DM Notes: As I mentioned in the previous chapter, I ended up removing all three characters from existence … and leaving myself in a weird spot for continuing the story. Bottomline was a rule that there was a 50/50 chance of each character leaving the Crystalline Retreat being a double of the original character with the […]
The party had received a delivery task by a man calling himself Basavaraj, a name the party know to be the name of the Info-merchant. However, the delivery task was not a simple one: Deliver a small box to non other than Fierna, the short-tempered co-ruler of Phlegethos. Our heroes first instinct was to bring […]
I’ve had these Shard Striders laying around for a while now. They were intended for a D&D oneshot I have yet to get a chance to run. However, I had this idea of a Mirror Room encounter for D&D and decided to use these two as Mirror Golems. To give them the chrome mirror effect, […]
I bought these menacing miniatures to be some kind of guards in hell for our current Phlegethos campaign. Originally I wanted to do the obvious and paint them in dirty white crusader colours, but I changed my mind and painted them much darker in blood red garments. I am happy I made this choice. I […]
After another quite night and another nice breakfast as the Brothers Deville, our heroes, The Hellbenders, headed out to find this illusive “Info-merchant” character who might be able to help them find out more about the power in the shadows backing their prey Hammelthal. Unfortunately, the brothers had been unable to help, so the part […]
Having found shelter at the Brothers Deville, the heroes were retiring for the night. Kaari feeling uneasy about being back in hell, decided to sneak out of her room and keep watch for the night hidden behind som debris. Thorga had a brief chat with one of the brothers Deville to see if they could […]
When I made my Gaming board set 13, it was meant for the violent wasteland of the 4th layer of hell: Phelegethos. But as I have learned more about Phlegethos, and especially the capital Abriymoch, I’ve realised I have a need for terrain that feels more … constructed, more like an actual city, but in […]
By chance I found out about the Rising Sun board game and really like the oriental themed miniatures. I bought the game knowing I might never play it, but the minis I will find a way tyo use in D&D. The first one I’ve finished is this impressive Oni of War. Fun to paint and […]
I think the Harengon race is a neat addition to the Feywild Realm and I found this cool Harefolk Rogue that is perfect. I decided not to paint here in what I think would be most people’s first choice: Green and nature colours. Instead I went for a more fantasy urban civilisation look and I […]
DM notes: While this campaign follows from our Troll Hunt campaign, it has close ties with A Date with the Devil, a previous campaign in the same location. DM practical note: This game was all theatre of the mind. Having stopped the Troll incursion on Mountainhold, our heroes the Hellbenders were offered to stay with the […]
I don’t remember when I bought this miniature (or if I did or my wife did), but it was before we moved to Denmark in 2020. Nor do I remember the maker or when I started painting it! I do remember having a moment where I grabbed a bunch of minis of all races and […]
I actually bought this fantastic Forest Troll back in 2018 together with this Troll Shaman. I really love both these miniatures. They feel so much like fantasy versions of the classic Scandinavian folklore trolls. I did start painting the miniature last year to fit our Troll Hunt campaign, but other miniatures got in the way.
