  • Something completely different

    As a side project, my son asked me to 3d print him a swan, in gold. Apparently, it is a joke between him and his friends. Not exactly sure what is funny about a golden swan, but ask, and delivered. The print was a bit of a challenge – the neck did not want to…

  • Legolas

    Slowly we are filling out the rest of the group’s painted miniatures, as the various players complete their painting. For this last game, Legolas was presented, in all his bronze glory. This figure was painted by Craig, who did a very good job, especially since he has not painted very many figures before, and this…

  • Extinction Curse live play

    Currently in development, I am looking into the option of running a second major campaign to begin in January or February with the Extinction Curse adventure path, to be recorded and broadcast similar to our Age of Ashes campaign.  Right now, I am teaching a whole new cast the basics of the game with a…

  • Ages of Ashes, episode 7

    Managed to hold our regularly scheduled game yesterday, and successfully capture the video and audio for the session. This is the first session with the new audio equipment, so I am hopefully the quality will be improved. Now I need to filter, restructure, and edit the footage into the normal format, which will likely take…

  • Watchtower, stage 1

    The first floor of the watchtower project is printed and temporarily assembled. Everything fits and lines up nicely, and the door swings well. Obviously still needs a coating of paint to bring out the details, but that will wait until the full assembly is done. Biggest issue this had (other than general printer problems) is…

  • Speed (or lack of)

    Now that I am home from traveling again, I can give some focus to the printing, and the layer shifting it has been doing. Currently, my working theory is overheating in the y-axis motor – I believe I am just pushing it too hard and/or it is aging. So my current option is to slow…

  • Stair stepping

    New troubles, or returning troubles, with the 3d printer – my prints have started to shift again. This was a problem a few weeks ago, the prints would seemingly randomly shift in the y-axis, resulting in faulty or unusable prints. After my office remodel, I releveled the printer, and tried some other prints, and the…

  • Fall of Plaguestone

    Had a successful kickoff of our second campaign group, with the start of pre-generated characters in The Fall of Plaguestone stand-alone adventure from Paizo. The group is utilizing 7 of the 12 iconic characters, which works well and were well received by all involved. This is really intended as a “learn the system” type adventure…
