Dungeons & Dragons – Gaming board set 13 – Phlegethos – More tiles

I finished my Phlegethos board recently. The idea was to have a lavaboard with floating elements on top. And I was quite happy with it. In the process I decided to add tiles as it would give a hint of semi-civilised world plus both my players and I like tiles for tactical encounters. All good. […]

Dungeons & Dragons – Gaming board set 13 – Phlegethos

Our part ended the last campaign with a big win… but at a cost. One of the heroes paid 19% of her soul to use a Hellfire Cannon and that has opened up for a trip to hell in our next campaign. More specifically, I decided that the party will be exploring (and hopefully surviving) […]

Dungeons & Dragons – Neglected statue for dark corners of the multiverse

Professionally I work in design and if there is one thing I have learned over the years, is that what looks good and how long it takes to make isn’t always associated. This statue is a good example, this is super super easy to make. I used the following items: Winner Trophy from Tiger Marble […]

Dungeons & Dragons – Fey Boss Myrilla (DnDfigurer)

I bought this Fey with a group of other miniatures from dndfigurer.dk with no specific goal in mind. However, when my wife saw me painting it, she called it a “Fey Boss”. So clearly, that is what it will be used for in the future 🙂

Dungeons & Dragons – Snowy Owlbear (D&D Collector’s Series: Icewind Dale)

I already have an Owlbear, but this Snowy Owlbear was too cute not to get. Fun and fast to paint. Nothing more to say than I think it would fit a Christmas oneshot.

Dungeons & Dragons – Santa, Mrs Santa and Krampus (Reaper Miniatures and DnDfigurer)

Yep, it is that time of the year! Time to break out some new Christmas Miniatures. I realised I actually don’t have a proper Santa Claus. I have an Ogre one and a mean Kingdom Death one with am Xmaxe, but not a basic HoHoHo Santa. The best one I found was Santa and Mrs […]

Dungeons & Dragons – A Way Home – Chapter 9 : Battle of Dragonskeep

DM notes: Although I used to play tabletop wargames like Warhammer and Vor the Maelstrom, I have never run mass combat like a castle siege before in Dungeons & Dragons and Professor Dungeon Master’s video on How to Run Mass Combat has provided a fantastic formula to follow. Great way to end this campaign storyline.  […]

This was my first time ever running a war in D&D and yes, true to the quote the first […]

As the Frost Giant swung it’s axe, it went far above the head of the party and they quickly regrouped to mount an attack. Kaari went first sprinting towards the back of the room behind the giant. As she left the others behind, she was hit in the back by an unseen force, but kept […]

Dungeons & Dragons – A Way Home – Chapter 6: The Upside Down Tower of Time

DM Notes: This game is using elements from two published dungeons, one being  “Tower of the Time Wizard” by Andrew Harshman, the other being the Upside-down Tower in Descent to Avernus. Having chased the Abominable Yeti away, our heroes took a breather and looked around in the old ruins that made up part of the […]
