Deja Vu

 This post will cause a sense of Deja Vu for the regular readers.    Which I'm always surprised that I have.  You can probably just skim down to the bottom. 

Deja Vu Tokens

Continuing on from the last post, I've made some more dark age themed counter tokens.  

26 more super theme-y dark age tokens

There are now around 50 of these things, and that SHOULD be enough to fit all of my purposes.  

For more Deja Vu sensation; I've also made more dice holders for the 5mm dice.

You could call these Deja Dice.  But that Kinda sounds like a porn star. 

I think I have supplies enough to make around 50 of these as well.  But I'd like to try them out in an actual game first just to see if they aren't too faddily to actually use.

Deja Vu Bases

Continuing on with the grinding out of the big battle bases.  Here are 4 more of the 10 man bases with Anglo Saxons on them.  Yay!  

There they are, all base like.  

Deja Vu Objectives

No wait... these are new-never-seen before.  

I didn't mean to make these.  I just ran out of suitable weapons for the counters and had 4 little bases left over with nothing to put on them.  

Two Objective markers  I decided to make into "fairy rings" because when I had the idea; I liked in theory but I'm not so sure it came off in practice.   But in any case they'll do to mark an area of ground that needs to be fought over while not getting in the way.  Lots of games require such markers.

Earning some Hubby Points

We've talked before about Hubby Points.  Sometimes called $Hubby bucks$.  These are the things you earn by being a good husband and father that you store up and spend to go play games later on and ignore your wife and children.  I just spent all mine on my recent game weekend so am in dire need of some more.  Every man earns them differently; I mainly get hubby points by doing the dishes, folding clothes, watching Jane Austen movies, and vacuuming the floor without being asked.  Flowers help too.  When you have a baby like I do there are extra opportunities to earn points by changing especially stinky overburdened diapers.  

My wife is also the Girl Scout troop leader of daughter #1.  When she had the idea that a fun Girl Scout meeting would consist of racing mini-donuts down a track of some sort but then despaired of not having such a track; I capitalized on the opportunity to earn BUCCO Hubby Points by offering to build it.  

Then naturally put it off till the last minute.  But a promise is a promise and a promise to your spouse is more like sacred oath that if broken will call down the gods of vengeance.  

I made two.  One 'race track' down a long slope and one 'skill track' where the girls could try to aim the donuts going the slope into target holes. 

These weren't anything that had to be permanent so I made these out Foamboard that I got from the dollar store and a hot glue gun.  Spray painted blue with some painted details.

(These pics were from the iphone movie so aren't the best, but you get the idea.)

Afterwards the girls get to eat the donuts.

Protip: Powdered donuts make great racers.  

Like a lot of things in life about half way through these projects I realized how I could of done it better but it was too late to start over.   Just like my life overall.  

Thanks for reading.  Comments greatly appreciated.  Till next time.
