Resolutions for 2015

Yes, it is that time again, when we try to resolve ourselves to work ofr a better new year. The 2015 edition, for myself, includes the following:

1. Lose weight. I badly need to lose about 40 pounds.
2. Get a 'full time' job. While my hours are full time, I'm technically an adjunct professor, and therefore a part time employee.
3. Get my son's '74 Dart on the road and out of my garage.
4. Improve relations with my parents. This one will be hard.
5. Three issues of The Aethergraph.
6. Complete two 6mm VSF forces. British and either Germans or Canal Martians.
7. Play more games.
8. Spend less than $250 on new minis and terrain this year. I have a massive backlog of stuff that needs to be tackled before I spend more money on ooh shiny. I predict this will be broken by mid-year.
9. Paint 100 15mm minis.
10. Paint 100 25mm minis.
11. At least one post per week here and on The Scattergun Gamer.
12. Participate in the Lead Adventure Forum's painting contest.

That's a lot of gaming goals, I know. But, besides work and family, it's what I do.

Merry Christmas to All!

Aethergraph Vol. 3, #3 Now Available

   An issue mostly dedicated to In Her Majesty's Name, but I think, I hope, that any VSF fan can find useful information in it for their own games or settings.

   I'd again like to thank the gentlemen that helped me put it together. Paul, Craig, Charles, and Jim: I couldn't have done it anything like so quickly or so well without your help.

   You can go to the document HERE. I will be adding a link to the sidebar soon for future reference.

The Russians are Coming!

   Mad Robot Miniatures is about to release some really interesting looking new bits. They are designed to be used, I think as Imperial Guard options for WH40K, but... I think they would make great Russian special troops for any VSF game in 28mm.

  So they are on the "buy these sometime" list.

Verne's Quarterly and the Aethergraph Approaches!

   For those of you patiently awaiting the next issue of The Aethergraph, good news! It is almost finished - I hope to release it next week!

   Again, this issue is pretty well dedicated to In Her Majesty's Name. But I hope that anyone could find useful information within its pages.

Here's a tiny teaser:
