02/05/2024 Bible Reading

 Genesis 36:
This chapter is a list of Esau's descendants.

I don't understand what God is trying to tell us here, and that is okay.  Not all mysteries need to be revealed today.  Some will be revealed in due time

Psalm 36: 
All humanity finds shelter in your wings.  

King David saw that God was not just the God of the Israelites, but the God of all humans everywhere.  It would take right at a 1,000 years to see this fulfilled in Jesus, but fulfilled it was. 

Some days I read the Bible, and I don't get a lot of out it.  I don't know why.  Maybe there isn't much to get out of these verses, maybe I'm just not in the right mindset to hear God speaking to me.  The Bible says that all scripture is God-breathed and useful for teaching, that doesn't mean that I am going to understand everything that the Bible says today.  

I'm still very much like a child some days, instead of getting meat, the Lord feeds me milk.  He knows what we need, when we need it.  I can only keep studying, and one day He will reveal to me the purpose behind these words.  

I have a feeling the Esau saga is to show us why the various people around Israel, have historically fought against them.  It is clear that Jacob cheated Esau of his birthright, and if you have studied any history, for some reason, people's have held grudges for hundreds and thousands of years.

WW1 and to a lesser extent WW2 were caused by feuding from the Frank and Goth people hundreds of years ago.

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...
