Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay

So WFRP, or Warhammer Fantasy Rolepaying game by Black Industries and Green Ronin. Pretty sweet game, very different from typical D&D style stuff. The game uses all % dice for all rolls.

Anyway, I GM this game every few years for about 6 sessions or so then it goes to rest in its tomb only to resurface some time later. I found these photos of the minis we used in the game.





The party from Left to Right: Nalon-el: High elf Mercenary, Siegfried: Wizard, Nika : Battle Sister of Sigmar, Athlear: wood elf scout, Suppin Duckweed & Buttercup the dog, the Dwarves; Brok Valigson & Logaz Treksson.

There are couple dead Night gobbos in the Foreground.

 This just another shot of the group. Click on the photos to see them better. This game was a lot of fun and we tried to use minis and terrain as much as possible.

AQUABATS SUPER SHOW!!!!!

Granted, people who know me know I am into silly stuff. Well if you think the following pics cause you to say hmmm.... Or maybe you think that a group of 5 guys in costumes that are a superhero rock-band fighting crazy monsters, android cowboys, burrito eating ghosts, and giant ants sounds like fun, then I say:
WHY THE HECK AREN"T YOU WATCHING
The AQUABATS Super Show!??!?!?!?!?!?!?! It is on the HUB network or check it out on Netflix!





They have albums too! The songs are groovy and fun! My daughter and I have been fans since 2003. If you have kids (or even if you don't) they are a fun group to follow. We are both very happy and excited that they finally got a TV show!



Mightyeroc says CHECK them out!

Dragon Dice!

Dragon Dice! and I don't mean that terrible DICE game from TSR. I am talking about the dice that used to come in the old Red & Blue boxed sets, usually in a little plastic bag with a waxy crayon of either black, white or yellow to color in the numbers with yourself.

Like this:
I personally LOVE these dice, and I truly miss them. There is something rather ZEN like for me when choosing the number color and then the actual process of finishing the dice. I own thirteen RED, 25 light blue, 1 brown d4, 3 mustard green, 6 dark green, 12 yellow, 18 dark blue in all.

They were also sold in sets, I found the complete set of RED on ebay a few years ago that looked like this:
I did use the yellow crayon and they look great!

I still have the stumps of  a black, sky blue, white, dark green and the yellow crayon that I use when am fortunate enough to find more of these dice. I am not sure how many other colors they came in. I never saw this set of pecentile dice in the store and most of mine were light & dark blue from my Star Frontiers sets.
I need that killer orange!

Anyway, these dice as a whole were always REALLY good to me in play. Whether I was DMing or a player these dice rock! As any gamer I have had tons of Dice over the years but I have given away all the other dice in favor of using these exclusively!

Here are mine:
