DM note: Since this game had to be heavy on finding information, I took inspiration from “Return of the Lazy Dungeon Master” and rather than try to second-guess what our heroes would do, I instead wrote: A list of secrets and truths to be discovered A list of likely places A list of likely NPCs […]
I bought this on a whim back in London back in 2019. Fast forward to now in Copenhagen, I finally got a chance to paint her. I am not a fan of the Stormcast paint jobs. They look shiny and plastic and like toys. Doesn’t fit D&D where I think she would be good as […]
Stuck in the future where all the gods and godlike powers have been displaced by a furious Fey attack using the forest itself, our heroes are working to bring their patrons back. Braxton Silvereyes, an elderly man who helped the players when they first arrived in this future, asked the heroes for help as a […]
Now that we are starting to settle in in Copenhagen, I thought it would be fun to start creating some bigger scenery pieces having been using UDT almost exclusively for last 18 months. And I did have an upcoming D&D session I wanted to run as a small classic dungeon crawl in a temple consisting […]
So… It has come to this! Back in 2017 I wrote up two 1,000 point armies based on the ever-awesome Warhammer 40.000 – Rogue Trader (1st edition wh40k). The first one a Bad Moon warband in memory of the army I used to play. And the second a Harlequin as I’ve always wanted to paint […]
It is amazing what you can get our of some skeleton bits, hot glue, a bit of boredom and some imagination. Really pleased with this pile of bodies and bones. Here’s the final result. Further down are photos of how I did it. How to make your own pile Step 1: Cut some skeleton bits […]
The only Gamezone Miniatures I had up until this point was some mighty fine halbediers, so was great to get some more of their fantastic miniatures. I needed these Dark Elves for a game so I decided to speed paint them and I have to say I am really pleased with the result. The set […]
This is the first time since we left London in July last year that we play with miniatures. Photos by my lovely wife. The party, having had to come to terms with the fact they are 300 years in the future (and have lost their patron given powers), had decided to follow a rumour about […]
While I have this, my hobby site, and while I actively use my miniatures, it is a rare chance to lay out all my minis at once. Really the only time you do this, is when you either do a massive cleaning exercise or you move home. In my case it has been the latter […]
Listening to the ever-awesome Runehammer talking about the value of beginner’s mindset in D&D. Having that awe and wonder, that sense of not expectations of oneself or the game, nothing to prove and that sense of immersion and gravity of the unknown. The chat is almost 2 hours, but it is absolutely worth it if […]
Inspired by this cool terrain tutorial I decided to make a small Underdark terrain set out of cork table protectors, glue and paint. This was fun, fast, easy and different to make. Normally I would never use these colour combos but frankly, crafting this terrain made me reminisce of the days when I was digging […]
It feels like I am getting a good selection of Monster Mamas together by now. Yes, I have female elves, humans, dwarves, halflings etc, but there is something fun about female monsters. Giantkin Mamas Villain Mamas Fairytale and Mythology Mamas Undead Mamas […]
