    Another improvement I am hoping to make, as a result of my gaming video effort, is potentially a shift in the placement of each player.  Naturally, everyone has a difference voice volume.  However, this makes it troublesome on the video audio, since some players are close to the microphone and loud, and others are far…

    While I have been editing the latest game session video, I noticed that the number of quests and missions the group is being asked to tackle is starting to grow quite a bit, and there is some confusion starting to creep in.  In addition, I am having my own difficulties managing and remembering all the…

    An unfortunate side effect of the effort to record our gaming sessions is the lengthy amount of time required for the editing of the video.  Initially, I was posting the videos in nearly raw format, which means the 5 hour session was posted as a 5 hour video, complete with all the sides conversations, distractions,…

    As if I don’t have enough distractions, I am going to attempt to add yet another one, related to hobby and gaming efforts that have been shelved for quite some time.  A long time ago, I used to paint miniatures for roleplay and wargaming, a task I enjoyed but as life came along, could not…

    So I haven’t been that successful continuing my ongoing chain of postings recently, after missing yesterday’s deadline yet again.  The good news is the habit is strong enough to make me realize the miss, but not strong enough to keep me from avoiding it. In truth, I have been allowing myself to get rather distracted.…

    Although we haven’t played in quite a while, we are resuming our alternate gaming group this coming Sunday, and starting/continuing a campaign based on the Warhammer FRP game (second edition version).  This is not the Pathfinder Rise of the Runelords group, but actually my original group of far more experienced players. Its been a few…

    In my continuing quest to fine tune my home computer network, I am tackling another reorganization.  Currently, this website and some other functionality is residing on an Oracle VM Virtual Box configuration, running several virtual machines which each in turn run Ubuntu.  It dawned on me, that the same computer which runs the virtual box…

    As previously posted, I run much of my home network (and this website) on a FreeNAS server, currently running version 9 after a recent downgrade from the failed version 10 release.  Recently, FreeNAS 11 was released as a stable version, so I have been eager to upgrade to the new functionality – but hesitant due…
