Having completed the torso portion of the miniature, the next step was the arm. I used my Bone color paint to cover the main portion of the whip. It looks, very much to me, like the spine of a large creature that this thing uses to rip the limbs from his victims. It came out pretty well with the exception of the seam line that is visible where the end of the whip and the rest of it were attached. … More Miniature Showcase
Snow stretched into the horizon as the group of adventurers and reluctant partners trudged forward. The group walked for hours. They traveled through a long valley, also covered in immaculate, white snow. Ahead was a rise and beyond it a small mountain where the dwarves had been digging. The site of digging was unmistakable. It was marked with a large red splash. It was the remains of the poor dwarf that had fallen to the Yeti’s rampage. … More Ore and Blood
Our Psionic Rogue grew up an outsider. He and his father tried to always blend in but moved around frequently to prevent them from being found out. When his father died, the sense of loneliness became worse and he actively impersonated people. He didn’t really do it for the money, although it helped. He did it for the attention and nurturing he had seen the originals received from their loved ones. … More Secrets
I have now completed the base and legs for this ginormous work in progress project I’m working on. I painted the torso with the same skin tone I used for the legs. I applied some Lich Skin paint as the base color and used a bit of Zombie Flesh paint to dry brush some tone difference into the skin. … More Miniature Showcase
The group of ragged refugees sat down at one of the tables in the inn and ordered some food. They were starving after their arduous trek through the snow. At another table close by sat a group of rowdy dwarves. They were already well under way in their drinking and were talking loudly about a nast set of murders that had been the talk of the town for a while. There had been a string of murders, apparently, the latest of which had occurred in the very town they were in. It had been a huge piece of news as the murdered victim had been a dwarven glass blower. … More Town Problems
For our resident Forge Cleric, Dvalin, we had a nice juicy bit of secret. His story is already fraught with peril as he was chased from his childhood home by his father’s enemies. To learn that you are an heir to something bigger is a huge development. … More Secrets
The base was completed for the second form of the Frostmaiden to sit on. This is the completed miniature. For the main body of the Frostmaiden, I used a frosty bright blue as the base coat and then dry brushed white over the blue to give it an icing over effect. I made it very simple because I really liked the crude effect it gave the miniature. … More Miniature Showcase
We just finished our rough and tumble foray into Icewind Dale and it was an awesome ride. I loved the survival intense story and environment. It has given me a whole new appreciation for those who live in frozen regions. Now that it is over however, we want to do something new. Something unique. A world all of our own building. It is no secret that I love epic stories and the first step is to build a wonderful, detailed map! … More A New World
Zephyr Raventhorn, our bard, had some of the juiciest secrets throughout the entire campaign. These are the first two he started with. I think they show that secrets don’t always have to be life and death. They can be goofy personality traits, embarrassing stories we don’t want people to hear, or even secret crushes that we don’t want revealed. … More Secrets
