Got some glass shelves to add to one of the bookcases and set them up as a minis display. These are mostly pre-painted plastic WOTC D&D minis. Most of the shelves are a few tanks deep. Considering about five more shelves (one more for this case, and four for the other). I have an unpainted […]

picked up a couple backpacks to use as our hurricane evac bags. that got me interested in hiking/camping. looking at all sorts of backpacks online now, and going to try building my own. have some ideas and sketches, will post progress once i get started.

Took the day off from working out, visited family for two of my niece's birthdays, picked up, and put together a dresser for the baby room. painting is mostly done in there, but need to do some edging and some additional fun stuff. got another dresser for our bedroom, but didn't feel like putting it […]

Need to add some clouds, maybe some hills and a sun, but the main wall in the baby room is painted. Added a dresser from IKEA (one of the smaller Malm dressers in a light blue). 

Here's a very basic marine. I used the template from GURPS Space. The character is built on 150 points, though only 130 have been allocated--that should give plenty of room for some non-combat customization (though I'm sure players would likely boost the relevant gun scores, and maybe add some different specializations). I won't worry about […]

played through Tyranny this weekend, enjoyed it a lot. Loved the story, and the spell-building system stood out for me. companion characters were mostly pretty good, but occasionally annoying trying to keep them happy. the artifacts and the crafting mechanics weren't anything too groundbreaking, but pretty good execution. 

Watched the new Alien movie today, and as has been a frequently common occurrence for me when seeing a movie, I liked it, but had some major gripes. Have been holding off on working any new RPG material until this came out, but out of excuses now. I don't foresee this movie changing anything that […]

First month in the primary fermenter is over. Transferred the mead into a carboy, where it gets to sit for three more months.

I had begun work on building out a couple character templates, and some xeno stats, but decided it would make more sense to build out the make-up of the rifle team first. Building from two teams of five soldiers, gives us two PC-sized groups, along with the Squad Leader (our generic Sgt. Apone), and a […]
