    Continuing my builds of Star Wars: Armada scenery, I am trying out an option to 3d print more pieces.  Previously, I had a solution for the various cardboard templates (asteroids, gas clouds, space stations, and debris), and I have model solutions for each piece.  What I was missing with the support rod for each, to…

    Switched gears over the weekend, and started working on a new RPG campaign, to eventually use some sort of virtual tabletop.  Initially, I had considered using Fantasy Grounds, but I am also experimenting now with d20Pro, mainly for its ability to do line of site and individual perspectives.  In our gaming group, we have a…

    Continuing with my design for a space station model for Armada, I have what I believe to be a finished set.  Might end up throwing some paint on it, but the setup already looks pretty good.  Posted is a picture with an ISD Interdictor for scale and comparison.  Note that the base of the station…

    Continuing my efforts at 3d Armada terrain, I printed out a set of stands for the game, that match the existing published cardboard pieces.  In these cases, I can mount a peg (possibly plastic, likely a thin wooden dowel), and then the plan is a set of lava rock stones.  May or may not paint…

    It has been many years, but my model of The Wormwood finally had another use – as the centerpiece for our Cub Scout pirate-themed Crossover ceremony.  This is a paper-craft model I built several years ago, in preparation for the Pathfinder campaign, Skull and Shackles.  Unfortunately, the campaign died off after a bit into the…

    I have been working on trying to enhance the materials for Star Wars: Armada, and have been focused recently on the scenery pieces – the space station and asteroid markers.  With the game, these are simple cardboard pieces, which work, but are not as nice as the full 3d ships and squadrons.  There was a…

    Our group continued the fight against the Scribbler, the chief bad guy of the first part of Chapter 5, who turned out not to be much of a threat – at least not against the overly large player group that we have.  Coming back to the battle fresh, the players rather rapidly finished him off,…

    On Friday, the site software notified me of an upgrade to WordPress, moving to 4.9.6, which as usual I installed.  As expected, the install was quick and painless, rarely ever any issues.  However, with the new update, there is now a new focus on Privacy Policies, no doubt a result of all of the recent…
