 Genesis 2:
God created man and woman, gave them one rule, and they promptly broke it.  And rather than accept responsibility, they compounded the original sin by trying to hide it.  This seems to be a common human pattern.  Many people today refuse to acknowledge when they do wrong.  They refuse to accept personal responsibility for their actions.

Psalm 2:
Serve the Lord with reverent fear.  This seems to tie in nicely with Genesis chapter 2.  Clearly hindsight is 20/20, but if Adam and Eve had served the Lord with reverent fear, where would the world be today?  

Proverbs 2:  

God grants wisdom.  From Him comes understanding and knowledge.  Of course they do, without Him, there is no wisdom, no understanding, and no knowledge.  Again this seems to tie in well with the story of original sin, sin is easy to fall into, but with God's wisdom, we can overcome anything.

When Nightmares Come (Osprey Bluebook series)

Last week I picked up a copy of When Nightmares Come by Patrick Todoroff.  It is a game of modern supernatural investigation.   Think Ghostbusters, Stranger Things, Scooby Doo.  The concept seems fun, and the rules seem pretty simple.    There are three character types, a warrior, a wizard, and a tinker/mechanic.  It uses a dice pool mechanic consisting on d6, d8 and d10.  Everything works off a success of 4+, and you can use the dice as you see fit to make sure your actions succeed.  There were a few errors here and there,  my favorite being 288mm scale.  I am of course now tempted to print a figure at that scale.  Maybe I can use some busts.  Anyways, this is a common complaint about the Blue Book series, the minor typos here and there.  They don't bother me too much.   I think the rules look fun, I think the game will play well.  I am excited to print and paint some new models as always.  I am a...

Mythic Earth (formerly Mythic Americas)

Crossposted on Splendor of Fire  I was watching the Joy of Wargaming YouTube channel as I am wont to do. It is a great channel, and Mr. Wargaming is a really swell guy. For some reason he was in New Jersey, and found Mythicos Studios. Which is a wargaming store and studio. They produce the game Mythic Earth (formerly known as Mythic Americas, based on the Warlords of Erewhon ruleset from Warlord Games). I just realized how crazy this whole thing sounds. There were/are a lot of moving parts going on here. I saw the game probably during the pandemic, and wanted to get into it, but life got in the way. I am coming to the realization that I need to actually start playing games with my toys, and stop printing and painting so much. Anyways, as always I digress from the point of this article. The rules for Mythic Earth are on the always free model, which I like. You can find various resources for the game here . I spent the weekend reading through the ruleset. I think I really...
