Legion Results – CIS victory
As planned, we played our latest round of Star Wars Legion. Not as planned, it turned out to be an overwhelming CIS victory, with the Galactic Republic surrendering midway thru turn 2. I don’t necessarily agree with the “lost cause” nature of the fight at that point, but it was certainly heavily slanted, and highly…

Return to regular gaming
With October over, it brings with it a change in the seasons, and an end to sports activities with the kids – both Football and Marching Band are now completed. It also brings a more open schedule, allowing for more gaming, meaning a return to our regularly scheduled games. In particular, we have our ongoing…

Following our gaming sessions this weekend, I now had time to validate that they actually fit (they do), and accomplish the original goal. Most importantly, that the various pieces slot together…

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. We have the table itself, which itself is rather massive, but still a bit cramped for the players. The first step was to create a virtual table…

New World challenges

by
So the new MMO launched yesterday, and have been more than a little bit distracted as a result. Although the game itself runs well, and is very popular (they hit 700k concurrent users), the launch of course had its issues. The major concern for a lot of players was initially just the naming of characters.…
