The new home of all things Grinning Skull!
Hello everyone, it's me Grim. In my absence, I at least have been amassing a fair bit of material here to continue on with both this series and the blog.

With that in… Continue reading Grim’s Dungeons of Doom: Realm of the dead; Cemetery Gateway

In this edition of Grim's Dungeons of Doom, we are going to deal with the creation of bone piles for our mini dungeon.

Every respectable dungeon should have a few of these to warn those pesky adventurer… Continue reading Grim’s Dungeons of Doom: Dem bones, Dem bones: Bone Pile Respawner Markers
Well, here I am again, with a later than scheduled terrain making post, I know it's been a while, but haven't had much chance to do much with a PC for what seems like ages.

If you remember In most Fighting Fantasy books from the distant past, you always had the opportunity to heal your depleted Stamina score by munching on your provisions that you either had already, or simply found during the course of your adventure. So with this episode of Grim's Dungeons of Doom, that's what we're going… Continue reading Grim’s Dungeons of Doom: Restore 2 Stamina; Miniature provision markers.
Every self respecting cheesy stock fantasy dungeon environment needs barrels? Right? Well, in this part of Grim's Dungeons of Doom, I'm going to show you how to create whatever barrels you need for your games. Me personally if I had loads of spare cash to buy my terrain bits, I would get lots of them,… Continue reading Grim’s Dungeons of Doom: Scraping the barrel, making mini barrels.
So, outside of the Grim's Dungeons of Doom tutorials, I think I needed to have yet another sub-set of brain fart articles to cover other aspects from time to time, so here is 4xD (which stands for Dungeon developments, discourse and dialogue) in which i'll be babbling on about my gameworld Plexus (which I wouldn't… Continue reading 4xD: But hey Mr Grim, I wanna’ game my dungeon in 15mm….
Back again with the next part of Grim's Dungeons of Doom, and more adventures in expanding foam, and how you can craft some decent scenics with this little used material. OK, for part three, we are going to deal with cavern features, mainly hazard pools and stalagmites. I've opted here to create pieces that illustrate… Continue reading Grim’s Dungeons of Doom: Adventures in expanded foam, part 3; Cavern features
