It has been several years since I attempted live-streaming our games to Twitch, but after a bit of experimentation recently, that has been revived. Of course, the audience is tiny. But our advances in our setup over the last many months and my slow experiences with the formats have made this an option again. Currently, I am set to live-stream our live play RPG games only, Kingmaker every other Sunday at 2 PM EST, and The Enemy Within every Tuesday at 7 PM EST. Perhaps the audience will grow, but if not, its another avenue to advertise for the YouTube…

Its been a busy week with the near end of football season and numerous family events, but we managed to get a couple more games completed this week. Despite some newly released models for both Legion and Bolt Action, I have had very little time to paint or game, or work on much beyond the weekly commitments. For Star Wars Legion, we have a new Tour of Duty battle between Josh’s Separatists, and my novice Empire force. We did end up making some fairly sizeable mechanics errors, but in discussion, it was two-sided. As a result, we did not opt…

On the tabletop front, we have a new Mordheim battle report, with the Carnival of Chaos taking on the Dwarf Treasure Hunters. This was a rather lopsided battle – the Carnival is a fraction of the battle strength of the Dwarves, but that was known going into the fight (and intentional). As a result of the fight, regardless of the results, all Carnival participants gained +3 experience, making the attempt well worth it. As expected, the battle was fast and bloody, though the results were not entirely predictable. https://youtu.be/XYwzVo6IehU Over on the Roleplaying side, we have the next session of…

Spent some time with the 3d printer, now that it is functional again, and printed more of my paint wall. This finally moved the last of the paint bottles up to the wall where they are easily viewable – now I just need to sort them by color to make it a bit cleaner. However, it does free up more space on the table itself which is very helpful. Next stage is to sort all the paints, and perhaps move a few of the other storage spots around, but I think I am pretty close to finished for now.

Our tabletop channel slowly edges closer and closer to the magical number of 1000 subscribers, which in theory unlocks monetization. My appreciation to all who watch and subscribe to the channel, it has been a long journey thus far, with plenty of more content and material to go. The second challenge however appears to be a matter of view hours – per my metrics on the channel, I also need a total of 4000 hours of view time over the last year, which is something that is a bit lacking. Admittedly, a lot shifted back when I moved the Roleplaying…

I finally got motivated enough to start prepping for the next chapter of the Two-Headed Serpent campaign, collecting and printing models for the adventure. Our group returns, fresh from their challenges in Bolivia, arriving by plane to New York. There, they will discover new mysteries, and perhaps a few answers. The next batch is extensive and will require a few custom pieces since I can’t locate at least one or two of the creatures. I will have to do a bit of crude modeling in Blender to make it workable, so I am interested in seeing just how well it…

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…
