  • Raspberry Pi and Docker

    Over the years, I have played with and experimented with Virtual Machines in various forms, typically to run Ubuntu or Windows based systems. These were used for either game servers, web servers, file systems, or just for basic experimentation. Currently, I am running one which holds my Home Assistant instance, on an old Windows laptop,…

  • Dragon’s Crest Update

    As posted last week, I was working on printing a model for the Dragon’s Crest starship, as part of the Dragon’s Rest models. Over the weekend, the last pieces finished up. With the addition of a few more clips, and a handful of ball-bearing magnets, I now consider the model completed. Of course a layer…

  • The Dragon’s Crest

    Some time ago, not exactly sure when, I acquired an STL set as part of a sale from Dragon’s Rest. If I recall correctly, it was for a modular docking bay set, but came with a fully modular set for the Dragon’s Crest design starship. Since my dice tower collection is just about completed, I…

The stone and rock was painted with a layer of light grey on a grey background, various colors for the building, and a bronze…

  • Dice Tower army

    Second of our numerous dice towers, this time painted by my son. This is the GM tower, though not exactly sure of the design aspects. The tower itself is rather large, especially with the dragon’s wings. Coloration was done entirely by my son’s choice, which turned out well, though he was frustrated a bit by…

  • Pillows

    You may have noticed in my prior posting a few decorative pillows on the chairs for the gaming space. These colorful and creative objects are the end product of a project the wife started many years ago, way back in the days of Everquest. For those for which this is unknown, Everquest was one of…
