Trying to stay entertained, and expanding my movie night theme into a marathon this weekend with the Aliens franchise. Also, switching away from Discord streaming and into an unlisted YouTube stream instead. I don’t believe many people both have Discord and really use it to watch a stream (at least from my minimal experience), and YouTube is much more available on multiple platforms. This also gives me a bit finer control over the stream, and hopefully will allow for better participation. Saturday, 3/28 (start times approximate) 8 AM – Monsters vs Aliens 9:35 AM – Alien 11:30 AM – Aliens…

With our latest session of Age of Ashes, we adjusted to our Covid-19 process – meaning we suspended the face to face session, in favor of an online format using Fantasy Grounds Unity and Discord. Despite the large group of 10 players, the tools worked rather well – we were successful in holding a regular game. Admittedly, there were some issues, but most were a simple matter of learning the new applications, or some basic technical challenges (had some audio echo). Going forward, it is not the preferred method, but it will work for the time being until the pandemic…

With the excitement of Covid, I am working to provide a small distraction, and decided to start streaming movies thru Discord each night. The Discord instance is open for anyone who cares to join in, though I make no claims about the age-appropriateness of any movies. Each day, I will post the planned movie for that night, and the next day will be dependent either on my random preference, or any feedback I receive. Movies start at 8 PM EST, and run until the credits are done. https://discord.gg/HNYSba9 March 23, the movie was the classic Star Wars March 24, we…

Expanding my Star Wars: Legion terrain with several models in progress. First completed is a scale model of an X-Wing, complete with movable wings, landing gear, and a removable R2 druid. Ideally, yes, I would paint the model, but realistically it is not a high priority. The model is available on Thingiverse, and scaled specifically at 1/64. I upsized it to 133% to approximately Legion scale figures (not sure of the exact math, but several forum postings indicated the scaling). The detail on the model is impressive, and I was particularly impressed by the creativity in the moving parts. Everything…

No idea if it will work, be stable, or even worthwhile – but with our conversion to social-distancing gaming, I am going to attempt to live stream out Age of Ashes campaign. This of course will be the raw session – likely rather technically challenging, and slow moving. This will be the first time we have tried to use Fantasy Grounds remotely, so there will be a lot of tutorial and likely less game. If you have interest, feel free to join us. Live chat will be enabled, though I doubt I will be paying any attention to it. This…

As part of my growing terrain collection for Star Wars Legion, I opted to 3d print a scale model of the Razorcrest from the Star Wars Mandalorian series. This was a pretty long print, even with the low infill, but the model ended up pretty good. It is perhaps a bit too small and out of scale, but in my mind it is “close enough” – pictured here with a few of my Wookie warrior figures. Unless I had wanted to break it into even more pieces, this was the limit of the Prusa i3 printer. The model is from…

As part of my video prep for the latest Age of Ashes session, I finished up the painting of the Dragon Pillar terrain piece I was working on. As mentioned previously, this is less “dragon” and much more “tiki”, mixing up the various cultures, but for our gaming purposes this was solid replacement. Painted, it is I think a rather good piece for the storyline. The model is based on the Tiki Statue by Elstorm on Thingiverse, which itself is mixed from prior models. I scaled the model, duplicated and rotated it for four faces, and added a bulk block…
