Hope you enjoyed yesterday’s post! Today’s post is going to highlight a few different minis that I’ve done recently. Why is this one deathly-pallor gray? Well, once I get a pot of paint that shows that he is bloody around the mouth, he’s going to be a vampire. One look at his clothes, and IContinue reading “Mini-Painting Spotlight 10/6/2020”

Hello! I know, again, my posting schedule has previously been erratic. I posting schedule will be more consistent at this point, now that the new season has begun and things have settled down.

Uhg.
It’s been a tough week, folks. Not gonna lie. That said, I did get some downtime and finished painting one mini and began/finished another.

Mini Painting Update
Still really busy preparing for Rime of the Frost Maiden! That said, here is the progress I’ve made on some of my projects. And here are some my sons are working on: Hope you enjoyed!
More Prequel from Tuesday
The party headed off to Waterdeep in search of a scholar to translate the mysterious Netherese inscription. Arriving in town, the party headed to the Yawning Portal to get a place to stay and a place to have as a home base. They got a large adventurers room to save on coin. Heading into theContinue reading “More Prequel from Tuesday”
Posting Schedule
So I know my posting schedule has been a little… Erratic. I understand that some of you may be wondering if my blog is going to continue. The short answer is that it is. With that let me explain.

Monthly Group: Birthday One-Shot
In honor of the birthday of one of our number, our group changed it up and one of the players DM while the rest played. Having adventure together for quite a while, The adventuring party decided it was time for a break and a vacation. Deciding to head for the coast, we ignored multiple callsContinue reading “Monthly Group: Birthday One-Shot”
Mini-Painting
So frankly, I didn’t get a whole lot accomplished this week. Sue me it’s been a busy week. That said, I did get a couple of notable miniatures finished painted. As you all may remember I had to deal with this monstrosity: Well, I finished him. Here he is: There he is. On another note,Continue reading “Mini-Painting”
Sunday League: What the Devil?
The party continued through the dwarven tomb, easily handling the flying crystalline battle axes. They eventually came to the actual tomb, and were mentally accosted by an Entity known as Abidos, who promised help in exchange for its freedom. The party declined, and figured out the puzzle, with the (believed to be) demon trapped inContinue reading “Sunday League: What the Devil?”
Rare Times I Have Gotten to Play
So last time I told the story of how I am the “Forever” DM. which is mostly true. I have had sometimes where I’ve been allowed to play on rare occasions. They were really only a few times in recent history when I’ve been able to play instead of running a game: one time duringContinue reading “Rare Times I Have Gotten to Play”
How to DM: Encounter Building
This week’s How to DM, we are looking at building encounters. Last week, we talked about Adventure Planning, where we decided what sorts of encounters the party would face while getting to their goal. I break encounters up into four categories: Monsters Role-playing/NPCs Puzzle-solving Traps Sure, there are other kinds, but in my opinion, allContinue reading “How to DM: Encounter Building”
Tuesday Game: Object of Desire
I was exhausted coming home last night from my normal game so I didn’t write this until today. Sue me. So the when I last ended, the party were slaves and were heading for the slave market. Unfortunately, I had decided that I shouldn’t have done that and was considering a Deus Ex Machina. ToContinue reading “Tuesday Game: Object of Desire”

Sunday Adventures: Into Muiral’s Lair
Sorry for the late post! I scheduled the post and forgot to change the time. That said, enjoy!

Heading now to the nextContinue reading “Sunday Adventures: Into Muiral’s Lair”
How To: Miniature Painting
So this week I had time to paint only two miniatures. The one we’re going to discuss today is Robin Hood. The last time we discussed painting miniatures, my advice was just a pain miniatures despite how good or not so good You are skills may be. Today we’re going to discuss the tools ofContinue reading “How To: Miniature Painting”
Tuesday, the Prequel
So I’ve decided to do a slightly more detailed recap of my Tuesday game, as much of it won’t make sense on why they are doing what they are doing. The party began the standard Mines of Phandelvin questline, eventually going to Old Owl Well to deal with rumors of undead. Of course, for anyContinue reading “Tuesday, the Prequel”
How to DM: Adventure Writing
Last time, I wrote about running games as the best way to learn how to DM. And while that is true, you will eventually want to turn one of your cool ideas into an adventure or an ongoing campaign. Let me clarify some definitions for you: Adventure: a one or more session story with aContinue reading “How to DM: Adventure Writing”
The Tuesday Chacters
Due to a family emergency, I was unable to run my table as normal this week, so I have an alternative post. Enjoy! I’ve realized that I’ve done a considerable amount of describing this and that without talking about the individual players. This is mostly on purpose, as I value my players’ privacy. That said,Continue reading “The Tuesday Chacters”

Before I begin, I want to say that I know, for some of you, the idea of taking the blank canvas of a miniature, and turning it into some sort of amazing piece of gamecraft that you are proud of is a truly daunting task.
