  • No good to me dead

    With the recent Father’s Day, my kids and family helped me expand the slowly growing Star Wars: Legion collection with a few of the heroes and villains. The first one is Boba Fett, feared bounty hunter, and addon for the Empire’s side. The model is nice, though perhaps a bit finicky – there are a…

  • A Whole New World (again)

    Over this last weekend, there was a bit of a world-shattering event on the Atlas game server we play on – due to a previously unknown bug, all player data was corrupted and lost. Despite a long weekend of troubleshooting with Grapeshot and G-Portal, the admins who ran the server set were forced to give…

  • Season 3 preparations

    In preparation for Season 3 of our Pathfinder campaigns, scheduled to start early in August with the release of the Second edition Pathfinder rules and the Age of Ashes adventure path, I have been working to re-evaluate and redesign my podcast capabilities.

As before, I am 3d-printing the trophy, the model for which gave me some challenges this year. Previously, I had broken the model into 4 pieces, which I then assembled into a solid piece at the end. This year, due to…

We first concluded the battle against the bandit camp – unfortunately the Sorcerer was lost when the group was unable to stop his slaying after the group as a whole decided against surrendering. However, that provided…

  • Red Dragon update

    Finished the printing of the pieces for the ancient red dragon, and did a bit of quick assembly. The pieces are still rough, and could use at least a coat of a primer, if not a full painting, but overall I am rather happy with the results. I included a Valeros figure for reference. The…

  • Dragons

    In preparation for the upcoming Age of Ashes Pathfinder campaign, I decided I could use my 3d printer to create some of the big bads of the story. Of course, I don’t have any of the details yet, but I know the adventure includes several dragons, and at least one major red dragon. So I…

  • Pathfinder: Kingmaker

    Continuing our current Kingmaker campaign, the group set out from Oleg’s again, after managing to have several of the group cleansed of their recent lycanthropy curses. Unfortunately, those cures cost most of the remaining resources, so the group was looking for a big win to bring in some needed resources.
