Contract With A Devil

October 29, 2021

Stuck in the bathroom with the party still swinging outside, the party went over their options and found none. They were trapped in the bathroom. Aleera looked around for a moment before a sly smile came over her face. She asked the others to step away from the center of the room and when they were clear she changed, using her necklace, into a robe with multicolored patches on it. With a swift move, she removed one of the patches and dropped in the center of the bathroom.  … More Contract With A Devil

Why Not Split the Party?

October 27, 2021

I understand the extra complications that come with splitting a party, especially for the DM themselves. In our previous campaign we didn’t split up often. Without a strong, beefy frontline, our party couldn’t really afford to move too far away from each other. In our new campaign however, our current party is finding it so useful to split up sometimes. Our new adventure is starting out in a survival based setting that requires preparation and sometimes that means doing two things at once. … More Why Not Split the Party?

Miniature Showcase

I love the way blue Dragons are depicted in the official books and I wanted to recreate that as best as possible. I started with a vibrant blue to cover the majority of the miniature. My husband and Dungeon Master has always loved Dragons and I wanted to put in some extra to make this one look as realistic as possible. … More Miniature Showcase

Crashing the Party

October 20, 2021

When Aleera made it back to the Spectre’s Respite, their home base, she immediately informed the party of the situation and they headed to the government offices to see what they could do. The Magistrate took a quick look at the papers Aleera had brought with her as proof. They included the flyer for the party and the contract signed in the blood of both heads of the family. After a moment’s study, the Magistrate looked down his glasses at them and asked what they wanted him to do. There was magic in the paper of the contract but that could be anything and magic usually was used to preserve important sheets.  … More Crashing the Party

Rules vs. Guidelines

October 13, 2021

If you are reading this then, like many others, you love tabletop games. There are those that love the structure of those games, cleaving to the rules like a lifeline. There are also the rule of cool people that think a game should be flexible when it fits the situation. They are both valid ways of viewing ttrpg’s. I want to argue however, that we should view the “rules” of ttrpg’s as more like guidelines. … More Rules vs. Guidelines

Miniature Showcase

October 6, 2021

This was an especially wonderful miniature to work with. I love ancient Greek mythology and the story of Medusa was always one of my favorites. This miniature shows her among some rubble with the ruins of Grecian pillars around her. Instead of being shows as a cowing monster of the shadows, she appears as a resplendent warrior. … More Miniature Showcase
