[also on BGG.]
I'd been returning again and again to the BGG page for Red November, because I like seeing big games in small boxes. But being unemployed, there's probably better things to be saving my money for than spending it on games that I'm too much of a loner to actually get people to play. Heck, I haven't even tried asking my flatmates - but it doesn't help much that they talk amongst themselves in their own language, which I don't understand.
But I caved and bought Red November today, and after "pimping" out the box with a foamcore insert (went waaaaaaaaaay out of my way to get supplies for *that*) and printing off some BGG reference sheets, I stumbled upon the photo of the painted gnomes on Bruno Faidutti's website (he's one of the designers), and I wondered why I didn't think of painting them.
I haven't significantly flexed my miniatures painting muscles since middle school - ever since by doing so it brought about the end of my pursuit of what led me to painting miniatures in the first place. But now I was inspired.
( A bit picture-heavy? )
