Um, so I appear to have lost 11 months or so somewhere - probably down the back of the sofa... :-[
Early last October I thought, "Ah, I have a new assistant at work; the children are back at school; I'll have more time to spend on the Pendraken forum now... 8->" ... then BOOM!!! X_X
So, apart from Lemmy changing his name; the great Pendraken move; and Leman returning to the forum, what have I missed?! :-SS
Ehm ...
Some shows are starting up with a few restrictions.
Hello mate
Mine boils down to 2 new jobs and 4000+ figures painted this year so far!

Spotted that, it's kind of how I fell back onto the forum! :D
Looking forward to Warfare 8) :-SS
Well :-
FSN is still more than a little Eccentric. He has had fewer coats to chew of late, due to social distancing.
Techno keeps on having "Secret projects" - Most of which end up lightening the wallets of forum members
Leon now has his own Realm to dominate. He has a window in his Dark tower to survey all he rules ( and check the casting dwarves are working hard)
Milady has her own realm , although the Dark Lord has yet to finish the garden. :)
Rumour says that Dave furloughed himself to allow him more time to drink coffee.
There have been some silly name changes, as you have observed.
FK has lost every battle to Lee in 2021 :) (sorry I think its actually FK 2 . Lee 35) .
some pretty pics of new figures and member's new armies and countless constructive discussions on:
the correct use of English, dead Badgers and wild life in general, the role of fantasy figures, Covid, the use of corks
and even the very occasional thread on military matters relevant to 10mm gamers.

I don't know which is more worthy of congratulation's, Your birthday , or your win.
HMMMM! Perhaps Lee let you win as it was your birthday ?
But congratulations on both.
I retired I think !

Nothing much, we were just killing time 'til you got back...! :D ;)
There's a lot more dust on some of the masters on my desk.
Cheers - Phil. :)
I may, or may not (more likely), have come back as well... #FFS

Lee was feeling sorry for you :d
Crivvens, another year+ has passed! :'(
I've mostly been playing 5E D&D online since lockdown started - just got into a fight with Tiamat!
Bought some stuff at Colours and - because I was ill - did some painting as part of my convalesce :o

Funny I've been getting into RPGs a bit more lately, just play-by-post or solo as being able to spend a few hours at a stretch doing one thing on a regular basis that isn't work seems like a luxury ;D so dipping in and out when I have time works well. Though means, when I do get an hour or two to myself I have to decide do I want to RPG, wargame, paint or do something else entirely ~X( Need more hours in days.
Quote. . . Need more hours in days.
House-rule it that hours are only 40 minutes long. Et voila - you now have 36 in one day! Simples.

Yeah.
I'd love to paint/craft more, but I'm limited to having to use the dining room table: getting started takes seconds, putting all the bits and pieces I pull out as I get more paint and figures takes hours to put away :'(
Having an fixed RPG evening in the diary is certainly a help.
RPG2 or RPG7?

Don't mention this to the Project Managers at work...

Now,
the most important question, what's Phil calling himself these days?!
Techno II (Greenstuff Boogaloo) is now a guest account. Haven't had a chance for more than a cursory look, but did spot (I think) an extinct Phil2 account... :-/
Try Techno 3, Meirion. ;)
(Then there's Doppelganger, as well) :D
Cheers - Phil :)

Yeah I actually finally got the spare room cleared out* and set up for painting, gaming, hobbying, etc. However, having a baby in the household, hiding away in a spare room for hours on end hobbying isn't really a regular option! Been quite enjoying the creative writing aspects of written RPGs, and easy to dip in and out of on my phone, and play one-handed. It's also quite interesting to see some of the rule differences and similarities between it and wargaming. Gives me some ideas for things to integrate into wargaming when I've the time.
*I say cleared out, the walls are still lined with old wardrobes I'm storing random crap in and there's bags and boxes piled up in one corner. But I have a table up permanently so that's a win.
