2025 in the Game Room
We're at the start of a new year, so it's a good time to look back at how 2025 went for me and Scott's Game Room. This post will look back both at my hobby time last year and take a behind-the-scenes look at the financials of the site. Games Played I kept a journal of tabletop games that I played throughout the year.

Some thoughts on how scoring of Southern Assault works
#BattleTech
loading . . .
Tournament Scoring
In my post and video about Southern Assault 2025, I talked a bit about being disappointed with apparent unevenness in the paint scoring. I don't think my own paint score reflected what my miniatures should have gotten on the published rubric, and I know a few other people in similar situations. In some conversations sparked by that, I've seen some players advocate for removing paint scores from the tournament's scores altogether with a painting competition as a separate event.

âMech Manual: Shockwave SKW-4G
The SKW-4G was the first variant for the Shockwave SKW-2F. Earthwerks-FWL introduced it just one year after the initial production model, but its adoption was slow due to the experimental laser technology that it used. Despite the slower initial adoption, the SKW-4G has proliferated to just as many militaries as the SKW-2F. If you're at the Supporter tier on Patreon, you can read about the Shockwave SKW-4G here:

The Shockwave SKW-2F entered production at Earthwerks-FWL in the Marik-Stewart Commonwealth just a couple of years after the end of the Word of Blake Jihad. While many of the Shockwaves produced bolstered the military of the newly independent Marik-Stewart Commonwealth, it was also offered on the open market in order to bolster the regional economy as militaries across the Inner Sphere rushed to rebuild after the destruction of the previous decade.

Southern Assault 2025
I had a good time at Southern Assault 2025 last month. This year it had expanded from a two-day Alpha Strike tournament to a four-day mini convention with the Alpha Strike tournament, a BattleTech tournament, and more. I originally planned to play in both the Alpha Strike and BattleTech tournaments, but a conflict with work meant that I'd only be able to do the Alpha Strike tournament this year.

Off to Southern Assault
This weekend I'll be heading to Clemmons, North Carolina for Southern Assault 2025. I'll be playing in the Alpha Strike tournament, but due to a work trip, I won't be able to stick around for Monday's BattleTech tournament. When I first started thinking about my list for the tournament, I had an idea for a theme: MechCommander. It is one of my favorite computer game representations of BattleTech, and I played it a ton back when it came out.

A look at the color-coded dice used for Leviathans: the Great War
#Leviathans
loading . . .
Dice in Leviathans
Leviathans: The Great War makes use of custom dice. These dice are all dodecahedrons (twelve-sided polyhedrals), but their faces are each numbered differently. In order to tell them apart, they are color-coded. They range from a dGreen (1-4) up through a dBlack (1-12). The dice approximate a standard set of polyhedral dice, but, because 12 doesn't divide cleanly by 8 or 10, they are not exactly the same as normal polyhedral dice.
