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…
Today's Grim's Dungeons of Doom tutorial is another dead easy one, level riser tiles to elevate your dungeon to a higher level! These simple to make tiles will add an extra dimension to your set ups, and will create much more options when making your set-ups. All you'll need for this structural addition to… Continue reading Grim’s Dungeons of Doom: Rising up, Easy level Riser tiles for your set up!
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!
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
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
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
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
