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…

We have a batch of new releases this week, covering Mordheim, Pathfinder and Warhammer Fantasy, with our latest round of videos. Mordheim comes in with Battle Report #007, with a Breakthrough mission between the Ostland Mercenaries (recovered now to full strength) and the Dwarven Treasure Hunters (eager for more gold to pay for their replacement Engineer). It was a shorter battle, but a good fight between the groups. Pathfinder has a new session of our Kingmaker campaign, as the group finishes the combat with the Mud elementals near Silverstep Lake, and continues to investigate the source of the Bloom that…

With the release of the new Tours of Duty mechanics for Star Wars Legion, there has been a bit of renewed interest in the game. Several of our players who have not played in quite a while have expressed a desire to try it again, and are actively rebuilding or relocating their models, or just getting back up to speed on the mechanics. Hopefully this signals a renewed stream of content, since the campaign style certainly requires plenty of games. I noticed in the mechanics that there is also a subrule that states that if you concede, you can’t claim…

I have opted to shutdown the Patreon presence at this point, since it simply isnt doing anything but costing extra effort and time. I am more than willing to use it – I believe in the model and option for viewer support, but there isn’t enough channel interest to justify the distraction. Currently, Etsy has been far more successful as a revenue and support path, and in that case, supporters get something specifically beneficial. In a few months, perhaps I will try it again, or if there is any expressed interest. In the meantime, you can support the channel in…

As I continue to struggle finding a routine method to update this website reliably, we continue to game and create content. Our next Mordheim battle report drops tomorrow, seeing a battle between George’s Ostland Mercenaries and my Dwarven Treasure Hunters. This battle was recording during our prior session, as the second of three battles played. It was a solid fight, the Dwarves were far more of a match for the Ostlanders compared to the steamroll against the Outlaws in the prior game. This was despite the Ostlanders being back to full strength, with prior casualties having recovered in time for…

It has been a while since I have posted, due to various issues. The most relevant has been an overall system crash on my primary computer, which ended up resetting a lot of my formats and templates. This didn’t impact the webserver as such, but certainly distracted me for some time. Fundamentally, there was (or is) an issue with a recent Windows 11 patch and existing controllers on m2 hard drives, which causes corruption or data failure. I managed to survive for a bit, but shortly after becoming aware of the issue, my computer decided to react negatively and die.…
