The clash of blades and the anguished screams of pain filled the air, as the adventurers hacked their way through zombies, skeletons and wraiths to get closer to their goal: Orcus. Eventually the avdenturers and their henchman got …

A parting gift…

So… I have decided to remove my Twitter account and remove myself from the D&D community. This decision has been brought about because of what to me feels like a constant in-fighting between respected members of the community and ego’s, lie’s and hurtful attitudes that some people seem to harbour. I have been told to …

An Arcane Archer Theme

I took my inspiration for this from Ranger from the D&D cartoons, and wanted something to reflect the Arcane Archer mini I ant to use in Thunderspire… Spell Archer While many elven schools of magic teach the use of the blade as a weapon of a wizard, with emphasis on mobility and magic combined, forming …

Some call these people Necromancers, others call them madmen, they do …

Planes Walker Theme

I’m a terrible liar… And yet, last night I think got away with it (or no one decided to call me out about it). I popped onto the irc chat (Mibbit) and loved the auto suggested name ‘zucchini’ so much that I decided to stick with it, and made up a story about how I …
