This is a uncommon example of me buying a mini with no specific purpose in mind, but when I saw this Long John miniature at Salute, a treasure island sort of idea shaped in my head for Dungeons and Dragons. In the end he became part of Elaine Marley‘s gang alongside Jonny the Pirate in the […]
So … my party has figured out that they can run away from mimics… or so they thought! Not had a chance to field this crazy fast mimic yet, but I will!
Contrary to Grogspar, the Mercenary Troll and the Hill Troll from Reaper, both which I am using as Ogres, the Forest Troll Shaman from North Star is exactly my idea of what a Troll should look like, which is driven from my childhood in the Nordics where trolls just look a certain way. The movie […]
As with the super cool Troll Mercenary Boson Grogspar, I will be using this badass Hill Troll from Reaper as an Ogre or half Ogre as Trolls in Heden Rei, the world we play D&D in, are more feral and more like nordic trolls. I got this troll from my fiancée in a box full […]
While I don’t play Privateer Press games anymore, I still love their minis and some of them have that quirky personality and character I loved about Warhammer 40.000 Rogue Trader Orks and this fantastic Trollkin sailor is a great example of this. Pipe and dynamite strapped to his harpoon… what more do you need? However, […]
When I started my current campaign in the beginning of 2018, the party foiled the Necromancer Varona Stillborn‘s plan to sacrifice a Unicorn to create a Nightmare. For the last half a year, the party have been chasing her and they are nearing a conclusion to that storyline. However, for the conclusion, I needed something […]
Alaris, the Ranger in our current Dungeons and Dragons campaign has reached level 3 and wanted a wolf as a companion as it fits his background story, but in the end opted for something that would feel more friendly and domesticated, so I bought some wolves and painted them as huskies. It should be said […]
Photo credits to all my players. Ellie, Julia, Neil and Sean. Back in February this year (2018) I started playing Dungeons & Dragons again for the first time in 20 years with bunch of people, where all but 1 hadn’t played RPGs before… or dabbled a little bit in school back in the 80s. The […]
When I bought the Dryad Queen from Greebo Games, I also noticed how many amazing undead miniatures they make and I bought these two without really knowing where they would fit in my campaign. Fast forward to now where we are closing in on the first big conclusion of the campaign, it is clear our […]
At the time of making this set, our campaign had mainly taken the adventurers out in the wild. Forrests, dungeons, a small village here and there… you get the idea. But I wanted to switch gear and had two specific type of gaming sessions in mind: First of all make a cerebral mystery type session […]
Following my River gaming board, I returned to a more traditional gaming board: My lava set. However, while this board is similar in shape to my Woodland and my Ice and Snow gaming boards, this board is intended to provide a surface of lava the adventurers really do not want to touch. Hence all the […]
I am playing Dungeons & Dragons with a group of adults, all busy with a wide variety of jobs. As such getting us together is a difficult task and I am lucky to get us all together once a month. But often I am able to get a subset together and when I do so, […]
