Very happy with how these two turned out. I took so liberties with the crests and eyes, but that's Fantasy for you!

Yarn moss is finished! Rolled on a table for colour and ended up with blue. Wouldn't have been my first choice, but it worked out.
The tendrils can be eaten raw, but they're stringy and bitter. At least they're a change from the freeze dried rations... #wargaming #terrain #nerdlings

Thinking about the demons in Frieren that use language, but don't understand the meaning behind it, only the results... AI large language models would be demons of that world.

This is a very thoughtful analysis of towns in AD&D, but applicable to just about any rpg.
I decided it would be beneficial to collect my findings over the past few months with regard to AD&D towns & cities into one "master" post. I came up with a list of four themes that characterize these environments which the DM might keep in mind when running adventures there:

Played the Last Stand scenario of One Page Rules Fire Fight. Dice definitely weren't with me tonight, but still a good game! #wargaming #miniatures

Some excellent folks are putting this LARP on, and I'm very excited to see it come to life!
IT'S ANNOUNCEMENT DAY
Me and the team have been really crunching to get stuff done for the past few months. There's still plenty of work left to do but I'm so proud of what we've put together so far!
If you wanna know more, check out the website, join the Discord, or DM me

Lovely first game of 5 leagues from the borderlands last night. Still learning the rules, but after just a couple rounds we've got the basics down. We had a duskling champion leading a band of shambling dead who were dug from the local graveyard. Now to find out where the rest of the bodies went...

Great game of opr firefight last night. We tried the 3.5 beta rules and as predicted they were much more deadly than 3.4. Played 5 objectives with points counted each turn and it came down to a single rout roll to see if the tau could contest the last objective.

Dwarves vs undead in an 15mm scale #opr skirmish game. At the end of turn 4 all but the necromancer was driven from the field, the curse of vengence on his lips. Great game where you had to protect/desecrate the altar, as well as round up villagers to save/sacrifice. #miniatures #wargaming
