So I haven’t posted to the site during the final third of this year — it’s been 4 months since I posted anything! I have a few models completed (just awaiting their seal coat, but complete otherwise) — They’ll make their way to the site after the next few weeks. I haven’t posted in so long for a couple reasons. First, I have a 2-year-old who requires close supervision & constant attention; it makes taking the time to write & edit a post problematic. Another reason it’s been so long — I’m working on a couple side-quests to (hopefully) turn my hobbies into something thatRead More →

Campground Items Collected

Whew! That was a lot of minis… but small, and fast to paint. All of these campground items I painted in one evening, doing a layer on each one and then looping back around to the first for the next layer! I feel like these are better than the orcs I previously posted, but again I did them without any prepping of the miniatures. I’ll get back into prepping the miniatures as I get back into the flow of the hobby, and I’m sure they’ll start to look much better.Read More →

KillerRoo’s Dungeon (A quick peek into the Lich’s Lair)

Hobby Room Setup as of Jan 2019 Just for my own future reference and/or nostalgia, here’s the paint station setup in The Dungeon, as of my hobby re-start: And here is (some) of the D&D collection, as of December 2018: First up is the place of honor… Hardback shelf & antique display cabinet. The Hardback shelf holds most of my prized hardback books. Bookshelf:AD&D 1e, 1e & 2e special limited re-releases, 2e & 2e revised, and 5e. Not pictured: 3.0/3.5/4.0 hardbacks – due to (obvious) space constraints on the shelf, they’ve been relegated to the normal bookshelf in the larger library in another part ofRead More →

D&D – Thalindari “Thal” of the Hierydyl Clan

Thalindari of the Hierydyl Clan, known to his mixed company of companions as “Thal”, grew up in the village of Felvinhir. A Vyalian hamlet of about 300 elves built along the Rugalov river, the houses are built in the trees for protection against the goblins of Dymrak forest, who raid across the river. Higher-society folks in Felvinhir live higher among the trees, whereas lower-caste live closer to the ground. Thal studied herbology and medicine, and was practicing to become a healer. Unfortunately, he made the impolitic mistake of bluntly correcting a more senior, higher-caste healer in the village during a delicate healing. Thal was not exiled, per se,Read More →

So I made this little video, discussing the Lucky feat in Dungeons & Dragons 5e. It’s only about five and a half minutes, I’d love to hear some feedback about the rule and interpretations / play examples from others’ experience!Read More →

Playing Dungeons & Dragons Online

Tagged: D&D

So a week and a half ago, I responded to a random Tweet calling for a DM to run a Dungeons & Dragons 5th Edition Game online for a bunch of folks that have never played before, but are interested in giving it a try. Now, we’ve already done Character Creation, had a quick encounter adventure to whet their appetites, and have the next (first official) adventure scheduled! I never expected to get a game up & running so quickly. The crew is on-board and excited in a way that I wasn’t quite ready for – Several of them have very detailed and thought-out backgrounds,Read More →

Coming Soon – New Pictures!

I’m still not dead! I’ve actually been doing a lot of other type work. The holiday season is typically busy one for everyone and I’m no exception. Between starting a new position at work, buying gifts, figuring out plans with the various families, and wanting to catch a couple hours of sleep here & there, I haven’t been doing much worthy of posting about in detail. However, I have just finished up two more Dwarf models and a Rat Ogre! Watch for them over the next week or so (have to finish up the final touches like sealing & such — and take their pictures).Read More →

I’m on vacation this week, visiting with the parents of @MrsKillerRoo and it’s been great! Besides enjoying the beautiful weather and great company (I love my in-laws, none of the old in-law tropes apply — they’re some awesome people with whom I enjoy hanging), I’ve enjoyed some time catching back up on the old 1st Edition Advanced Dungeons & Dragons game. I’ve always been a player, enjoying the game from the vantage of having NO FREAKIN’ CLUE what was going on. Knowing only what the DM was willing to share, and making lots of terrible PC choices (often causing character death) along the way. Thankfully, I haveRead More →
