  • Assault on Xin-Shalast, Part 2

    We continued the Pathfinder campaign conclusion, with the second part of the assault on Karzoug’s citadel.  The group managed to finish off their first encounter with a full power Rune Giant, and then broke into the throne room, where they faced one of Karzoug’s generals.  However, the battle was relatively quick, thanks to a well…

  • Upcoming Pathfinder

    We continue the conclusion of the Pathfinder campaign this weekend, in one of the few remaining sessions.  At the end of the last one, the group had encountered their first Rune Giant, and interacted with an image of Karzoug – now fully aware of the groups activities and location.  We will see how long the…

  • Asteroids of the Frey System

    Continuing my efforts with Elite: Dangerous (it has been distracting me a lot recently), here is a view from the rings of Frey 4, in the Frey system.  This particular location is a resource extraction site, popular with pirates (and thus good for combat), but it is also rather peaceful when you just stop and…

  • Rise of the Runelords update

    The group has engaged the enemy, by bringing the fight directly to Karzoug, in his citadel high a top Mhar Massif.  This is the final challenge of the campaign – penetrate the tower, and bring an end to the threat of Karzoug and the Runelords.  The group seems rather eager, and well prepared – they…

  • Elite: Dangerous

    Making a return to a game that I have played off and on, with a bit of renewed interest.  Fortunately, Elite is a bit older now, and my graphics card, though dated, can run the game very well on Ultra.  Teamed up with my son, and potentially soon my other son, we are exploring the…

  • Zombicide

    This last Sunday, we managed to play some more Zombicide: Black Plague, and wrapped up missions 6 and most of 7.  Mission 6 was won in the first attempt, despite our lack of game time recently, everyone was working well together and the zombies could not catch up – though it did get a bit…

  • 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…
