Hanging back

I've finally caught up with the blogs in the rolls and my head is swimming with ideas. I feel just a little like this poor woman, but since none of the bloggers is "an unspeakable horror from hell" (probably), it's more "Fantastic!" and "Weird!" than "Horrifying!" She at least doesn't need to worry about her figure now.

I'll get back to you on more than a few of the ideas - count on that - but for now there's work to be done. A while back I put up a post aimed at tieing up loose ends in our reaches of the blogosphere, and the time has come to do it again. On my recent jumps I've found a fair few bloggers calling for backup.

Here we go.

First up is Ricalope at Ricalopia, who has a scratchbuilt walker and is wondering whether anyone can suggest rules for its use in the GW specialist game Inquisitor.

Warpaintguy at WarPaint has two loose ends, or rather two open ends. That is to say he has two requests. First, can anyone reading confirm this rules clarification for a missile-equipped space marine landspeeder? Second, he's after any suggestions for the direction of a new and unfamiliar Ork army.

At A Gentleman's Ones the gentlemanly b.smoove has requests for assistance in the production of Kill Zone, first with graphic design, second with tokens and / or markers and third with ideas for Secondary Objective and Fate cards. This is your chance for glory. Any and all fans of skirmish games and / or the 40K universe should take a look at the game itself too, which is available completely free of charge at Galaxy in Flames.

I have one this time too, re rules for recreating Ghostbusters, and it's in the comments below this well-rounded post at Carmen's fun painty time. Evilcartoonist has pointed me in a good direction, but I do still wonder if there wasn't a licensed version too.

Less of a request and more a pair of contests, Loquacious is looking for a slogan and banner for her blog, World of Wonder, and will even give things away to the successful parties. You've got a month so don't rush off - there's more here yet, much more...

... and this is it. The frank and adult-oriented Playing D&D With Porn Stars has a very special project underway, and anyone can get involved. The gigacrawler. It may not be as seedy as it might sound, but who knows? I can't do it justice here so take a look if you have time, mental capacity and ideally ideas to spare. Thanks to Old School Heretic for making sure I found out early - NetherWerk's related post is well worth a read.

The light fades here at the bottom of the post, and the outer dark closes in - Swords Against the Outer Dark to be exact, where Shane Mangus is looking to raise funds to keep the art flowing and has practical copies up for sale.

If you need funds too and have hobby materials to part with, don't forget the Scavenger's Depot, Zanazaz's community market stall.

I do actually have more than the ghostbusting this time - if you can add to the lists of hobby-inspiring films from the seventies, or fictional timelines or mines, go right ahead.

I'll see you there, and in this space when I've got all the new thoughts more in order.
