So, it's been a few days. Happy 4th if you live in the US, and hell, even if you don't, I hope you enjoyed your weekend!Haven't done too much painting this past week, what with visitors and all, but I did manage to crank these four bandits out, which pretty much tested my ability to paint the entire dirt spectrum on four models. I think I used six different shades of brown. I'm ready to not paint any more brown!
My second session is tomorrow, and I'm trying something new this week - namely lack of preparation. Usually I over-prepare, but due to circumstances this week I wasn't able to do any real concrete work on tomorrow's adventure (planning encounters, working out the details of a new town, drawing a dungeon map, etc.) until this morning. Thankfully I knew more or less which way the adventure was going to go, but the details were all jumbled up and swirling around in my head, and didn't get ironed out until today. In fact, I've been making changes as recently as an hour ago, and probably will continue to right up until I'm sitting at the table.
This will be a new experience for me though. As I said, my usual vice is over-preparing, which doesn't sound bad, but it can leave you bogged down in too many details, and set you up for a "missing the forest for the trees" kind of scenario. Of course, I don't like ad-libbing, and would feel naked without some amount of preparation, but this is unusual for me. I'm pretty sure I can pull it off.
Details at 11.
