Managed to stay ahead of schedule, and finish up the latest Age of Ashes episode over the weekend – it is uploading now to be published on Friday. So far, I seem to be able to edit and finalize each video in just about a week, though it does require a fair bit of time each day. I would allow for an earlier release schedule, but that would then lock me into a much tighter time frame – this way I have a few extra days just in case of conflicts. I still have some means to streamline my process,…

Thanks to the templates I have created over the last few episodes, my editing this week is actually ahead of schedule. Having said that, I am of course going to lose ground this weekend again, partially since I simply said I was ahead, and partly due to pre-planned events. In particular, we have a busy weekend of kids activities, with football games and marching band shows. We are also selling popcorn for the Scouts, and trying to fit in several other options on Saturday. Going to be a long weekend.

Working on a revised idea for equipment management in the Pathfinder campaign, which would be applicable to just about any RPG. Not exactly ready to fully roll it out yet – that will likely wait for our next gaming session, but I have been collecting various materials. In theory, this should help our large group not only with managing their particular pieces of gear, but also with understanding and tracking all the new traits and abilities of the gear.

It has been many years since we have routinely played Warcraft, but the recent launch of Warcraft Classic managed to call us back. The “new” version is from the 2004 era – no heirloom gear for fast leveling, minimal quality of life improvements, and relatively high death rate. But it is fun, at least for now. Even better, the kids are now at the age to be able to play and hopefully appreciate it – we stopped playing after they got old enough that free time was too limited. Now we can play as a family, with a pre-made group…

Working on the editing of the next episode of Age of Ashes, and realizing that some of my adjusted camera angles are a bit too adusted. I was trying to focus more on the group, and try to avoid the backs of the other half of the players. Unfortunately, it ended up with an overly high angle, and didnt really avoid the block. Plus, to adjust for the many players, I ended up with a bit too much background. Not sure what the solution is, I will be trying a different option next time. Basically, we are trying to squeeze…

As we continue our Pathfinder Age of Ashes campaign, the group is slowly collecting and painting their miniatures for their characters. One part that is particularly interesting to me is that everyone is very much vested in not only have a representative figure, but in hand painting it themselves. To that end, we have custom ordered figures, and others that are unable to be used until the painting is fully finished. The most recent is Goruza, the group’s Cleric of Sarenrae, and a Half-Orc. As usual, the figure is hand painted by the player, which turned out very nice –…

At this point, the second session should be posted. The content is a bit longer, since we actually played a full session, and generally managed to keep moving. The group finished up the encounter in the Town Hall with the fire elementals, are hired by the council to investigate the trouble at Citadel Altaerein, and make their first entries into the old fortress. There they meet unexpected resistance, which pulls the group together as an actual party. https://youtu.be/IA4WIlQEgYg Remember to subscribe if you want to be notified of future video releases, and like the video if you enjoyed it.

Republishing my Patreon page got me motivated to do a bit of site cleanup. As a result, I cleaned out some old links that were simply not being used – no more Instagram or Twitch. If I ended up deciding to use those in the future, I can always re-add. What little content I have on Instagram I will probably just leave, and Twitch auto-cleans itself out anyway. Neither tool really fits with my preferences – I dont take a lot of photos, and I almost never have a desire or capability to stream live. I doubt they will be…
