    The other purchase I was focused on during the recent Gencon event was obtaining a copy of the newly released Star Wars X-Wing, revised for a 2nd edition.  Officially, the game is being released I believe in early September to stores, but Fantasy Flight had brought an overly healthy supply to the convention for early…

    During the recent Gencon convention, my son and I had the opportunity to do a short playtest of the new mechanics being rolled out for Pathfinder 2nd Edition.  Nothing super fancy, just a basic combat scenario with low level characters, to see what the differences were.  We were teamed up with 3 other players, two…

    Had a fun mini-vacation with the family over the weekend, attending Gencon this year.  We only went for the Sunday “family day”, mainly to save a bit on cost, but realized after the fact that that may just not be enough time any longer.  It used to be that a single day was enough to…

    Football season is upon us, and that means my younger son is hard at practice with training for his now 5th grade team.  One of the volunteer duties of the parents is that one person is asked/volunteers to film all of the games, for review by the coaches and players.  Not too hard, but something…

    Over the years, I have had more than a few occasions to smell the nearby presence of a skunk, though fortunately never have we had a direct confrontation.  This despite curious dogs, and more than a few known critters in our neighborhood. Unfortunately, last night around 2 AM, our dog managed to break that streak,…

    For something completely different from my usual gaming related posts, let me shift gears to OneDrive cloud storage.  I have for several years now subscribed to Office365 as a family plan, which not only allows me to use Office software on several computers, but also allows me a different OneDrive account with 1 TB of…

    As a reminder for our upcoming schedule, we will not be continuing our regularly scheduled Roll20 version of Shadowrun this weekend, due to the GenCon convention in Indianapolis.  A number of our players, including myself, will be attending for Family Day on Sunday, to see the sites and take a look at the latest in…

    In our latest session, the group wrapped up the Shimmering Veils of Pride, deep in the Runeforge.  By the end of the session, they had solved several challenges, including a detailed process to create their Dominating weapons, and had clues as to how to eventually escape Runeforge.  In the process, they first had to deal…
