It’s been a long time since I’ve updated this. I’ve been BUSY. With the Flames of Orion Kickstarter, Adepticon, Arcane Con, Under the Dice Fest, playing games, writing, work and just regular life. I’ve been trying to stay off social media in attempt to be more productive and get my head right. When I think about it, I really didn’t post what I was working on much. But seeing friends share on their blogs with their write ups, and updates it’s made me want to attempt to use this more.

To keep things simple today I’m just going to upload some photos I’ve captured over this year and a couple words. Under the Dice issue 7 is in progress and has been a joy to work on, but it’s on pause while I finalize the Flames of Orion release. I’m taking submissions for the new BEEF segment. So if you have any beef with the state of gaming, a person, a personality; etc – shoot me an email to UNDERTHEDICE@GMAIL.COM, all submissions can be anonymous.

All photos were taken with my Casio Exilim 7.2mp.

UNDER THE DICE FEST ’25

Above: You can see a collection of photos from Under the Dice Fest ’25. Many people captured the event better than me, this is just what I caught on my camera. The packed room for NEMO. A game of 10 Candles being ran outside by Shane the Blind Man. A large group taking part in the Flames of Orion event. The HEMA guys putting on a demonstration of live combat. A large spread of boards from the Warmaster event. Friends from far away face timing in for the musical performances. The Rusted Demon judges standing with the trophies. Terry announcing the winner (Tanner!) of the Berserker Flail, the grand champion of the Rusted Demon.

BROTHERS OF PROMETHIUM ’24

Above: A collection of photos from the Brothers of Promethium event from August ’24. You can spot the mobile promethium refinery created by Blerz. It was used as a board for the first round of games, as well as the big enemy during the FASTLANDS game in round two. And the chaos that was a 20~ person game of what was essentially inquisitor happening on the space hulk board. Theres some photos from the 4×8′ spacehulk board that I built within about a month and a half’s time – with some help from a few friends (specifically Tyler and Blerz!). You can also see Sams little painting class, and photos from a massive game of OPR Regiments between Brad, Adam & Ian (Undead & Orcs) vs Renzo & myself (Empire).

I have photos of Adepticon but I can’t seem to find them right now. So I will dig those up and post them when I find them.

Thanks for looking,

– Steve
