I've just started working on a Fat Dragon Games dungeon (ironically for my hubby's game and not my own), but it's the EZ dungeon set so we can reuse it and reconfigure it. It's loads of fun! I just spent most of the weekend making the paper EZ Dungeons Highlands and some from Dwarf Lords Cliffs for my husband's game instead of mine haha. I love it too! The EZ dungeons models are great. Post some pics of your crafted dungeon in action! I'll do the same in a week or two of my cliffs whenever my party goes hunting after the Purple Worm I think it'll be a few weeks before we use it but I also made the Dragonshire down square. I could post a pic of that. You'll laugh though - we dont really have minis yet so we use LOTR Risk for monsters. haha I cant wait to see yours in action

So, I have been painting for 6 months now having started after DM Exitium posted the mini tutorial for me! I have painted nearly every day of that time and absolutely love it! So far my favorite is repainting and sprucing up the bases of prepainted minis and painting hero forge minis for my gaming groups. I finally took the time to scale down the pics I have taken so I can post a highlight reel.

IT definitely made for a fun terrain to play on, especially when my husband had the purple worm burrow right through the cliffs to chomp on PCs trying to play it safe Post some of your paper crafting when you can Chickadee! P.S. I also included a pic of my painting of the Rusty Dragon Inn bar set from Pathfinder. It was super fun to paint and then my gaming group had a super nerdy Christimas party as us aaaannnd as our characters in the bar haha. Attachments:

I want to participate! Not that my painting is any good, but any tips on hosting an image so I can post it here?

Nah! I have dived head first though and spent a lot of time at it! It proves that everyone interested should give it a shot. I can't draw stick figures to win at pictionary so assumed I couldn't paint minis. Not true! So anyone else out on the forums who has been thinking of taking the dive into minis painting, check out dmexitium's tutorial and videos and maybe also some Painter's Guild on Alfa if you subscribe to that channel, and get to it!

Someone else likely had a better way to do it, but I have to have my pictures on my desktop, open them in paint, and resize the images so they are small enough. Then I just use the attach a picture function in the post reply. I don't know any other way but I'm about as bad at that stuff as you can be And still function on the internet! Yes please post your stuff I'd love to see it!

Thanks for the help! I didn't realize there was an attachment option. In the past I've hosted the image somewhere, but what a pain. On the left, some crude statures I made for an escape room puzzle. On the right, the only minis I've painted and a Hero Forge I haven't gotten to. These were an experiment. I mostly paint space ships now, but I should definitely get around to doing more minis.

I am always interested in puzzles for sessions. I see the XWing packages in the background! Have you done repaints of those? My husband has been happy enough with my mini painting to be close to asking me to paint some of his XWing ships so I'm curious if you've done that. Definitely keep painting and try out more minis if you enjoy it. It does keep getting easier and opens up so much opportunity for things to present to your players due to the variety and affordability of unpainted minis.

I have a bunch of pewter ones I got as gifts, but I almost like them more in pewter. The clay statues were part of the overarching puzzle of the escape room (Tolkien's Secret Office). Different parts of the room provided clues to which pedestals the statues should stand on and which way they should be facing. I should really write the whole thing up in a readable way. As it is, I have to solve all the puzzles again when I want to set it up. I've done maybe 5-10 of the ships. The more recent ones turned out pretty well.

You know you can't hold out on us forever concerning the Statue puzzle!!! I'd love to see a DM perspective puzzle set up you have for that!

You know you can't hold out on us forever concerning the Statue puzzle!!! I'd love to see a DM perspective puzzle set up you have for that! The puzzle was based on Middle-Earth, so you'd want to modify it for your world. Three of the statues started in plain view in the escape room on book shelves and desks (in your game this would be statues that seem like part of the dungeon scenery). The players don't recognize them as anything special until they find the other two hidden in locked boxes within the escape room (in your game, these would be statues that dungeon puzzles or combats expose and are clearly movable, leading them to recognize the importance of the other statues). A central place contains four pedestals, one marked North, another with a QR code to a number. If they can figure it out, this number leads to a video of "Tolkien" in the "Palantir" that indicates the dwarves are associated with that pedestal. Further phrases and riddles obtained throughout the escape room (dungeon) indicate which statues go where and which way they should face, for example "the wizards go to the Grey Havens but look ever on the mortal realm" indicates that the wizard statue goes on the West pedestal and faces East or "the humans look to themselves" indicates that the human statue should be facing the same direction as the pedestal it stands on (in your dungeon, these clues would be customized, the way I did it, I plotted the amount of information each clue gave to make sure that they would require 4 of 6 clues to figure it out, 5 of 6 if they didn't make a logical leap at some point, and with all 6 would require little thought to solve the overarching puzzle). Satisfied?

As DM's we build an arsenal of miniatures, tokens, terrain and other fun artsy stuff. I just wanted to start this thread so we could share pictures of the mini's we work so hard on for ourselves and our players. Attached is my girlfriends Hero Forge mini of her black dragonborn barbarian Onyxia. Also, a Blood God warriors pack that I painted as orcs for DnD purposes since I don't play Warhammer. I just love the dragonborn mini!! It looks so good.
