Dig the little gold sandtimer hat. More cherubs should have funny little hats.

Who was the mysterious Game Master running our first EVER public demos of Tunnels & Trolls: A New Age? You guess it, it was Scott Malthouse, one of our new authors!

(yes next time we will consider a wizards hat)

I don’t want to explain to the world what a sandtimer is

sandtimer.toolten.io This might do it? Can mute it in the settings and change the timer by clicking it.

A new entry in my collection of 3M games: FOIL by Frederick A. Herschler, from 1970. A word-making and guessing game, quite clever, a little dated BUT LOOK AT THOSE PRODUCTION VALUES. Leather-effect box, proper slipcase, lovely vacuum-formed pieces (note the hole for the sandtimer to sit in). /cont

Painted front cover of a board-game called FOIL, showing a man and a woman standing aound giant letter-cards, with a huge hourglass in the background.

Back cover of the board game FOIL, a photograph showing a modern (by the standards of the 1970s) living room, with avant-garde armchair, glass coffee table, and the game itself laid out ready to play on a wooden card table.

The board game FOIL, showing the outer slipcase and the inner leather-effect box.

Interior of the box of the board game FOIL, showing the players' card-racks, two decks of playing cards with the card-backs printed with the game's cover art, a sandtimer with white sand sitting in a hole in the vacuum-formed plastic interior, and six letter cards, not spelling anything.

Me too. I was so convinced she would do a Truman Show exit it out of it at some point. And I still think the shapes on it are a sandtimer like she’s in during the Karma video.

A picture disc showing the album artwork for The Jester Race. In front of an orange, stormy sky is a castle, with a sandtimer built into the rock and the carved face of jesterhead.

retrying this, b/c I think my previous attempt read as a "bad take"
I struggle comprehending "measurement in time" when I read rule books.
"10 minute" rounds, that sort of thing, confounds me. to me, a sandtimer is more visual, and easier for timekeeping.
that's it, nothing offensive

Started a mock-up of my final piece, the wings will be in silver and the sand timer in copper. Next week I'm tidying it up and getting some texture on it.

The second picture is another idea I've had rolling around my head, might make it, might not.

Roughly cut copper sheet in three pieces, on the left a feathered wing, on the right a bat wing and in the middle a sandtimer.

Necklace sketch of Aziraphale and Crowley in the opening credits style. Crowley is dangling from Aziraphale's hands.
