I'm lucky in that my wife will humour me and play the wargames I play with me. She allows me to have a work table in the dining room loaded with paints, models and my airbrushes, but there are times when she kills a game/setting.
I've been building terrain to go on a board for games of Maelstrom's Edge. I've put some of the figures together and started painting them. Both myself and my wife read Faith and Sacrifice - and loved them. The Maelstrom's Edge universe seemed to be the Sci-fi setting to believe in.
or
On the paint table at the moment are some Epirian Drones. I've been testing out colour schemes and finally settled on one I was happy enough with. (A pretty standard one by all accounts)
Everything was fine, the setting was believable in my head, until my wife told me the spider drones reminded her of these from her childhood;
D'Oh.
Now I can't unsee them.
I'm also a little worried that when I deploy those Spider Drones, she's going to start pressing the backs of them to make them jump.
:-O
