Finally had a chance to start our long-awaited GURPs campaign, though we unfortunately did not get as far as hoped. After our prior session, there was some desire to modify characters, and we added 2 additional players who had to start from the beginning. As a result, we did not actually begin the real story until late into the session, and then we unexpectedly had a conflict with our location, and had to cut the session short.

Continuing to expand my Star Wars Armada collection, although admittedly I have not played in a while. The most recent release wave brings the Rebel capital ship, Profundity, a large ship which seems more than capable of going toe to toe with the Imperial Star Destroyers. I am not very familiar with the ship design from any of the setting material – it isn’t one that I am aware of in the movies, so I expect it likely was in Star Wars Rebels, or in the novels. Either way, it looks to be a strong anchor for a Rebel force.…

This weekend we should finally be able to start our long-awaited GURPs Warhammer campaign, assuming we don’t spend most of the time tweaking and modifying characters. Our player group is expanding a little bit up to the limit of 6 players, thanks to some extended family of the players. Apparently they were talking about the upcoming game, and their friends expressed an interest to get involved. I am rarely one to turn down players of any sort, especially eager ones, and so our group grows again. For this campaign, I am not planning on filming or recording the sessions –…

So I finished the latest set of zombie runners last night, as I continue to work my way thru the Zombicide: Black Plague set. Which is good, since over Christmas, I added the Wulfsburg expansion, so I have many Zombie dogs nipping at my heels to be painted as well. From here, the next big set is the Zombie Fattys, and then I have another group or two of basic walkers. Unfortunately, with the weather the way it has been recently, I am not sure when I will be able to prime any of these, which may delay my further…

Working on more painting for the Zombicide: Black Plague set, this time with another set of 7 zombie runners. My snapshots are admittedly rather terrible, I am not sure if it was the camera or the photographer (likely the later), but hopefully you get the basic idea. I started with a primer coat of zombie green, on top of which I added dark brown pants, green shirts, and a dark hood. For some reason, these zombies only have a single shoe, which was done in a pale yellow. On top of this will be a wash coat, likely a dark…

A few days ago, I added a new module to the website, which provides for Google Auto-Captcha connections. If you are not familiar with Captcha, it is the small graphic picture or puzzle you have to answer when you connect to some sites. In this case, the routine makes an attempt to decide if a user is a real person or an automated bot. If you are human, no extra steps. If you are a bot, then you are rejected. If it is unsure, then you get the puzzle. The older alternative was a puzzle for everyone, or more simply…

We have our next session of Pathfinder scheduled for this Sunday, as the group continues their exploration and assault on the Stone Giant city. In the last session, they did battle with a pair of lamia matriarchs, who had charmed and dominated a pair of red dragons. Although they initially managed to convince the dragons to let them pass in safety (the bard is rather convincing), the lamia’s forced them to attack the group, who then had to fight for their lives against both strong groups. Fortunately, with the death of the lamia’s the charm was broken, which freed the…

I don’t remember this event, I was only 3 in 1976, but this is an old family picture gathering most of the extended family. My dad I assume is the photographer, with (from the left), my Mom’s parents Ethel and Truman (with me in the middle), my mom, my uncle Roelof with my brother, and then my dad’s parents with Martha and Tjalling. This was taken in Spokane, Washington, I assume at Ethel and Truman’s house. The piece that sticks out to me is the Lazy Susan turn-table in the middle of the table – that is a piece that…
