Here's a quick look (in an attempted 'fly-by' shot) of some of my dwarven terrain (that I've put together for a few Moria-esque games)
Tutorials on how to make it all can be found over on my channel: youtube.com/@CrookedStaf...
(note that it's just paper printouts glued to cardboard)

Last year I released this bonus video/pdf for my patreon supporters and youtube members.
So, as you can see, this year I thought I’d make it available to everyone else as an early Xmas gift:
youtu.be/0A4DySyehnw
It’s not much – but it might be something you can put to use.

I backed this Kickstarter a while back (from Archmage Press )... and it arrived today!
It's a DMless / solo / co-op adventure for D&D (with some similarities to the fighting fantasy books) - and it also comes with some double-sided battlemaps.
With any luck I'll give it a try over Xmas :)

I think the pdf for my next encounter video is done.
Now, this one does rely on the players keeping a map of the dungeon - but seeing as how that's becoming a bit of a lost art, I've included one they can find (as a player handout) along the way (plus there's space for a few GM notes too).

#heroquest was always my brother's game growing up (I had Advanced HQ later on)... but seeing as how it's on sale for £19.99 on Amazon, I thought I'd pick it up
(this is the version with the cardboard standees and the double sided map - so there's only 5 actual mini's to paint ;) )

Testing out a few kitbash ideas for a black numenorean and a couple of orcs at his command.
These are 99% northstar bits (the only thing that isn't is the cloak)... and they're just blu-tacked together at the moment.
Quite happy with them so far :)

I've been working on some dwarf themed terrain again - and this time, it's the dwarven warrior relief/effigies that you can see decorating these walls
As always, there is a video showing how to put them together here: youtu.be/8j0djuRWKC8
