Scouting the Area

 

Vue 9.5 Infinite doesn't recognize my new video card. I can no longer model with it. But its rendering still works.

James Maliszewski Has the Same Thoughts on Space Helmets as I Do

His blog article GROGNARDIA: Have Space Suit – Will Travel mentions on how having space helmets or not can define the hardness of sci-fi.

By the way, Grognardia is back.

The Elder Scrolls 'The Ultimate Journey' - Music Compilation

Some GMs will play Lord of the Rings music while prepping or playing a fantasy adventure game at the table. As for me, I'll play The Elder Scrolls music. Often times, it will bleed into any sci-fi adventure game I'm involved with as well, if I don't have any Total Annihilation or Supreme Commander music around.

Old Apps Still Work

Another Vue Render of my Traveller Free Trader model. Pretty much 100% with no postwork. No reason to upgrade the software, which is ten years old by now. My 3D modeling software is over fifteen years old. No reason to upgrade that either.

Maybe Windows 10.9x will break things though. We will see.

Theater of the Mind is No Excuse to Just Fake It

The topic came up over on therpgsite.com about using minis or using "theater of the mind", especially during combat. For my games, where we use Mongoose Traveller, it's strictly role-playing in our heads only. No maps, no minis, no initiative, no combat rounds. Actions happen in real-time.

Anyway, I've already done videos in the past on this subject. Here's RPGPundit's video on the matter.

Twilight: 2000 Roleplaying in the World War III That Never Was

Free League Publishing has announced a new edition of the classic role-playing game ​Twilight: 2000, in partnership with Game Designers’ Workshop and Amargosa Press. The new edition goes back to the roots of the franchise with a boxed set for sandbox role-playing in the devastation of World War III. It will come to Kickstarter in August, to be released in early 2021.

Mayday! This is the Free Trader Beowulf!...

Here's a render I did yesterday of the Beowulf for this year's Mayday. Every year, the event grows bigger and bigger.

A Slight Grunge Render

My v2 Scout.

I may do some post effects for it later. Often times though, renders look good as-is from the exports.

Updated Starjumper Render

Here's an update on the Starjumper ship design, as specified by Marc Miller. Included is the updated Scout ship.

Some Different Strokes for this Tigress

This one got ran through FotoSketcher.

Blue Tigress

I felt like doing another vertical render. I don't know if I posted this scene before or not. A bit blue, I think.
