  • X-Wing – Rebel victory

    Managed to play a game of X-Wing this past Sunday, and for the first time, managed to actually finish the game without running out of time.  The battle was pretty good, though due to lucky dice rolls it ended up going bad quickly for the Empire.  For our fleets, we are stretching the rules a…

  • Your all clear, kid!

    Continuing my collection of the initial releases of the X-Wing Second edition starships, and added the Millenium Falcon (Lando version).  Initially, I was not excited about the model – the addition of the escape pod in the front just doesn’t seem right and makes the ship look weird.  But after digging a bit, I discovered…

  • Ark: Extinction

    By this point, the new expansion for Ark: Survival Evolved will be released, and hopefully our custom server will be running the new Extinction content.  The wife is rather eager for the new material – she has plans of taming and crafting the new materials in the fresh land to explore.  Personally, I am fairly…

  • Star Wars: X-Wing Organization (revised)

    Continued to tweak and adjust the organization trays I have been working for X-Wing, and I think I have a solution design at this point.  Ended up not being as thin as I had hoped, but everything fits, and more importantly, the upgrade pieces connect well.  Going to test it out a bit in an…

  • Star Wars: X-Wing organization

    My recent game of X-Wing with my son got me inspired to start designing and testing an organization tray, similar to my design for Armada.  Basically, just a way to keep the cards organized with the tokens, since the game has a lot of little pieces.  My goal is to have something simple for each…

  • Star Wars: Legion Terrain – Turbo Laser Tower

    Finished a fairly massive print today of an Imperial Turbo Laser Tower, scaled for Star Wars: Legion.  This was actually my second attempt at the main tower piece – the first one ended up running my spool of filament dry at about 98%.  Total print time was 3 hours and 40 minutes for the top…

  • Shadowrun update

    As previously posted, our attempts at getting a Shadowrun campaign have been overly hit and miss, due to numerous reasons.  Unfortunately, it has been more miss than hit, and for that reason, along with challenges in the general format, we are going to be disbanding the effort.  It may live on in another format (likely…

  • Magic Tournament – Trophy update

    With our upcoming Magic the Gathering Tournament, scheduled for November 21, I need to finalize my plans for the victory trophy.  I posted a picture many weeks ago of the progress with painting – this is a 3d printed model that I am hand-painting.  However, I have been procrastinating since then and only recently worked…
