In a recent poll on The Miniatures Page (TMP), in relation to non-GM attendees, they asked:
"If you are just there to attend and/or play some, how far out do you prepare for the con?"That's like a wargaming therapy onion question, unleashing decades and layers of issues from beyond.
To answer the actual question, just attending Mepacon as an attendee on a Sunday in November, has involved me coordinating with friends since August.
To go even further, after announcing my projects for the year, a week and a half later, I announced our plans for Historicon 2026 last weekend.
So is it any surprise that my painting bench is a anomalous timey-whimey mess, with some figures I purchased more than a decade ago, a pile of Historicon purchases from the summer, yet one of the more recent acquisitions getting completed first?
The Modern Accessories pack from Reaper was one of the participation prizes given out during Sword in the Stone Games' belated #FreeRPGDay celebration in August. Six road cones and six jerrycans to flesh out a modern board, all in the better Bones Black material. They are small pieces, and there already is a road cone hiding somewhere in the game room... or right on the painting bench itself.

I already painted up a ton of cans bright orange for Death Planet Iota. These are actually painted up more realistically for civilian use.
Red: Gasoline
Yellow: Diesel
Blue: Kerosene
In a world where even the Bones prices seem out of control, the accessory pack for $3.99 seems reasonable.
In the Queue: Some Pulp stuff may have jumped the line, but bore Rebel Commandos and Tiki Island Gnomes are still on the bench, and the mounted OG Mouslings have reared their heads out of the lead pile once again.
Project: 350 - An expected decline to 479 (284 draft/195 scheduled) from 482 (286/196). I've got a lull in scheduled posts in the 2nd half of October, so hopefully I can get some games in.
