  • Thanksgiving

    Happy Thanksgiving to those who celebrate. Spending time with family and friends today, so not giving much thought to gaming and hobbies, at least until the turkey is complete.

  • Video processing

    It was painful, due to several processing problems, but the latest session of the Age of Ashes campaign is finally finished and now waiting for Friday.
