Walkthru a Large Model Railroad | Choo Choo Barn in Strasburg, PA
A quick video from a trip my family took there in the summer of 2022. It's a cool place to visit if you like trains, dioramas, and miniature terrain. There is a lot of crossover between miniature wargaming and model railroading, so I thought my audience would appreciate it.
Strasburg is also home to the Strasburg Railroad, where you can ride real trains, and Pennsylvania Railroad Museum, which are both right down the street from the Choo Choo Barn. If you go there, tell them Attention Span Labs sent you.

Star Wars Miniatures Battles Review and Unboxing
Attention Span Labs strikes back at Disney and overpriced Fantasy Flight Games with a look at the classic West End Games Star Wars Miniatures Battles rules and toy soldiers. I show you some painted 25mm Grenadier minis and 'unbox' (aka open) some pewter minis from 30+ years ago.
SWMB (and the related D6 Star Wars RPG) are fantastic games, much better than MouseWars deserves. This was the first 'adult' wargame I got into over 25 years ago and it stands the test of time. You can download all of the rulebooks for free at the D6 Holocron website: http://d6holocron.com/downloads/wegminiatures.html

On Saturday, July 23, we visited Historicon in Lancaster, PA. New games were added every few hours, and the selection was different every day, so this is only a slice of the hundreds of amazing game tables there. My thanks go out to all of the skilled and dedicated people who make such a complex event possible, especially the many friendly attendees who showed such generosity and patience with my children.

The 42 Year AD&D Campaign | Rick & Jack Stump on the Old School Roleplaying
Interview with Rick and Jack Stump about a 1E AD&D campaign, Seaward, that has been running for 42 years. Also: what is 'psychotronic gaming', why old school RPGs are better than new school, how to convince Zoomers of this fact, the Atlantaverse superhero setting for Champions, what is the best D&D class, and why it's important that torches burn for one hour.

A hodepodge of different wargame and RPG terrain I made over the last few months, including MDF kits from Sarissa Precision and Kromlech, plus scratch built jungle scatter, 3D printed cemetery, Texas windmill, and a small frontier sci-fi building that cost me $82,000. Super-serious.

Halloween Special: Vandy, Vandy | An Appalachian Ghost Story
It's Halloween in Appalachia! Sit down around the fire and listen to one of my favorite ghost stories, "Vandy, Vandy", a story of John the Balladeer (aka Silver John), by Manly Wade Wellman.
There are several minor audio defects in the video, but I didn't have time to correct them with the birth of my daughter. In any case, none of the words are cut off, just a few too-abrupt clip transitions.
