Carving Out the Dungeons

Remember that sweet map by Dyson I showed you yesterday? Here it is again, marked up and ready for some serious analysis.  It really is an elegant design with all sorts of architectural features that work in favor of treating it as multiple dungeons. First off, notice that big red...

Happy Birthday Alex!

This post is brought to you by my son’s 13th birthday.  Everything I’m doing here, I’m doing in preparation for his party in which he and a party of friends will enter a dungeon…and they’ll do it old school. The last decade or so has witnessed countless attempts by...

Dungeon Glamershots

Now that we’re elbow deep int the 10mm dungeon project, I thought it might be nice to step back and take a look at the table in all it’s glory.  These are composed glamer shots in the true meaning of the word glamer – this is the illusion of...

Break on Through

Don’t you just hate it when you and your bro-orcs are just hangin’ out chillin’ when some band of armed thugs just leaps into your pad and starts trashing the place without so much as a how-do-you do?  Well I’m here today to make you an incredible offer on...

Fore Warned is Four Armed

Woah, that’s a lot of hits my One Page Dungeon post generated this week. Hello to all you Campaignwiki people. It looks like this blog is slowly morphing from a miniature wargame blog into an old-school D&D blog.  Even to the point that my post titles directly tie in...

Sprucing Up the Old Dungeon

The thing about dungeon furniture is that every piece you put down reduces the playing space by one space. So what you’re really after is the suggestion of furnishings; at the table your imagination takes over and fills in all the gaps. At least that’s my story for why...

Rules of the Road

Now that we’re finally getting some lead on the table, it’s time to decide on a ruleset.  I’ve been pumping the good guys over at the Lead Adventure Forums for advice and they’ve pointed me to a lot of nice little free rulesets available on the web.  But I’m having...

A Very Tiny Arbor Day

How’s this for a slick little tree? This creepy old tree was liberated from my son’s Lego box. It started out life as a piece from a Lego knock off brand. It came in a giant orc head with a bunch of not-Lego orcs. It’s the perfect size for...

Three Flavors of Orcs

There’s nothing too spectacular about these orcs.  They’ve got green skins just in case the Warmaster bug ever bites and a fire emblem that fits just about anywhere.  This latest load brings the orc population of my figure case up to a whopping 18,  including three spear-orcs, four bow-orcs...

If Ever A Wonderful Wiz There Was…

These wizards I’ve are them because, because, because, because, because…because of the wonderful paint job I does. TFAN45 The guy on the right started out his life as a warrior monk, but his spear broke off, so he’s now a wizard with a short staff. TSAM10...
