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.
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.
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
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
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
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
Welcome to another Dungeons of Doom article, my attempt to cover pretty much every aspect of a modular dungeon build for 28mm dungeon crawling skirmishes and RPG. Further along with the furnishings of my dungeon build, as promised I'm taking on the subject of more 28mm furniture this time in the form of beds. Every… Continue reading Grim’s Dungeons of Doom: You’ve made your bed, now stick it in your dungeon! Making 28mm beds!
