Our other primary campaign, and the longer running one of the two, is our ongoing Age of Ashes campaign. This is our bi-weekly Sunday game, though recent conflicts with the Scouting activities has caused some gaps. The group is currently level 10, located in the city of Kintargo, in the midst of Chapter 3. After having successfully repelled an invasion of the fishing town of Cypress Point, the group has following various leads for the Scarlet Triad to Kintargo. There they are seeking information on the organization, and their elusive leader, Laslunn. While continuing this investigation, the group came across…

As an update to one of our two Pathfinder campaigns, we continue to progress thru the Extinction Curse campaign path. Our schedule is still bi-weekly on Fridays, though sports activities have caused a skipped game here and there. The group is currently in the midst of Chapter 2, working their way thru the mysteries of Escadar. Following up on leads from the first chapter, they located and managed to explore a portion of the Moonstone Hall, while also working to clear the land around their sponsored showplace for their upcoming circus presentation. Most of the challenge has really been with…

As the days of our move continue to stretch on, but our goal comes closer, I have been entertaining the idea of starting additional gaming campaigns. I previously mentioned the potential for a Shadowrun based space/sci-fi campaign, which I still have interest in, but my current focus has instead been turning towards Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay. Specifically, the Cubicle 7 4th edition version, which from everything I have found and seen, is a return to the “good” versions of 1st and 2nd edition. Back in the day, I had many a fun adventure with friends in the grim setting of Warhammer,…

It admittedly has now been several weeks since my last update – all thanks to an overly busy work schedule, ongoing life scheduling, and challenges with our new home and relocation. Work continues to be crazy, with the overall new support contract and migration of the client’s environment. This was scheduled to be completed at the beginning of September – more likely it will run until December. General life events continue to be Covid based – adjusting various schedules around sporting events, after school activities, and school day schedules. The kids manage to do most of their work in another…

Another week, and more updates on the house build and future “super basement” (per the kids). At this point, we have a foundation. The inspectors will be out this week to certify all the necessary parts, then there is waterproofing of the foundation and backfilling of the soil. From there, the floor of the basement goes in and the framing begins. Framing should not be delayed – they have already delivered those materials and they are standing by next to the construction site. Still aiming for mid-October, based on the project manager’s feedback, so I expect a lot of change…

Been pondering options for a sci-fi campaign, now that our Starfinder game has been closed down. Admittedly, I was not a big fan of the Starfinder system (it felt a bit forced for the intent), but I am always a fan of science fiction. The general setting was solid enough, though perhaps a bit too similar to traditional fantasy Pathfinder (which I know is intentional). But it got me thinking of other alternatives that would work well, which ended up with me landing on Shadowrun. As a cyberpunk game, Shadowrun is one I have always liked – it has the…

I haven’t posted in a while about our ongoing (and still active) Pathfinder campaigns, primarily due to our move and the discontinuing of the video archive. Both adventure paths are still active and alive, despite being entirely virtual these days – a state we are hoping to change once the new house is done. For our Sunday Age of Ashes campaign, the group has moved on to Chapter 3, and are fighting slavers in the service of the Scarlet Triad. The group has fought several running battles with the enemy forces which have besieged the town of Cypress Point. At…

Continuing the Star Wars Legion theme, I have the first of several future Stormtroopers, assembled and painted by my son and newest adept. He has done some painting here and there over the last couple of years, but only recently has really had a lot of desire. With our current home transition, I opted to get him a starter set, some brushes, and turn him loose on the Empire. For a first attempt, these turned out pretty good, and certainly will work well for gaming. The paint options are fairly limited, but these are of course white with some black…
