A Hunting Encounter that is Bound to End Poorly

[@thenerdbeast7375]

What I like about the name Forestall is it implies that it isn't a magic bullet that shields the user; it will delay a monster, make it hesitant or dissuade them allowing the human travelers to take appropriate action but if a monster is motivated enough fear or anger they will power through it so the humans need to be respectful as they travel as to not interrogate or provoke.

[@bobburke7839]

This whole time I thought it was pronounced "Force-doll."

[@Calamitious]

I interpreted it a bit different, in that scenario the rat was not scared away by the high frequency noise of the forestall because it was not an animal tracked in that region. So the hunters tried to shoot it with a shotgun to scare it in time to change the forestall to a different region with that particular animal. However the rat was not scared by the shotgun because it was angry and killed the hunters

[@jaket8947]

@@Calamitious Exactly. Except that was an opossum.

[@otyugsdisplacerbeasts7943]

The giant opossum isn’t a monster, he’s just misunderstood. He’s all hiss and no bite. He’s just a (not so) lil guy. He’s actually very cute and eats pests (and like maybe a person or two, but what’s one or two people, right?)

[@TheAquarianibis]

He's just doing his best :nods sagely:

My colleagues got me into tabletop RPGs (one them is a real old school DnD fan, been playing since it first came out) and I've put them onto your channel, the old dude especially loves these since he's been making dioramas since he was a kid. We're all very excited for the release of the Wild Imaginary West RPG.

[@Kneon_Knight]

Ah, yes, back when Tactical Studies Rules was still the publisher. Best version of the game IMHO is 2nd Edition AD&D. Everything WotC touches turns to shite.

[@lionessoftor4139]

I'd love to see a shadow person/creature made with 4.0 paint. Maybe cowboys around a fire have to many shadows. Also, can't wait for the game!

[@Someone_in_the_comments]

Thank you for answering my question about how you get the figures off their bases. There's a right tool for every job.

[@jaypockets]

Great work! If I can make a recommendation, when you have models like these where the clear resin meets the end of the base/stage (like the water), soften the edge so it is slightly rounded, that way it isn't sharply reflecting/refracting light and you can also get rid of any small chips/imperfections. Just brushing that edge with some high-density sandpaper and a gloss varnish (or even just the ripple medium) to bring back the clarity should do the trick. It'll help the water flow into the background better since it's there won't be so many highlights at the edge. Also, because of the viscosity of the resin, it's always higher around the edges than it is in the center, so you want to mitigate that as much as you can.
