    [Miniatures] Dog's Bones - 2018 ->Dec 18th - Animals

    Those look awesome! I see the Flash (the plastic seam from the mold) on your fire giant. Prior to painting use a razor blade to remove it, to prevent it from leaving a line down your miniature. Best of luck!

    Item question regarding Bags of Holding

    Well I guess I've been using the the bag of holding improperly for years! Since 2nd ed my party has adhered to the bags spacial limitations, but not its weight. We've loaded those things with a dragon's hoard, traveled to the plane of earth and mined it for crystals. We've even filled it with...

    [Miniatures] Dog's Bones - 2018 ->Dec 18th - Animals

    Use more colors per miniature. Weapons ought to have wood and steel colors. Detail in armor can be amplified with colors (rather than keeping it a flat chain mail coat). Use more washes to bring out detail in your shoes and leather straps. This round of miniatures look hastily painted...

    LOTR RPG vs The One Ring

    Thanks for your feedback! Of the two, LOTR and One Ring. Which of them seems to be more "Tolkien like," Which of them is easiest to learn/ has fewer rules but is also less likely to have flaws in the mechanics?

    LOTR RPG vs The One Ring

    So here's my situation. I've got a very eager wife who wants to run an RPG in Middle earth. On my shelf I've got the the 2002 Lord of the rings RPG which has since been discontinued. I've also got the option of buying the 2012 One Ring RPG. So which system is better? Should I play with the...

    Serious question - are you going to invest in D&DNext?

    If D&D next is easier to learn and play than D20 then I'll buy in. Otherwise I already have a great dungeon dwelling/hack'n slash game; Pathfinder/D&D 3.5. On the other hand if they bring back the settings of 2nd edition: Planescape/ Spell Jammer/ Birthright I'd jump on board in a heart...

    Pathfinder miniatures ... are folks using these much?

    I've been very happy with the Pathfinder-reaper metal mini's. Good quality, great sculpts.

    how do FLGSs make money?

    Boardgames, MTG and wargames. At least this is my opinion. Location: Should be a place where a soccer mom feels comfortable letting their kids go to. Or a place an adult male has no problem bringing their girlfriend to to buy board games/ play games. Boardgames are a great impulse buy ( On...

    [Miniatures] Dog's Bones - 2018 ->Dec 18th - Animals

    Fire is tough to do right. Here is my advice for doing flame (it might give you an idea for what to do with your furnace). My best stab at doing flame is to first paint it yellow, then paint half way down from the top with dark red. Wash dark red over the entire "flame", then dry brush a few...

    Numenera: Adventures in the Ninth World

    I just built my first sample hero for numenra, gear and all. It took me 15 minutes. Worried I made a mistake I then spent over an hour trying to figure out why I finished this character so fast... lol My only fear of this game is getting this setting right. I mean its sort of a...

    [Miniatures] Dog's Bones - 2018 ->Dec 18th - Animals

    Wow looks really good! I sometimes lightly dry brush silver over feathers to give them a shine, but your layering of colors worked really well and got a similar effect. Good work on the wash!

    [Miniatures] Dog's Bones - 2018 ->Dec 18th - Animals

    Here's a couple tips. When doing fur, very Very lightly dry brush off white color to give the fur a bit of sheen. As for small rodents white/red dots for eyes really help them stand out especially on swarm tokens.

    [Miniatures] Dog's Bones - 2018 ->Dec 18th - Animals

    If you need to remove paint, I've always used pinesol. Works great on plastic and metal, just leave the mini in it for a day and scrub with an old toothbrush (if it didn't all just come off) Just try it out on one bone mini first though... just in case it dissolves bones... I only mentioned...

    [Miniatures] Dog's Bones - 2018 ->Dec 18th - Animals

    Bottom wizard looks really good! However the top girl miniature could probobly use a few washes to bring out her hair and shoes. Many of the miniatures look "grainy." I've had this happen before when I used cheap spray can primer, and the nozzle just sputtered the paint out. - maybe the...

    Now that both books are out... 13th Age vs Numenera

    I only need 1 dungeon dwelling rpg and Pathfinder seems to be doing a fine job. If D&D next heads back into the realms of 3.5 and 2nd ed as well as significantly simplifying the rules I'll be drawn away from pathfinder. As for action adventure RPG's: I've played 7th Sea to death, Found epic...
