I haven't been able to do much lately on the front of mini painting... Crafting time is rather scarce these days with work and whatnot. I do have some more of my party's minis done though! Of course when I say mini, they're kind of scaled more like large characters... But they fit the 1" square...

Well, I'm not sure if I should be posting mine. I'm part of a podcast my friends and I do, and we talk about all sorts of nerd culture. We touch upon some RPG stuff from time to time, usually DnD as it's what we're into. It's not strictly or mainly RPG-based, though. I suppose I will leave a...

Sweet! Great to know; I've gotten bitten with duty charges before (makes ordering from ThinkGeek painful for me) so that's a relief. Thanks!

I became the DM for my group because a) it made the most sense (my place was the best fit for hosting the group, which has since lost a player and gained three), and b) I was voted the best creatively suited to do it, hahah. I enjoy fantasy a lot and I can write reasonably well, so spinning the...

It's been a hell of a ride! Totally exciting to come home and find excellent news in my email, every day! The vampire level peaked at over 200 minis. I think I convinced a friend of mine to get in on it, given the deal (he DMs and uses minis, but prepainted; the painting aspect made him wary but...

I feel like a storygame, as the OP describes it, to be a branch of the RPG tree. Mind you it meanders off into its own air space, but it still got its beginnings there and is similar enough to claim relation. I feel it's more of a subgenre than a genre all its own. That's where the stylistic...

Well, I can help out a bit! Here is Asmor's Monster Maker, a pretty nifty tool for designing your own monsters of whatever proportions. Sadly the current version seems to be the final version ever; as well, the wiki advertised for it has been down for some time. Another thing to consider is that...

Alright... I was indeed referring getting the two free level 1 rituals, IF Ritual Caster is a class feature. Taking the feat on its own wouldn't add any "training" [to differ from skills], but the class features do this. Okay, cool. Thanks for the info, everybody! I consulted my soon-to-be DM...

Some classes [like the Druid I'm currently building] get Ritual Caster as a class feature; you get 1 class-specific ritual and another one of level 1. Now, you can take Alchemist as a replacement for Ritual Caster. This is all fine. What I'm not finding is whether or not you begin knowing any...

Considering all that comes with the Vampire level, I've considered adding $25 for the minis case... But I can't justify it from a financial standpoint. Gahh, this is rough. Next goal already reached, though! This thing is on fire!

There there, chequing account Well, I finally convinced myself to go in for the $60 Mummy level because the deal is too great. Then, after a few minutes of increasing weakness, I increased it to the $100 Vampire level. Too good of a deal, responsibility be damned... We're at 117 minis for $100...

Hmm... A good point! I may, at our next session [sadly next week as this one didn't work out], have people reroll before we get into things to get cooler effects. I honestly really like some of the ones I made up, particularly Warding, Runed, and Novel [Novel lets you make basic attacks with the...

I've found a tutorial to get started on mini painting from MiniWarGaming [called MiniWarGaming Guide To Painting Minis]. They seem to have a fair few other instructional pieces as well. I'm using their material to help start and refine my drybrushing, highlights, shade and dirtying. I'm also...

I implemented this idea in my campaign in last week's session. Sadly, people's rolls for the most part yielded a couple of doubles, and nobody ended up with either of the more fun / useful enchantments I'd come up with. I'm going to figure out a way to incorporate the stone again [described it...

This is a really cool project! Your style reminds me of a cross between Cyanide and Happiness, and Munchkin. Kudos to you good sir. :) Can't wait to see more in the future!
