So just when I am starting to get comfortable that my network and server configuration is nice and stable, of course I suffer an outage. If you had been trying to reach my site over the last couple of days (since Saturday), most likely the connection was up and down. This was due to an apparent disruption within my AT&T provider service. Initially, they thought it was the router in my home – so they scheduled a next-day technician. The following morning, the router was self-corrected and working again, so they claimed “line noise” – and sent the technician out…

Had our first death of a character during our Rise of the Runelords campaign, which came as a bit of a shock to most of the group. Exploring an old structure underneath the Skull’s Crossing dam, they set off a construct guardian, a Skullripper. The rogue, opening the wrong door at the wrong time, happened to get its attention immediately, and despite the group’s best efforts, rather rapidly had her head removed from her body. The paladin and cleric almost shared the same fate, but with the combined efforts of much of the group, they managed to destroy the creature,…

Finished the video earlier than typical this week, partially due to an abbreviated game session, and partially due to a long travel week for work. And mainly because I made a focused effort to get it done early, so I can attempt my plans at painting miniatures this next week.

If you have been a follower of this site (not sure those exist), then you may have read a couple weeks ago that I was inspired to start painting miniatures again with my recent purchase of Zombicide: Black Plague. I even went so far as to create a subject-specific YouTube channel to create and post videos. Of course, I then failed to follow thru on the project, partially due to distractions and scheduling, but mainly do to my own laziness. I am still very interested in tackling that project, but it seems very difficult to find the time to sit…

A while ago I tried to document and post my process in editing and preparing video content, which of course was immediately obsoleted by myself changing said process. As such, I have revised the content, and now have it posted as a static page instead. The intent here is to update the page directly, as the process changes, rather than having miscellaneous posts. As I have mentioned before as well, I am always looking for assistance with editing, if there is anyone even remotely interested in the process. Although I can’t pay for any effort, it is a decent way…

The game is obviously working when it starts to inspire fan art. One of our players decided to draw the trolls which recently attempted to eat the group. Surprisingly accurate to the Pathfinder official artwork, though perhaps not as intimidating as they typically are. Credit to Ben for his illustration. At the same time, word is that at least one of the players has been inspired to right their own novelization of the game, though I haven’t been able to read it yet. If you are feeling inspired as well, let me know, and I can share your work as…

Another round of Pathfinder, and another lengthy video and audio collection to edit. This last game included an attempt to add in Fantasy Grounds to provide some visual aids to the group, which would have also allowed for some initiative graphics in the video – unfortunately my laptop plans fell apart at the start of the game and I could not get the software to work properly. Ended up giving up on the idea for now, but will likely try again at the next session. I also found some additional royalty-free music options, which may allow me to add some…

Had a bit of excitement over the weekend, when I was notified that my credit card was being used in San Francisco to take Lyft trips. Normally not a concern, except that I have not been to San Francisco in many years. From what I can tell, during our recent trip to Disney World, our card got skimmed, and it then became active in California. Overall, not a big hassle – the card company of course immediately cancelled the card, and is clearing the charges – but it did cause a bit of challenge since that is the same card…
