You all may remember my previous post about the two mins I have been working on for the young ladies I DM for on Wednesdays. After looking at the previous pictures, I realized that they weren’t doing them justice, really.

How-To DM: Converting Old Modules/Adventures
If there’s an activity that I enjoy as much as I enjoy miniature painting, it is the act of converting old modules.

The best part of thisContinue reading “How-To DM: Converting Old Modules/Adventures”
Miniature Painting Spotlight: Acererak Update
When last we left off, our Acererak mini looked like this: We were quietly drying on a dry cloth. Now let’s assemble this mini like the Avengers!

Quick Painting Update: The Shame Lessens
As most of you may know, I have a number of miniatures that I had begun to paint, but had abandoned for reasons like: “Gah, this isn’t as fun to paint as I’d thought it’d be,” and “This mini sucks. Why did I buy it?” and my personal favorite “I have so many minis…so many…OOH!Continue reading “Quick Painting Update: The Shame Lessens”

Rime of the Frostmaiden: Small Group, Large Deeds
Dear Readers, this week, only three of my players were able to make our Sunday Adventurers League game. As such, this session was much more role-play centered than combat centered.

Where to Put Things
Dear Readers, I am not an organized person. I have to leave clutter around here and there, and my desk is barely usable.

So, here’s some of the projects I have worked on since the Space Marine, using the new techniques for drybrushing that I have learned. Behold! Manshoon!
