With the family heading out in a couple weeks for some vacation time, I find myself with an open schedule. Although I still get to work during most of the time, it does give me the opportunity to try out some unusual gaming options. Most notably, I am planning on a set of one-shot Call of Cthulhu games for the local group. Originally, this was going to be two separate stories, or potentially a single longer one-shot. After evaluating my options, and potential number of players, I ended up opted to simply run the same game twice, for two separate…

As my internet journey continues, I have started to notice some small increases in traffic on the various platforms. None are a major size change – I will not be stopping my day job any time soon – but all are notable from my own limited perspective. The biggest increase seems to be on YouTube. As I continue to post a rather steady stream of videos, although most are much longer than anyone cares to watch, the audience seems to have grown quite a bit. I post a game session video typically twice a week, and very rarely other topics,…

It appears that the final piece of Chapter 2 of the Carrion Crown will be wrapping up this weekend, as the group faces off against the Promethean. This chapter has been a bit heavier on the roleplay and investigation, so it is finally time for a full drag-out fight. Of course, it happens to be at the top of an iron tower, in a thunderstorm with heavy rain and winds, while lightning strikes down at the machinery. As the group has explored, they have suffered damage and even one death from the experiments they discovered, but they are holding strong.…

Decided to make an effort to consolidate my Twitch efforts into a single channel, instead of multiple different ones. That makes it somewhat easier to stream from different sources, without having to change the settings, and gives me additional content to fill the time somewhat between game sessions. If you have been a follower of my “Halfling13” channel, please note I will no longer be posting there. Instead, I hope you will entertain a follow for “Halfling13_Gaming” instead. Right now, I am filling the space between games with the occasional 3d print. Who knows, I may end up dropping the…

Having had much time this week due to numerous work projects, but we are managing to continue our Warhammer campaign this evening. The group is currently wandering the streets of Bogenhafen, trying to unravel the mysteries that are ongoing. Following the session last week, I of course did my usual routine of posting the video to YouTube, and reviewing the analytics. It is very interesting to see the differences between Warhammer and Pathfinder key words. Functionally, the Warhammer session last week was far more “popular” in terms of straight views – as in I broke into the 20’s of views.…

As planned, and rather surprisingly, we actually managed to resume our old Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay campaign yesterday. This is a campaign we began in April 2021, but then had to suspend in June 2021 due to summer activities. All of the players had been enjoying the game and storyline, but timing just was not workable, and we had our other larger group activities occupying the Sunday time slots. Over the months, we made several attempts, but it was never successful due to availability. However, this week we resumed the story, now with updated and cleaned up graphics, tools, and details.…

With the weather turning nice, I have jumped into some new woodworking projects, with the long-term goal of setting up a small side business. I am not looking for a new career, mainly just a funding source for the hobby and a means to slowly grow or improve the other tools. Of course, trying to find a product which fits all the criteria – sells well, inexpensive materials, and not much effort to create. Current product I am working with is a planter box. The box itself is a cube, about 16″ on each side, with a farmhouse “x” pattern…

It has been a long time now (about a year), but it seems we might finally be making a return to our Warhammer Fantasy RPG campaign of The Enemy Within. Since December, we have been trying to arrange the schedule, and its appears that Moorslieb has finally aligned. If you haven’t seen or followed this particular campaign, it is of course set in the Empire, in the world of Warhammer. The group is a band of misfits, who came together during random chance, attempting to claim an inheritance that they didn’t actually have, by impersonating a nobleman whom they had…
