    No, Hirst Arts. Just...no.

    I've got to chime in with support for Hirst Arts. $35.00 defrayed amongst a group will cut your cost. And one 50 pound box of dental plaster will make you a ton of bricks. My suggestion is to start small. Get a floor piece mold and a basic wall mold and try it out. I built my Descent...

    New WHFRP3e prospective GM, help!

    Our group has had four meetings so far and are enjoying the game. We have all played 1st and 2nd edition as well. The rule book is a bit wonky and we are just now shaking out the correct procedures in some things. I directed all of my players to read the design notes on the FFG website. That...

    Pathfinder 1E Roll Call: The Pathfinder RPG

    Got mine on 8/11. Looks like Davemage got his a day earlier even though we both live in Gainesville. Who does he know at the Post Office?

    ShadowLight's Adventures in Hirst Arts

    Great to see this thread pop back up. It does an excellent job of showing just how easy it is to cast these molds. For me, the hardest part is painting. But if you follow the tutorials on the Hirst Arts site, even that comes out pretty good. My most recent project was to make game pieces for...

    Is gaming *with* a map and minis really bad?

    I've been gaming for 27 years. We started with using dice, bottlecaps, etc to mark a space on the table. Everything from cups, books and keys have been used to mark terrain. Can you play without minis? Of course! Our group has always liked to see exactly where they are in combat. We now...

    What is Ptolus?

    I just finished running my players through The Banewarrens (which comes free as a PDF with Ptolus). I found that it did a great job of creating a "dungeon" that had a reason for existing. Since it is located below Ptolus, it also had a lot of sections that led interaction with various groups...

    Most amusing line in a game book?

    WHFRP Second ed. Under Replacements and Appendages: "Hook: The standby of the handless everywhere."

    What's your Ptolus number?

    #527. My wife called me yesterday to let me know. And counting DaveMage's copy, it is at least the second one to make it to Gainesville FL.

    Tanith Lee?

    Her first book "The Birthgrave" is one of my all time favorites. I'm also surprised that you were led to the children's section, unless she has written something specific for that audience.

    I'm just busting you on the oft mentioned guide. :D Congrats on the new family member. That's enough to keep you from getting anything else done. Thanks for starting the thread and thanks go out to the other people who posted pictures and/or news of their success with this idea. I've...

    I'm using a white piece of foam core. My image size is 22 x 37 and we've cut the foam core to fit that. The table is only 41 inches across anyways and my projector is set up to drop the width going across the table. I haven't really played with making the picture size larger or smaller. I'm...

    Here are two pictures from this weeks game session. This is the ground floor plan for Three Feathers Inn, from the WFRP adventure Rough Night At Three Feathers. Someone else made the map, put it in PDF format and I downloaded from the WFRP site. It might have been done with Dundjinni, but...

    Thanks for the tip Steel Wind. We actually figured that one out after we took the pic. I'm still learning the program. Which is why I posted how easy it is to use. It really doesn't take an expert to use it. It took me awhile to figure out how to turn off the grids and not to show the sound...
