I roll my d20! Did I hit?!

Ever since moving to this new place, I've met a lot of nerds and geeks. In fact, they're all pretty cool and are not the stereotypical "acne-ridden-no-social-life-reject" that they were made out to be since forever how long ago.

I have recently started roleplaying with a small group of friends. Now mind you, we do not dress up. We do not LARP (live action role play). I play a fighter character named Beatrix (yes, inspired by the general from FFIX). Melee is always so much better and way more enjoyable to play than any other role in my opinion. I used to play as a magic user in MMOs and stuff, but it just wasn't fun. Actually, it sucked. A lot. 

Currently we are playing Pathfinder. I want to try out WH40k since I've been told it's really awesome by a few friends. I'm not entirely sure anymore as to what I'd play as in WH, but I'm sure they'll kick some major ass (just the way I like it!). 

I look forward to playing many more games/campaigns in the future~!

Well, until next time, I leave you with a late night doodle from last game night. ; )

Wonderflex, Y U SO EXPENSIVE?!

So I discovered a nifty product called Wonderflex. It's a thermoplastic material that you can bend and morph into any shape with the help of a heat gun. It is also fairly light weight and you can make some pretty cool shit out of it like armor. It also is able to bond to leather, wood and fabric. Here is a great example of what you can do with Wonderflex:

   
Armor and all work made by Kamui
 
So I decided that once I got my paycheck, I would buy some so I could make some bad ass stuff. However, I did not realize how much this shit costs...It's absolutely ridiculous! As far as I know, there are only 2 US sites that sell Wonderflex. One is cheaper than the other, but their sheets are also smaller. Cosplay Supplies is the site that offers the cheaper/smooth Wonderflex whereas Dazian sells the more expensive, but larger sheets.

At the moment, I am in a conundrum...Should I spend a little more to get the bigger sheets or save money and buy the smaller ones? As I said before, I don't really know what I'd make, but I do know that I want to make something. 

On a completely out of nowhere side note, I am suddenly able to draw again! I've drawn 5 pictures already since last night and I'm mostly proud of them. And on another random thought, I now own a mountain bike! It was $25 at Goodwill and I need to replace the back tire. That is something I can handle quite easily. Everything else appears to be in working condition on the bike, so I'm a happy camper!

Until the next time I am able to update, bye-bye~!

Behold! My Tonberry King. :D
