  • 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…

  • 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…

  • Pathfinder Update – into Xin-Shalast

    Although we had a shorter than normal session today (thanks to the combo of a dead car battery delaying the start, and a work related “emergency” causing an early end), the group managed to make their first foray into the lost city of Xin-Shalast.  Surprisingly, they opted for a stealth attempt, and between a combination…

  • Shadowrun challenges

    Continuing our efforts to kick off and push thru the challenges of online gaming, with our Shadowrun RPG campaign.  We are still using Roll20 – the software works well for maps and dice rolling, but we continue to be challenged with the audio and video.  At this stage, for our latest game we swapped back…
