We pick up the story after our heroes fled the Mindflayer and its army of mindless minions. This was second game running D&D remote. See my guide to how we run remote D&D with terrain and miniatures here. In the abandoned warehouse, the party discussed what to do with the Black Sapphire and decided to […]
As we are facing a global pandemic, I find myself in self-isolation due to the government enforced lockdown. Not only does the lockdown mean we can no longer get together to play our monthly D&D game, which is a shame as the lockdown also means we have more time on our hands to play D&D. […]
I’ve mentioned this before, but Darksword Miniature’s Game of Thrones range is perfect for townsfolk and these two ladies are no different.
At the time of writing this, UK is in lockdown due to the Corana virus. This means that A) we can no longer get together for Dungeons & Dragons and B) we now have enough time to increase the frequency of D&D games! Given I’m an old-school D&D hobbyist, playing online with Roll20 etc has […]
These minis are just great! Really love the Satyr with the bow. Otherworld Miniatures is quickly becoming on of my favourite shops up there with Darksword Miniatures. Was fun to paint too. I tried to give each Satyr a unique skin and fur colour.
I’ve been planning on taking a Short Rest from DMing after running regular games since beginning of 2018 and some of my players have stepped up to DM. Unfortunately we have been hit by the Corona virus lockdown so we’ve had to migrate online for playing and I don’t want put this on my players […]
This is the second Daisy Guard team following the crossbow armed unit. When I saw these I thought they were perfect, but frankly if I had known how long they would take to arrive, I would have found an alternative. Having said that, the minis definitely didn’t disappoint. They are very cool, very diverse and […]
I’ve had this Bathalian Pirate from Reaper Miniatures hidden in my box for ages and finally got around to paint it. First ever Mind Flayer I have painted. Great fun and I’ve ordered some more.
I found these funky tentacles at a Tiger store in London and thought they would be great for tentacles in D&D. I posted it on Twitter and somebody pointed me to this great video on how to make the tentacles. The one thing I would say is: Be careful with the stuff he is fulling […]
Our previous campaign was an epic fantasy campaign taking our heroes across distant lands to save the world. Our current campaign takes place in a single town: Daisygate! Because of the more low-fantasy and urban nature of the new campaign, I’ve had the opportunity to move away from painting monsters and instead painting humans like […]
When it comes to D&D, it is funny how people focus on Chromatic Dragons, undead leader like Liches and Vampires, and Beholders as representation of real evil. For some reason people skip the fey. How bad can a fairy really be after all? But Hags are Fey… and to me Hags are the ultimate evil in that […]
For our Daisygate campaign, we are continuing to use “The A-Team”, the characters from the previous campaign, but since the campaign is folliowing a “West Marches” style format, we have also introduce “The Nightshift”, which is a new group of adventurers offering us more flexibility in terms of inviting guests and frequency of games for […]
