Solved another problem with the new WordPress implementation – permalinks are now functional again. Everything I found only kept pointing me to reset the .htaccess file, which functionally was irrelevant (but likely viable in a different case. For my issue, the specific problem was that pretty permalinks was broken, but basic permalinks worked fine. The solution was actually an Apache issue – when I enabled SSL, I used a bare bones configuration for the sites-available file. In my case, I needed to add the <Directory> directive to the SSL virtual host (it existed only in the non-SSL virtual host. Specifically,…

Discovered the site was having multiple issues post migration, including a failure of the SSL system and numerous graphics links being off. Those appear to be corrected now, I have fixed the SSL certificates, and with a bit of tinkering updated the various links and media files. Mastodon still is offline, I failed to recognize the inability to run multiple servers from the same public IP, so I have to do some re-organization of that service before it can be accessible to the internet again.

I believe I have successfully completed a full site migration, to move off of my prior hosting service. Since the website doesn’t get a lot of traffic, a self-hosted option is more economical. I am hopeful everything has been caught, but if you notice anything missing or non-functional, please let me know. SSL certificates will be re-established shortly, and performance will improve in the next couple of days with some hardware increases. Functionally, I have until January 8 to confirm everything, before my old account is wiped.

Hasn’t been much growth or focus on our Etsy presence, but I am happy to say that I consider it a success. Though our product listings are small, there is an audience for them, and I have sold a handful of physical products. This has encouraged me to start expanding the options, I have added several PLA color options to the printed parts, and I have a few new wood-cutting options on the way. As our Tabletop channel grows, we have the opportunity to highlight and demonstrate some of the products and test them in real-world use. H13Hobbies – Etsy

Just about a week or two ago, we had our first Traveller/Shadowrun campaign start, with a one-shot I entitled “Horizons”. The primary focus was to experience the mechanics, understand the general power level, and see which systems worked or needed adjustments. Our intent is to use the Shadowrun 6th edition ruleset in a Traveller-based setting, with the group the crew of a trade ship working their way thru the universe. For the most part, the game was a success. With pre-generated characters, we were able to walk thru most of the basic systems – netrunning, magic, combat, skill checks, etc.…

Within the last couple of days, we have hit yet another milestone, and reached 600 subscribers on our Tabletop channel. For YouTube, this is a small audience, but for our little hobby project, this is massive. My thanks and appreciation to everyone who has subscribed, and especially to our regulars who comment and provide feedback. Thanks to the feedback, and perhaps some experience, the number of in-game errors has come down notably and the skill level of the players has improved. Terrain continues to evolve, and although my mini-painting has stalled out due to my work schedule, we have been…

You may have noticed a drop off in content recently, which seems to be an annual occurrence. Each fall, around October and November, life becomes rather busy with sports, band, and other family activities, and our ability to schedule gaming sessions drops off. I have also taken on some new roles with work, which are absorbing much of my free time. In particular, our Legion game schedule has taken the largest hit, since this requires coordination with multiple groups. Fortunately, the Extinction Curse storyline is completed, and the Carrion Crown is managing to continue thus far, but our Warhammer game…

Thanks to some feedback from viewers, I have corrected a shipping issue with the physical products in the slowly growing Etsy enterprise. Quite simply, being a novice, I misstated the expected size of shipping box, so Etsy was calculating shipping at a horrendous rate ($60+ dollars on a $10 item). The sizing has been corrected, and the shipping charges are now more in line with reality. Still not “cheap” for inexpensive items, but at least in line with typical amounts. To help compensate, Etsy automatically removes any shipping charges for orders totally more than $35. And if you order two…
