Star Wars: Legion
With Labor Day in the United States this last weekend, I finally had a chance to sit down with my younger son and play Star Wars: Legion. This is a game we picked up several months ago, and my son was very eager to do (he is all about the foot soldier games). He selected…

Pathfinder, conclusion of Chapter 5
Success over the weekend, with the conclusion of Chapter 5 of the Rise of the Runelords. The group, rather focused this week, managed to wrap up the Halls of Wrath section of Runeforge, and escape back to Golarion. In the process, they rather easily defeated the guardians, and it was only when the Barbarian opted…

Revisiting the Trophy
Several months ago, I posted about my project to craft and create a trophy for our annual Magic the Gathering tournament. I managed to revisit this project this week, while I was spending time for work in Toledo. Didn’t end up having as much time as I had hoped (we had a big outage to…

The closest comparison we have is Armada, which although Star Wars, plays much differently. The main advantage we found is that the game runs much faster, turn…

Star Wars: Legion terrain
Spent a couple days working on terrain for Star Wars: Legion, specifically an Imperial Bunker by Upsidedown98. Print was lengthy (about 36 hours), but not unreasonable for the bulk, and my printer has become rather finely tuned now, so the quality is pretty decent. The piece is in two parts, the base plus a removable…

Campaign Options
In preparation for our next major campaign, I am strongly considering using the 2nd Edition Pathfinder rules. The setting obviously is familiar to the group, and the ruleset is similar enough to make things understandable. And since they have a full campaign of experience now, it would not be too challenging for the group to…
