  • Pathfinder: Age of Ashes, Chapter 1, Episode 1

    Our first session is now available, for good or bad. Although this is far from a professional video, I am decently happy with how it turned out. Of course, most of the credit goes to the group for providing the details of the story. https://youtu.be/M5Zfggo_aik After reviewing the video several times, I continue to have…

  • Pathfinder – Pokey Darkstrike Jr, Dwarf Fighter

    The second of our merry band is a rebuild of the season 2 character, though now a descendant. Pokey Darkstrike is a Dwarf Fighter, played by my son, who has only recently started playing roleplaying games with us. As a player, he is eager and learning quickly, though of course has challenges occasionally when the…

  • Pathfinder – Norm, Goblin Rogue

    As we start to roll out our 3rd campaign, I am going to try to capture a bit of the characters as time permits. First up is Norm, the goblin rogue of the group, and a long time local of the town of Breachill. Norm is focused on Thievery, utilizing his enhanced dexterity to alternately…

  • Super Star Destroyer

    I have waited a long time, but I finally managed to get my copy of the Star Wars: Armada scale Super Star Destroyer. A limited edition model, it completely dwarfs anything else on the board.

  • Star Wars: X-Wing

  • Episode 1 in the can

    Not that I am using old-fashioned film, but I am happy to say that our first episode of the Age of Ashes is now edited, processed and otherwise finished. I have the file posted to YouTube, and scheduled to go live on Friday, 8/23 at 5 PM EST. In general, I think that is going…

  • Age of Ashes – The Cast

    Characters are created, and the adventure has begun. The overall mix of options has been interesting – my initial concern was a bit of repetition the character process, but all characters are unique and different. Additional adventures may have challenges, but for now, there are more than enough choices. I will provide more detail, once…

  • Ages of Ashes has begun

    Our first session of Age of Ashes for Pathfinder second edition started on Sunday, and was a mixed success. The game itself was good – everyone seems to have adapted to the new rules and mechanics fairly well, and the story thus far has everyone engaged. The challenge was mainly with my juggling of the…
