  • 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…

  • Wookies completed

    Other than a coating of protective spray, the wookies are completed, and I am fairly happy with them. The blonde hair turned out better than I had expected, and Chewbacca darkened rather well, compared to his initial rather red look. The one area I am not so happy with is the aged wookie – it…

  • Wookiee Painting

    Been spending time painting the recently acquired squad of wookies, including Chewbacca. It is rather entertaining, trying to come up with unique styles and patterns for each piece, while still maintaining continuity. Not really sold yet on the blonde wookie – I may have chosen a bit too much yellow in the color. Hopefully this…

  • Star Wars Legion – Airspeeder

    Bulking up the Rebel forces a bit further, with the additional of a T-47 Airspeeder (though I know it more as the Snowspeeder from The Empire Strikes Back). I was concerned that the piece would be overly small and out of scale, but it is actually pretty close. Compared to the Wookies, it is of…
