  • True-Tiles practical application

    With a painted and otherwise complete set of True-Tiles in hand, we had our next session of Pathfinder on Sunday, reaching the climax of Chapter 4 of the Rise of the Runelords.  Unfortunately, I discovered I had not actually printed a large enough set, I still had several more to do before having enough to…

  • Update on gaming schedule

    Running a bit late today, thanks to an overly busy schedule with work.  Falling behind with the video sessions for the gaming, thanks to my distractions with 3d printing, but managing to successfully print a lot of material.  In particular, I should have enough True-Tiles for the upcoming Pathfinder session on Sunday, which should go…

  • True-Tiles, second batch

    In preparation for the second wave of my True-Tiles printing, I have been batch printing a lot of bases, while I wait for the little round magnets to arrive today.  I believe I will need more square bases to fully re-finish the prior tiles, but I will be doing those once I have fully tested…

  • True-Tiles – painting strategy

    I continue to produce the True-Tiles terrain, and although I have changed directions on the base pieces, the top pieces are just fine.  However, after my first batch, I realized that using Army Painter paints for the painting of this amount was not very cost effective – I nearly emptied my Dark Wash bottle, and…

  • True-Tiles Batch 1 painting

    Managed to take time to paint up the first set of True-Tiles, consisting of 10 doors, 4 flat tiles, 5 single wall tiles and 5 corner tiles.  Total time, about 4 hours.

  • True-Tiles – first batch

    Finished printing a first batch of True-Tiles from the demo set, and my project this week is to paint and drybrush them this week, so they are ready for our next Pathfinder game.  Set includes 5 corners, 5 single-wall sections, 4 field tiles, and 10 doors, which gives a decent start.  From here, I need…

  • Maneuver Sticks

    I haven’t played any games in a while, but I continue to collect and try to play Star Wars Armada.  When we last played, one of the maneuver sticks used for the game was a bit damaged – one of the gear “clicks” became a bit soft, making it hard to lock it into place. …
