I painted these as part of a spooky bonfire set of miniature pieces. These are the benches that go around it. There are three full slab benches with skulls on one end. The other two are two small slab piles with a longer slab over the top. Originally, they came in gray resin and I primed them with a white primer to start. … More Miniature Showcase
Zephyr roamed the hallway as he made his way towards the room he had paid for the children to stay in. Most of the doors he walked past were quiet, as if no one resided behind them, but he heard a familiar voice as he rounded the corner. A huffy voice was exclaiming to be allowed to go out. On the other side of the door a flush Nimin was glaring at the taller, older Maxim. With another exclamation that he wouldn’t be told what to do he yanked the door open only to find Zephyr on the other side. … More Yearning for Home
The two campaigns we have had so far have been completely different from each other. Our first campaign was, what I would describe as, an epic. We fought increasingly difficult and grander opponents the culminated in a large full scale battle involving battalions, gods, and wishes. Our second campaign was smaller scale in comparison and more centered on survival. … More Campaign Differences Are Fun
As part of that giant monster project I posted about a few weeks ago there were cultists that came with it. I have a total of six to paint and each one is different from the rest. These are the pieces that go with the amazing glowing green bases I painted a while ago. As I’ve said, this project is huge and has multiple pieces that go with it. … More Miniature Showcase
Zephyr confidently lied to the tavern owner, “I know those children. They are angels! They would not have left their rooms.” His smooth and guileless as he met the eyes of the angry, towering man before him. The owner looked away first, admitting that there was no proof of them having anything to do with the thefts. They were strangers in this land and the most untrustworthy in the eyes of these close knit people. It was also probably true that they had stolen the items in question. … More Building Bonds
We have all seen the amazing dungeons that celebrities and hard core enthusiasts play in. Glimpses of these settings are cool, high tech, or even actual dungeons. I have always wanted my very own dungeon to have awesome adventures in. Sadly, I don’t have a basement to remodel so I looked up ways to make my living room look more like a nerdy D&D haven. … More Upgrading Your Dragon’s Den
I’ve written about how powerful set pieces can be in bringing a touch of reality to a game. I love furniture because it is fairly easy to paint, can look really good, can add dimension to a 3D map. This miniature set is a wooden desk and a wooden chair. They can be used in various settings: offices, libraries, and homes. … More Miniature Showcase
Over the years that I have played D&D I have seen a few session zero’s. The first one we ever had was all of us friends just sitting around trying to figure out how to play. It’s kind of a bumpy start when you’re trying to learn as you play. Since then our session zero’s have evolved and gotten better. … More Session Zero is Super Important
This is installment two in painting beards on miniatures. I have already shown how to make a really old, mostly white beard but I wanted to do something different for this one. I wanted a different hair color and I wanted a more youthful appearance to the beard. The miniatured has a glorious beard so I knew this would be fun to paint. … More Miniature Showcase
The burst of song from the enchanted fish above the door of the tavern was a welcome reprieve from the harsh winter outside. It all seemed to have worked out well but as soon as the owner saw the body slung over Brenna’s shoulder he began shouting protestations. It was the usual hysterical and perfectly reasonable reaction to seeing a dismembered body casually hanging off someone’s shoulder. A string of expletives burst out of the owner’s mouth as he spluttered at them to take the corpse out of his tavern. … More A Loved One Comes Home
