    D&D 5E (2014) To much 5th edition content?

    I'm not overwhelmed by the number of releases, but I have recently introduced a couple of new people to the game and man! looking at a PHB + Tasha's +Xanathar's is pretty overwhelming. However, I have some veteran players who would like even more player options. WOTC is always threading the...

    D&D General DIY xps foam terrain. Videos? Pics? Advice?

    If you paint a lot of stone work, and therefore, lots of gray tones, you might try using house paint. I have a quart of white and a quart of black that I got from the hardware store. When I did a bunch of desert terrain I had the paint store mix up a sand/yellow-tan color house paint for my...

    D&D General What should I spend money on now that I'm not going to the local Convention?

    Buy a Hirst Arts floor mold and some Merlins Magic dental plaster and you can make hundreds of tiles that will look great. Magnetizing the tiles is easy too. A lighter option is to make some foam tiles - they can look fantastic and their is a ton of videos on youtube on how to make these and...

    The good ole days of Satanic Panic

    My Mom was a widow and a tough lady when she had to be. We grew up in a village in downstate Illinois and she heard from friends and neighbors that we should not be playing this satanic game. My Mom resisted their interference and even played with us from time-to-time. The prejudice still is...

    D&D General DIY xps foam terrain. Videos? Pics? Advice?

    My process is not too dissimilar, but a slightly different order to my steps. Prime black - modge podge/black paint mix. Dark Gray heavy dry brush - huge make up brushes from dollar general store used here and for most dry brushing. Lighter gray dry brush Fairly bright stone variations painted...

    If you do Facebook - and I totally get it if you do not - I only use it for gaming stuff. There is a great group called Foam Modelling Workshop. A lot of amazing stuff show cased there.

    The PCs are chasing down a guy who turned against their monster hunting association and nearly killed another group with his treachery. The trail has led them to the South Seas and eventually to a ruined city with a large Ziggurat. They discovered an entrance in the top temple and started...

    Pogre's 2022 Miniatures and Models Thread - Today's Gaming set-up - A Classic D&D Adventure Site!

    Here is some of my youngest son, Keegan's work. He really enjoys traditional sculpting over wire armatures. His painting is very solid too. First up is a Half-Gold Dragon fighter named Alduin. This is Keegan's current character in my ongoing Sunday campaign. Next up is his epic character...

    Pogre's 2022 Miniatures and Models Thread - Today's Gaming set-up - A Classic D&D Adventure Site!

    Thanks. I look forward to seeing your project! My son Keegan was worried I had ruined the ziggurat when he saw me applying colors to some of the tiles. They were pretty bright when I painted them. Then I applied a couple of washes and a couple of dry brushes and he saw the results were decent...

    D&D General DIY xps foam terrain. Videos? Pics? Advice?

    The key is to move back further so the sealant is almost dry when it hits the foam. Alternatively, you could use sealers designed for foam - like the Army Painter version. Or do what I do - coat it in PVA glue thinned with water. Although not required by a long stretch, I do like my foam cutter...

    RPG Evolution - Looking Back on My Goals for 2021: Ouch

    Well, here is what I wrote for gaming goals on December 28, 2020: Build more impressive terrain. Success! You can see my latest over at Pogre's 2022 Miniature and Model Thread Finish painting the load of historicals for the French and Indian War game I bought (Musquets & Tomahawks). Mostly...

    D&D 5E (2014) (Deleted)

    Pretty much the same - the only rule I would add to this is I have players award each other inspiration. Also agree with your edit.

    2022 RPG Resolutions

    My main gaming resolution is to buy a little less and to craft a little more. It is easy to buy a ton of stuff, but I enjoy gaming most when I run mostly homebrewed adventures using terrain I crafted and miniatures I painted (or in some cases even sculpted). I got a bunch of tools and crafting...

    D&D General The Tyranny of Rarity

    A few of my players get great pleasure out of experimenting with PCs of unusual races. This has led to me running a pretty much kitchen sink style campaign when it comes to PCs. That does not mean the races will they choose will be plentiful in the world. Indeed, I run a human-centric campaign...

    D&D General How do you deal with long breaks in your campaign?

    For campaigns I am going to continue I have done a couple of things: (1) In one instance I sent out updates from the point of view of the campaign villain. It was a lot of fun and had the players itching to get back to the table. (2) For other campaigns I have sent out surveys on the direction...

    Suggestion for Western RPG

    This group has done well with the historical rpgs I have run in the past. Years ago I ran an age of Rome campaign that was a lot of fun. This group is more about trying new things and touching base online once a week. The adventures mostly flow from goals they create in game. I have given up...
