    Which official 5E adventures have you played through?

    I tried Horde of the Dragon Queen as our first foray into 5E. I hated the railroad and ended up going back to our 2E game. A year later I did a LOT of reading to learn the rules and decided to try 5E again with my group. This time I am running Lost Mine of Phandelver. I think it's a great...

    Ruins of Thundertree - Pic Heavy

    Yes, I actually 3d printed the green trees and added the flocking. I think they came out nice.

    Ruins of Thundertree - Pic Heavy

    Today my party is about to tackle the Ruins of Thundertree. I didn't really plan much for it so I decided to pull out what I had available and come up with some sort of visual setup. This took me about an hour going through my stuff to come up with something I liked. I used a combination of...

    D&D 5E (2014) Greyhawk or the Wilderlands

    Back in the day I was much the same and only ran my homebrew world. I have a lot of Forgotten Realms materials but never played them until finally switching to 5E recently. We are about halfway through Lost Mine and I picked up Princes of the Apocalypse. I am already thinking about using...

    Looking for Board Game Recommendations for 8 and 11 year olds

    My kids at 8 and 9 have been playing Catan Jr for a couple years and love it. Probably move them up to Catan soon. My kids absolutely love Ticket to Ride. Since you have it I would consider giving it another try. I also started my kids with Hero Kids a couple years ago (6&7) and they now sit...

    D&D 5E (2014) Movies that make you want to play D&D

    The original Clash of the Titans (not the new garbage) , Jason and the Argonauts, and Excalibur! Clash of the Titans came out in 1981 and I first saw it on HBO probably somewhere around 1983....right when I was learning Moldvay basic. I don't think any movies evokes as much D&D feeling to me...

    Phandelver's Redbrand Hideout in Glorious 3D Terrain

    I really don't know how many prints you can get. The Printrbot Simple Metal that I have has pumped out a LOT of prints. The kevlar sleeve that covers the hot end ripped so I bought a new one for it and picked up a new hot end while I was at it. My Printrbot is the older model that had a...

    Phandelver's Redbrand Hideout in Glorious 3D Terrain

    Well, I can print tiles for less than 50 cents. You really need to factor in the print time and paint time. Printing your own is significantly cheaper than buying them, but a lot more work is involved. You also have to take into account what works best for you. I used low height walls and my...

    Phandelver's Redbrand Hideout in Glorious 3D Terrain

    A standard 2x2 field tile (no walls) takes about 50 minutes. Other tiles with walls might take 90-120 minutes each. It is time consuming but it's mostly printer time. The only downside is the sheer amount of time it takes to build a large collection.

    Phandelver's Redbrand Hideout in Glorious 3D Terrain

    It is a lot of work for just a few quick encounters, but I was working on printing my base set of tiles. They will get reused over and over and starting with Redbrand Hideout gave me a really good set to start with. I agree that 5E shines with Theatre of the Mind and for some encounters we do...
