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.…

Well before this Covid-19 pandemic, this weekend was scheduled to be a bit of a break from work. The wife and older son were going to be in Florida at Disney, and my younger son had our own plans. I had planned for next week to be a vacation from work, to get several projects around the house completed and just have some downtime. Then the pandemic struck, and all plans went out the window. Now, everyone is sticking around (which is good too), but I still have my original plans. Starting Friday, I no longer will be paying attention…

Working hard to complete the last session’s video editing, now that (hopefully) work is starting to quiet down. Stayed up late last night to complete the first pass, working on the second pass today for graphics and audio, then rending tonight. Some quick art work for the thumbnails, and should be able to start publishing on schedule this week. Notably, the session is turned out rather short this time. In our 5 session, I trimmed it down to only about 1 hour of content. normally we are closer to 2 hours or more. I attribute that mainly to explanations, tutorials,…

Times have been rather crazy the last few weeks, between a world-wide pandemic, kids at home 24/7, and a new contract negotiation at work. Fortunately, I have still managed to squeeze some gaming in, but my website content has been suffering. More of an impact is my video editing – it is rather time consuming – which is time I simply have not had recently. My latest Age of Ashes session is as a result behind schedule, and I am at risk of falling behind and/or having to drop the latest record. Fingers crossed I can get caught up tonight…
