    As a temporary measure, while the new house is being built, we are living with the inlaws. Although this brings its share of pros and cons, one of the larger impacts has been internet and network connectivity. Between my day job and various hobbies, I utilize quite a bit of internet bandwidth, and our home…

    Continuing the process of selling and relocating, we passed another major milestone. With the results of the house inspection, we have settled on and agreed with the buyer on the level of repairs and/or compensation required. The final step is now the formal bank appraisal of the house (which is not really an area of…

    Following another kickstarter (Fate’s End Dice Towers), I have a growing collection of themed dice towers in 3d printer formats, ready for printing and creation. This was more of a fun collection, rather than a truly useful or practical effort – but with kickstarter, there are lots of inexpensive projects. Each design is a set…

    Thanks to a recent Kickstarter (Hexton Hills), I have a new long term effort – attempting to recreate a version of the Pathfinder world map in 3d relief. Pictured is a set of sample tiles – each are 2 1/4 inch hexes, representing the dominant terrain of the location. With some simple painting and highlighting,…

    Earlier this year, in an attempt to streamline my 3d printing efforts and avoid frequently changing PLA spools, I was convinced to try a large-spool format. Specifically, I opted for the 5 kg spool of grey PLA from Gizmodorks (gizmodorks.com). This was in comparison to my previous use of 1 kg spools, typically Hatchbox brand.…

    The process moved fast, with only 2 days on the market we received and accepted an offer for the old house. Officially, we haven’t closed, but it is now “under contract” and pending. We have inspections and then likely final negotiations, but if all goes well, by July 10 the old place will be a…

    As our move settles down, my gaming schedule seems to have settled as well. I am currently involved in three separate campaigns, which does add a lot of effort, and was a bit of a juggling match over the last few weeks. Our ongoing Pathfinder 2 Age of Ashes campaign has resumed, and continues every…

    I haven’t posted in a while, but there have been numerous changes. Most importantly, we managed to clear out the old house, pack everything away, and complete necessary repairs and projects. The house is now on the market, and with the current home sales environment, rather active. On the destination, we have finalized our options…
