A topic long ignored is my ongoing 3d printing, mainly around the filament printer. In my case, my current model is a Prusa i3MK3s, honestly a very solid work horse of a machine. It has been very reliable system, except for the occasional user errors with re-adjusting calibration and filament temperatures. However, over time, the metal plates included with the machine have progressively lost their ability to adhere models. Originally, it was reliable – eventually I experienced warping and then eventually not much would stick. For troubleshooting, I tried the normal recommendations – wipe down with Isopropyl Alcohol (IPA), and…

Gave away the first set of miniatures from our Carrion Crown campaign during the game this weekend, to the current players of the storyline. Since there was only two comments, the giveaway was simple – I gave them the option of how or if to split the figures. They opted to amicably split the pieces, one picked, and the other half went to the other player. Not sure if future giveaways will be that clean, but it worked for us. The second set is now up for giveaway, as I continue to clean out my collection. In general, the figures…

Last week, as a filler, we ended up running a Star Wars: Legion game, which I ended up recording and then posting to YouTube. This apparently has been much more successful than our otherwise regular long-format RPG storylines. Which is fine, and not unexpected given recent trends. As such, I am looking to expand this part of my content and are looking for additional players or opportunities to play. If you have any interest, let me know when, and we can fit in a game as much as possible. In the meantime, I am working on the construction of a…

With our RPG gaming schedule disrupted this week, we ended up with no Extinction Curse and no Enemy Within progress. Still wanting a game, my son and I ended up doing a game of Legion instead, both trying out armies that we were not familiar with. In my case, I had a desire to play Empire, while George opted for the CIS Separatists. Army lists were a bit spur of the moment, so only minimal thought was put into them, which made the battle challenging at least. Battle parameters ended up with Intercept the Transmissions, on a Long March field,…

Taking on a new big project and attempting to print and build a life-size B1 Battle Droid. This is from a design by Droid Division, and at least from the pictures, it should be rather impressive. Supposedly the final product stands 78 inches tall, so might be a bit imposing as well. Certainly, the full-size droid head I have already printed is intimidating already. Originally, this started out as a request from the wife to print a model of the Lola bug droid, but when acquiring those models, I opted for the larger project as well (the bug droid was…

Due to ongoing scheduling challenges, we have had to move around our calendar. The Extinction Curse game this last Sunday was cancelled, and the Warhammer game this week is similarly postponed. Extinction Curse will be on July 17 next, and Warhammer will hopefully resume next week on July 13. Currently, we only have the Carrion Crown Pathfinder campaign upcoming on schedule, on July 10. In the meantime, we were able to successfully hold a second session of the Call of Cthulhu story, The Dare. With a new group, they had a lot of fun attempting to survive the night in…

Saturday is scheduled our second session of The Dare scenario for Call of Cthulhu, with a fresh group of victims/players. I am repeating the exact same scenario and am very curious how the new group will react or adjust to the situation – the main difference is the team are all teenagers, instead of a mix of adults and teenagers. Although they can relate to the 10–12-year age of the characters much better, they are about 20-30 years out of touch with the setting of 1985. As always, we will be streaming the game on YouTube, several of the players…

Last night we managed to wrap up chapter 1 of the Enemy Within campaign, with our Warhammer Fantasy campaign. The session ended up a bit short, but thats more of the nature of the mid-week games that we are doing, rather than the content. The group managed to get themselves frames for a large number of crimes and ended up having to be smuggled out of town or face public hanging from the town watch. Ironically, it was their actions which saved everyone in the town for a demonic threat, but of course it was done in secret at night,…
