Wargear Studio - Gaming, Wargaming, Miniatures and More!

Home

Wargear specializes in painting miniatures for wargaming and roleplaying, and creating realistic and attractive wargame terrain pieces, as well as providing a home on the web for whatever miniature gaming stuff I find interesting. This website originally started as a site to promote my miniatures painting side business, but it has grown to be a more general wargames, miniatures and RPG resource site which I hope will be helpful to all gamers!

If only I had the time

Not enough hours in the day! There's tons of great games that are out or are coming out that I want to play:

Fallout 3
Total War Empires
Fable II
GTA IV and Bully (PC editions)

I recently bought and have been playing the Wrath of the Lich King expansion for World of Warcraft. So far I'd rate it "more of the same", but I haven't even hit 71 yet. Some of the vehicle missions are pretty fun! I've also played the demo of Left 4 Dead - pretty sweet! Makes me want to run a zombie game. I did buy All Things Zombie , but as with so many things, I never manage to get time to pay it, even solo much less with others.

Plus I've been wanting to work on some more gaming terrain. Real life just keeps interfering. And with the holidays approaching, I doubt things will get any better!

My (fairly lame) 4th Ed. D&D review

Well, I went out and bough the D&D 4th Edition player's handbook last week. I've actually been playing this with my gaming group basically since it came out, but I kept putting off getting the book, mainly because I wasn't sure it was worth the cost ($35)...

I'm not a huge D&D fan, never have been. I've always thought it was a little silly and unrealistic. A few examples that pop into mind from 2nd edition (which I played a lot of during college) - one minute combat rounds (how many fights do you think actually last more than a minute?) and the ridiculous damage system. I mean, last time I checked, you could be killed by a dagger with one hit - no matter who you are. It's obviously a deadly weapon. However, in D&D it would take lots of hits to kill a high-level character. Combine that with one minute combat rounds and you get some silliness. Like spending half an hour knifing someone before they die.
