The new home of all things Grinning Skull!
In this edition of Grim's Dungeons of Doom, we are going to deal with the creation of bone piles for our mini dungeon. These can be used as debris or even better (as I plan on doing) as undead respawn markers. 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. So, while not fitting the whole dungeon theme entirely, we kick off this belated Grim's Dungeons of Doom article with… Continue reading Grim’s Dungeons of Doom: Tavern Tales: Raising the bar! Making a Tavern bar!
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 again with more Crowdfunders for us freaks and geeks, this time in the form of two similar projects on kickstarter. First of being the Encounter Elements encounter bricks construction system. These are geared towards the GM/DM who just hasn't got time to create some terrain for the various enounters one might need to show… Continue reading Crowdfunding Spotlight: The Encounter Brick Construction System from Encounter Elements on Kickstarter
WTF!? Exactly! I thought I'd kick off this post with these surreal and barmy miniatures from Ekmel Sword Miniatures from over on Kickstarter. Crazy is not the word for these sets of what are termed"sexy" 28mm Orcs on offer here, but hey, you know me, I love those crackpot mini ideas! As you can see,… Continue reading Crowdfunding Spotlight: Sexy Orcs Kickstarter by Ekmel Sword
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
Before I begin with this weeks Grim's Dungeons of Doom article, I would say that it would have been sooner,rather than now, all down to SD formatting blues, and that I had to try and both find some lost pic files, and recreate a good few to make these next two parts! Many Bothan spies… Continue reading Grim’s Dungeons of Doom: Adventures in expanded foam, part 2: Cavern Doorways and Corners
The next KS I want to highlight is the Effincool Minis "Big Bastards" Trolls. Coming in at 80mm, the words Big bastards is not wrong, as these figures are huge troll figures (even bigger if you use them for 15mm or even 10mm!) The figures exude a lovely old skool feel, and would fit well… Continue reading Crowdfunding Spotlight: Big Bastards 80mm Troll Miniatures Effincool Miniatures Kickstarter
