Now I'm back off my recent holiday, I wanted to get back into the further adventures of fleshing out my dungeon creation.

This project is easy-peasy, really… Continue reading Grim’s Dungeons of Doom: The tables are turned (or constructed…)
Back again with the next in my series of dungeon terrain building articles, if you missed the last episode, we dealt with my chunky basic door pieces, but this time we are going to go more advanced and create opening ones like thus: These are not hard to make, but are a little more involved… Continue reading Grim’s Dungeons of Doom: If you choose to open the door, go to part 6…
An old fave of mainstream fantasy today, fleshing out more monsters for the Dungeons of Doom Fighting fantasy miniature skirmish game, the common orc. You might notice that I'm trying to bring some uniformity to the monster stats, this is for making monster cards later for my game. I thought I'd eventually have to do… Continue reading Grim’s Dungeons of Doom: Dwellers of the Pit: Orc (common)
Hello everyone, I'm back with the next part of the Dungeons of doom, a series of articles dealing with the creation of easy and cheap to make 28mm scenic dungeons.

Back again with another addition to the Dwellers of the pit, a series of companion articles to the dungeons of doom.

This time we have the Young red… Continue reading Grim’s Dungeons of Doom: Dwellers of the Pit: Young Red Dragon

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.

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. I want to start by adding a little about how I came to the decision to construct the walls… Continue reading Grim’s Dungeons of Doom: Another brick in the wall (Creating the wall structures)
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…
