Table Top Role Playing Games (TTRPGs) were a big part of my childhood and I am rekindling the passion for them. They include but are not limited to Dungeon and Dragons (D&D), Pathfinder and Dark Heresy (A Games Workshop production)
Players who frequent Taverns and Inn are likely to find themselves shoulder-to-shoulder with many faces, races and cultures. If they’re stopping off in the bustling city of Neverwinter, or lodging in the quiet Stonehill Inn of Phandalin, there’s nearly always something for your player characters to overhear. With myself and my current players gaining confidence … Read more
Today marks the end of the dice give away competition I ran over on Twitter. I ran the competition to mark hitting 250 followers, but by the time the competition ended I had over 370. Amazing! The TWO winners picked out of the hat were @pauljbaldwin and @varnished_truth. Congratulations to both of these wonderful people, … Read more
For the 15th of October I tried something a little more adventurous and a whole lot more deadly. The lethal addition for this #inktober drawing was a lava jumping challenge. As if plunging to your molten death wasn’t challenging enough on its own, the little stone islands gets progressively smaller until there’s barely anything to … Read more

As we reach the last step we see why these steps were so heavily worn… a sprawling Tavern.

Before you a vast cavern like room has been carved from what was probably a natural opening. Large, thick but ornately carved pillars … Read more
Man was I dreading this day. Potions!? How do you draw a POTIONS themed room from a lofty position high above a dungeon. What can you add to a Dungeons and Dragons map to make people think, potions?! Surely my penmanship isn’t good enough to draw individual potions I was dreading this #inktober day, especially … Read more
Dungeons and Dragons (D&D), Pathfinder and many other Table Top Role Playing Games (TTRPGs) can see whole tables stuffed with gloriously painted monster miniatures. Ranging from green orcs to glittering gold dragons and shadow monsters. But what are the BEST monster miniatures you can buy? Importantly for starter or new Dungeon Masters, table top role-playing … Read more
Stretching forth from the barren ground, a dark glimmering Mage’s tower dominates the landscape. That would have worked for 10th October’s #inktober, however I built my dungeon map entirely underground… so that makes tower building troublesome. I decided I’d make the entrance of the dungeon map, not a shrine as specified in Day 1 of … Read more
