  • 3d printer repairs

    Been running into a number of problems with the 3d printer recently, while I have been trying to create new terrain pieces for our gaming. The most notable concern has been a layer shift – at mostly random heights, the print seems to shift in the Y-axis, sometime plus, and sometime negative. It isn’t consistent…

  • Finished editing

    As expected, with the short session this last game, the editing ran remarkably fast – I was able to upload the video last night, and queue it up for publishing next week on schedule. Total length came in at about 50 minutes, which was longer than I expected, but the amount of recorded footage was…

  • Camera #3

    As part of my recording kit, I have been looking for a low cost, used camcorder, to match my current pair. Specifically, this would be a Canon Vixia HF R800. I have been watching Amazon for a sale, but mainly reviewing Facebook Marketplace for inexpensive options. Yesterday I managed to locate one, for a good…

  • Abbreviated Session

    Unfortunately, our Age of Ashes campaign session this week was a bit shortened after an emergency call from my day-job. We managed to only get about 2 hours into the game, when I had to cancel the session entirely. The good news is that editing will be correspondingly faster this week, the bad news is…

  • Age of Ashes, Episode 4

This one was a rather fun session, the group was rather invested by the time they fought the graulodons, and there was a lot of challenging actions. Continuing to improve the video itself – the audio is a little…

  • Comments

    On the website, I am trying to encourage more comments and discussion, so for at least a time, I am going to disable the requirement to list an email address and name. Comments still have to be approved (to avoid spammers), and the auto-blocking tools are still in place (again, for spamming), but perhaps this…

  • Adventure Scents

    During the recent Gencon convention, I obtained a sampling of Adventure Scents, from Oddfish Games. These attempt to replicate the smells of various environments frequently encountered during an adventuring session, such as a Moldy Crypt, or a Smoky Campfire. The idea is to add another element to put the group into the mood of the…

  • Painting the True Tiles

    I didn’t end up taking any new pictures, so here is an old picture. Last Friday, I finally got motivated enough to paint up the rest of my True-Tiles collection, to match with the prior pieces. It was a nagging project, one which was front and center with our new campaign and the videos that…
