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”

Miniature Painting Spotlight

So today my post is going to be about works in progress. I am going to highlight several of the works that I have not finished. At the end I will show you my most recent finished miniature so that you can see something that is done. Our first contestant is an unfinished human druidContinue reading “Miniature Painting Spotlight”

Sunday Adventures: Into Muiral’s Lair

Sorry for the late post! I scheduled the post and forgot to change the time. That said, enjoy! So the party was light this week due to Labor Day, and consisted only of the goliath bloodhunter/sorcerer, the half-elf monk, the goblin ranger , and the tiefling fighter/wizard, all 9th level. 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”

How To: Painting Minis

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. I get that. I really do. If you are notContinue reading “How To: Painting Minis”

Sunday League

Okay, folks, I can’t make this stuff up… Everything started pretty normal, right? They continued from the strange room with the illusionary walls, behind one of which was a secret door that the kenku rogue found. Travelling further, they see a set of stairs going down. Deciding that they had gone far enough and neededContinue reading “Sunday League”

Saturday Home Game

For reference: my Saturday game is my family game. The party, having finish taking care of some bandits trying to steal the Duke’s coin molds capturing the leader, proceeded on to a port city having troubles with an alleged ghost ship. The party, deciding to follow up on this based on the level of rewardContinue reading “Saturday Home Game”

Why I Am the Forever DM

Yeah, that’s me, the Forever DM. I rarely get to play at a table, and that’s okay. Recently, I had a brief conversation with one of my players after our game session: Of course, Bubby is his character. His other character, Vaxis is in my monthly game and has the luck of a lodestone. ButContinue reading “Why I Am the Forever DM”

DM Tip: How to DM

So many a DM has shared their processes and tips for this, so I am going to share my own. Really, it boils down to one thing: run games. Sure it seems that there is more to it than that, but for new and/or aspiring DMs, my biggest “tip” for you is to actually runContinue reading “DM Tip: How to DM”

Tuesday Adult D&D Night

This group is probably the furthest along in any of my campaigns, Sundays aside (mostly because they are tooling around with new characters after finishing Avernus, Lost Laboratory of Kwalish, and then Tomb of Horrors). They are playing a campaign based on some magical items that I found in an old 2e sourcebook on theContinue reading “Tuesday Adult D&D Night”

Miniature Painting

So I said that I will, on occasion, do a post and add a picture of a miniature that I have painted. I have a considerable amount of time on my hands, so doing one or two miniatures a week is not that difficult. In fact, I often sit down and complete an entire miniatureContinue reading “Miniature Painting”

Sunday Adventurers League

So our heroes continue to plumb the depths of Undermountain, the massive dungeon that lies below the Yawning Portal, beneath the city of Waterdeep. Having barely defeating the dreaded Aboleth, our heroes continue on their journey below, coming to the level containing Wyllowwood. After finding a docking port, with an oddly intact rowboat tied up,Continue reading “Sunday Adventurers League”
