Seems the timer for my Amazon associates account is winding down. This is an option provided by Amazon, which trades advertising (in the form of associate links) for a small amount of revenue. Basically, if you follow a link from this site, and purchase an item from Amazon, I get a fraction of a penny. There is no cost to you – this is paid for thru Amazon themselves. However, it does require a “qualification” test – basically a trial period where Amazon judges if your site generates enough traffic to meet a minimum requirement (3 sales in 120 days).…

With the upcoming conclusion of our Pathfinder game, it is time to consider our next campaign. I have plenty of material for more Pathfinder, that has never been in short supply, but the big driving factor is the upcoming 2nd edition release in August. Due to this, we don’t really want to start another long term campaign (and either cancel or convert later). However, we are also challenged with the size of the group – many game systems simply don’t lend themselves to being taught to 10 players at a given time, or are overly simplistic (leading to my boredom).

Living in Ohio, we don’t get much time at the beach, which is part of the attraction of the Atlas game we have been playing. Since every land is an island, there is lots of ocean and beach time. So much so, with the graphics, I can almost smell the salt-water at times. In particular, the sunsets are rather well done, especially when the storms have died down, and the clouds are scattered. The transition to night, although faster than real life, is slow enough to show the color changes and reflections on the water.

For the last several weeks, the 3d printer has sat idle and quiet, waiting for the next projects. Some of the reason was that I was a bit overloaded with the rush to finish the Pathfinder boxes (which was nearly so urgent since the game was delayed), but since then, it was just being overly challenging again. As anyone with a 3d printer can attest – printing reliably and consistently is a challenge. I have learned a lot in the last year of efforts and attempts, and I continue to learn. My lesson these week was temperature. I had switched…

After many delays, we finally had what we believed to be the final battle with Karzoug. However, with our very large group of 10 players, and the complexity of the game at level 18, it simply did not go fast enough to wrap up in a single session. This was despite adding 2 hours to our normal play time.

For the first time ever for myself, we will be heading to Gencon to attend more than just a single day. Scheduling did not permit for the full 4 day event as originally planned, but we did manage to squeeze in plans for 2-days of convention fun. And the plans involved most of the current gaming group, all able to enjoy the time at the convention. At this point, we don’t know what events we will try to participate in (or how that process works), but we have badges and hotel rooms already, so are otherwise set. Worse case, we…

Next set of the growing Imperial ground forces for Legion, with a squad of scout troopers (plus upgrades). If they manage to get painted, they will of course use the traditional white on black, though I know in the extended source material, they have branched out into actual camouflaged colors. Continuing to find it challenging to schedule time to actually play, but the bigger concern is that the Rebels are starting to suffer from a lack of options now – compared to the Empire. Might need to start focusing on the other side, if only to balance the scales. Star…

Continuing my X-Wing collection, with another edition into the Scum faction. This one is the Fang Fighter, serving a role similar to the X-wing or basic TIE fighters, as a general combat addition. Not sure where this ship appears in the movies, books or other material, but that in itself doesn’t matter to me much. In our particular play style, we allow Scum faction to be used by either Rebel or Imperial, primarily to allow the Falcon or Slave I to be used. Technically, this would fit as well, but there are enough ships options to not really make that…
