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…

Received a large collection of old photos, rescued from when my grandmother passed away. Most of these are relatively ancient family photos, some of which I was involved in, and some of which I was not. But all bring back a lot of memories. Will be posting most of them over the following weeks and months, as a means of cataloging them long term. First up is a picture, I believe from 1975, of my Mom, my brother, and myself. No clue about the situation or location, this was back when I was only 3 years old.

Skipping the travel this week, and staying home, thanks to the red tape involved in travel arrangements through work. Admittedly this works well, it gives me a chance to get to my older son’s Boy Scouts Court of Honor this week, and we have preparations to wrap up for the Cub Scouts Pinewood Derby this coming Saturday (still need to get to making the younger son’s derby car). Going to be a lengthy week, with lots of miscellaneous items, and unfortunately not much time for gaming. Weather has become warmer, which means all the snow has turned to mud, with…

As previously mentioned, we changed our calendar in favor of a Boy Scout snow park trip, instead of the usually scheduled GURPs Warhammer game. Although not everyone ended being able to attend, those that did had a fun time. Weather was overcast and threatening rain, but it never arrived, and the day stayed a comfortable 50 degrees. I was concerned about how much snow and ice the location would have, but apparently their snow making machines had been working overtime, and it was not much of an issue. Although my youngest tried to learn to snowboard (and did remarkable well),…
