From the same collection by Hugolours on Thingiverse, we have a small villager house. For now, I have the one, but I am planning to expand to a few additional pieces, to serve as a farm house, or perhaps small village in the future. Definitely could use a bit of paint and some more cleanup on the edges, but the model is very nice. Additional options include more floors, a balcony, and optional ruined sections for damage or aging. Beyond the RPG games, these should also be useful in wargaming or other settings – though they don’t really match the…

Continuing on with my scatter terrain theme, I printed recently a wooden tower or tree stand, part of the collection by Hugolours on Thingiverse. If found this during our Kingmaker campaign, after the group attacked bandits who were equipped with tree stands for defense, and didn’t have any models. The collection is actually a fairly large assortment of modular pieces, that can be mixed and matched to form a castle wall, a small village, or various other pieces. I have slowly been working on a small collection, though have also been having printer challenges (it has developed a notable shift…

Been working with the 3d printer and creating some scatter terrain for the upcoming campaign (and general RPGs). One thing I have always been lacking is a set of camp pieces to represent the group whenever they are ambushed or attacked (or attack someone else) at night. To this end, I located a set of terrain by Ecaroth on Thingiverse, which fulfills my needs. Obviously they can use a bit of paint, and the printing isn’t the highest quality, but they will certain serve the needs intended. https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2653284 https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2653263 https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2652986 https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2653249 https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2652977

This last Sunday, we wrapped up Chapter 1 of the Kingmaker campaign, and brought to close the storyline. With our group, it was rather successful as a story, although we glossed over a bit of the ending to make it to the final battle – basically the group jumped ahead to the assault on the Stag Lord’s fort.

Gencon 2019 convention is starting tomorrow, and for the first time, my son and I are attending the entire 4 day event. In previous years, we have gone on the Sunday Family Day, but last year there was simply no way to see and experience everything. With some planning since December, we decided to do the full experience, pre-purchasing badges, tickets, and parking We are set for several events and games, and a few seminars, along with plenty of time in the vendor hall playing demos. More importantly, most of our regular gaming group is attending at least part of…

To go with the B-Wing yesterday, we also managed to add some reinforcements to the Scum, with the Mining Guild TIE fighter. This was a request from my son, who has taken a liking to the current Scum options, but wanted a decent filler ship compared to the much large Falcon and Slave I. I don’t really have much extended universe knowledge of this ship, although I assume it plays and flies just about the same as an Empire TIE, perhaps with sub-standard pilots. The painting is of course very good, with a nice yellow color that will help it…

Expanding our X-Wing collection with the latest wave, and adding the Rebel B-Wing. This has always been one of my favorite designs, even if the basic concept itself is rather unrealistic. With the new edition, Fantasy Flight has added quite a bit to the model, with a rotating mount point to the stand, folding wings, and a rotating cockpit. I never saw the first edition version, but I am impressed by the current one. As for gaming, this bulks up the Rebel fleet a bit better, to allow for a couple more options. Especially since we play multiple player games,…

Finished and posted the test video, now looking for feedback. As stated yesterday, the video quality is what it is, and the audio is still a challenge, so I cant do much about those. If the editing, camera placement, sound effects, or music are off, that is something I can fix, or at least try out alternatives. The intro and outro are Age of Ashes, consider this an early preview, but the main content is actually our Kingmaker campaign. https://youtu.be/c_j6XqDBxjQ One more chance to run another test this coming Sunday, with our last Kingmaker session. My real challenge now will…
