R.I.P. old buddy.
Btw Don Munsell was the first that Fish could recall that used published scenarios at an event. RIP guys.Stavka's thread about the tournament using only scenarios published in 2023 got me thinking about scenarios for tournaments.
Wwbitd when you went to a SL tournament the scenarios were all fresh, sight unseen by most of the attendees. Usually designed by the tournament director. Using scenarios published in 2023 reminds me slightly of that.
That was hit or miss as far as the quality and playability of scenarios in a tournament situation. Playtesting was minimal and most playtest groups were small. I think that TD designed scenarios for an event has gone out of style but would be interested to know how it is still in practice.
If you ever meet Mark Nixon ask him to give you a copy of Mud Madness. Be sure to mention me as suggesting the request.
Yes, the Bounding Fire tournament in Blackpool in November uses unreleased BFP scenarios. Last year, some from the ECZ pack were also in the mix.I think Blackpool uses new Bounding Fire scenarios.
Post progress pictures. I've not seen Bill's set but loved Nadir's ones. He said that was where he got the inspiration.This week I was diagnosed this week with depression, ended up on sick leave and medications, today I've taken my first dose. To lessen the anxiety of potential side effects of taking pills, and lighten up the mood in general, I've decided that today is the day that I'm gonna spray me some countersheets - I will try to Bill Cirillo* my set as best as I can! Krylon ready, Oregon Deluxe ready, sheets ready, house evacuated.
If anyone comes to complaint because of varnish in the air, I'm going to defend myself that this is a pre-psychotherapy before actual psychotherapy kicks in.
*To Bill Cirillo a set - to make it a piece of art.
Olli has three arms!I've made it! Starter Kit 1 sprayed, clipped and sorted into a GMT tray (figured out it'll be better choice for SK counters than Raaco).

Overall an hour of spraying, two hours of drying, and an hour and a half of clipping (Ollie, how do you do that, my hands hurt already!).
Thank you, Bill!
That's not what his wife says!Olli has three arms!

Hope the operation went well!Lol years of practice gets easier over time before the latest op last week on
My clipping hand I was still able to do around 15 counters a minute!
Heal quickly. Clippers everywhere look to you for inspiration!Mmm sort of had to go back to A& E on Saturday due to pulled stitches and open wound but better now !
They're probably contemplating changing sides.SK 2 done, I've noticed some small "milky" effect on sides of couple of Italian counters, but otherwise it's fine. All in all this is pretty reversable, so I might just scrap gently the varnish off and repeat the process.
