  • Rise of the Runelords – Batman reference

    During this last Sunday’s game, we had a situation come up that ended up dating myself and several of the adults, while the kids looked at us as being crazy.  I had referenced a scene in the old Tim Burton Batman, in which the Joker drops a giant bell down the tower, to stop Batman and the cops from pursuing.  It happened to match nearly exactly the situation in the ongoing story.  For reference for those younger kids, here is that scene:

    Although I tend to lose my momentum anyway, this week is extra hard, as I have managed to catch a (hopefully short) flu bug.  Dealing with body aches and headaches, and minor fevers.  Of course, my real job doesnt really take sick days, so I am traveling for work at the same time.  Between that, and all the late night support calls and meetings, it makes it a very tiring week.  So far, I am managing to keep to my goal of a single post every day, but it will definitely be nice to get home where I can rest,…

    Continuing to struggle with the site configuration a bit.  I recently added a new theme, which has a much cleaner interface, and there will likely be cosmetic changes over the next few weeks.  However, one side challenge I keep facing is the auto-Twitter feed, which is supposed to link a connection each time a new post is published.  For some reason, that is not working, and has not since the initial post.  Might see a few miscellaneous test posts as a result, until I can sort out why it isn’t working.  That being said, if you wish to follow my…

    As may have been noticed near the bottom of this site, I have been managing a set of private unofficial Ark: Survival Evolved servers.  These are intended primarily for personal and family use, but if I know you personally, and you are a player of Ark, you may be welcome to join us.  Originally, the server was (and continues to be) The Island, but recently thanks to a Steam sale on the expansion, we have added a Scorched Earth instance.  At this point, these seems to be our primary focus, surviving the heat and lack of water while being eaten…

    Over Christmas, I acquired the Star Wars Armada game, and have been playing quite a bit with my oldest son.  So far, we are really enjoying the game, I have always been fond of capital ship scale war games.  George settled on the Empire as his side of choice, the big ships are just very cool, and I ended up with the Rebels.

  • Pathfinder’s Rise of the Runelords campaign

    Not that I have been posting for a while (what with the dead site and all), but I have been actively running a brand new group of players thru the Pathfinder campaign module The Rise of the Runelords, since approximately June 2016.  It started out as a small group of my son’s friends, and rapidly grew into a significant group of 10 players.  Some kids, some adults, all new to roleplaying.

    With the restart of the site, it was necessary to re-establish the Twitter link.  If you wish to follow site updates and other miscellaneous news, feel free to follow me on @Halfling1101 (binary 13).  If you are following, you should get a tweet whenever there is a site update (I rarely tweet directly).

    So after several months, I have finally seemed to get a handle on the technical difficulties, and get my miscellaneous website up and running again.  In the process, I have lost all the prior content, and have lost several months of time.  I would claim this is due to the difficulty, but in truth it is more due to distractions and lack of motivation.
