  • MtG Tournament 2019

    Starting the preparations for the annual Magic: The Gathering Tournament we hold everything Thanksgiving. As before, I am 3d-printing the trophy, the model for which gave me some challenges this year. Previously, I had broken the model into 4 pieces, which I then assembled into a solid piece at the end. This year, due to…

  • Zombicide – Quest 9 completed

    As planned, we tackled Quest 9 (“The Hellhole”) of Zombicide: Black Plague over the weekend. And as before, we started off rough, and then restarted – in this case, the group opened the first door directly into an Abomination. Without any gear or dragon bile, we all agreed to reset and restart. The second attempt…

  • Quest 9 – The Hellhole

    Planning another round of Zombicide: Black Plague this Sunday, with an attempt at Quest 9 (The Hellhole) with the group. This is another hard mission (second to the last), with a mechanics twist that should prove a bit challenging. Most of the board is relatively straight forward, but there is a timer and timing mechanism…

  • Zombicide on YouTube

    As promised (threatened), I have uploaded the latest Zombicide: Black Plague play thru to YouTube. Two hours of excitement and enjoyment of the group against the oncoming Zombie hordes. No doubt we made a few rules errors in the game, but it was all fun, so no big deal to us. If you spot any…

  • Video experimentation

    With our Zombicide game, I have jumped back into video documentation, with a bit of experimenting in preparation for our future Pathfinder game. Utilizing my bare bones gear (a camcorder, cell phone, and audio recorder), I managed to actually record some decent footage and a couple of angles. Audio ended up better than I expected,…

  • Zombicide: Black Plague

    Managed to fit in another game of Zombicide: Black Plague, as we ever so slowly work our way thru the starter set missions. This time it was Quest 8 – The Evil Temple, and our first “Hard” mission. The first attempt went badly, the group split up and then encountered nothing but misses on their…

  • Magic: The Gathering 2019 Tournament

    Starting preparations for our annual Thanksgiving Magic: The Gathering tournament, which admittedly isn’t until late November. However, there is a bit of preparation I need to do, not the least of which is prepare, build, and paint the trophy for this year. I expect I will use the same model, obviously updating the year, but…

  • Pause in Kingmaker

    Had a scheduling challenge this last weekend, so we ended up not playing our Kingmaker campaign. Several players were unavailable due to prior plans, and illness struck in our area. I also had an issue with pain in my feet, which made it very difficult to walk. As a result, we delayed game 2 of…
