  • Snow park beats GURPs

    As previously mentioned, we changed our calendar in favor of a Boy Scout snow park trip, instead of the usually scheduled GURPs Warhammer game.  Although not everyone ended being able to attend, those that did had a fun time.  Weather was overcast and threatening rain, but it never arrived, and the day stayed a comfortable…

  • Funding is now non-funded

    Back when I started this site, and mainly when I started editing and posting videos (and then podcasts), I had never really expected this hobby to turn a profit or really make much money at all.  And over the years, my total earnings have come up to approximately $1 – not even enough for a…

  • Video editing revisited

    It has been some time since I worked on any of the videos and podcasts of our gaming sessions, so I decided to jump back in.  Unfortunately, I have built up quite a backlog of material in various formats, so it is a rather intimidating hill to climb.  In order to eliminate what I hope…

  • GURPs Warhammer – character sheets

    As an update to the GURPs Warhammer campaign – I am posting a copy of the custom character sheet I created for the game.  In truth, any GURPs character sheet or tool will work, but this one filters the skills, advantages, and disadvantages down to the list used for the group.  Consider it a rough…

  • Stable end to a long week

    Its the end of a long week, and we have a big snow storm supposedly coming in this evening.  Initially, the prediction was for 8+ inches of snow on top of a layer of ice – that has since been reduced to only a few inches.  Of course that doesn’t stop the locals from panic,…

  • Heading home

    Heading home again today from Toledo, following yet another work trip.  Always nice to get home, though admittedly there are times when it is good to be able to focus on work.  In this case, it will be nice to get home before the “big” snow storm supposedly comes thru and hits, the current prediction…

  • End of Nextcloud

    As commented yesterday, I have been undergoing another shift in my home server and the capabilities, to try to improve the overall performance and reliability.  As part of this, I ended up trying to rebuild the Nextcloud personal cloud server, so that it would be more efficient.  Previously, it was sharing a 300 GB VM…
