So we tried again this weekend, and again had to end up cancelling the plan game due to scheduling difficulties. The good news is that the system is very workable, and seems very solid for the intended storyline. Unfortunately, real life is just too much of a plan changer to reliably maintain the game. As a result, we have opted to abandon the game, and switch to a more free-form tabletop session instead. In theory, this could be any single day RPG and/or various board and strategy game. In particular, I would really like to start regularly playing Armada again. …

Enjoying some spring break with my family, so not going to be posting much this week. Next week its back to work, and so should have more content to start listing again. As for schedule, this weekend we have our GURPs Warhammer game again, and I am hoping to set aside time to edit the latest Pathfinder session. Perhaps might get a chance to play some Armada as well at some point, though no confirmed plans as of yet.

Apparently we had more content than I expected, so our latest game ended up with the entire session being the wrap up of Chapter 4, rather than just the start and then beginning of Chapter 5. However, this did allow for the group to explore much more of the mysteries of the giant city, which manages to fill in a number of gaps in the overall plot, which proved very beneficial. In particular, since we have been playing this particular campaign for over 2 years, many of the original details have been forgotten. This allowed for a refresh of the…

Part of my side activities includes being the Den Leader for a growing den of Webelos Cub Scouts. Our current activity involves making a movie, to demonstrate the traits of being a scout, an activity that the boys have eagerly been working on. The basic premise is simple, develop a script and film a short film to present at a pack meeting. To this end, they brainstormed ideas, picked their themes, chose costumes and cast, and even make or collected props. The only difficulty we have is with some of the settings – being scouts they tended to be overly…

If you ended up watching the Rise of the Runelords video from yesterday or listening to the podcast, first, thanks for being my limited audience. Second, you likely noticed a lot of background noise on the recording, mainly due to impact noise caused by movement on the table translating into the rather sensitive microphone. In order to help pick up some of the more silent voices, I moved the microphone to the center of the table – unfortunately this meant that it then picked up all the nudges, shakes, and knocks from the table as well. In an effort to…

Finished up the video for the latest game session, though I had challenges with the audio on this one. I was attempting to get better pickups, but that required the microphone to be in the middle of the table. Unfortunately, the tripod has no shock absorbing, so there is a lot of impact noise that carries thru, which is difficult for my novice skills to clean out. I am working on a 3d printed shock mount to compensate, will be testing it at the next session. In the current session, the group finally faces Mokmurian, the villain of Chapter 4,…

In which the group finally faces Mokmurian, stone giant spell-caster leader of the giants, and villain proposing a large scale invasion of Varisia. Uploading the podcast format of the gaming session, for those who prefer that option. If you prefer video, reference the YouTube channel at https://youtu.be/h5ECAiNjdrU

As I posted yesterday, I am itemizing my various 3d Printing materials, in the hopes others might find them useful, and perhaps generate Amazon associates traffic. If these items are of value to you, please consider using my affiliate link, in order to contribute to the site. I mentioned I used Gray PLA from Hatchbox for most of my printing. However, I also have a temperature sensitive blue to white PLA from Gizmo Dorks (http://amzn.to/2HJMf2V), which I used to successfully print the large sized skull project for my son. I was hesitant initially – color changing PLA is more expensive,…
