Pimpin': Headshots from the Heart

DaveG over at WargamingTradecraft.com is doing some awesome THIS SATURDAY!!

24 hour marathon of playing the video game Borderlands to raise money for the Childs Play Charity. The entire event will be broadcast online, hosted by more friends and volunteers.

Full details can be found here: http://www.wargamingtradecraft.com/2012/04/charity-headshots-from-heart.html

But basically we’re asking for pledges on a per-headshot-kill basis, direct dontations, and / or offers to cover expenses for the event itself. (Such as equipment, streaming, etc)

As for a minature gaming tie-in, I’ve been sponsored by MiniWarGaming to paint 4-6 Borderlands themed miniatures (the 4 PCs, Moxxi and Marcus) with full Work-In-Progress shots over the next month and a half, to be auctioned off during the event. 

The WIP on those guys have been BONKERS. You should check them out and give Dave some love/cash/stuff for a great cause. 

[RPG] Check this out instead

No RPG material today. I'm busy finalizing the last minute details of a benefit for a local gaming couple.

[40K] Don't Forget!

Woops! It's Wednesday and I totally forgot to post until late... better late than never, though!

So our 40K League decided to do a team league next. 1000 points per person, static army (but not list) and using BRB (with 1 reroll allowed for missions) for deployment.

We rolled for partners, which was interesting. I was very concerned about messing someone up really bad; I'm new AND I have a pretty limiting rule in my codex regarding psychic powers. All went well, though as I didn't get paired with the Chaos or Eldar player(s). I got a really good partner- a smart, well versed player that has played nearly every army and even when he's trying to lose, does well.

I'm hoping that if nothing else, I will learn a lot from this experience, and maybe come out of it a better player. I mean I could do worse, right?

My advice on getting stuff for free came up at 40K night... it looks like I might be trading off some bikes in exchange for something yet to be determined (mostly because I don't have a burning hole in my arsenal). We'll see, I'm still considering. 

Other items on the agenda-- DON'T FORGET about the HOP Blog Roll Naming Contest! These guys pimped me up something fierce when I had my contest; and they let me write for them once a week- I gotta return the favor. Hit up your creative cells and give these guys something awesome!
