AdventureCo – Squishy Pancakes

Scopique February 11, 2021

GM’s Log, Stardate 98712.94. Angstrom Base has been compromised by what appears to be a newly discovered and invasive species. Initial analysis indicates that this single-celled parasite is not native to Dran’Ankos, though its presence has devastated this research post. The Away…

Waiting for the Next Big Thing Might Not Be The Issue

Scopique February 9, 2021

I read an article at PCGamer entitled “I’m tired of waiting for the next big MMO” and it hit me hard because in reading the article I realized that the man the author was talking about used to be me. I used…

AdventureCo – These Are The Voyages of the Starship Edmund Fitzgerald

Scopique February 4, 2021

GM’s Log, Stardate 98608.9. We have been patrolling the Cardassian Demilitarized Zone for several weeks now with no incidents to speak of. We have, however, gained a shadow in the form of two Galor-class cruisers on the Cardassian side of the divide.…

Hey, HOSAS – Hands On Stick and Stick for Space Sims

Scopique January 31, 2021

I’ve been meting this out on Twitter, but I am at a point now where this subject deserves it’s own post. Last week — on my birthday, no less — my trusty Saitek/Logitech X-52Pro died. I had just reinstalled Elite Dangerous, as…

AdventureCo – Learning to Crawl

Scopique January 21, 2021

Last night we had a kind of “session 0”, since the previous week is what I’m calling “session -1”. This week the crew translated their online-generated characters into Roll20 character sheets but the output of the character generation site did a lot…

AdventureCo – Boldly Going

Scopique January 14, 2021

Last night we had our “session -1” to hash out a few pre-session 0 things. We hadn’t formally opted for a game system, for one. Call of Cthulhu was the initial front-runner (with a solid vote of 1, and a “sounds good”…

Once More Once More Once More Into The Breach – AdventureCo(tm) Reborn

Scopique January 4, 2021

AdventureCo(tm) Brand Adventuring Company is like Menudo — same name, whole new line up of people every time you blink. The name was originally coined for our Hoard of the Dragon Queen-slash-Rise of Tiamat campaign, and was then reapplied with a new…

Surface Tension – The Search For A New Desk

Scopique January 4, 2021

Everything is cyclical, especially for me, and this time around I’m back to thinking about desks. I wanted to reference a previous post I made about building my own computer desk, but I honestly cannot find that post. I have a post…

How It Should Have Been – Assassin’s Creed Valhalla, Cyberpunk 2077, and the Mash-Up I Want to See

Scopique December 31, 2020

For the longest time I’d been shying away from open world games because I have been spending less time playing games these days and the idea of starting something so monumental would have been an exercise in masochism. As fate would have…

Raccoon Lagoon VR

Scopique December 28, 2020

Several Wombats received the gift of an Oculus 2 this Christmas this year, and there was talk of a game called Raccoon Lagoon that is an Oculus Store exclusive. As a mix between Stardew Valley and Animal Crossing, the player’s job is…
