Oh it started harmlessly enough... Have I got a game for the group. They've brought out a D20 version of the game. You'll all love
it. And they did all readily agree that it was perfect. Then of course they
turned and decided that they wanted to be pirates... not the nobles He had in
mind. And that was where it sort of took a left hand turn...
You see the game needs miniatures and they have to be
painted. Not a problem as one of our Tuesday night vanillas has been a keen miniaturist
in the past... and has the space. So they made a little play date for Sunday to
go to his place and start the process. There was just one tiny problem, the
groups little left hand turn means that we are not going to be in house
colours, one small slave is not getting a horse and suddenly He needs an army.
Rather more work than the three or four nobles, all wearing blue, that He originally
envisioned. So we spent the last two days on one of our road trips as He assembled paint and characters and brushes and a painting station and and
and...
Nearly every flat surface in our place is covered in
something pertaining to the game and the painting hasn't even begun. Oh no, He
is at the research stage so every computer screen is covered with how to create
planking for the bases, water effects and other helpful tips... all of them
requiring hours of labour... and space that doesn't exist.
Having lived with a modeller before one knows how this is
going to go... bathrooms converted into a temporary spray booth, the oven used
to bake enamels to a high gloss, the research, the lively debates about what
colour the headlights should be on a continental model of a car...
Is there a sanctuary for slaves out there?
'Cos this is going to get worse...

Just for clarity as I know some of you are roleplayers, it is not the d20 version that we are going to play but this one. Honestly sometimes I think she doesn't listen to my lectures on my obsessive topic of the month or maybe she just needs a reinvigorated listening training regime. Perhaps involving some restraints, a blindfold and some focus inducing nipple clamps to keep her attentive.
Has it got dice?
My Master wants to come visit you.
Actually perhaps we can just do a house swap... you can send him here and one small slave can esca.... errr... visit you :)
Sure, you can visit, if you don't mind dogs. I have a few. All his minis are in the basement in boxes, we will not have to paint any.
LOL Having seen pics of your pack... a few is a bit of an understatement :)
