When I bought the female Djinn at Brother Vinni’s, I also found this Arabic Fighter on a Flying carpet. Really cool miniature. Was fun to paint. I tried to give him a more middle eastern skin tone. It became a bit light ,but overall I’m happy with him.
The husky of Alarais, our party’s ranger, died in a recent battle against Eletractrax the Blue Dragon. Since the battle took place in the desert, I thought it would be fund for the new wolf to be a desert wolf so I painted up these two from Darksword Miniatures. Since i don’t know much about animals, I paint these from reference photos and I have to say it is a good fun exercise.
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 liked the idea in terms of a smaller, portable set when I play away from home. I also saw Craft Nick’s videos on creating sci-fi terrain and although I don’t play any RPGs in sci-fi settings, I have played a lot of sci-fi tabletop in my time so I really…
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 cool paint jobs of it out there, which makes it a somewhat daunting task to paint… so I left it in the drawer. But when I was looking for this Bluefang Chieftain I stumbled across the Beholder mini and had an idea: What would a blind Beholder be like? I…
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 do think undead is the best race in Dungeons and Dragons. Yes, I love Goblins, but undeads you can get from the very lowest level and all the way up. I think they also offers the greatest variety and there is something elegant about Egyptian themed undead like this Mummy Queen from Reaper miniatures. The Mummy Queen with her kittens
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 paint, but I am really happy with the colours of the result.
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, named Electrax Stormwing. 2 adventurers KOed, 1 failed 4 death saves and we lost our first character and last character, our dragonborn sorcerer standing yielded to the dragon. This was all totally unexpected for me, so I had to come up with a totally unforeseen encounter for the following game…
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 named Electrax Stormwing. However, it provided me with a fantastic challenge: Make next game completely from scratch as nothing I had in mind would fit! Super exciting challenge. I went into planning mode on this with the following brief in mind: Practically, the first encounter in the previous game was…
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. Overall I’ve found these two channels the most useful: Matt Colville’s “Running the Game” Runehammer’s “Key Mechanics” and “Room Design” A lot of people also recommend Matt Mercer’s GM Tips, but I didn’t find them all that useful maybe it is because I do have some experience DMing from the…
In our latest D&D game, and a year and a half into our current campaign, our Drow Rogue, Lady Alfein died, cut down by the Blue Dragon Electrax’ breath. Next game, however, sees the introduction of a new hero to take up the mantle: Miss Valkaria, a Tiefling Rouge. I do think Tieflings are one of my fav races in D&D (next to Dragonborn) and this Demonkin from Darksword Miniatures was great fun to paint. Can’t wait to see what personality she will be in the game.
I am not sure where I got these from. I’ve had them for a while but found them by chance and decided to give them a speed paint job. i really like these and I can se these becoming very useful.
