  • Magic the Gathering results

    We had a fun tournament, with quite a few players for our annual tournament.  Ended up with fewer players than last year, apparently several felt pre-cooking for Thanksgiving was a higher priority, and some of last years players were out of town.  But those that did show up had a lot of fun, and we…

  • Pathfinder – Rise of the Runelords update

    We had our Pathfinder session this last weekend, and after nearly 3 years, the group has finally arrived at the pinnacle of Mhar Massif, to face off against the elite agents of the enemy, and face the Runelord Karzoug himself.  This starts the endgame of the campaign, which optimistically I am expecting to finish off…

  • Magic: The Gathering, Tournament Trophy

    Wrapped up and finished the first place trophy for our upcoming tournament, by adding the final details.  Likely will still add a coating of sealant, just to help protect it a bit, but it is otherwise complete.  Overall, I am happy with the results, and the design works well.  I may adjust it a bit…

  • 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…
