MEGA POST – My 2019 terrain boards and scatter!

Another year has passed and here are my scenery achievements for 2019. I didn’t do as much as in 2018, but given 2018 was all about getting the basic stuff done, this year was more do whatever is fun! Hard to pick what has been my favourite, but I think it is the combined Dragon’s […]

MEGA POST – My 2019 painted miniatures!

I think I painted about the same amount of miniatures in 2019 as I did in 2018. Rediscovering D&D after 20 year break has really revived my painting hobby. While I have been playing tabletop wargames (stopped around 2010), you tend to stick painting your army from the company that owns the game. With Dungeons […]

Dungeons & Dragons MEGA POST – The games we played in 2019!

December 2019 and we have just finished our 2-year long campaign. Been something like 18 fun games and look forward to new games in 2020. Next year I plan a West Marches style campaign, less epic Hollywood movie trilogy and more nitty gritty local tv series. Here are the games we played in 2019. Dungeons […]

Campaign: War of the Triplets Dungeons and Dragons

Dungeons & Dragons – War of the Triplets, Chapter 11: Facing The Blinded Beholder Jethrolar the Unseeing Eye (aka all good things come to an end)

When I introduced 5 friends, who all but one had little to no experience with any roleplaying game, to Dungeons & Dragons early 2018, almost 2 years ago, I did not expect the oneshot would turn into an almost 2 year long campaign spanning 18 games. And it has been the best of what RPG […]

Dungeons & Dragons – How to use workshop techniques to structure your campaign

I’ve been listening to Mainframe 53 – Binary Agency on the Runehammer Patreon, which I highly recommend you join if you are a Dungeon Master. I agree with Hankerin’s philosophy of only preparing one game session at a time to allow for the players action to influence how the story progresses, but his admission that […]

Dungeons & Dragons – Mob of Dwarven Undead (multiple manufacturers)

I spent quite a long time looking for Dwarven undead and was quite proud of the gang I had painstakingly collected, so when I found the Macrocosm box of dwarven skellies, it was with mixed feelings. However, I still think the gang I’ve collected is a pretty cool team and I painted their bases in […]

Dungeons & Dragons – Blue Dragon (Citadel by Tom Meier 1984)

Back in the late 80s when I started roleplaying games, there wasn’t many stores selling books let alone miniatures. So I was super thrilled when I found this dragon mini in a bookstore. It was essentially the first monster beyond orcs we had to play with. The original one I bought, I destroyed once I […]

Dungeons & Dragons – Ancient Green Dragon Angrislaug, Draiggoch of Eryri (Mierce Miniatures)

I’ve been wanting to paint this fantastic dragon from Mierce Miniatures, but first of all, I really don’t need more dragons especially not an Ancient Dragon, which I think this fits… and second of all it is a bit pricey, but I found it on half price during Black Friday sale, so I couldn’t resist.

Dungeons & Dragons – War of the Triplets, Chapter 10.6: Scout mission

  This was a fun game. Essentially last time we played, these two players had to back out last minute. While we can’t always get everybody together, it is unusual for people to cancel last minute and two did for same game, both with very good reasons. So last minute, I whipped up a spin […]

Dungeons & Dragons – War of the Triplets, Chapter 10.5: Cage of Carnage (How to make an encounter in a different way)

This article was actually originally about how to create a D&D encounter from a different angle, and it still is, but it also became a life saver i our latest campaign game as 2 out of 5 players had to cancel the very last minute. The thing is, we are in the endgame of our […]

Dungeons & Dragons – Dwarf and Goblin Skeletons (Macrocosm Games)

I’ve spent the last year and a half finding dwarven undead… I’ve found 5 minis so far and then I found the Ancient Grudges – Bonefields set from Macrocosm Games that has a ton of Dwarf and Goblin Skellies! Great variety and quality of these little cute minis. I painted them using this speed painting […]
