the Series Begins...
Into the BeanStalk
Jack is a techie and long-time shut-in, driven to save her father from corporate servitude. That means getting her hands on scrip, and lots of it. Going into debt with the most violent bikers in Hope Megacity will get her the cybernetic limbs she needs to overcome her disabilities, but that’s only the beginning.

In the push to produce more for my patrons, I've added my first board game review video to Patreon! (TL;DR for why: I decided I needed to diversify my content if I was going to come up with several videos a week.) https://www.patreon.com/posts/board-game-141503792?utm_medium=clipboard_copy&utm_source=copyLink&utm_campaign=postshare_creator&utm_content=join_link #unstoppable #boardgame #review #patreon #scifi

So I fed two of my Gaslands models into the singularity and it came up with this. 😂 I found it equal parts cool and hilarious, so I might have to play around with it. #gaslands #miniatures #postapocalyptic #cyberpunk #gaming

Set up a small crafting station in the living room so I can spend time with the missus outside of my studio 😂 Been wanting one of these mini toolboxes for a bit but couldn't justify the price until Harbor Freight started selling them for $18! #gaslands #miniatures #tools #crafting #craftingismytherapy

Spent a lot of time on this #gaslands version of Evelyn, and I wanted to get some images and video before I get into distressing it! Finding the right WRX model to base it on was hard enough. #twistedmetal #peacocktv #tabletop

#gaslands car (one of my first) with bits added. Gotta admit, turning Hot Wheels into wasteland game pieces is addictive. #tabletopgames
