Imperial Fist Lieutenant coming along

Haha yeah that's quite the line! Well he was meant to be a practice dummy for painting. I didn't go to hard on him. Yeah maybe too thick of paint, I'm still not 100% sure. I'm trying again.

WIP on the imperial fists, this guy was my first test. Looking good so far. I'm getting that subtle gradient with the yellow/orange from the airbrush. I still suck at the airbrush though so there is a lot of room for improvement. I'm already getting better at it though. Stupid thing keeps...

I'm on Cult of Paint Patreon, Andy Wardle just did a White Scar tutorial and made me want to do them. They'll probably release the video to YouTube soon

Just for light this: Cheap and effective with a good daylight bulb: Light and magnification this: Game changer for me with magnification. Other people like those glasses but I like the lamp with the magnifying glass.

Yah this is where I'm at. I can feel it coming on now, pretty soon i'll crank out a bunch more hah.

Yup definitely a free 2 week demo: https://demo.foundryvtt.com/join

I haven't used Roll20 myself, just saw the videos. Foundry is like a more advanced Roll 20 but has had way less time to implement everything. I'd say Roll20 is the more fleshed out platform on much older architecture if that makes sense. If you want to "home brew" off DnD you could, but...

Yeah depends on which game but Pathfinder, Shadowrun, Cyberpunk etc https://foundryvtt.com/packages/systems It's a bit more work than the FG/Roll 20 to set up but the ceiling is a lot higher.

Derail.... My group is trying Foundry VTT and it's really good. If anyone is looking to play virtually and has a group it's way more modern than Fantasy Grounds or Roll 20. Ambient light, in game music and sound, connects to DnDBeyond, browser based.

I wasn't able to get Indomitus. We'll see if they make more.

Just randomly rented this, my 8 year old made a hedgehog for her art project so... It wasn't great but Carey was really good in it.

I actually drilled the hole in his gun for once!

Anyone nostalgic for RPG's that isn't currently playing, check out the Glass Cannon Podcast. They play Pathfinder but it's all very similar to me. Give it a few episodes, it starts to really pick up. I'm about 80 episodes in now. They're really good at keeping things moving and engaging...

Carl Reiner and Mel Brooks 2000 Year Old man skit in cartoon form. I loved this as a kid.

I'm prepping for the end of Lost Mine of Phandelver, and transitioning into Baldur's Gate: Descent to Avernus. It's going to be the same group of players with brand new characters for the new campaign. I want to somehow tie in the old and new. I'm thinking about linking it to the Green Dragon...

Nice ok that's good to hear. My only concern with Eldrich was that it seemed like a lot of elemental based stuff, and a lot of demons/devils are immune or resistant to fire, cold, thunder, lightning etc. But shield, misty step, ae, haste etc are all great to have.

That looks sweet. I actually want one of those models too .

Yeah I told them pick what you want to play. Then we'll see if there are any gaps. If it was me I'd definitely be rolling a Bard. I'm trying to see if Eldrich Knight is any good. He wants a fighter that has some magic capability. We already have a paladin.

Anyone have any class suggestions for my group to do Descent to Avernus? 5 players. Right now the classes being bandied about are: Paladin Eldrich Knight Tempest/War Cleric or Divine Soul Sorcerer Warlock Ranger They are worried about going into hell and not being effective because whatever...

I'm listening to the Glass Cannon podcast just recently. They play Pathfinder but super similar as I'm sure everyone here knows. The Half Orc Ranger always uses his heritage for RP stuff which makes it fun. Hating Giants and ogres. The episode I just listened to they made a point to say how...

I like alignments, but it's never been set in stone that I've seen. It's there if you want it for RP I suppose. Similar to favored enemy. If your Ranger HATES Giants... you could always come across one you need to cooperate with. Or conversely have a situation where it makes sense to not...

Yeah see that's crazy to me. It's all trending towards mud, no distinctions. Drow are most certainly evil. That's what allows Drizzt to be distinctive. I mean... what? They live in the underdark and worship a demon. Kill people, take slaves, blood sacrifice. That's first ballot hall of...

Oh yeah 100% agree there. If you're talking a Thanos type of motivation, where he thinks he's right, rather than a generic "I want to rule the world!!!" guy. Yeah I'm on board with that. Even if it's something simple like they want more land and they hate Humans/Dwarves/Elves/Whatever, so take...

Misunderstood Orc is more played to me. It's very predictable at this point. When did they do that with Orcs in WoW? Feels like it's been like this a long time and it's over done.

Alright, I'm 99% sure we are doing Baldur's Gate. I'm getting hyped for it. Still have to finish Phandelver though.

Anyone have a good rec on a next DnD 5e campaign? We'll be done with Lost Mine of Phandelver soon. We want something that is at least up to level 10 These are the 4 I'm looking at: Curse of Strahd Tomb of Annihilation Ghosts of Saltmarsh Baldur's Gate: Descent into Avernus

I'll probably watch this only because I grew up in Staten Island.

I was very meh about the necrons, but some of them look pretty awesome. I'm def getting the box.

Hah yup it was exactly like that. 12d6 damage! Halved... halved again... ok 11 damage wtf. I allowed the Spirit weapon flanking then immediately went right at the Cleric who cast it and killed him. I'm going to have a rematch in Wave Echo Cave. To the death. No punches pulled.

WELL! Apparently Dwarves are poison resistant. So a successful Constitution save was 1/4 damage total. It was a lot of death. They revived each other with heal potions. Venomfang used 3 breath attacks, grapple, drop, and go hide in 3/4 cover. Feather fall saved the mage, he then Magic...

Yeah the thing is I don't want to wipe the party. I'm trying to figure out how to make it so the dragon rips through them, but they dont all die. He will fly away after 50% hp is gone. Party has between 23 and 38 hp. So one breath can wipe them lol. One bite could kill a player. I'm...

Do you guys follow Kickstarter or how are you aware of all these? Do they advertise or something?

Yeah I'm thinking lead off with the breath, and I'd love to grab one of them, fly up and drop them. Just for dramatic effect. I don't know the rules around this though. Grapple I'd guess, and I'm sure they have some saves or something. Have him fly up into cover. Not sure what else. If things...

Does anyone have a good reference on how to run combat in DnD 5e? I mean a real basic tutorial on using a monster stat block to have them fight effectively. I just want to make sure I'm not missing anything. Last night I got the party to come into Venomfangs lair. I told them I wanted to...

Haha see that's great. I feel like it has to be really hard. This is our first game and first Dragon. We'll see how it goes. 2 fighters, cleric, rogue, mage. They've been steamrolling everything. I'm going to lure them in and breathe poison on them.

I'm running Lost Mines of Phandelver and the party is in Thundertree. They're being pussies about the dragon. They want to leave and come back at 5th level. I'm probably going to force it. It seems like it's meant to be done at level 3 or 4 the most. I'm going to set it up that if they leave...

I can only see the mistakes at this point lol, but I think this is actually pretty good for me. Improvement.

Looks good to me! Phone or camera? I just added Snapseed to my phone to play around with. Came recommended by a lot of people.

Yah that looks fantastic. Thanks for that NMM tutorial as well. I may try that next mini. Here's where I'm at now. AK Interactive Ultra Matte Varnish over my base coat.
