  • Extinction Curse

    A very solid start to our second major campaign, Extinction Curse. Though one player was missing, they will be joining us for the next game. In the meantime, the new group became acquainted with each other, and the business of running a circus. I had my concerns over the dryness of the circus itself, but in reality the scenario was rather enjoyable. The group had a grand time, not only putting on the show itself, but adapting and overcoming the various unexpected events. It was certainly more exciting than my reading of the book implied. I was also concerned about…

    This Sunday sees the start of our new Extinction Curse campaign, for our second RPG group. Previously, the group has been learning the game with the Fall of Plaguestone adventure – it is now time for them to dive into a full long-term campaign. Thus far, I am only aware of a couple of the characters – each player is creating their own. I know of a Gnome Champion, and a Dwarf Alchemist. Very curious to see what the other players decide on, and the overall group dynamics. I had thought about recording and documenting this campaign as well, but…

    For our ongoing gaming activities, we will be doing a bit of a location shift over the next couple of weeks, moving the location where we gather for the Age of Ashes campaign. Currently, we meet bi-weekly at a local church where my kids are also active in Scouting. For the most part, this has worked well, the church is rather welcoming, and we have never had any issues – except for the occasional and understandable scheduling conflict. However, given the remote location it also means I have a lot of extra time involved to set up and tear down…

  • Clorehaven Tavern

    Working on my next large terrain project, and decided to tackle the Clorehaven Tavern build. This is similar to the Watch Tower and Barn projects, though from the size much larger in print volume. Most likely, I will need to break each floor into several pieces, since the MK3 simply can’t print that large. Similar to prior efforts, this will be a pre-assembled build rather than separate pieces. Planning to do the full timelapse and painting effort. I expect it will likely be most of a week or more on the actual printing, once I finalize the sliced models. As…

    A shout-out to a particularly good Android app for Pathfinder 2e character creation, management, and printing – the Pathbuilder 2e app. With our numerous games, and a number of changes to get adjusted to, this tool has turned out to be invaluable. It does unfortunately only run on Android (no Windows, Mac, or iOS versions), but it runs very well. The developer is quick to add new content, and new features, and from what I can tell, has all current content already included. Once your character is designed, you also have the option to export the file as a form-fillable…

  • Miniature Monday – Clorehaven Barn

    Doubt I will be able to maintain it, but going to try to prepare and display terrain and miniatures on a regular schedule, tentatively on Mondays. In concept, these will include a timelapse of the printing process, along with at least a final painting of the figure, terrain piece, or assembly. Again, I expect I will rapidly fall behind on this plan, so expect them to be rather random. First up is the Clorehaven Barn, which I completed over this last week. The actual assembly is intended to be a Dragon-lock set, where each piece is independent, but in the…

    I am no stranger to miniature and terrain painting, but admittedly my technique is fairly traditional (and likely outdated). With my recent acquisition of an airbrush, I am trying to learn and take advantage of the new processes – hopefully to streamline and improve my painting. Basically, my current process is paint a primer, and layer on a series of opaque paint layers. Once the base coat is down, I use washes and drybrushing to develop shadows and highlights. Simple, basic, and effective – at least to the level of quality I am looking for. With an airbrush however, the…
