Thoughts On - Life and Trump (Updated)

 Hey Y'all,                                                                                                                    1st November 2024

                 Another quick update for you. I have been doing my 72 mm Vikings, the base painting is pretty well complete on them, as you cannot see much detail on that scale. I will mount them onto lolly sticks for the time being. I will be able to test the Oathmark rules with them, to see if they are to my taste before I buy the books and models. My pal Richard J, has bought the rules and the makings of an army for me to attack. (The figures he bought were 10 mm scale, my 72 mm Viking warriors were too big and did not fit. Such is life.)

 How Richard managed to paint that small is beyond me, I had a hard time painting my Vikings, compared to my usual 28 mm figures.

15th November -  We did a test game and then tried a scenario from the rules (No 4.) Which I will do a quick description of later.

I have been helping a mate who has just had her flat broken in for the second time. It is very disheartening what people will do to other people.

P.S. Good luck with the Election, America. You need it, as it is going to be close. I'm rooting for Kamala Harris, but I can't vote, I am not a US citizen.

P.P.S. - Shame on you, Buzz Aldrin, for supporting Trump. I thought better of you.

18 November 2024.

P.P.P.S. After one week of being President-Elect, the Cabinet Trump has chosen is being hailed as the most incompetent ever. The Climate Change Electee is a Climate denier and is pro Oil and Gas companies.

 Only now are Trump voters realising what Trump had been promising was directly opposite to their values and needs. The stock market is crashing. ( 75% chance of a recession coming). The care packages that many of them rely on is going to be ripped up. They just did not do research into what he was actually proposing, just listened to the slogans, guessing what they meant.

Thoughts On - Alien RPG 10

 Hi Everybody,

                        Here is the latest Alien instalment for you.

30 August 2024 - Edan is in a big sample tube, but the alien refuses to "Face Hug" it, it seems scarred. The "Mother" Computer decides at that point to keep Edan for itself. Charles tries to save Edan. Rooster tried to strangle Edan. Douglas tried to save Edan from Rooster. Cobold was then told to throw a grenade into the room, by Cowboy, to kill Edan. Cobold hates kids and it was an order, so he does so.

"BOOM"!

Spanner the Robot dog got blown up, and black pus is coming out. Rooster is paralysed in the blast and loses one ear. Bishop disappeared. The Doc suffered a gouged eye and a damaged thigh. Edan's Cryo Pod is destroyed. He suffers a punctured lung and is unconscious. Douglas looses one arm. Ava - 7 Has damage to one arm. The Robot Dog develops a red eye in its forehead. Eva King has now got control of the Robot Dog through the headset. Shepherd suffers a lost leg and the snake is getting ready to attack him, but Cobalt kills the snake in the nick of time. It expells black goo.

The Robot dog starts shooting bolts at Cowboy - He gets 1 hit and takes 1 stress for the wound. Eva is coming to help. Sheperd throws a sample case at the Dog, it bounces off its armour. Cowboy gets into the Mini Gun adapted wheelchair and tried to contact the dog. (Stress has gone up to 9). But he panics and flees the area.

Officer Badog - He flees with Cowboy. Hunter the mechanic shoots at the dog and misses. Eva tries to control the dog with the head controller and fails. Ava 7 is going to bandage Rooster. The Dog reactivates. Eva gets a shock and the Controller falls off her head. The Dog shoots at Shepard.

Meanwhile, Rooster is jerked awake by someone falling against the Autodoc. Paralysed and only with hearing in only his left ear. But it is enough to hear Shepergd scream with fear outside the Auto-Doc.

He yells "What's going on out there?".

He can hear the retreating footsteps of Cowboy as he runs away in panic.

Rooster clamps his eyes tight with fear.....

That's where we will leave it for now. Until next time,

Regards from John, Kitty, Richard and myself,
