Rise of the Runelords update
We had our latest session of Pathfinder this weekend, with the group finally entering the pocket dimension of Runeforge, with recently upgraded level 14 characters. Their biggest challenge is adjusting to the changes in reality in the new location (some spells don’t work, or work differently), and my biggest challenge was actually filtering and editing…

MtG Tournament Trophy
Last year, as part of our local tabletop group, we held our first Magic: The Gathering Tournament – a small affair of local players and friends. It was rather informal, and admittedly almost no one even knew how to play, but we had a good turn out with about 16 players. Everyone had a great…

Imperials were flying several TIE fighter squadrons and Dengar, and the Rebels had a pair of X-Wings and Rogue Squadron. The plates worked well, and kept things organized during the rather complex game. Admittedly the…

The asteroids turned out pretty decent, a bit of hot glue attaching them to the support poles worked fairly well. For the nebulas, I used a cotton ball stretched (and glued) between two support poles. The space station…

Pathfinder Wishes
A few sessions ago, in our bi-weekly Pathfinder campaign, the group happened to discover an artifact by the name of the Anathema Archive. A powerful source of magic, this ancient scroll contains the total Arcane knowledge of the setting. By concentrating and opening the scroll, any Arcane spell can be revealed and cast by the…

Have 3d Printer, will print
Continuing my builds of Star Wars: Armada scenery, I am trying out an option to 3d print more pieces. Previously, I had a solution for the various cardboard templates (asteroids, gas clouds, space stations, and debris), and I have model solutions for each piece. What I was missing with the support rod for each, to…
