Hobby, Thoughts, Fiction, and More
The wedding feast of Lydia Freihaus to Benjamin Stutzman occurred the day before and the mess still lingered, cluttering the small house and the field between it and the barn with discarded remnants of festivities. Leafy celery stalks sat in water filled mason jars surrounded by the skeletal remains of turkeys, chickens, and roasts on […]
I’m not even German. I’m American. And, even then, ethnically, I’m mostly Swedish. If I’m German, it’s mixed in there with the rest of my American mutt heritage. So I don’t really know how I ended up running the Necromunda Discord server in Hamburg, Germany. I think it was just a right place at the […]
Dark Matter is a novel by the author of the mind-bending works Wayward Pines and Recursion, Blake Crouch. It’s a short, punchy work of fiction that takes some interesting concepts from physics and builds a dynamic and fascinating tale around them. It’s not a perfect book. The characters aren’t always fully developed, and some of […]
If everything works out the way it’s supposed to, by the end of this week I should have my grubby little hands on the new Necromunda:Warhammer:Skirmish boxset (or is it Skirmish:Necromunda:Warhammer…?) and books to pour over endlessly and compare and contrast with the old. And, if I’m really lucky, I might have enough to say […]
Welp… one week later and it’s official, the Goliaths have been announced to be receiving their new Necromunda Journal and a line up of champion miniatures. The closeness of these two announcements has be actually believing that it’s more likely than not that both these journals, models, and card sets will probably all go up […]
I am a stupid geek who loves memes about my hobby. I can’t help it. They’re just often too good. And correct. What’s best about a good meme is that it captures something absolutely true about its subject and, when it comes to hobby memes, I think these have us dead to rights. Hopefully these […]
My wife and I were at a couple’s house for dinner that we’re good friends with. They’re avid game players. Or… at least he is. She might be game because he likes games so much. But, together, we’ve played a lot of games together in a large part because they have so many! It’s a […]
I know people who are masters in their skills with a brush. They can paint anything onto the most tiny surface. And, yet, they swear off decals as being too big of a pain in the ass. If you’ve painted more than a couple miniatures, you’ve probably gotten a sheet of transfers with a set […]
One of the inspirations for relaunching spudWorks was the news that Dark Matter, the AppleTV series was actually renewed and coming back for a second season. If this seems like an odd reason to dust off a URL and bring it back to life as a hobby/fiction/review site, that could be understood. After all, shows […]
This is some good news. I was speculating with others on the Hamburg Necromunda Discord about whether Chem Alchemy had been written out of the new gang books. Based on leaked images of the table of contents, it didn’t look like they were getting much more than ten pages per gang so that didn’t leave […]
