The hardest part of world building, at least for me, was always the animals. Intelligent species can be modified to look different with a few tweaks but I have a hard time thinking of other types of possible animals, all bear some similarity to the ones we have in real life. I tried my hand at it nonetheless. … More World Building: Animal Species
This miniature was for a friend’s campaign. He was providing painted miniatures for his players and wanted to surprise them. He sent me some photos of the color scheme he came up with using the Dwarven Forge color setup they released a while ago. It was icy themed with lots of greys, blues and purples. … More Miniature Showcase
The Hand of Destiny spent a couple of weeks at sea on their way to Chult. The days were filled with planning and work aboard the vessel. Hepolita had the challenge of feeding the entire crew, Kariss dealt with a lot of seasickness and other ailments, and Aleera entertained each night to boost morale. Kaladrax and Gralmore conferred over routes to take and preferred landing spot. Each got to experience life at sea and were quite happy for the trip. … More The Scourge of Chult
When I made my world, Ouros, I started out with too much information about stuff that didn’t really matter. I would never write about what size the planet was unless I was writing about a catastrophic even. I planned on a story within the world not encompassing the planet. One of the things I focused too much on was creating new species of humanoid and animal inhabitants. … More World Building: Races and Species
This miniature was for a player at our table. He is playing a female Kenku in our current campaign. Her low self esteem has resulted in a large portion of her feathers falling off, leaving huge patches of bare skin throughout her body. She tries to cover them up by reattaching them with a sap she carries with her. Right now some of the party is trying to come up with solutions so she doesn’t have to glue feathers back on. … More Miniature Showcase
Aleera faced off against the Aaracokra pirate with the last power she was looking for. Once she completed her mission she would be free to ask for her heart’s desire. Her resolution hardened and she prepared for the fight to come. The Aarakocra seemed more concerned with finding a way out. He didn’t appear to be eager to fight. He just wanted to stay out of her grasp. Aleera messaged Kaladrax and Gralmor to bring the ship around and pin the other ship into the makeshift harbor that this pirate hideaway had. … More Dark Storm
There is a lot of stress involved in being a Dungeon Master or Game Master. I see my husband go through the different stages of stress at throughout the day. DM’s have to put together the game, they are usually in charge of making sure everyone can show up, and they balance listening with upholding the rules of the game. There are a few ways to make it easier on the DM and give them some appreciation. … More DM Appreciation is Important
These are the dark Knights that fought on behalf of Null. I wanted a shadowy look to them, as if they could go incorporeal at any moment. So I used a lot of dark colors and shadow wash to create that effect. I started off with a dark blue black, the same color I used on the Null miniature. … More Miniature Showcase
The Hand Of Destiny waited on the dock for their new airship to be lowered. It had taken a bit longer to make because it wasn’t just an airship, it was a ship that could now travel both in water and in the air. The Temple of Inspired Hands lowered their ship into the docking area and invited them aboard to check out their new/old ship. It still looked like a ship but now there were attachments, large crystals, that controlled their ascent and descent in the air. … More Maiden Voyage
The first world I ever worked on. I started with questions and didn’t build a map first. Since I am a big fan of long epic tales with rich history, I decided making a brand new world and building its history up from scratch as the best way to create it. I just began building the world and cities. I name it Ouros. … More My First World
