The new home of all things Grinning Skull!
Another crowdfunder here I wanted to highlight, is the Stone haven miniatures halfling adventurers kickstarter, which is offering many great looking 28mm halfling minis. These are lovely looking concept pictures, and if they are anything to go by, their miniature counterparts will be impressive. I don't think I've ever seen such a comprehensive array of… Continue reading Crowdfunding Spotlight: Halfling Adventurers Miniatures Kickstarter
Welcome to the companion series of articles that'll build up a bestiary of miniatures for my game, and it'll be here for those of you who want to use the info for your own projects. GIANT SCORPION The first article here is going to deal with the Giant Scorpion (mostly for my memory from Deathtrap… Continue reading Grim’s Dungeons of Doom: Dwellers of the Pit: Giant Scorpion
Ok, still in the Grim's Dungeons of Doom series, I've got a new sub series of articles, still dealing with my dungeon build, but focusing on making custom monsters to flesh out the denziens of the dungeon. I'll be also popping up another sub series to fit them into the system, in an ode to… Continue reading Grim’s Dungeons of Doom: Monster Mini Makes: Giant Scorpion
I haven't posted any crowdfunding spotlight articles recently, so when I saw these little beauties, I just had to post one.

Part 4: Constructing the dungeon walls. Back again with the next part of the tutorial of Grim's Dungeons of Doom, this time dealing with quick and easy, not to mention great looking modular 3d dungeon walls.

We've clocked up over 321,000… Continue reading The Grinning Skull turns 3!!
PART 3: The Base Board. As promised, here's the next part of the dungeon build. This time we are going to be talking about making dungeon floors, more specifically a flagstone floor base board like the one in my own modular dungeon system. First off your going to need a large board as the base… Continue reading Grim’s Dungeons of Doom: Starting at the bottom, Dungeon Floors.
PART 2: The skirmish engine. Before I get into the tutorial mode for the basic dungeon construction, I want to go into a bit about what system I'll be using to run the games with (which will factor greatly on how the build goes and which monsters to use etc) Since I intend to run… Continue reading Grim’s Dungeons of Doom: Kicking it old skool, Fighting Fantasy…
