been about a year since I started painting #miniatures. Army Painter speed paints made the job pretty easy with, IMHO, impressive results. Will one of them show up to face the #DC20 adventurers soon?

My first “big” #miniature is done. The first picture is after using speed paints only the colors were a bit too bright for my tastes. The latter is after a few different washes along with a little dry brushing. It’s got that worn look I was going for. #minipainting

My first use of speed paints with multiple #miniatures. I liked the experience and plan to incorporate some standard paints in with the speed paint next time. #minipainting #miniaturepainting

Had an absolute blast running my first #DC20 adventure this weekend! It had been ages since I last Game Mastered, but thankfully, it was just like riding a bike—smooth and fun!

This weekend we’re playing our first #DC20 session, I finished painting the players party. Hopefully they’ll be pleasantly surprised.

Found a really neat place to prep for my #DC20 adventure, The @backagaincafe.bsky.social in Middletown, CT. It’s got a fantastic #TTRPG vibe to go with some tasty treats!

My first time trying a “bad guy”, it was pretty fun since I got to play with some different skin tones, along with experimenting with my own wash for the blood. My camera work/lighting could use a bit of work. #miniaturepainting #minipainting

My #DC20 GM journey continues, my latest post is an overview how I went about learning the system and preparing a module for the group. At the end there are some helpful links to DC20 materials for players and GMs.

I decided to take the plunge and return to GMing after a long hiatus. To help myself prepare, I’ve been taking notes throughout the process. With the first session fast approaching, I thought, “Why not clean them up and share them with the wider world?”
