Nightmare of the Lost: Part 7

Two burly fighters came barreling at them at a much greater speed than the past undead encountered. BaRuhk scanned the tree line around for the archer and found her high in the branches of a far off tree. She had a longbow with plenty of reach. They noticed the rogue when he darted out of the shadows and tried to stab Missy. She danced away, out of his reach and laughed as if this were a simple outing in town.  … More Nightmare of the Lost: Part 7

Throughout our last campaign, which lasted for three and a half years, we had some amazing villains that blindsided us with their potential for destruction and revenge. This is not including some of the gods and higher entities we dealt with like dragons and djinn. They all had unique motivations for their actions and, for many, you could see the hard decision they made that got them to where they ended up. When painting these miniature, I tried to embody their personalities in them as much as possible. … More Miniature Showcase

Shadows of Death

Dropping out of the portal to the Shadow Fell was rough to say the least. The Hand of Destiny landed on smooth stone tile about twenty feet from the floor and took some damage from the fall. They recuperated as best they could and looked around at where they had landed. It definitely looked like the Shadow Fell. It was oppressively dark and gloomy.

Nightmare of the Lost: Part 6

The group of adventurers made their way back across the land, back to the scene of such horrific madness. For BaRuhk and Sukra, it was a return to the betrayal and loss they had suffered. For Brick, a constant reminder of his own cowardice. Ramiel focused on the task ahead, savoring the cleansing he would bring to the land. Missy was the only bright point in the journey. Constantly smiling and making jokes, she lifted the morass of negativity that lay over them like a heavy blanket.  … More Nightmare of the Lost: Part 6

Storm of Bones

The next morning Kariss asked Aleera to look in on Gralmor and his mission to bring the last Yuan-ti refugees to Novos from Chult. After a quick breakfast, Aleera took out Elior’s Deck and began to shuffle through, thinking about Gralmor aboard their ship. Most of the time, the cards were just cards. They usually presented symbolic pictures of the future on the cards that they had to figure out before acting. This time the cards had no symbols and a vision rammed into Aleera’s consciousness.  … More Storm of Bones

They had waited for no more than a day when their next volunteer appeared. He introduced himself as Ramiel. He was a member of a large religious organization. As the assassin of his order, it lay to him to deal with any evil he encountered. He was tasked with making sure that any threats to life and their order be eliminated before they could pose a lethal threat.

I’ve already written about some set pieces that add a great ambiance and reality games. Where campgrounds was the last focus of the article, this is about furniture and items. I bought a bunch of furniture from my local game shop to paint. There are: a podium and book, a cauldron, and a basin for water or other liquids. I am going to go through their paint process and the end product will show you how awesome it can be to use painted miniature set pieces. … More Miniature Showcase

The Fey Elves of Novos

Kaladrax was still reeling with grief when they arrived back at King’s Crest. With Marx’s death still fresh in his mind, he went about packing and preparing for battle against Null. He wanted to leave now but the others convinced him that they needed more time to prepare and that there was another powerful danger to the world they had to look into, The Queen of Ash. She was getting stronger and stronger while they fixed all the small problems she sent at them.  … More The Fey Elves of Novos
