Dark Sun Worldwide Game Day Recap

While I might not be the strongest believ­er in fate, I hap­pi­ly rec­og­nize and accept serendip­i­ty when it occurs. I had signed up for the lastest Dun­geons & Drag­ons World­wide Game Day — to get play­ers famil­iar with the new Dark Sun Cam­paign Set­ting sup­ple­ment — with my local gam­ing group. As it turns out,… Con­tin­ue read­ing Dark Sun World­wide Game Day Recap

Steam on the Mac

While I think it’s great that Steam is final­ly avail­able for mac users, I’ve still yet to ben­e­fit from it. I first bought Por­tal about two years ago and played it via Boot Camp on my iMac. It was just as won­der­ful as every­one said it was and I had a great time. Some time… Con­tin­ue read­ing Steam on the Mac

D&D Encounters — Week 1

D&D Encounters
The pur­ple-ish mini at the end of the bridge is my tei­fling ardent.

Play­ing the first encounter of the under­moun­tain adventure. 

Portal Gets a Mysterious Update

Also in the sur­prise-to-me-release cat­e­go­ry, Valve released a rather strange update to their 2007 hit Por­tal today. Though not much in terms of game­play was added, the ever-present radios placed through­out the game now seem to have some sort of sig­nif­i­cance. Car­ry­ing the radios to var­i­ous points with­in the lev­el unlock a new game achieve­ment.… Con­tin­ue read­ing Por­tal Gets a Mys­te­ri­ous Update

Wednesday Night D&D Group

Some­time in the Fall 0f 2008, I joined a group of folks I met through a Meet­up at Mike’s place in Spring Hill to play 4th Edi­tion D&D. This is a back-post of some pho­tos I took from a cou­ple of games in Feb­ru­ary 2009. The orig­i­nal pho­tos (and com­ments) are on Flickr.

Battle at the Lighthouse

Battle at the Lighthouse
The mini almost between the two columns is my char­ac­ter: a tei­fling Warlord

I played D&D at Mike’s place on Sun­day evening. We play-test­ed a new LFR adven­ture before its release lat­er this year. The areas above rep­re­sent the bot­tom and top floor of a light­house the par­ty was storm­ing to take back from an evil skull lord. What’s a Sun­day after­noon with­out pre­tend­ing to defeat pre­tend evil?

Miniature Minotaur

This mino­taur was always one of my favorite min­is when I was a kid. It was paint­ed by my friend, Tim M. — who was the best minia­ture painter of any­one I knew then. Every­one always want­ed to trade min­is with Tim; so he seemed to always have a fresh sup­ply of new ones. I know… Con­tin­ue read­ing Minia­ture Minotaur
