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 them after that, so that the rocks look more like space rocks (which feels redundant). But I have the lava rock and the bases, now I just have to find a practical solution for the pegs. Will add pictures once I get the final set…

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 second chapter, but for the first several game sessions it had a lot of activity (this was due to mechanics problems with ship to ship combat, the group was loving the campaign itself). At the time, since most of the campaign was to take place…

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 group or company that briefly provided 3d versions of the scenery, but as I understand it, due to copyright issues, they were forced to stop producing. I have also checked for 3d printing options, which may be workable, but will take a bit of time…

Our group continued the fight against the Scribbler, the chief bad guy of the first part of Chapter 5, who turned out not to be much of a threat – at least not against the overly large player group that we have. Coming back to the battle fresh, the players rather rapidly finished him off, despite an effort to summon demons for assistance (which were also destroyed easily). The various layered abilities of the group, combined with some creativity from the players, and their strength becomes rather overwhelming.

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. However, with the new update, there is now a new focus on Privacy Policies, no doubt a result of all of the recent events in the news regarding privacy and information gathering. Although this site is entirely informational, and relatively low volume, I do collect some data for the basic operation of the site, and to screen spam and similar activity. As such (and being in a computer…

As I mentioned before, for our Rise of the Runelords Pathfinder game, we are reaching a point in the campaign where the relative “sin” or “virtue” level of each character is becoming relevant. Basically, for the prior game, as they have shown one tendency or another, they have earned a bonus or penalty during the upcoming sessions, based on their further adventures into Runeforge. For example, a character who has been Greedy would experience a bonus in areas associated with Karzoug, the Runelord of Greed, while those who have shown Generosity would experience a penalty.

It seems my experiment with Etsy isn’t working out as well as I had hoped – fundamentally I have not sold pretty much anything as of yet. Perhaps my price point is too high, there is very little interest, I just don’t know what I am doing, or likely, there just isn’t much trust in a new vendor and unreviewed product. The good news is that I have 15 of the squadron plates ready to ship out at a moments notice. The bad news is I have 15 of the squadron plates sitting without an order to be fulfilled. However,…

This Sunday is our next session of Pathfinder, with the group continuing and hopefully finishing the battle in the sinkhole beneath Sandpoint. From there, the adventure continues as the group moves forward with their quest to locate Runeforge. Perhaps the strange riddle they have discovered within the tunnels will point them in a direction, and give some clues.
