You can call me Piper, or, if we&#8217;re friends, you can call me by my real name. I used to be much angrier than I am now, as I seem to have mellowed somewhat with age and whisky. That&#8217;s not an actual picture of me (it looks nothing like me, in fact); but it&#8217;s a dwarf bagpiper; two of the coolest things in the world, in my opinion.<\/p>\n<p>This is Dead Dick&#8217;s Tavern and Temporary Lodging, a place where I relax, muse about my hobby, occasionally vent about things that irk me and often post pictures about my hobby projects or games that I play. In other words, Dead Dick&#8217;s Tavern is kind of like Mr. Brady&#8217;s den, if I was Mr. Brady. The den, you may recall, is where Mr. Brady went to get a minute&#8217;s peace from his weird maid, his harridan wife and his six insufferable brats. (Due to broadcast standards and practices of the time, the network couldn&#8217;t show Mr. Brady in his den, funneling pitchers of martinis down his gullet to escape the hell that was his life. Rest assured, he was.)\u00a0I do not have a weird maid, a harridan wife and\/or six insufferable brats. But I sure like my space. (And my martinis, too.)<\/p>\n<p>What&#8217;s my hobby, you ask? I&#8217;m a gamer. Roleplaying games, tabletop wargames, board games, video games\u2014 I do it all. You&#8217;ll find posts about rpgs and miniature wargames on this site; but mostly miniature painting. I&#8217;ve been doing that since I was in 6th grade, and I&#8217;m considerably older than that now.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;m The Angry Piper.
