My original intention was to just leave my paper minis more or less rectangular, not trimming them down to the shape of whatever creature they depicted. I planned this mainly because I felt it would make them more durable and easier to store – no narrow strips to be easily torn, bent, or tangled in […]

These have worked out well for the most part, but I’m considering going with an alternative for a while to see how that works out. Some of my

I mentioned elsewhere that my family picked up the 5th Edition D&D Starter Set over the holidays, partly because we wanted to diversify into something more fantasy-oriented without me having to go through the effort of creating a whole meta-universe inside of Mighty Protectors to do so (again!) and partly just to take advantage of

The base sheet is of my own design and intended to be simple and compact and is therefore possibly not very pleasant to look at or useful. The official character sheet

Gaming has fallen to the wayside just a little with the holiday season going on (and with me giving in and buying the latest Assassin’s Creed game), but we’ll be getting back into it soon. There will be a little bit of RPG-related loot under the tree this year, too: I’ve given in to the
