“No plan of operations extends with any certainty beyond the first contact with the main hostile force.” Field Marshal Helmuth Karl Bernhard Graf von Moltke, Chief of Staff of the Prussian General Staff from 1857 to 1871. This was my first time ever running a war in D&D and yes, true to the quote the first […]
As the Frost Giant swung it’s axe, it went far above the head of the party and they quickly regrouped to mount an attack. Kaari went first sprinting towards the back of the room behind the giant. As she left the others behind, she was hit in the back by an unseen force, but kept […]
DM Notes: This game is using elements from two published dungeons, one being “Tower of the Time Wizard” by Andrew Harshman, the other being the Upside-down Tower in Descent to Avernus. Having chased the Abominable Yeti away, our heroes took a breather and looked around in the old ruins that made up part of the […]
Having befriended the Kolbolds and their ruler, the young dragon Desero the Dazzling, the party took a well earned rest in the Sanguine Well oasis. The following day, the party tried to convince Desero to help them in the fast approaching battle with the Drow, but Desero explained that such an act needed to be […]
Inspired by Black Magic Craft’s Skull Stones, I found a cheap halloween skeleton in the local supermarket and I got the idea to turn it into the fossilised remains of a long lost race of Titans, who gave the name to “Titan Heights” the central mountain range in our current campaign. I tried to make […]
In 1987 I started playing roleplaying games and my brother and I also started painting miniatures around that time (being 13-14 and 9-10). you can see minis we painted here, but one Orc mini, I decided to paint only half of. The idea was to paint the other half when I got better. I forgot […]
It’s been almost exactly a year and a half since I last painted a Kingdom Death: Monster miniature with all the moving between countries and ofcourse my painting time being used up by painting the miniatures I need to run Dungeons & Dragons. But I finally got around to paint the Vignette of Death: White […]
These speedpainted Drow are the second half of these Crossbow wielding ladies I decided to paint their army with metal instead of gold and their outfits more blue / cyan instead of purple. I used contrast paints for the edges, but unfortunately spilled half of it. Not to waste it, I decided to paint all […]
This is a mixed back of mushroom related creatures all speed painted using a mixed technique of primed bone, contrast paints and some red and white dots for mushrooms. These little fairytale like mushroom people are from Northumbrian Tin Soldier and actually fit perfectly, the Campestris from Light beyond the Witchlight. The rest of the […]
I actually painted these little dudes a while back and even fielded them in a game, so I am not sure how I forgot to take photos and upload them, but here they are! They are super fun to play with. Especially the Gazers!
As we started our new campaign, the player with the Dwarven Paladin found a pretty rad Dwarf mini. I am still quite sceptical about 3D printed minis, but I have to say this Dwarven Cleric is the best I have seen to date! Was super fun to paint and I feel it has turned into […]
DM notes: I was asking my wife, one of my players, what to call this chapter and she suggested “smart choices” as the party actually managed to go through the whole game with minimal (and only absolutely necessary) combat. I only realised that at the end when she pointed it out. I was totally blown […]
