  • Gencon 2020

    Its that time again, and registration for the 2020 Gencon Convention in Indianapolis is coming up. Badge sales open January 26, and our gaming group (Huber Tabletop) is planning on attending for our second year. Not sure yet of our total numbers, but I do know of at least 5 going thus far. Fortunately we…

  • Craters and Pools

    Traveling again thanks to my day job, visiting the Toledo area (as usual). This definitely causes an impact on my hobby activities – video editing is reduced to my laptop’s capabilities, and 3d printing is a bit more problematic (though still possible thanks to Octoprint). Currently working on some more terrain in preparation for our…

  • X-Wing reinforcements

    With the holidays, I managed to expand my X-Wing collection by a little bit. Admittedly there are a lot more ships currently available, but I am trying to limit myself to only old-school settings – I have limited interest in either the Prequel or Sequel forces. Specifically, I am only collecting Empire, Rebellion, and Scum…

  • Magic results

    Congratulations to my son George, who managed to score a 3rd victory in our annual Magic: The Gathering tournament. Competition this year was much more challenging – the final placing came down to a close match between three players. There were some surprises too – several of our veteran players were knocked out early to…

  • Its Magic

    While I continue to struggle with trying to render and publish the latest Age of Ashes session, its time for me to get working on the trophy for our upcoming Magic: The Gathering tournament. This Saturday, from 2 PM to 5 PM, we will be hosting our 3rd annual Thanksgiving Tournament, though the date this…

  • 2019 MtG Tournament

    Finalized the schedule for our upcoming 3rd annual Magic the Gathering tournament, now planned for November 30, from 2 PM to 6 PM. Had a bit of a conflict with a pre-planned Scouting event, so had to switch from our normal Wednesday, but this may work out better. At least this way, travelers may be…

  • Scatter Terrain

    With our ongoing Pathfinder campaign, the group has been exploring an old castle ruin. Unfortunately, I am finding I do not have much in the way of scatter terrain to decorate with – tables, chairs, rubble, and similar items. I have some basic pieces, but with a recent collection, I have added several new designs…

  • Super Star Destroyer

    I have waited a long time, but I finally managed to get my copy of the Star Wars: Armada scale Super Star Destroyer. A limited edition model, it completely dwarfs anything else on the board. Pictured for scale is the prior giant, the Imperial Star Destroyer, and a tiny little X-Wing squadron, and my backdrop…
