Most adventurers die having chosen a life of seeking fame and fortune. Some become powerful kings, queens and even gods. But a few adventurers simply live a long, successful life gathering some riches and some renown and by and large stay out of serious harm’s way. These few individuals retire living the remainder of their […]
This year my miniature hobby got distracted by me “inheriting” my (and my siblings) old Lego bricks as the kids in the family are too old to play with them. This has kicked of a year of rebuilding old Lego sets and creating custom sets including a full Lego Christmas set up. But I did […]
Having wrecked revenge on their arch-enemy Hammelthal and freed the soul of his victim Seipora, our heroes had only had one last thing to complete. They had learned that Basavaraj, the owner of the Burning Spice Tea Room, was the hidden threat to Belial lurking in his own city. What was unclear was whether Basavaraj […]
So… my LEGO Retro Winter MOC is complete! I will add additional elements from the LEGO advent calendar as I open the lips, but here is the LEGO Retro Winter Village as it is. This was super fun project. I’ve used some of the old LEGO sets I’ve spend the year recreating from my siblings […]
As mentioned in my previous winter moc post, I want a Lego winter village, but I don’t want to pay for it. So I am building one using existing retro sets I have from my childhood. However, I did find a cheap set 21058: Great Pyramid of Giza, which I bought to get all the […]
I was never really happy with my Space Classic MOC: Laboratory and Recreational Facilities. I really liked the interior but it felt very boxy on the outside. So I took it apart and rebuilt it and in the process I also decided to clean up my Space Classic shelves, built three 918: Space Transports and […]
I like the LEGO Winter range but somehow buying them seems like a waste of money as they would only be on display during Christmas. So instead, I decided to make my own using only bricks I already had. I decided to use half of my 376: Town House with Garden from 1978 and I […]
I saw a video about the Slapchop painting technique on Youtube and it made me think about back when I played IK Warmachine in the early 2000s and how this technique would have allowed me to paint my Cryx much faster. I do think the Cryx I painted back then are better, but to put […]
I bought the Rising Sun board game as I wanted to add some oriental type monsters as muscle for my Rakshasa boss. I painted the Oni of War as the first one, and now I got a chance to paint the other three just in time for our D&D party to face them in an […]
DM note, this is our game number 30 with the Hellbenders. “Hello? You in here?”, The party hidden listen to Hammelthal’s voice for the first time since his mockery after having killed Seipora in the tunnel. But they held their action believing he was talking to somebody else. “Mr. B? I’m here.” No reply. The […]
DM notes, all previous campaigns since I started DMing again in 2017 have been my own settings but with a “backbone” in Forgotten Realms. This was my first attempt to actively break into another D&D setting: Dragonlance. Belspira, the Tiefling Wizard and owner of “Revered Relics“, Horkum, the Dwarven Monk and Chef at “Munch & […]
Just played a new D&D oneshot… maybe campaign… with some from our old D&D gang in London. It made me think about the parties we have had so far: The A-Team (name came after we started a second party called “The Nightshift”) Nightshift Hellbenders Double Trouble Dawnstar team (not named yet)
