• So here I am on my latest round of work-related travel, when I discover that my intended video sync-up on my laptop did not take place as planned.  As a result, I am stuck downloading the 22 GB file over hotel wi-fi from my home server.  Not a good start to my attempt to get caught back up on my editing efforts for the Pathfinder game.  Fingers crossed it will be completed by the time this is posted, so I can start the editing, but I honestly am not counting on that.  Unfortunately, I don’t have much alternative time once…

  • Due to some scheduling conflicts, we are not going to be having our regular Pathfinder session this week, so I am going to attempt to fill the gap with a game of Zombicide: Black Plague.  Should be a lot of fun, and still be able to occupy the players who are available.  And incidentally gives me more time to finish editing the last game session, for which I am behind schedule on.

  • My kids recently have taken an interested in online gaming streaming, specifically around our efforts with Ark: Survival Evolved.  After a bit of discussion, they have encouraged me to try my hand at that sort of effort and content again myself.  I had previously made some short-lived efforts which lived on Twitch, but never really got into the mechanics and process – and certainly never gained any sort of following – so it ended up dropped to the side. The newest effort is to reside on YouTube, and continue to showcase our growing Ark environment on our private server.  Nothing…

  • Apparently Epic Loot was missing part of their shipment yesterday, so I was only able to obtain the Hammerhead Corvettes for the Rebels.  Not a big concern, since I normally am playing Rebels 🙂  I am sure the Imperial Carrier will arrive sometime in the future, and I will no doubt be back to pick up a copy of that ship as well. Now to revise the fleet list, to incorporate the new cards and ships.

  • Today is release day for Wave 6 for Star Wars Armada, so heading to the gaming store to grab a set with my son.  Also going to pick up his lottery winnings at the same store, an unknown prize of Magic The Gathering goodies. For us, the local gaming store is Epic Loot in Springfield, Ohio.  Great store and people, and very nice stock of options.  Can’t speak very much about the location – the mall it is in has seen better days, but the store itself is very nice.

  • So I wasn’t nearly as productive as I had hoped over the last few days, between planning on painting figures for Zombicide: Black Plague, and various other goals.  We ended up getting distracted by Ark: Survival, as started to raise dragons (wyverns) on the Ragnarok world, on our private server.  Apparently, I am the only one in our group capable of retrieving said eggs without being killed or losing a flying mount, so I get to be tasked we doing each of the searches.  Meanwhile the rest of the team hides out by the bunker we built, “safe” under the…

  • To any American follows, happy 4th of July!  There won’t be any other content post as such today, since I will be out with family and friends enjoying some food, fun, and fireworks.

  • Managed to finished editing the video for the last game session a day or two before the next scheduled game, and uploaded it on Friday.  Overall, audio and video is still decent, though I am struggling with one of the players who talks very softly.  As a result, I had them move for this last session, to hopefully pick them up a bit better. As to the entertainment level of the video itself, that I am still challenged by.  Certainly the game content is about as entertaining as expected listening and watching another group play a game.  But I continue…
