So, Liz and I took a week off, and a bunch of the old crew from college came up to escape for a bit. There were massive quantities of beer consumed (homebrew Noisy Wingnut Steam Hefeweizen, and Cream Ale), good food, good friends, lots of gaming. One of the things which consistently impresses me about [...]

Kind of a lazy about the house weekend, but with us, that doesn’t mean nonproductive: Got the oil changed on my car, the inspection sticker affixed, and some misc detail repair (the 1 to 4 power adapter is remounted, etc.).

So, Liz and I attended Templecon two weeks ago. It was a mixed bag. Full details behind the cut..

I hope everyone had a nice Thanksgiving and got plenty to eat. AB’s brined turkey recipe is quite good. The turkey was wonderfully seasoned and juicy. His cranberry sauce, not so much. It’s okay, but the Ocean Spray canned stuff is better. To go with it, we had stuffing doctored up with mushrooms and apples, [...]

Been busy. Got about 30lbs of potatoes this year, made a couple quarts of hot sauce, made lots of beer, visited my folks, hit my buddy Mike’s halloween party, stuff like that. We bought a stove. Gas. Current stove is electric. Now I need to run/arrange to have run LP gas lines, get a tank, [...]

Liz and I grabbed the Warmachine MKII quickstart rules and gave it a go with some proxy miniatures. The basic mechanics are very simple – anyone who is used to allocating command points and standard movement/line of sight/etc. type rules will be used to it. The use of preprinted cards for each unit (they apparently [...]

I thought I was doing well until my wife shot my Awesome in the head with an AC/20.
