Hello from longtime lurker

[306prairiegirl]

Hi everyone!

I wanted to introduce myself, as I’ve been a hardcore lurker for a few years now. I live in Saskatchewan, Canada and am an avid supporter of the arts.

I am not an active gamer, as I’ve not anyone local to game with. However, I do love to paint any and all things miniature. I’ve picked up so many useful tips and tricks from everyone here - thank you!

I did participate in the Analogue Hobbies Painting Challenge (XII) but I cannot keep up with that crazy pace!

Thanks for letting me hang out in the shadows.

I’ve included a picture of a project from this year to pay the painting tax!

(I really hope I did this right!!)

Welcome to LAF! It is a cool place to chat about painting and I’m sure people will be interested in hearing about your projects, even if they’re not used in games. (Awesome Cat in the Hat!)

Welcome to the funny farm! I suspect many are lurkers, as was I at the start before joining.
Enjoy doing what you are doing and let us see some painted figures!

Hello Canada!
Have you considered scratching your gaming itch by using email?

Welcome!  You should try solo, there are some great dedicated rules available but you’ll also soon get comfortable with playing ‘both sides’ and be able to use any ruleset that calls to you.

I have played a few games- that’s what got me into the hobby. (I love  :)Moonstone) Unfortunately the group I played with is in another city and the driving was too much. I have played a few games solo. It’s just so overwhelming to know where to start!

Hello!!! I’m up for pretty much anything, I’d just need to understand the process

Thank you! What an encouraging post! It has been a challenge to find my place in the hobby and your words really hit home!

Haha! I’m no stranger to the Funny Farm! I will definitely share some more of my projects. Thank you!

I’ve always enjoyed reading the posts at LAF and now I’m enjoying posting! Thank you for the warm welcome. I appreciate your encouragement and compliment on my Cat in the Hat!

There must be some game you could use your Cat in the Hat for? He’s beautifully painted. Do you have Thing 1 and Thing 2. In wargaming terms they could clearly vanquish the Cat in the Hat. They just seemed a lot more focused…

Welcome aboard!

Holy carp, there's a painting tax? I'm in trouble.

Welcome, from Ottawa! I love the Cat you painted.

LAF is a big tent, and super helpful. Enjoy!

Now you have my mind racing about a Dr Seuss scenario! 

Welcome aboard! 

Oh no!! Did no one tell you?! Haha!
