The new home of all things Grinning Skull!
Well, I hope that the new year is treating you all well, and that you enjoyed your festivities. I'm back with another Grim's Dungeons of Doom article/tutorial this time dealing with some rickety old wooden stairs to connect your upper levels and platform risers to the rest of your other components we've already dealt with.… Continue reading Grim’s Dungeons of Doom: Modular Scooby-Doo-esque wooden stairs…
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.
Compared to the Encounter elements set from the previous crowdfunding spotlight, this terrain block system looks like something you'd find in a primary school (very similar to the counting block type learning toy you do still find, trust me, I have two under 7's!) Again some of you will be calling me the Simon Cowell… Continue reading Crowdfunding Spotlight: Table Top Blocks Kickstarter
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
Today's terrain building Grim's Dungeons of Doom nonsense is going to tackle another type of wall piece that is found in many a fantasy dungeon scenario, the cavern. I touched upon this before in my brick modular wall article at the beginning, but this one is a slightly tricky make. It involves a can of… Continue reading Grim’s Dungeons of Doom: Adventures in expanding foam, part 1; Cavern Walls
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…
Time for another heads up over on KS, with these lovely laser cut Necromunda-esque scenics from T.J.H models. Very nice it is indeed, although a bit pricey for me, and obviously the wrong size (ahem...15mm anyone?!:)) But regardless, it's a very cool looking set that would be ideal for loads of different sci-fi games. There's… Continue reading Crowdfunding Spotlight: 28mm Laser Cut 3D Terrain, T.J.H Models Kickstarter
If only I was still doing Necromunda, or any other scifi gaming in 28mm, cos' these look very promising indeed! Ok, the plain ones don't really inspire, but by the look of things, these could turn out to be a very good system for gaming. Why some one doesn't do something like this for 15mm… Continue reading Crowdfunding Spotlight: Modular Wargaming Terrain MAKI Games Kickstarter
