We finally managed our second session of our Travel campaign for the Pirates of Drinax, with the group continuing their investigation into recent pirate attacks on nearby systems. They began the session at Torpol, and set out to track down the damage Scout Courier ship that had fled the system. That brought them to a derelict space station, on the edges of the system, long abandoned, but used as a pirate “disposal” site. If pirates would have someone to eliminate, rather than simply spacing or shooting them, they would occasionally maroon them at the space station, until they ran out…

Our Kingmaker campaign has kicked off with some excitement, our first session will be posted this coming Friday. All but one of the players were available (with George subbing in), so we had a full group of characters. Per the start, the adventure begins with the characters responding to a call for Heroes, adventurers willing to go into the Stolen Lands and settle the territory. Most of the session was roleplaying, with the group dealing with a meet and greet over an extended dinner. Surprisingly, our typically combat focused group actually did pretty good with this challenge with several of…

Latest news and happening with our weekly video blog, the Viewport (part of our efforts to establish TableTopTube), is now posted and available. Check in with our group weekly, on recent activities, behind the scenes information, and upcoming plans. This week, we had our planned group bowling trip, and posted battle report 081 for Legion. Upcoming, we have a recording session for battle report 082, and the restart of our various roleplaying efforts, including Kingmaker, The Enemy Within, and The Pirates of Drinax. I also dabble with AI technology and software, and have a few new ideas and concepts for…

Our latest battle report should be live at this time, with a focused fight between the Republic and the Empire. We have Carter playing the Republic and George with the Empire, both are highlighting the recently released new units. For the Republic, we have the Clone Commandos, and for the Empire, we have Range Troopers. The video is available on the YouTube channel at https://youtu.be/jt_UDzecJeE. Both units are solid and intimidating, though in this particular battle the Range Troopers came out on top. I think the Clone Commandos are a good addition to the Republic, though they are already a…

I am quite happy to say that my design for what I am calling my Apothecary Paint Storage option is finally finished, after a couple of months of design, test cuts and revisions. Everything fits together well, and all the sizes are accurate (at least for my materials of 2.8mm and 5mm thickness). I have added the plans to Etsy, available immediately for purchase for anyone interested in building their own. The plans are also added to our YouTube Membership rewards, if and when we grow to that level. I do not currently plan on selling physical versions, both due…

We are rapidly approaching the start of our new Pathfinder campaign, using the Kingmaker adventure path (the revised and updated version for Pathfinder 2e). Artwork for the sessions is being finalized, and characters are just about done. Will be an interesting mix of characters, I have challenged all the players to play some class they have not played before, so the entire group dynamic is being shuffled around. For the 7 players, I have most of the ancestries and classes, and a few of the names, as summarized below. Our campaign kicks off on June 2, with a bi-weekly Sunday…

Months ago, I posted a video or two I titled “Behind the Brush” – short demonstrations and examples of the painting techniques I used. Very primitive and basic but accomplished their simple goal. However, they didn’t get much traction, I suspect mainly because they were so basic. With my recent efforts to do more talking to the camera type content, and my ongoing efforts to make a dent in the painting backlog, I have decided to restart this effort, but in a new form. Using my new camera, my intent is to do a live-stream painting session and behind the…

New unit deployment, acquired and painted on schedule. The Republic Clone Commandos are deployed, ready for close range suppression and engagement. Similar to the Range Troopers, the Clone Commandos ended up being pretty straightforward – they are really only two primary colors, plus some additional adjustments, as listed below for my recipe: Overall, I would say I spent about 4 hours, mainly in considering and debating on the approach for white armor, and then to try to be careful on the drybrushing. I ended up second guessing myself after the layer of Nuln Oil – the armor looked very dingy…
