  • Gencon 2019

    Gencon 2019 convention is starting tomorrow, and for the first time, my son and I are attending the entire 4 day event. In previous years, we have gone on the Sunday Family Day, but last year there was simply no way to see and experience everything. With some planning since December, we decided to do…

  • Mining Guild Reinforcements

    To go with the B-Wing yesterday, we also managed to add some reinforcements to the Scum, with the Mining Guild TIE fighter. This was a request from my son, who has taken a liking to the current Scum options, but wanted a decent filler ship compared to the much large Falcon and Slave I. I…

  • Send in the bombers

    Expanding our X-Wing collection with the latest wave, and adding the Rebel B-Wing. This has always been one of my favorite designs, even if the basic concept itself is rather unrealistic. With the new edition, Fantasy Flight has added quite a bit to the model, with a rotating mount point to the stand, folding wings,…

  • Test video completed

    Finished and posted the test video, now looking for feedback. As stated yesterday, the video quality is what it is, and the audio is still a challenge, so I cant do much about those. If the editing, camera placement, sound effects, or music are off, that is something I can fix, or at least try…

  • Video testing

This should be almost a final test, before we start our Age of Ashes campaign next month. I managed to pull together some logos and intros, along with some music I am happy with, and now have a reliable…

  • Pathfinder – Kingmaker

    As we approach the Gencon convention, we are wrapping up our second season of our ongoing Pathfinder campaign with the Kingmaker adventure path. Chapter 1 has not progressed as quickly as I had hoped, so with only one game remaining, we are going to skip ahead a bit to the finale for our last session…

  • Star Wars: Legion

    Small resurgence of Star Wars recently, first with X-Wing, and now with the opportunity to play some Legion. The terrain was rather limited (not sure where my hills and trees are, or if I still have them), but the game mat and the 3d-printed Turbolaser tower worked well, along with the game’s included barricades. As…

  • Star Wars: X-Wing

    It has been a long time, but we finally had an opportunity to jump back into the cockpit and play some more X-Wing second edition this last Sunday. Joining us for the game where my sons, George and Ben, and their friends Carter and Craig. With five players, I quickly whipped up some multiplayer rules…
