What He Said

Posted on May 22, 2016 by Quirkworthy

I’m not a regular watcher of particular channels, or a regular reader of specific blogs. Having said that, there are some I return to again and again. One YouTube channel I like is Tabletop Minions, and in case you don’t … Continue reading →

Skirmish Plans

Posted on May 21, 2016 by Quirkworthy

l’ve been working on a 5-year plan of late. It’s an enlightening change of hat to ponder stuff in this temporal scale, when most projects last a far shorter time, and the daily grind is, of course, daily. Most of … Continue reading →

UniCast Up Close

Posted on May 13, 2016 by Quirkworthy

More UniCast Stuff

Posted on May 12, 2016 by Quirkworthy

Just got a packet from Prodos with some UniCast samples in. Interesting for a few reasons. Firstly, these look like production casts from their current line, all boxed and shrink-wrapped. Presumably that means volume is not an issue. Secondly, it … Continue reading →

Rolling In Cash

Posted on May 11, 2016 by Quirkworthy
