Train Raiders: Play a Little Somethin’

As our office campaign game day approaches, we’re sliding Pirate Friday to today. We’ve added a musical bully to our growing list. Care to strum along?

It’s not easy being a pirate, ya know. There are momentary glimpses of adrenaline-pumping fun but also a whole bunch of downtime. Our newest Hovertrain crew member is here to keep everyone from getting bored out of their mind. Plus, it’s trickier to turn on your teammates if a catchy tune is playing in the background.

Today’s magical minstrel comes from Arbiter Miniatures. We just love the STL sculpt and pirate details. Plus, doesn’t he sorta remind you of Gaston from Beauty and the Beast? Looks like he was a one-time freebie download on Printables or Thingiverse, but we all know those fab deals come and go. Gotta be quick with your clicks!

Resident painter Kimmy Utah gleefully accepted this color request. The blues are perfectly suited for our overconfident musician, while the flowing blonde locks and sideburn chops make the cut of his jib even better.

Now for the particulars of our mad maestro!

• Colorful Name: Notes (and that’s it)
• Character Race: Human
• Member Rank: Minstrel
• Key Role: Entertainer
• Painted Miniature: Arbiter Miniatures, Male Bard
• Weapon of Choice: Meat Cleaver (handaxe 5e stats)

Notes isn’t too keen on sharing details about his non-pirate days. In fact, when pressed, his fierce rage becomes apparent. These days, he’s content strumming for pirates and throwing down a Bless and Bardic Inspiration when duty calls.

Until next time!
