  • Boy Scout Summer Camp

    Enjoying some time away from work and the computer this week, at Boy Scout Summer Camp with my son.  As a result, my posts this week will be relevant, but not necessarily timely, since I scheduled them last weekend. At this point, I am likely tired, dirty, and sore, but having a lot of fun…

  • Meet the characters – Angel, Human Combat Medic

    Victor Ivanov was recruited into the Soviet military services at an early age, and trained to fight and kill in service of the corporations.  Eventually, beaten, broken, and a bit unbalanced, he was discarded as “waste”, sent on a desperate mission which resulted in the death of his companions.  As the only survivor, thanks to…

  • Meet the characters – Norsca, Troll meat-shield

    Norsca is our Troll “meat-shield” character, for our new/upcoming Shadowrun campaign.  He is designed to be a melee brawler and main target, thus his general role as shield.  Typically, such a character would be termed a street-samurai, but that implies far more skill, style, and training than Norsca actually has.  Instead, the troll prefers very…

    Our Shadowrun campaign started off a bit rough on Friday.  As expected, we of course had a number of technical issues, but we also had several unavailable players, and unfinished characters.  The intent to stream worked well enough, though it had it own problems as well. The biggest issue we ran into seemed to be…

  • Bucket List

    In preparation for Boy Scout summer camp with my son next week, I managed to mark off a bucket list item, and decided to dye my hair.  For years, I have wanted to try out a crazy or unnatural color, both to be fun, and to be a bit rebellious.  However, with my work schedule,…

  • 4th of July

    Enjoying the holiday with family, and not working today, so not much of any updates.  Will be out in the heat using up last years fireworks, and enjoying some summer grilling.  Have a safe and fun 4th.

  • Shadowrun preparations

    Starting to finalize characters and graphics, and work on programming and setting up adventures in the Roll20 framework.  So far, I have the initial intro adventure (Fast Food Fight) all set up and ready to go (its only a single scene), and most of the first full adventure.  I am planning on using the content…
