Not planning on a Wednesday Warfare game this week, due to a conflict with our Eagle project efforts. We finally have funding and supplies, and the project has now been tackling the tasks item by item. Over the weekend, we chopped up the panels into the various parts, the next step is for the volunteers…

Twitch printing

by
Entirely new side project, I am working on a way to auto-stream 3d printing progress via Twitch. Not that there is a big audience to watch a printer run for 24 hours, but there might be some curiousity. Really, it is just an exercise to see if I can do it – I already have…

3d printer = problem solved
As part of my design for the gaming table, I have several cutouts in the surface to accommodate cables and wires for the electronics.

Gaming table, phase 2
Finally starting on the next stage of the grand gaming table. As published previously, my intent has been to create a large gaming surface, for our oversize group.

Props – the golden scarab
The final book of our Carrion Crown prop collection is a bit of a mystery to the group. It is presented as a locked tome, bound in leather, and in good condition – unlike most of the rest of the items. On the cover, is a single golden scarab, but no other notes or indicators.…
