Missed one
Its a sign that my day job has gotten busy when I start to miss my daily posting, as I did yesterday and almost did on Monday. I have been making a solid effort to post daily, even if it is trivial or minor, and for the most part have done pretty well. But long…

The Wormwood sails again
It has been many years, but my model of The Wormwood finally had another use – as the centerpiece for our Cub Scout pirate-themed Crossover ceremony. This is a paper-craft model I built several years ago, in preparation for the Pathfinder campaign, Skull and Shackles. Unfortunately, the campaign died off after a bit into the…

Privacy
On Friday, the site software notified me of an upgrade to WordPress, moving to 4.9.6, which as usual I installed. As expected, the install was quick and painless, rarely ever any issues.

Organization membership
Dabbling a bit with making our regular gaming group a more formalized organization, and setting up a membership site. Haven’t really looking into subscription formats that much or membership dues, and software to manage and maintain, so its a bit of a learning curve for me. The goal is to set up a system and…

Patreon update
For many months now, I have had an active Patreon account, which I am suspending for the time being. Fundamentally, I like the idea, but I just don’t have enough interest in my content to actually receive any subscribers. And honestly, I don’t generate enough content to actually justify a subscriber. Perhaps in the future,…
