  • YouTube milestone

    Within the last couple of days, we have hit yet another milestone, and reached 600 subscribers on our Tabletop channel. For YouTube, this is a small audience, but for our little hobby project, this is massive. My thanks and appreciation to everyone who has subscribed, and especially to our regulars who comment and provide feedback.…

  • Fall Schedule

    You may have noticed a drop off in content recently, which seems to be an annual occurrence. Each fall, around October and November, life becomes rather busy with sports, band, and other family activities, and our ability to schedule gaming sessions drops off. I have also taken on some new roles with work, which are…

  • Horizon

    With the conclusion of our Extinction Curse campaign, we are preparing for the start of our replacement storyline. Originally, the plan was to attempt a Superhero storyline, using the Hero System RPG. That was dropped relatively recently, in favor of a more group-favored Science Fiction campaign. Thus, the Horizon campaign was spawned. The basic concept…

  • Extinction Curse Completed

    In my long gaming hobby, spanning 40+ years, I have very rarely finished a campaign. Certainly campaigns have ended, but almost all either die off due to lost motivation, changing interests, schedule conflicts, etc, or just fade away over time. After this weekend, I can say I have fully completed 2 full campaigns, start to…

  • The Barbarian of Vessille

    In our ongoing Warhammer FRP gaming group (full session videos on YouTube), the party is currently attending the annual Carnival celebration in Middenheim. Part of the Enemy Within campaign material is a great amount of events and details around the calendar of events for the 10 day festival, along with the notable NPCs that are…

  • Extinction Curse Conclusion (almost)

    This last Sunday was scheduled to be our final episode of the Extinction Curse campaign, with the final big climax battle against the Xulgaths. The game happened (video coming Friday), but the battle ran longer than expected. Thus far, we are 9 rounds in, and the big bad evil guy is still fighting strong. This…

  • Token Organizer

    In our recent Star Wars Legion games, it has become obvious that token tracking is challenging. The game operates with a collection of tokens, which are intended to be placed on the board near the respective unit, in order to track various affects and modifiers. This works well and is easy to track. However, when…

  • Dagobah

    As we expand our Star Wars Legion games, and look into a few other game systems, I got inspired to create a swamp terrain board. This was heavily inspired by Black Magic Craft on YouTube, in which a similar technique is used to make roads. In my case, I reversed the negative space, and instead…
