Old-school gaming

Been pondering some new gaming options around our RPG efforts and considering a switch back from the electronic virtual tabletops and laptops. Foundry VTT is excellent, and has served very well for many years now, and the laptop setup is solid and reliable. Each week, we have several games with Pathfinder and Warhammer FRP that…

Continuing my diorama style thumbnails for the Age of Ashes episodes, highlight some of the terrain and painted figures. Planning on adding a few of the group’s painting efforts, once I can hold on to them post game, but for now it is rather basic. This does however give me the opportunity to continue my…
A bit short for a stormtrooper
A second Father’s Day acquisition, the family supplied me with the Princess Leia mini for Star Wars: Legion. This is good, since the collection has been heavily favoring the Empire recently and the Rebels really needed some reinforcements.

At the end, you can choose to have the figure professionally printed, or you can download the STL file for self-printing. However, since a home printer…
Paladin (with beer)

Decided to test the limits of the printer, and attempt to print a custom gaming miniature. In this case, it is a paladin, wielding a sword and beer. Resolution was set for 0.1mm, and there was a lot of support material, but overall I am happy with the quality. The picture certainly highlights the roughness…
Star Wars – X-Wing intro game
Since we had to reschedule the start of our Shadowrun campaign, I used the opportunity to try out the second edition of Star Wars X-Wing with my son. The closest comparison we have is Armada, which although Star Wars, plays much differently. The main advantage we found is that the game runs much faster, turn…
