships and floating islands. The characters lost allies, but gained knowledge (though they don't know it quite yet - suspect it maybe, but not know it...) of why they have been outnumbered and hunted by a powerful enemy from the first session. 1/

Every Zine Quest has been a chance for me to experiment and to get my games in print (that wouldn’t happen otherwise). GMless with a huge dice pool, world building, solo, inventory management, shared (pregen) character. And now a party game! www.kickstarter.com/projects/sun...

A few sessions ago the characters in the Star Wars campaign I'm running survived a bloody battle. Tonight they were offered the opportunity to lead a Rebel spec forces attack against the Imperials - it's time to gear up, it's go time! The next few sessions could be the final battle for Saleucami...

Hey hey I'm making another zine! A4 2B D6 will be similar to eraserflag (A5, 36ish pages) but specifically focused on RPGs this time. We're looking for pitches from other Malaysians writers, designers, and artists who love RPGs, so if that's you, please submit a pitch here: forms.gle/Zf4G8LQjayxW...

Back in 2019 I wrote an blog post about pay rates in the RPG industry. A perennial topic. The rates may have changed by a few cents per word (or not - what you read on social media and what's contracted is often very different). Here it is regardless: open.substack.com/pub/caradocp... 1/

Played a session of Mouse Guard last night. Things didn't go so well for our little patrol as we encountered an owl, and tried to drive it off (with as much success as you might imagine). Was great fun though. Lots of learning, and the rules are sort of scattered throughout the book, but worth it.

Ran the third and final session of a battle in the Star Wars game I'm GMing. Quite a number of the NPCs the characters have built relationships with over the last six mo this of gaming were killed, injured, or are missing. I wasn't sure how it was going to go, or even really how to run it. 1/

This is first ZineQuest/Month I have not participated in for maybe five years. Do I feel like I'm missing out? No. Taking a break from the endless self-promotion and trying to get the word out there is refreshing. The scene is quite exhausting tbh.

Cutting, trimming, and painting the token set that came with Blood Bowl Season 3... my experience (perhaps a what not to do). #bloodbowl #miniatures #gamesworkshop castlebymoonlight.blogspot.com/2026/01/bloo...

Goes live for ZineQuest on the 10th of Feb!
