I've actually been a tabletop gamer since 1987 but put down the brushes a while ago. My 5-year old boys have shown a strong interest in my old miniatures, so I'm starting to teach them how to paint and play (grossly simplified rules -- they just move the figures and roll dice). I also used to run a painting website, Mike Kan Paint, which I am in the process of overhauling and updating.

Anyways, I'm going to seek input on some of the articles here and thought I'd say hi.
