A few month’s back I saw a youtube video on creating the Ultimate Dungeon Terrain (UDT) – the premise being: Creating terrain for your D&D game shouldn’t be daunting and all you need are a few pieces. Obviously the video is not aimed at craft maniacs like myself but i…
Ok, so I bought this miniature last year simply because it is super cool!… and, I’ve never actually had a Beholder miniature (yes, I do have Bebbie the Bartender Beholder, and I do have a Death Tyrant, buuuut…) However, this is a very popular miniature and there are so many…
Back when I moved to London (summer of 1999) I was a Warhammer 40k player, but moving to London I learned about a bunch of other super interesting scifi tabletop wargames and ended up ditching WH40K (never took to 3rd edition, I prefered the more skirmish nature of 2nd and…
We decided to invite some friends over to try Kingdom Death: Monster and it so happened we would be 5 players so very (VERY) last minute, I glued two extra survivors together and speed painted them. They are nowhere near as cool as the original prologue survivor in neither paintjob…
I don’t paint a lot of miniatures I don’t need for playing. And frankly, painting any of the KDM pinups is a daunting task because A) they are so well made and B) those who tend to paint them are pro or semi-pro painters… in fact I’ve only painted one…
When I saw these I had an immediate sneaky plan! Can’t wait to put it to play. Great simple miniatures. The Kitty Cats with their master

I bought the male Djinn randomly from Zealot Miniatures when I ordered a bunch of terrain as it looked cool. But I am not sure why I later decided to find a female Djinn to complete the couple, but I did at Brother Vinni’s store. Both were quite fast to…
Mice and Mystics is a great board game. period. I love the rules, I love the immersive story and I love the difficulty of the game (no, it is not on the easy side). I finally got around to paint the minis. It has been a quick speed paint with…
Been a while since I’ve created a gaming board set mainly because I have pretty much what I need. However, a recent game went completely sideways in a glorious unexpected way. To make a long story short, our lvl5 party decided to pick a fight with a young blue dragon,…
I won’t lie, the previous game did not go in any shape or form the way I planned and the result was 2 KO’d characters, 1 dead wolf and 1 dead character (first in our so far 18 months long campaign) as a result of fighting a young blue dragon…
When I picked up Dungeons & Dragons (and DMing) again last year after 20 years’ break, there was a surprising amount of great content online. I want to share the things I found most useful for encounter building, roughly in order of how I think they apply to new DMs….
