Asteroids

Continuing my efforts at 3d Armada terrain, I printed out a set of stands for the game, that match the existing published cardboard pieces. In these cases, I can mount a peg (possibly plastic, likely a thin wooden dowel), and then the plan is a set of lava rock stones. May or may not paint…

Space Stations

I have been working on trying to enhance the materials for Star Wars: Armada, and have been focused recently on the scenery pieces – the space station and asteroid markers. With the game, these are simple cardboard pieces, which work, but are not as nice as the full 3d ships and squadrons. There was a…

Zombicide Questing

This weekend was our latest session of Zombicide: Black Plague, in our continuing effort to complete the initial missions from the book. In this case, we attempted Quest 4 – Famine, and Quest 5 – The Commandry. Famine is one we had tried previously, but simply ran out of time. We attempted it again, but…

Our player group, although very large at 10 players, was missing half of the group do to scheduling challenges. Admittedly this would have brought the group down to a “reasonable” size – a 5 player group is…

Star Wars Armada ship tray
Branching out my 3d Printing efforts into accessories for other games, and have settled on a design for an organization tray for Star Wars Armada ships. Basic design, you have the ship card, plus a number of tokens and dials, which of course tend to move around and get confused. This design hopefully will allow…

GURPs Warhammer update
So we tried again this weekend, and again had to end up cancelling the plan game due to scheduling difficulties. The good news is that the system is very workable, and seems very solid for the intended storyline. Unfortunately, real life is just too much of a plan changer to reliably maintain the game. As…
