I was inspired over the last week, and I took it out with my sculpting. I can see improvements in what I'm doing now, which is really cool because I can see progress. Stuff is still not finished so some of this is still a work in progress.

For our weekly game one of the players is playing a hengeyokai ranger. His idea was explained to me as something like Usagi Yojimbo. I remember reading some Yojimbo in the mid 80's maybe, but I did not remember much of it. The initial pictures ...

Once again I couldn't sleep last night. I hate sitting there just looking at the ceiling. So I went to the basement and started getting things prepared for our next game.

Since I'm running the classic modules A1-A4 (Slavers Series) converted to 4e, I needed some minis that I have not seen mass-produced. So I got a bit busy.

More thoughts on Extended Rests
I think that in my previous writings I've been quite clear about my opinions on the nature of healing surges, and ways to make the game mechanics better fit your "narrative" space. I've included examples of how to make recovery harder, or easier depending on your mood and the needs of your game.

After some consideration I started thinking about why some of the mechanics don't seem to fit, or are inadequate for the "narrative" ...
