Going to be spending several upcoming posts on the subject of live-streaming. Specifically focused on my lessons learned and efforts around live streaming our RPG sessions, but honestly it can be applied to a great many different options. I am by no means an expert, but thru trial and error and many YouTube videos, I have adapted my process into what I believe to be a fairly solution solution. Since your particular situation no doubt is different, take my suggestions and claims as such – only a starting point. Hopefully much of my process will apply, but some you will…

Without touching any of the usual mummy-related jokes, I present the most recent foe the Carrion Crown group encountered. This ancient corpse was hiding in one of two sarcophagi, waiting for the group to engage and be distracted, before emerging to attack. Unfortunately, the group was more than capable and quickly dispatched the creature – even managing to avoid the dreaded mummy rot. The figure is a simple paint job of contrast paint – if anything I went overly simple and didnt even bother with any details. At the time, it was just too small of a figure to bother…

For the past several weeks now, I have swapped over to a Twitch format for our gaming schedule, which I think upload to YouTube after the fact. So far, this is actually working quite a bit better. Although the audience is still non-existent (not unexpected), it does streamline my own workflow quite a bit. Twitch streaming tools are a bit more user friendly, meaning I have at least a chance to be engaged and can fairly easily automate most of the other pieces. At the same time, I create an offline recording of the event, which I can then quickly…

I haven’t posted for a bit, thanks to a bit of vacation from work – just haven’t had the desire to sit at the computer a lot. However, we are continuing our various campaigns and activities, and managed to progress enough to show off some recent painted figures. Most notable was my new Mimic piece, painted and waiting for the group. In this particular case, it was disguised as a sarcophagus, and attacked when the group debated opening the box. The figure itself is printed in resin, from a model created by mz4250 on Thingiverse (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4854949) Sadly, the group made…

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…
