A present for my brother-in-law who, when the group lost their Dungeon Master, took the open chair. Wishing you many good games, good stories and memories.

These ice devils came out good; I was especially pleased with the snow on the right. But I may need to go back and do a bit of kit bashing on the weapon so players can easily tell me which one they 🎯. Please modelers, give me at least 2 variations.

There may be older and fouler things than orcs in the deep places of the earth, but orcs still rock 🤘

This is pretty much what I, as a DM, cover in session 0 for an upcoming horror game.
Yes, I realized after release I misspelled meta gaming in a chapter header. Dyslexia & odd font is not a winning combination.

I have mixed feelings on this one. I love how both the wings/tail turned out and the lion turned out. I’m not sure the highly saturated wings and tail work on the relatively realistically painted lion.

Finally, the last of the 5 ancient chromatic dragons are painted! Just 4 more metallics. No, I have not been avoiding them. I resent that (accurate) accusations!

Taking a weekend off making videos about RPGs to paint minis for RPGs. 8 hours of painting, 20+ anime episodes and 4 cups of coffee tainted with paint = a monster with a 5 round life expectancy. Worth it.

My first time wiring & soldering LEDs into a model. Overall, it turned out OK. Would have been better if the middle LED didn't fall into the Balor's butt after I glued him together, oh well.

No, this week's video was not just an excuse to use photos from Stonehenge; that was a bonus.

I'm trying to get better and faster at explaining Tabletop RPGs to people who are curious but intimidated by the systems.
I want to give just enough that they understand what they are, and why they're fun—without needing a half hour of their time.

If you ever hear snoring in one of my videos, this is what’s just out of shot. It’s hard to say no to a beagle that just wants to sit with you.
And they are very loud if they don’t get what they want.

A commenter from in a previous video asked if I'd be willing to do a follow up. Yes, I am.
A few examples of how to throw a player a rope when they can't find their own way out without invalidating the choices that led them there.
