for some time now i came across Forbidden Psalm from videos on Youtube and also reading about the role-playing game, MÖRK BORG. and i didn't think much of it but as time went on i kept becoming more curious about it. i began watching actual game-play videos to get a grasp on the table-top game. i think what attracts me to Forbidden Psalm is that it can be a fantasy game and i can get more out of my Dungeons and Dragons miniatures. i bought and downloaded a pdf copy of the rules and gave it a read and sat down and created a warband. i can say i would give it an A+ for putting together a creative rulebook but it is not printer friendly, so i might get a physical copy somewhere down the road. one thing that i find funny is that for the most part you use a 20 sided die. there are times you use other types of dice but for everything mainly for gameplay it's a d20. another thing about this game that i find interesting is that everything (for the majority) has a difficulty roll of 12....

i've been continuing cranking out miscellaneous miniatures for Dungeons and Dragons and even particularly Perilous Tales. finding miniatures in boxes and containers i forgot i even had, if i can throw some paint on it i quickly did, just to get them done and table ready. i guess it's wishful thinking of slimming down my plastic pile-a-shame. first off i found a small box of plastic creatures from Mantic Games i bought over a year ago and only painted certain creatures from it, so i took the little swarms of snakes and did them a quick green and some shade. and along with those i also found the last of my small toy snakes i remember from a plastic toy set from Wal-Mart. i painted two of these snakes before but this time around i did them in the same green to make it look like a happy snake family. for some time now i had the Mansion of Madness second edition board game from Fantasy Flight Games, just collecting dust and Rita and i haven't played it for some time now. so i to...

while i was working on the bearded devil miniature, i was also painting miniatures in batches. i guess i was doing this to keep my sanity in check and also from feeling overwhelmed. i recently got several miniatures for Dungeons and Dragons and some for Perilous Tales. and what is nice about some of these figures i got specifically for Perilous Tales, i can use them in D&D also. so that is a win-win. here of late i've been having this ambitious idea of creating a character for each class in Dungeons and Dragons. not including the npc's i have created for story-lines, i mean actual leveled characters. several weeks back i got a Wizkids Frameworks orc barbarian. when i went to assemble him i decided to arm him with a great sword. still haven't picked a sub-class for him, i might go with something that fits the racial traits of being an orc. originally i was going to add him to the Red Fangs orc tribe i created back in 2024.

i am not gonna lie, this model is probably going in the trash after it is defeated in Dungeons and Dragons. this particular figure had to be the most pain in the ass to either convert or even paint. to give a little context this model is a Wizkids horned devil. and this horned devil is the main villain of one of the story-arcs that we have going on in our D&D campaign. and to make things grand and awe inspiring i wanted this villain to be something else. Dale's character, Wynze, a tiefling sorcerer was in possession of a deck of many things. and after drawing a few cards, he became haunted and the catalyst of a devil's hatred. then after some time Wynze became an owner of some land that had some what of a stronghold which was pretty nice. and Dale decided that was going to be the base of operations for the group. and then not too many sessions ago, Wynze was duped into a card trick and pulled a card that would make all other cards disappear and also his soul pulled from his...

i came across another hobby challenge hosted by Dave over at Wargames Terran Workshop , this time around it is getting terrain built, painted, and on the table-top during the month of July. and of course here i am waiting until the last minute. waiting for bills and other real life situations to play out i finally was able to order some wild west buildings from Atomic Laser Cut Designs through Amazon. when i placed that order the estimated time arrival was going to be August 1st. but lucky me i got it on the 25th. i purchased a hotel just because i wanted to add some height to the table for my wild west table-top and a mortician shop, mainly for a scenario for Perilous Tales. the hotel was interesting to build. Atomic Laser Cut buildings do not come with instructions so with a little common sense and an open mind, i was able to get this built with some ease. for nice storage the stairs on the side of the building i decided not to glue to the actual building. i painted it in a watered d...
