You haven’t forgotten about International Anklebiter Illustrator Day, right?  It’s tomorrow.  Zak S is hosting it, and I’m participating by submitting a couple of illustrations crayoned by my seven year old daughter.  She submitted the artwork on time, but it won’t be published until tomorrow.  In the meantime, I’ve...

More Pendraken: DN60 – Frost Troll Didn’t think I’d paint these guys blue – figured that shaggy trolls could be any color at all.  But I wanted to test a few figures with straight drybrushing instead of that dark wash.  They look a lot cleaner and brighter.  Still love...

The Pool of Fire has been commandeered by a larger than usual Fire Giant, named whatever you need him to be named, and his three young apprentices.  These black stone caverns have high vaulted ceilings that allow the giants and their phoenix pet plenty of room to stretch.  The...

Let’s take a look at Pendraken’s Troll offerings.  I finally remembered to include a coin for scale – my apologies to those of you who don’t use American currency as a point of reference.  I’ve also included one of Copplestone’s not-Lord of the Rings human characters for scale as...

Today is my wife’s birthday.  That means it’s time for a day off from the blog.  You’ll get more megadungeon goodness tomorrow, though....

Every time a new package comes in the mail, it reminds me of why I love love love working in 10mm.  This load of guys right here cost me about twenty bucks: Twenty-seven figures.  Or I could have had five GW figures.  Good luck stocking a dungeon at those prices....

As promised, here’s the full map of the Borderwilds. This one is for clarity. All of the major land forms are represented on this map, grassland, swamp, forest, mountain, desert, broken hills, rivers and coastline.  This lets us throw anything we want at the players. Risk management is a...

These caves and cold, dank, and unfriendly.  The halls of this level are only 6 feet high, but the cavern roofs vault high above.  The rough and uneven floor is covered by a thin layer of hard scrabble that makes finding your footing tricky.  Not so for the eight...

As things stand I’ve got the megadungeon, one page goblin caves, and the revised Crypt of Laun Phien.  That’s two big and one little dungeon.  Not a bad start, but the players are badgering me about what’s going on between these dungeons.  Luckily, they grew up on a steady diet of...
