 Genesis 39

Potiphar recognizes something different about Joseph.  The prison warden also notices something different about Joseph. 

We aren't told what this difference is. I have to believe that they saw God at work in Joseph, and that Joseph was a righteous man.  We do know that Joseph refused to cheat with Potiphar's wife, and we do know that God had a plan for Joseph to save the region from a severe famine.  

Psalm 38

My guilt overwhelms me because of my sins.

Proverbs 8

I hate pride, corruption and perverse speech.  

As usual, Psalm 38 and Proverbs 8 just seem to speak to me.  I must learn to hate pride, corruption and perverse speech.  I think I'm good with the first two, but as the Bible says, the tongue can not be tamed.  And my language can still be foul.  I have been working on it hard for a long time, and I will continue to work on it.  The problem is of course, bad habits developed when I was younger.  Since I did not do as I should when I was younger, I am now suffering for those actions.  

All I can do is ask forgiveness, and ask the Lord for help.

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...
