  • Miscellaneous plans

    Going to be a busy next couple of weeks, as I prepare for our upcoming Magic: The Gathering tournament.  I still have to finish up the last pieces of the trophy I have been working on, in between what seems to be nearly constant rain.  In addition, my trips to Toledo are more numerous, limiting…

    Heading out this weekend for some camping with my kids.  The youngest finishing up his last requirements as a Cub Scouts, before graduating to the Boy Scouts, and my oldest as a Boy Scout Den Chief, assisting the cubs.  Will have a large group of cub and boy scouts with us, as we brave the…

  • Magic Tournament – Trophy update

    With our upcoming Magic the Gathering Tournament, scheduled for November 21, I need to finalize my plans for the victory trophy.  I posted a picture many weeks ago of the progress with painting – this is a 3d printed model that I am hand-painting.  However, I have been procrastinating since then and only recently worked…

  • Revisiting the Trophy

  • MtG Tournament Trophy

    Last year, as part of our local tabletop group, we held our first Magic: The Gathering Tournament – a small affair of local players and friends.  It was rather informal, and admittedly almost no one even knew how to play, but we had a good turn out with about 16 players.  Everyone had a great…

  • MtG Tournament results

    Congratulations to George, and his dominating Red deck, who managed to win the first annual Thanksgiving Magic the Gathering competition.  We ended up with 14 participants, which resulted in 4 rounds of games.  Many of the players were brand new to the game, so it was rather educational for many, and I believe we have…
