I want to call out and thank YouTuber MM’s PropShop for their recent assistance with my 3d printers. If you have any interest in Star Wars, droids, or 3d printing, they are an inspirational source, frequently posting videos on the creation of numerous life size models, with professional level painting. If you haven’t subscribed to them, do so with haste. Their work inspired me to previously print the B1 Battle Droid, which is sitting nicely in a corner in my basement, and then recently the IG-88 “Nursing Droid” (all models are available from DroidDivision – AKA Bob’s 3D Printable Droids…

As mentioned yesterday, I obtained the Mothership RPG following Gencon (ordered directly from Tuesday Knight Games, since I could not obtain it at the convention). I only have the PDFs for now, the physical books will be a week or two, but from what I am reading thus far, I am really impressed. I had heard great things about the game, both thru various articles and some YouTube reviews, but many of those can be biased based on sponsors. I know most groups try not to bias things, but some naturally slips in when it is a promo copy or…

It was a successful trip to Gencon this last weekend, both kids and I had a lot of fun, though ended up rather tired. Two days later, and my muscles are still feeling all the hiking. The show itself was sold out, so it was good that we pre-purchased tickets (and had them shipped, the lines for pickup were rather long). We did wear our new logo t-shirts, and I was quite happy to have at least 2 people recognize the channel. Neither ended up stopping to talk, which is fine, we were in the vendor halls so it would…

I have mentioned it in one arena or another, this weekend is the big Gencon 2024 convention, in Indianapolis, Indiana. I will be attending with both kids on Sunday, trying to do the marathon run thru the vendor hall for whatever is new, trendy, or inspiring. In particular, I am on the lookout for a new terrain mat for our Legion games (thinking desert or ocean), and any inspirational ideas or concepts for roleplaying games. Almost certainly will swing by Paizo as well, though I doubt I will grab the new books there (preferring the local game stores). Under direction…

Perhaps it is the release day, or perhaps it is the new content (Bad Batch and the new ruleset), but our latest battle report is doing very well on the analytics. We have smashed thru our prior records of views, comments, and new subscribers for the first 24 hours. I believe we have also already surpassed the total number of likes for a video, for any lifetime, in only the first 24 hours, so the format must be doing something right. I do suspect it is newer content rather than timing, but I like to see the activity regardless. YouTube…

In our ongoing Warhammer FRP campaign, we have a mythical Bogtopus known as Larry Leggs (called that by the locals), which exists in the Schadensumpf swamp west of Middenheim. This creature has existed for a very long time, preying on creatures and beasts of the swamp, and occasionally roaming out for other sources of food. The locals, aware of its danger, keep the creature “fed” by leaving criminals for the beast at the eastern edge of the swamp. As a result of its age, and various unnatural influences, Larry has grown and advanced to enormous size, and nearly impossible abilities,…

The big news yesterday was the release of the new ruleset for Star Wars Legion, and with it a fairly significant change in the mechanics and process. In particular, it invalidated our current game tracking dashboard, due to the new cards. Not to fear though, it inspired me to dive in and make it new again. I present the updated, v2.6 compatible, Legion Dashboard. Cut from multiple layers of 5mm plywood using a laser, the board assembles easily and is inspired by the official graphics provided in the rules update. Card slots are sized for sleeved cards (since they are…

A surprisingly strong view count of our most recent Kingmaker session, with the start of the Wilds showing very strong viewership as of this morning. Perhaps the algorithm finally hit the mark, but I suspect it is mainly the “Kingmaker” name and association with Pathfinder. Regardless, welcome to all the new visitors, and my appreciation to the new subscribers. I did post a short listing of our house rules that are in effect for Pathfinder 2e, we really do make an effort to follow the rules as written, but I am one to tinker and always seem to change something.…
