Work in progress. Fantasy Canada map for a commission. I’ll be sorry to let this one go, actually, it’s got some sentimental value already and it’s not even done yet.

Only people who talk too much think the silent treatment works. Rest of us enjoy the periods of quiet…

Today’s addition to a commission map I’m working on. Any comments?

I made some dice trays from artwork of friends. Any interest in a video tutorial?

Anyone here interested in a player’s handbook diorama? I’ll have some more ready soon. I make these in VERY limited batches and only twice a year.

Just bought this one. One more and I’ll have all the gold spine books! Hoping to find it before GaryCon and I’ll get Mr. Easley to sign it so I’ll have them all signed by him.

An older build but one that got lots of attention on twitter. Still one of my favourites. Built for my kid who loves the show.

I just realized almost every day this month I am gaming, game prepping, or running games. Good month coming. Somehow gotta fit some parenting and work in there…

Tell me about your epic adventures this weekend! Who died? Who lived? Whose name will be sung about by bards for years to come?

Trying #ShadowDark for the first time tonight in a short campaign. The DM is on the left, me on the right, and the creator Kelsey in the middle. I’ve had two conversations with her @garycon’s but this is the first chance I’ve had to play it! #lifegoals

I’m working on building 10 more of these but that’s a few weeks out. For now, roll a good stealth check and you can sneak into the shop to pick up the ONE I have ready NOW! dragontime.ca/product/phb-di…

This guy lost a leg during the 3d printing so gave him a wooden leg to help him get around. #minipainting

I keep seeing the big Youtubers freaking out over views. Thus I thought to myself, NOW IS THE TIME! Yup, I launched my new show about Classic RPGs. Here is my little welcome greeting video. www.youtube.com/watch?v=qqCX...

O fficial launch of my adventures and more are only a few days away! I got the stamp of approval/compatible from @GoodmanGames for Sewers of Scathmore adventure for DCC! Just a few more details to work out and some marketing and it’ll be out there. 2 years in the making!

Last week’s game. The 4 gargoyle’s are doing a LOT of damage to the party. Had to end the evening two rounds into combat so a bit of a cliffhanger!

Should I be painting other things? Yes, yes I should be. Was this giant fun to paint this weekend? Yes, yes it was.

Chests almost done. Then onto the scones and lighting. The end is nigh! Nigh I say. Nigh. Nigh

Painting continues on this mega project. Hoping to begin assembling these very soon and getting the PHBcovet diorama on my store for the first week of the new year! Gotta pay for my cons somehow.

My table.

Well it has seen better days but for $1.50 I wasn’t going to say no. With Boris Vallejo art on the cover. Anyone read this?

Just had an idea, next time a player says “can we have done that?” I’m going to ask for an intelligence check. Thoughts?

The Odd Rod @rodsalm.bsky.social · 12/12/2024
The worst D&D players at a table are always those that haven’t dm’d and run a game. To them it’s like a board game: Show up, play, learn as you go. They don’t know how much the dm invests before and during a game.

Pile of columns done today too. Snow day meant for productive craft and paint day between shovelling (3 so far and will have to shovel again in the morning to be able to leave).

Finished up this bad boy today but don’t have any plans to throw it in a game. Enjoy!

Progress! Figured out the lighting and how the foam needs to be cut to accommodate it. Now to do it 12 more times.
