Another Half-Hour One Hour Wargame Live Play
“Live Play” the man says in the title to describe a battle fought on the table two weeks ago. Whatever. I didn’t land on the post-definitional world, the post-definitional world landed on me. Here’s another battle report you can view from the comfort of your own bunker: In more...
Space Station Gallery
For those of you who prefer still life to video life, here’s a shot of La Tortugastra, still a work in progress. I’ve got a few more terrain items to slap down, and the walls are looking pretty bare to this day. Needs more travel posters, artwork, graffitti, and...
T-Bird and Throttle #3
My hard copy order of Josh Howard’s T-Bird and Throttle arrived a week or so ago, and it got buried beneath a pile of other things. Last night, while zonked out on allergy meds, I reached for the shelf and the timing of grabbing TB&T couldn’t have been better. It...
The Necromancer King Returns
Long time fans of the blog will recall a three-part fantasy campaign played years ago. That campaign died when my primary opponent graduated and flew off to college and other adventures. Well the Necromancer King has finally returned from the Land of the Dead, and you can follow along...
More Details on The Turtle Station
Coupla quick shots today showing some details of the wild and wooly landing bay 1-2-3 for the space port. That planter is just shown for scale. Barrels are wooden dowel cut to size, the boxes are balsa cut to size. Both have been tapped with bits of cereal box...
Secrets of Blackmoor: The Movie
One for the wargames, oddly enough. The birth of Dungeons and Dragons is a strange and fascinating story of how creatives can draw forth order from the froth of chaos. I went into this film expecting a lot of defensive snark about how Gary Gygax was a Johnny-come-lately who...
Tortugastra Interior Decorating Start
My 15mm space station nears completion. Of sorts. This is the sort of project that begs for little details. Take a look at the bar and lounge area shown here. It’s ready for gaming with all the final cover in place and painted, but it still needs some curtains...
The Joy of Wargaming – The Pilot
The online wargaming world features a dearth of wargaming videos that feature smaller and more quirky fare. The Youses and he Tubeses and the Twitches have plenty of chubby beard-o weird-o’s uploading hours of content dedicated to the 800-pound gorilla games. Some of those channels are even pretty good,...
WIP: Tortugastra
My sci-fi boys have been warring over the same stretch of suburban ground for years. They deserve a proper star-faring battleground. To that end, I have been slapping glue, foamcore, and paint around the kitchen table for a while. Just a sneak peek at my own personal wretched hive,...
The Invisible Boys of Paul Street
During my recent discussions on the sad state of affairs when it comes to literature written for discerning boys somebody recommended a useful corrective called The Paul Street Boys. It’s always great when a bitch-fest against modernity turns into a praise-fest for a book written before 1940, and so...
