More Hirst Arts Scenery

With the summer winding down, and autumn arriving, we come to the end of the Hirst Arts casting season in Canada.  Good weather is required for plaster casting, as the heat is needed for the plaster to set up.  It gets too cold in the autumn and winter to do much casting.


Most of the Hirst Arts molds have been put away, as well as the plaster and the related paraphernalia.  A couple of days have already been spent on scenery building.  The above columned chamber will serve as a "throne room of the gods" in an on-going campaign.

The second piece of Hirst Arts scenery is a traveller's bridge, useful as a choke point over a raging river.  This will be brought to bear once we return to our Lord Of the Rings tabletop battle games.


I've got my eye on a couple of additional Hirst Arts molds, but there's no hurry buying them, since I won't be getting back to casting until next summer.  Hopefully the Canadian Dollar continues to ride high, making the molds more economical to purchase.

Will The Real Mitt Romney Please Stand Up



You all act like you haven't seen a Mormon before
Jaws down on the floor, i'm not concerned about the very poor

I got that wrong, sorry, that's not what I meant
I want every American to be in the top one percent

I'm really named Willard, that is my first name
Not looking for a colony on the moon just someone to blame

I like to fire people, I love cars, and I love lakes
I'm running for political office, for Pete's sake!

With regards to abortion, am I Pro-life or Pro-choice?
I firmly believe in my own singing voice

I'm more concerned about banks, they're unable to lend
Corporations are people too, my friend!

My dog is on the roof. My dog is on the roof.
Who let the dogs out? Who? Who? Who?

Understand i'm an exception, the Obama contraception
Not a vulture, i'm an eagle, I get my lawn cut by illegals

There will be an influx. of Hispanic voters in trucks
Look, if you don't believe me, bet ten thousand bucks?

Well, I made a lot of money, matter of factually
I drive a couple of Cadillacs. actually

I have emotion and passion. That's a joke for the record.
But if you want the soul of America restored, come on board
Take your fair share, every Mormon wave your underwear

I'm Mitt Romney. Yes, I'm the real Romney.
All the other Mitt Romneys are just mass debating.
So would the real Mitt Romney please stand up, please stand up, please stand up.

I'm Mitt Romney. Yes, I'm the real Romney.
All the other Mitt Romneys are just mass debating.
So would the real Mitt Romney please stand up, please stand up, please stand up.

Resource Cards: Swords N Wizardry Kickstarter



I was sorely tempted to participate in the recent Swords and Wizardry kickstarter.  I don't really need another copy of Swords and Wizardry, but one of the add-ons was sets of resource cards, something dear to my heart.  Unfortunately, there we no proofs or previews of the actual cards, or I might have pledged.

It will be interesting to watch the post-completion updates to the kickstarter, to see if they provide some sample cards.
