We have a lighter week this week, with only a single new video. The tabletop wargames are challenged again, due to multiple conflicts with the end of the high school football season and player avaiability, and this is the off week for Kingmaker. Instead, we have only the Warhammer FRP campaign releasing. For the Enemy Within campaign, our group continues their journey to the south, to Black Fire Pass, though they have been waylaid by a siege at the city of Streissen. Since the river passes directly thru the walled town where all the fighting is happening, they have been…

Busy week this week, with fresh videos being released. We managed to hold our most recent Kingmaker and Warhammer FRP sessions, as well as finally a return to Star Wars Legion with a brand new Tour of Duty format video. The big release this week is the start of our Tour of Duty series, for Star Wars Legion. Josh returns, fielding his Separatist forces against George with a Rebel build. With the Tour mechanics, both start with 600 points, and no unique or named characters, making the battle much more soldier to soldier, rather than major character conflicts. We played…

The new game mode, Tour of Duty, for Star Wars Legion was released a few weeks ago, and promised to add a new dimension to the game. The listed intent was to write your own Star Wars story, with unique characters and upgradable units. For our group, this was most closely equated to a Mordheim-style game, where each battle connects to the next and the armies fight for resources and advancement. Having played our first game, I think they have come close. Coming out this Friday is our first battle report in the new format, Separatists vs Rebels. Josh and…

We have a smaller batch of new videos this week, since we are on the off schedule for Pathfinder. Our Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay campaign continues, as the group sets out to locate and recovery Ghal Maraz, based on pieces of historical artifacts and clues. Certainly, after 2500 years of being lost, the group can easily be the heroes to recover it. But first, a bit of shopping and prep is required, before the board the Carroburg and set sail along the rivers to the south. In a couple of weeks they will reach Averheim, assuming they can avoid the temptations…

Following my success with WordPress yesterday, I become more confident and opted to tackle upgrades within the core Proxmox environment. I have been running version 8 for a month or so for my efforts, in a mixed bag of old and new systems, but since early August, version 9 has been available. This effort started by first cleaning out and removing the unnecessary clustering configuration. My primary system was being clustered with an old laptop for some redundancy, but what I was finding was that it was functionally not adding anything. High Availability requires 3 nodes, and not all of…

After many attempts, and a lot of troubleshooting, I have finally successfully migrated my WordPress site to a new self-hosting option. And this time, without losing any data, which is a step up from previous efforts. Up until now, the site has been running on an old laptop, loaded with Ubuntu. It was stable, but required a nightly maintenance reboot due to an apparent memory leak. The laptop had a broken screen, so I could only really use it thru ssh, which worked but was more than a little challenging. I tried multiple times to move and relocate the instance,…

Ran into a timing issue with our recent Warhammer session and missed my self-imposed deadline. This was caused by an attempt to improve the editing and rendering speed, which ended up having the opposite effect. Rather than rendering in 3 or 4 hours, initial estimates had it at 2 days. After a bit of fiddling and trimming of graphics, I got it back down to a workable version and finished the rendering. I will be resuming my prior format for the next round. Our Warhammer FRP campaign continues now as well, now shifted to our new gaming night of Tuesdays.…

Its been a while since our first two-day effort starting the Two-Headed Serpent, and a story I wanted to definitely continue. All the characters were decent, and the players had a lot of fun, but life had a way of getting into the schedule. Now that some personal issues have somewhat settled down with the players, and with the end of Football season approaching, I am going to start working on Chapter 2 of the story. When we last left off, the group was on the plane, homeward bound from the efforts in Bolivia. They had successfully located and recovered…
