Finished the printing of the pieces for the ancient red dragon, and did a bit of quick assembly. The pieces are still rough, and could use at least a coat of a primer, if not a full painting, but overall I am rather happy with the results. I included a Valeros figure for reference. The base size is 5×5, which puts it (for Pathfinder) slightly larger than Gargantuan, but smaller than Collosal – which is just about right for an ancient wyrm red dragon. Of course this is all assumptions related to the upcoming campaign – in August I may…

In preparation for the upcoming Age of Ashes Pathfinder campaign, I decided I could use my 3d printer to create some of the big bads of the story. Of course, I don’t have any of the details yet, but I know the adventure includes several dragons, and at least one major red dragon. So I have been using a model to create a print for a gigantic red dragon, to be painted and finished at a later date. With my printer, this requires the model to be broken into several pieces just to fit in the print volume, then assembled…

It seems googly eyes make everything better. Some time ago, I attached a pair to my 3-d printer, and then due to a lack of projects, forgot all about it. Started a new project yesterday, and was pleasantly surprised to see the printer staring back at me in the camera. Gives me a chuckle each time I look at it now.

Been suffering quite a bit of slow activity recently, and missing my own schedule for postings. Given that I have tried to make this into a daily habit, it causes me a bit of stress each day that I end up missing. However, life and work seem to be troublesome at times. Most of my challenge was work, with a lengthy Disaster Recovery exercise that did not go very well, and resulting in many long hours. That then turned into personal illness, as I was fighting a bit of flu. Either way, hobby pursuits dropped to lower priority. Upcoming, I…

Coming off a couple of 16+ hour shifts with work, with likely another one or two coming up, thanks to our annual disaster recovery exercise. Between the drill and the upcoming Memorial Day holiday, it seems most of the rest of the support staff have conveniently disappeared. As such, it makes it a bit challenging to stay focused. Managing to survive so far, but my age is certainly making it much harder to stay engaged, compared back when I was in my twenties. Back then, a 72 hour shift was not unheard of.

After reviewing our upcoming calendar, our group decided that we actually could attend more of Gencon this year than originally expected. My son and others are involved in Marching Band for the first time this year, and we fully expected that they would then be tied up thru Friday night of the convention. However, apparently the first year students don’t actually have much going on until the start of school. As a result, we are now trying to scramble and find rooms for the extra days – we previously signed up for the full 4 day badges, but had only…

Continuing our current Kingmaker campaign, the group set out from Oleg’s again, after managing to have several of the group cleansed of their recent lycanthropy curses. Unfortunately, those cures cost most of the remaining resources, so the group was looking for a big win to bring in some needed resources.

Been having some email discussions with my long term gaming friends, and entertaining the idea of starting up a second bi-weekly schedule. Still very preliminary, and no idea of who or what, but been brainstorming various options. Listed in no particular order is some ideas I have: Warhammer Fantasy setting with GURPs mechanics (aka, GURPs Warhammer) – we tried this out during an earlier experiment, and the two systems meshed very well. Ended up dropping due to scheduling, but the interest was certainly there. I really like the setting, but the various versions of the official game always felt lacking…
