I look back at this picture, and for me, it represents the peak of my X-Wing experiences. This was right before the game transitioned to its second edition, and as you can see, I was fully immersed in it. The event was called "40,000 Credits," and it was a high-energy, imaginative scenario centered around a crash site in an asteroid field. The goal? Navigate through the field, avoid intense Imperial and Rebel skirmishes, and secure as much loot as possible over six rounds.

The premise was simp...

So we did our dress rehearsal yesterday and I think that things are coming along well. I have pictures of it here. We went through it and things went pretty smooth. There was nothing huge that needed to be changed on the scenario rules. 

At this point there are a few thing that need to be completed prior to KublaCon.

1. Need to finish painting 
2. Need to finish the Frigate
3. Maybe make some more cave terrain
4. Maybe make some more debris
5. Put together a checklist and make sure that everything is packed.
6. Make ...

Turrets
Due to the recycling nature of the scenario. I added a rule that if a turret gets damaged it can attempt to repair. The turrets are only two hull points with no shield so they were getting taken out pretty easily. So the solution is that at the beginning of the turn for each point of damage the have a red dice i...

Spent a lot of the last couple of days putting the Customs Frigate together. Need to balance it out. It feels like it is nice a solid and structurally sound. Here are some pictures:

Also I updated the description of my event with some rules. Here is the link to it

38 Days and counting……..

The clock continues to count down and we are still making progress. Last night I spent a lot of time making more debris pieces.

I also spent a lot of time adding greblies to the engines.

Been trying to get in a little work here and there for the KC 2017 Event. The past weekend was one of great progress. I started to get into a groove on a bunch of stuff. It got to kind of a critical mass where the momentum of it start to take over.

Quite a bit of progress happened on the Customs Frigate over the weekend. I got the command section nearly completed. However the thing that is going to be the challenge is going to be the structural portion of it. I ran a single spar through it ...

I think that I have the scenario mapped out. Will need to get a reality check from My Co-GM's in the next couple of days. Here is what has been created so far:

• A framework for the scenario special rules has been set
• The NPC Rebel and Imperial Forces 
• Generic Lists for Scum Players
• Generic Lists for Imperial Players
• Generic Lists for Rebel Players

Working on putting together the new event for Kublacon 2017. Today I submitted the event for this year. I am shooting to have something bigger and better than last year. It is shaping up to be pretty spectacular. Well that might be over stating it. So here is a teaser for something that I am working on for it
:

There is an ARC-170 for size reference.

So I had to cancel my playtest over the weekend due to lack of people. Was not a huge issue. I spent Friday night cleaning and putting away all of the things that I do not need.

One of the other things that came up on Friday was that I got my table assignment for KublaCon. I am at table 28 in the Regency Ballroom.

I didn’t get too much time to do much else this weekend.

It is the Thursday before the big playtest and I feel like there is so much still to do with very little time to do it.

At this point I have to stop work on the Frigate and use it as is for the playtest. Here is where it stands right now:

I need to construct the stand for it. (It is not going to be any good if I can’t put it on the table) I have a stat sheet and damage chart for it so it is playable.  The big challenge that everyone keeps asking is how I am going to transport it. I have ...

So last night my daughter and I spent a lot of time talking about things that happen in high school while we gesso’ed the frigate. There are still a few other things the need to be done. At This point they are not limited to:

• ·         Building the Engines
  
• ·         Finishing the Bridge
  
• ·         Finish detailing the hull
  
• ·         Building the docking bay
  
• ·         Build the Stand
  

Here are some pictures of how it looks today:

Also yesterday I spent some time working on the scen...

One of the big issues that I've had at larger scenarios is trying to figure out how much damage a particular ship has taken. With 10 or more people at a table they can get quite confusing to figure out how many times a Tie fighter has been hit. It leads to extra questions that don't really need to happen and drags the game down. Additionally it will tend to slow down the scenario.

That being said my solution to this problem was to make little name tents that show the ship the Pilot skill the...

Spent some time cleaning up the work bench last night. I started work on the bridge of the ship. I made some decent progress on it but there is still work to do on it. It is one of the focal points of the ship and I want it to look good. I spent a little time applying gesso to the ship as well to seal the foam core. Here is where I left it last night.

The Following Picture gives you an idea of the scale:



Spent a little time last night working on the table cards as well. I am about halfway thr...

Been meaning to post something, anything here for the last couple days weeks months years. So finally after the long wait I finally got around to it. 
Been spending lots of time recently working on my X-wing scenario for KublaCon at the end of the month and there has been significant progress. I have a rough outline of the forces that I am going to use. The frigate that is the centerpiece of the event is coming along nicely and I am tweaking the scenario itself. I will be doing a playtest of t...
