DnD: The Heroes

These minis represent a core band of heroes from my Greyhawk campaign.  These guys made it to 12 level.

From left to right they are: Alabern human cleric, Thamior elven fighter/monk, Eleros halfling rogue, Larian human wizard, Erky dwarf fighter.

Later in the campaign they are joined by a barbarian and a young silver dragon  They are unpainted minis though.

These are Reaper minis except for the elf which is Games Workshop from the LOTR line.  Reaper minis are great because they are so iconic to DnD or fantasy gaming.

Thamior is played by my step brother. And Thamior meets each of these characters on his adventures.  Thamior saves Alabern from some orcs in his first adventure from the basic box.  He later meets Eleros in an adventure in the basic box.  He meets Larian  and Erky in the sunless Citadel.  Eric played all of these characters when he couldn't find anyone else to play.  We played for about a year.

The game was played in 3.0 and 3.5 edition of DnD.  Now 4.0 is a year or so old and I just got the books.  I can't convert all the characters over to 4.0 because there is no monk class in the game yet.  What a bother.  It is just a way a forcing you to buy more books.  The monk may be in the soon to come player handbook 3 or it is in the Forgotten realms book.  Who knows? Can anyone tell me?

Enough of a rant.  The 4.0e is good, it is different, but it is good.  The fights should be much better.  Everything seems easier for a beginner DM and new players.  It has enough combinations to make experienced players happy.  Although customization for characters is lacking.

The Wotc website has a link for podcasts that are of a beginner game.  I have been listening to them and learning.  I have been reading two blogs.  One is the Chatty DM and one is the Newbie DM.  They have some great articles that teach you how to DM.

I might be able to get in a game as a player at the local game store.  It is Living Forgotten Realms open game.  The next thing I want to do is start my own game.  There are two groups I can approach for players but I doubt I'll get any takers.  Maybe the forgotten realms group has some players.  Last resort is to advertise at the game store.  But I don't like the idea of total strangers.

Go Gaming!

Polymer Clay: More Dungeon Tiles

These dungeon tiles are made of polymer clay.  All scrap.  The left mimiature is a dwarf fighter and the right miniature is an animated statue.

The picture above shows some blocks I glued together as half walls and with a kind of rubble/ruined feel to them.  The mini on the left is a wizard human and on the right is a halfling rogue.

This is a picture of a mini I made out of polymer clay.  He is an earth elemental.  I know it is pretty goofy.  And on the right is a human cleric.  One wall is made of blocks layed onto polymer clay using liquid clay and on the right are blocks glued together to make a wall.

Happy creating!

Polymer Clay: Grey Dungeon Tiles

Here are the grey dungeon walls and floor tiles made of polymer clay.  The miniature on the left is a elf sorcerer and on the right is a mordor orc that I painted.  It is a challenge to get good pictures of miniatures.  The best way right now is to put them on the printer and scan them in.  But I wanted to pose them on this dungeon tiles.

I suppose I could just buy dwarven forge dungeon tiles.  But what would I do with all of that scrap clay.

They have really nice stuff.  I have seen their models at the local game store.  Nice!  I hesitated buying the dwarven forge tiles because I didn't want to store them.

Happy Creating!

Polymer Clay: Red Dungeon Tiles

This is a picture of the dungeon wall and floor tiles I made from scrap polymer clay.  The miniature on the left is a LOTR elf archer and on the right is a mummy.  Both of which I painted.  The walls and floor did not need painting as they look like marbled stone.  The red adds to the fantasy flare. 

I ordered a pound of white and black clay from amazon so I can make more dungeon tiles.  I want to be able to make at least one room to play a fight in.

Happy Creating!
