I had hoped to have a good bit more terrain ready in time for the Thundertree dragon encounter, but it seems I was overly ambitious on the time frame. One of the in-progress projects that wasn’t done in time was a hill to lay out on my big grass-lined board, for the dragon’s tower and […]
The Hills are Alive! (Okay, maybe just one hill.) Read More »
In the aftermath of our Thundertree dragon fight session, the characters were still in the town, sleeping in the local druid’s residence to recover from the battle. In our most recent session, the expectation was that they’d travel back to Phandelver, then make their way to the Wave Echo Cave mine to being the last

Usually I don’t make separate posts about in-progress projects, but I’m making an exception in this case because some parts of the project are done, and others are in a sort of limbo state waiting for me to decide what to do with them… so this seems like a good point to pause and post

In my post about my modular tower system, I mentioned that I still needed to build a way for each level of a structure to be accessed from above and below. This is more of a challenge than it would seem at first glance. How can I achieve maximum flexibility and modularity, without having to
With the Thundertree dragon encounter coming up in my D&D campaign, I really wanted to have some terrain ready to make it more visually interesting. I figured the tower and its adjoining building would be great centerpieces for the session. But, in keeping with my desire to make everything re-usable, just building a single structure
After a few busy weekends where we weren’t able to squeeze in a game session, we got back to our campaign this weekend with a return to the ruined town of Thundertree to confront the young green dragon, Venomfang. When the party first ventured into town they managed to avoid the attentions of the dragon

Next up in my outdoor terrain projects was a series of dirt roads and trails. I wanted to be able to depict the wide and well-traveled, the narrow path through the forest, and something in between. A set of 1″, 2″, and 3″ pieces seemed like they’d cover the requirements. For many of my projects
Roads? Where we’re going, we don’t – er, yeah, actually roads would be helpful Read More »
With a starter collection of dungeon tiles and a few passable doors completed, I decided to move on to trying my hand at some outdoor scenery. I wanted to continue with the concept of making terrain in a way that’s flexible and modular, rather than making fixed layouts. I want re-usability, and I’m willing to

It’s been a few weeks since our last MP session, mainly because I’ve been sitting on a number of new characters and bits of storyline I’ve been wanting to introduce, unsure of how to weave them together. This chapter represents my attempt to jump right in and get the story moving again even if I’m

Invisigoth is a mutant who can fly (a little) and turn invisible… but her most formidable power is a vampiric touch that temporarily siphons physical characteristics from its target into herself – making her faster, stronger, and tougher with each touch. As of the end of her first appearance in Chapter 13, the D-Listers know
