"Where are all of the cool creepy monsters?" asks the new player. It's true, when you purchase most RPGs, role playing games, the monsters aren't in the core rules. Some rules like WHAT, Warrior Heroes Adventures in Talomir, cover some of the bases. WHAT has 16 different creatures and races, and when it comes to… Continue reading WHAT Monsters and Other Critters
Mistress of Time, Episode 1 A Recruiting Story *Note: This story is from a Warrior Heroes Adventures in Talomir, WHAT, Carousing Encounter. It takes place in a small village in the Border Kingdom near its border to the Goblin lands and Goranth. The Encounter Rating is 3 and takes place in the village square and… Continue reading Zhu Paand & Fizzrelda
Creating a character is easy in Warrior Heroes Adventures in Talomir, WHAT. It is the first thing a player does in any role playing or immersive game. In some games it is an easy process and in others, it is a bit more complex. I've heard and read anecdotes of characters dying before the creation… Continue reading WHAT – Creating a Character You Can Love
Are there holes in your miniature collection? I've had one in mine for years - orcs and goblins. When it comes to tabletop villains, I've got dark elves, skaven (wererats), chaos (mutant humans), beastmen, gnolls, and all kinds of undead, but very very few orcs and goblins. I'm working on a new campaign, a new… Continue reading Painting Female Goblins
Wait a minute! There's already a Knight class in WHAT (Warrior Heroes Adventures in Talomir), isn't that the same thing? Well, yes and no. WHAT defines a Knight as an elite fighter skilled in the use of a sword. While a Paladin is indeed a Knight, he or she is also something more. We first… Continue reading WHAT – The Paladin
Both Dungeons and Dragons and Pathfinder have a Barbarian Class not found in many other RPGs including Warrior Heroes Adventures in Talomir (WHAT). In this post, I'll go over what makes the Barbarian different from your average Warrior and how to easily create one for WHAT. There is a tradeoff, however, the more you make… Continue reading WHAT – The Barbarian
Today, I was a little under the weather - you know, the pounding frontal lobe most-of-the-day headache, right above the right eye. Anyway, I only worked one hour on the project painting only one color - yellow. Yellow is a hard color to paint. Oh, you can gloop it on thick with lots of brush… Continue reading Mid-Summer Madness – Session 13
I only worked two hours on the project today. Bringing the total time spent to 35.5 hours. However, I feel like I got a lot done for this unit. The shields received the by now customary Reaper Dark Elf Shadow, a purple so dark that it is almost black. The bases were painted Reaper Earth… Continue reading Mid-Summer Madness – Session 12
This fearsome unit has not lost a battle since the Battle of the Black Marsh. The sorceress who owns the regiment, Xyandi Nindraizan, had the survivors decimated - one in ten were impaled on their own spears to sooth her anger. The current commander, Ghin Cygnarc, knows that in each battle or skirmish, he must… Continue reading Spears of the Winged Skull
The second unit is finished! I worked on the project 2.5 hours today. I finished the 12 figure Spears of the Winged Skull. I have now finished 24 models. I also applied the zenithal highlight to the third unit. I've spent a total of 33.5 hours on the project. I corrected mistakes, painted details and… Continue reading Mid-Summer Madness – Session 11
I started today by painting the bottom layer of skin color on the daemonettes before putting them away to continue working on the dark elf spear unit. Today's main focus was the dark elf skin. As before, I use a mix of three colors - Reaper Runic Purple, Warcolours Flesh 4 and Warcolours Flesh 2.… Continue reading Mid-Summer Madness – Session 10
Working on the same project 9 days in a row is tough. It reminds me of when I worked for a living. I'm certainly going to thank the labor movements of the early 20th century for pension plans and retirement. Also, if you enjoy having a weekend, that's another benefit from the "liberal" labor movements.… Continue reading Mid-Summer Madness – Session 9
