Hobby Day January 11 2025

 

Cutting boards and cutting machine should anyone need them

 So, we had our first Hobby Day of the new year, quite frankly the first hobby day in quite some time (maybe a few years?) We have another one scheduled for January 25th and hopefully we can have a few more over the rest of the year.

The idea is to have a good time talking and working on projects with each other, offering advice and/or supplies to help us further our gaming goals. I for one really needed the kick in the ass to get going on some projects! It can also be a lonely hobby so sharing some time together, even though we all worked on different projects, makes it a social activity, and more fun.

Vice Alley II Final results are in...

After more than 26 games the campaign has ground to a halt! 

Well that makes it sound worse than it really was, but I do think the campaign pretty much ran it's course. We tried a few new scenarios and played many scenarios from some of the other published campaigns and for the most part they seemed to blend in with the Vice Alley theme. We started with 7 players and picked up one along the way also one of the players switched their league (12th & 50th Precinct) 

There were certainly more L&O leagues than Syndicate leagues but at the start it was only 4 L&O to 3 Syndicates. The new player joined as a L&O side while the 50th replaced the 12th which skews the numbers somewhat

In the end I would have to say the Law & Order now exerts the most influence over the city! 

See below for the final numbers...

The leagues of our current campaign Pulp Alley Vice Alley II

 

So this campaign has been going on long enough that it is  past time that I should be posting up the leagues sheets. Now, most of the leagues maintain a steady roster, but a couple of them do swap characters depending on the scenario and or how the leagues has performed in actual play. That said this post represents the leagues as they have most recently been played. They also reflect the experience advances and reputation and society 'perks' that some leagues have acquired.

We have had 14 games played over 6 sessions. The most games any one player has played is 6, the average is 4 games. We have had the odd blow out, but for the most part the games have been very close.

Anyways without any further ado here are the leagues!

and now a message from an alternative newspaper...

Vice Alley II updated picture of the main gaming table

 

So, these are the most up to date pics of the main table. In the foreground is the newly installed park. So far it is just roughed in. It replaces a cathedral and offers up more options. I will need to add a fence or hedges to surround the park, possibly a path through the park and sidewalks where needed. This will provide an open area in contrast to the dense urban environment of the city proper.

On the eve of the first game of the new campaign, I thought I would post up some pics of the two gaming areas. There are two areas ready to go, the dockyards (above) and merchants row (below)
