  • The Dragon Pillar

    As part of my video prep for the latest Age of Ashes session, I finished up the painting of the Dragon Pillar terrain piece I was working on. As mentioned previously, this is less “dragon” and much more “tiki”, mixing up the various cultures, but for our gaming purposes this was solid replacement. Painted, it…

  • Tavern update

    With Ohio declaring a school closing schedule thanks to Covid, and my travel being suspended for the foreseeable future, I expect I will have more than a bit of time for terrain building and painting. Fortunately, the Clorehaven Tavern print is just about done – I am finishing up the doors and accessories this evening.…

  • Getting serious

    In an effort to continue the 3d printing, I was convinced to explore larger options for filament – specifically larger rolls of 1.75mm filament. To that end, I purchased a 5 kg spool from Gizmodorks. However, my current storage option is a bit too tiny for the oversized bulk of the new spool. More importantly,…

  • Dragon Totem

    As part of the Cult of Cinders chapter for the Age of Ashes, one of the goals of the group is to destroy or disable a series of Dragon Idols constructed by the Charu-ka and Boggards. This towers are magical, and have caused the Ekujae Elves to go blind whenever they approach (along with a…

  • Clorehaven Tavern

    Working on my next large terrain project, and decided to tackle the Clorehaven Tavern build. This is similar to the Watch Tower and Barn projects, though from the size much larger in print volume. Most likely, I will need to break each floor into several pieces, since the MK3 simply can’t print that large. Similar…

  • Miniature Monday – Clorehaven Barn

    Doubt I will be able to maintain it, but going to try to prepare and display terrain and miniatures on a regular schedule, tentatively on Mondays. In concept, these will include a timelapse of the printing process, along with at least a final painting of the figure, terrain piece, or assembly. Again, I expect I…

  • Torch Light, v2

    Continuing my design for a light marker for tabletop gaming, and currently have the pictured design. This one is functional enough that we were able to utilize it during our latest session – although the group didn’t actually need any lights. And it is durable enough now that it didn’t break during use. The design…

  • Torch Lights

    Side project I have been working on is a clear marker for who is holding the light in RPG groups. Commonly, we have found that we forget about light, and have difficulty with the group remembering where the light is, during a game session. Sometimes this isn’t important, but many times it can play a…
