Warhammer 40 Number of Views :500I’ve been posting up things on Twitter, little projects I’ve been working on, and almost every time, someone says, “Jeeze, man, how many projects are you working on?!” Good question. My hobby is collecting projects. I’ll often begin working on something, then leave it to the side when I become bored, only [...]

Miniatures,
Pathfinder Number of Views :731By now, you’ve probably seen the miniatures for the Pathfinder Beginner’s Box, which are pretty nifty figures. At $12 for a complete set of the figures you see to your right, that’s not too bad. Good sculpts, nice paint-jobs, and there’s a map in there too! Color me impressed. What was announced [...]
Number of Views :493I am now back home and about to give my recount of day 3 at GenCon. Short and sweet it was slower and just as good as the other two. Maybe even a little better if you consider that I won a castle. Seriously. But we’ll get back to that a bit [...]
Number of Views :697Day two of GenCon was busy, busy, busy and fantastic! This morning we woke up too late for the game we were scheduled for, so instead we went over to the Dealer Hall and wandered for a while. Bridget picked up a set of Game Science dice, we got a stuffed dragon [...]

Miniatures Number of Views :1255In anticipation for the upcoming “conversion“, I was told by Bridget that my sister-in-law wants me to play a character as well as DMing. I think she thinks the party will be safe as long as I’ve got a stake in the party as well. I decided to give a character a [...]
Number of Views :1205Back in March, Stuart Robertson of Robertson Games wrote a post about painted vs. unpainted miniatures, which got a lot of great comments. iIn the post, he asked who out there uses entirely painted figures with no stand-ins. I wish. My ultimate goal would be to be able to run a weekly [...]

One Monk Number of Views :516Jim over at One Monk Miniatures has gone crazy! He’s offering all of his miniatures for absolutely free! You heard me right. And this isn’t a limited time offer. It’s absolutely free forever! You can see the announcement here. Jim, thank you so much for this completely selfless and unnecessary act. This [...]

4e D&D,
Miniatures Number of Views :1538Tonight, this is what the heroes will face. It’s the first paper model I’ve built successfully that actually turned out looking good. That’s entirely made of paper, and normally you could find it on One Monk Miniatures to download, but they’ve been redesigning their site, and I can’t find it at the [...]
