Episode 4 of the 2nd Chapter (Cult of Cinders) of our Age of Ashes campaign is being released now on YouTube. If you are a supporter on Patreon, you can view the content up to two weeks early. Otherwise, the content will be released in pieces over the next couple of weeks. This particular session was the Battle of the Cinderclaw mine, which was started during the prior episode, and ran for two additional sessions (counting a bonus one for the group). As a result, there was a lot of content to trim down, though the final length is relatively…

For the last few years, my focus on publishing gaming sessions has been on YouTube content, slowly trying to build an audience (or at least learn how to edit and create content). Near the beginning on this journey, I dabbled a bit in podcast formats, specifically audio only versions of the game sessions. These tends to be far smaller, faster to edit, and relatively easy to create once I have the final video files. However, it was also a step that I ended up dropping since it didn’t seem like much of an audience with the growth of YouTube and…

I haven’t posted about my media server and file server in a long time, which is an indication of just how out of date the current software is. In truth, it has been running fine, so there was little reason to upgrade. And the last time I tried a major update, everything crashed and had to be rebuilt. Hopefully, by the time this posts, the current update will be completed successfully. I am upgrading from v11.2u6 (released mid-2019) to the latest v11.3u2 (released early April 2020). For our system, this is mainly a compatibility update – I still don’t have…

So realizing at this point that trying to fit in a second Age of Ashes session, and include the content in my usual editing sequence, was a mistake. This is also a good indication that any thoughts of publishing two campaigns at the same time should likely be squashed as well. It doesn’t help that due to a “proactive” change in the recording format, I had a lot of additional rendering time for the relatively simple video files. Functionally, a normal 5 hour game session occupies about a week of my spare time to edit, trim, adjust, and process, before…

Thus far, we have completed 5 sessions of Pathfinder 2e, utilizing the Fantasy Grounds Unity virtual tabletop. In full defense of the application, it is considered pre-release, so I don’t really expect it to run smoothly. Most of the games (other than expected group technical learning) have been very successful – everyone has quickly adapted and learned the basic of the program. However, the Unity version continues to be hampered by slow performance likely increased due to our large group sizes. At times, opening a item list, or referencing a spell can pause the windows for many seconds, and with…

With the ongoing pandemic, and apparently some excess free time for a few of our players, we are going to be attempting to expand our current gaming schedule. Currently, we continue the campaign every other week on Sunday – we are going to attempt a mid-schedule Friday game. The current schedule is a 3-4 hour game, in the evening starting this Friday. Not sure how this will end up impacting the video release schedule – though the audience is small enough that it wont really impact much. I expect I will likely try to edit it into a single long…

Enjoying a week off of work, to get some projects done around the house and spend time with the family. So far, most of the work has been in the backyard, cleaning up the weeds and bushes that have grown out of control, and re-applying mulch to large areas. Most of the work is unfortunately delayed or problematic though given local restrictions both on going to stores, as well as store imposed restrictions on hours and shopper counts. And of course the weather is interfering with rain and mud, though fortunately there have been more than a few nice days.…
