Not much work today with the website or content, as we are enjoying Beggar’s Night with the kids. Not only is this a good season for candy, but I have always found this to be the best time to find or collect gaming props – there are an abundance of supplies at costume shops. And many of them go on sale either today or tomorrow. Regardless, stay safe out there, and don’t eat too much sugar.

I must be doing something right, or perhaps I am being overly optimistic, because the activity metrics on the site are trending very favorably. Although statistics and metrics can always be misleading, I of course study them to try to see the future by learning from the past. Relative to the website at least, I have shown a steady increase in traffic since May, with a 10% or higher growth for each of the last months. Admittedly, when the traffic is as low as it is, 10% is not much extra activity. And prior to May, these volumes bounced up…

Haven’t posted the last few days, primarily due to the previously mentioned office remodel. Over the weekend, we ventured forth to our local Ikea, and purchased numerous pieces for the office. Since early Friday, my computer systems have been dismantled, and they are only now getting back to operational status. Fortunately, most of the design has worked very well – I have much more desk space and now a dedicated crafting and hobby section. The trade off is unfortunately less storage space, which is forcing a bit of overall purge. As a result, a large amount of past material has…

Making the move to remodel my workspace quite a bit, and hopefully gain a much cleaner area. Of course, step one is a massive purge of all the various collections I have gathered over the years. Going thru all the pieces, I have been discovering that there has been a lot of waste – projects started and items purchased that ended up going no where and being abandoned or forgotten. This also gives me a good chance to shred and eliminate old financial paperwork that I have been hording, which is causing my shredder a bit of difficulty – it…

Ongoing evolution of my efforts. I spent some more time at our gaming location last night, attempting to recreate and then resolve the audio hum I was getting during the last session. At the time, it was very concerning – I had to reduce the gain in all cases to almost silent to eliminate it. Of course, since I forgot to record the session, I am not sure if it was just in the monitoring headphones, or in the actual audio. I worked to recreate the situation last night, complete with all the microphones, cables, and connections. And despite my…

So, apparently this whole video production thing is difficult – to the level that it is hard to remember all the bits and pieces in a rapidly moving and evolving configuration. Case in point – in order to have decent audio, it is important to actually start the recorder… As noted before, I spent the time and effort to upgrade the audio environment for our game, and conducted several tests over the last week. Everything was spot on, and I am beyond pleased with the Zoom H6 recorder. During our game, I had some unexpected challenges (the lavalier mic would…

Publishing the 5th episode of Chapter 1 of our Age of Ashes campaign. This one is a bit short this week, thanks to an untimely work related call that disrupted the game mid stream. The group returns to Citadel Altaerein, and begins the exploration of the lower vaults, to attempt the removal of the Cinderclaw Cultists. https://youtu.be/kgrKLDGA4iw

Finalized the schedule for our upcoming 3rd annual Magic the Gathering tournament, now planned for November 30, from 2 PM to 6 PM. Had a bit of a conflict with a pre-planned Scouting event, so had to switch from our normal Wednesday, but this may work out better. At least this way, travelers may be back from their trips in time to join us.
