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
Krull is a well established miniature already. One of my friends had bought a painted one a while back and wanted some extra oomph on it to make it more unique. I offered to bring out the runes on the shell and show the writing. … More Miniature Showcase
With Kaladrax now sporting his new hand cannon and the rest of The Hand of Destiny waiting on the ship to be completed, they found themselves with some time on their hands. With the greater goal of outfitting major cities with the large cannons under way, there was time to finish certain things off and prepare for what was to come. … More The Bard Off
I love epic stories. I think that’s why I love playing Dungeons and Dragons. I love long narratives full of adventure and crazy villains. Give me a 20 book series and I will gobble it up in a week or two. So I wanted to try my hand at creating my own world. I wanted to see if I could create a living place where stories and adventures could take place. … More My Forays into World Building
My husband bought these on Etsy, they took forever to get here but we got them. I was pretty excited to tackle this project for our new campaign. I primed all the pieces first and painted them in stages. I started with the base, then the wolves and finally the Frost Maiden herself. … More Miniature Showcase
The Hand of Destiny was about to leave Avernus when something shimmered in the corner of Aleera’s eye. The lake that ran through the cavern that had once been Tiamat’s prison was calling to her. She could see her weakness in the water. Gold. Thousands upon thousands of gold coins called to her from beneath the surface of the water. She began going into the pooling water slipping out of her friend’s hands. … More Temptation and Preparation
It isn’t solely the job of the DM to create an immersive world for their players. They do a lot. Set the scene, provide handouts, and ensure that their words as descriptive enough to paint a picture in our minds. However, we as players can also do a lot to help us get closer to our characters and the story. … More Self Immersion
