The final figure I was able to show off for the group is the Erinyes, an extradimensional devil which flys thru the air, shooting flaming arrows at its victims. This creature assaulted the group unexpectedly while they attempted to flee from the rust monsters, over an unsteady rope bridge. Unfortunately, it caught the Champion and Bard alone initially, and very nearly killed both before the group moved to support. At this point, the fight is ongoing, though the rest of the group rather conveniently grouped up, allowing it to send a large volley of arrows into the soft armor of…

A second creature a painted up for our Carrion Crown campaign is this Ice Golem, originally intended for far different purposes. The group has been complaining recently about my lack of large-size creatures, so this was a good time for such an oversized beast. This was a bit of a departure from the story as written – given our overly large group size, I have a bit of leeway with the creatures at times, and opted for an oversized, elite version of the creature as described – thus the large stature. This is a model by the well known mz4250…

Been doing some painting recently, in preparation for the current chapter of the Carrion Crown. At this point of the story, the group is exploring Castle Caromarc, the apparently home of The Beast. The castle lord is mysteriously missing, and the place was being guarding by trolls, apparently intent on entering the place as well. Having the defeated the trolls, the group is now exploring the various chambers. This brings the group to the labs, wherein they come face to face with the bane of many warriors – the rust monster. How or why they are here is still a…

I have run this website for a very long time now, at least from my own perspective, and have been posting videos for nearly as long for our gaming activities. Admittedly, I can’t say the material is riveting, especially if you are not a gamer too. My audio and video quality has never really been there either, though it does slowly improve. My sum total of followers who are actually interested in regular updates is probably limited to our specific group, and my wife (who is just being nice). Reality set in a long time ago when I knew this…

I was gifted a rather ornate and awesome hand crafted, leather bound and aged book by my players (thank you to Thad and Robin) during our last game session and have been trying to come up with a use for it. Initially, the thought had been to write out the spell collection for a character, but I don’t typically get a chance to play. Or I could use it for various campaign notes – but that tends to be hit and miss, and frequently dropped mid-stream. A Warhammer “Book of Grudges” would be good, but I don’t really hold grudges…

The big Eagle Project for my oldest son is complete, at least from the physical delivery. We wrapped up the final steps over the weekend, and then with assistance from the Grandpa, delivered to the sponsor yesterday. Now they are in the hands of the sponsor to find a good home – current plan is for the large box to remain in the church, and the two smaller boxes to go to local elementary schools. There they can live out their intended purpose for at least a year or two (or longer if kept indoors). Final step is for George…

Been brainstorming recently about future campaigns, and various storylines I would be interested in running. This tends to happen whenever the schedule starts to calm down some, and I start to look into additional items to fill the calendar. With the Skirmish league wrapping up, I have that type of opening. Once concept I have toyed with is a science-fiction based setting. Ever since we played Starfinder for a bit, I actually rather liked the setting itself. The game of Starfinder, completely unusable in my mind – far too many inconsistencies in the rules and the leveling mechanic for gear…

As planned, we continued our most recent Carrion Crown campaign this weekend, and as planned, we Twitch streamed the game. Overall, no major issues with that, though as expected the audience was non-existent. Maybe that will pick up, maybe it won’t, not really a big factor since it is more of a curiosity. Following the game, I did some quick trimming, and then uploaded the session to YouTube, as part of the ongoing archive, that should be live now. Generally happy with this new process, isn’t too time consuming, and helps make the YouTube format more consistent. I am noticing…
