  • Zombicide: Black Plague

    On Sunday, as planned, we played a game of Zombicide: Black Plague, instead of our regular Pathfinder game (due to a lack of players).  Overall, it was a strong success, everyone seemed to have a great time.  We only ended up playing Quest 1 – Big Game Hunting, and after a lot of cooperation (and…

  • RuneWars Miniatures

    Got the opportunity to play some RuneWars Miniatures with my younger son over the weekend – a game he picked up a few weeks ago and had been eager to try.  Not sure if after playing he is fully sold on the game, though he is eager to buy more figures now, but I don’t…

  • Active weekend

    Lots of plans for this weekend, for what was supposed to have been relatively quiet.  Fortunately, most are what I would consider fun activities, so not a big concern.  Tonight we head down to the summer camp to visit my son, who has been at camp all week.  Should be a good moral booster for…

  • Ark server challenges

    I was attempting to configure a custom Ark server for my son, who is eager to try some of the numerous Admin codes, but unfortunately it was overloading my minimal webserver, and preventing WordPress from responding.  As a result, you may have noticed a lot of lag over the last couple of days, or pages…

  • Video challenges

    So here I am on my latest round of work-related travel, when I discover that my intended video sync-up on my laptop did not take place as planned.  As a result, I am stuck downloading the 22 GB file over hotel wi-fi from my home server.  Not a good start to my attempt to get…

  • Zombies on the march

    Due to some scheduling conflicts, we are not going to be having our regular Pathfinder session this week, so I am going to attempt to fill the gap with a game of Zombicide: Black Plague.  Should be a lot of fun, and still be able to occupy the players who are available.  And incidentally gives…

  • Online streaming

    My kids recently have taken an interested in online gaming streaming, specifically around our efforts with Ark: Survival Evolved.  After a bit of discussion, they have encouraged me to try my hand at that sort of effort and content again myself.  I had previously made some short-lived efforts which lived on Twitch, but never really…

  • Hammerhead Corvettes engaging, Imperial Carrier is lost in hyperspace

    Apparently Epic Loot was missing part of their shipment yesterday, so I was only able to obtain the Hammerhead Corvettes for the Rebels.  Not a big concern, since I normally am playing Rebels 🙂  I am sure the Imperial Carrier will arrive sometime in the future, and I will no doubt be back to pick…
