Here's another puzzle video (albeit a simple one):

Here's a quick look at how the sci-fi hab-units are shaping up.

In the first video/pdf I'll be showing how to make the buildings themselves (in various sizes), and in the second one I'll be adding more details/greebles.

Hopefully it will be worth the wait :)

I've been working on some new #scifi terrain :)

Pictured first is the main structure (which is close to being finalised), and in the second picture you can see my initial prototype (which shows how I'm planning on adding doors, windows, and various greebles

My latest video is live... and in this one I've included a puzzle/trap encounter to accompany the dungeon tiles that I've been making: youtu.be/hlBPxDyv4ro

Hope you like it!

Here's a picture of the 12 episodes that I released over on the channel in 2025 (not including challenges, announcements, bonus videos, etc.).

I also have a couple of pictures of what's coming next in my latest newsletter (if that's of interest):

Age of Fantasy Quest: Game 1 “Right then… keep yer mouths shut.” whispered Ulskrag as he peered down the broad steps and strung his bow. “There’s bound to be some of tho...

Following on from my last post, here's a bat-rep style blog post of my first real solo battle using the Age of Fantasy: Quest rules.

I'm playing as an orc patrol in the halls of Moria during Balin's failed re-colonisation attempt.

Gearing up to play some solo games... starting with Age of Fantasy: Quest (by #onepagerules ).

I've posted a quick intro over on the blog...

...with more to follow :)

Here's a quick look (in an attempted 'fly-by' shot) of some of my dwarven terrain (that I've put together for a few Moria-esque games)

Tutorials on how to make it all can be found over on my channel: youtube.com/@CrookedStaf...

(note that it's just paper printouts glued to cardboard)

P.S. if you are a Patreon Supporter / YouTube member, then check the latest post on the relevant platform for this year’s bonus file ;)

YouTube video by Crooked Staff Terrain Supporter Video 02 : niche/shelf passage

Last year I released this bonus video/pdf for my patreon supporters and youtube members.

So, as you can see, this year I thought I’d make it available to everyone else as an early Xmas gift:

youtu.be/0A4DySyehnw

It’s not much – but it might be something you can put to use.

I backed this Kickstarter a while back (from Archmage Press )... and it arrived today!

It's a DMless / solo / co-op adventure for D&D (with some similarities to the fighting fantasy books) - and it also comes with some double-sided battlemaps.

With any luck I'll give it a try over Xmas :)

I think the pdf for my next encounter video is done.

Now, this one does rely on the players keeping a map of the dungeon - but seeing as how that's becoming a bit of a lost art, I've included one they can find (as a player handout) along the way (plus there's space for a few GM notes too).

#dnd

Thanks :)

There’s a good chance that this might be my last video/release of 2025 (how time files 😅)… and in it I’m showing how you can put some of my new (dwarven themed) textures to use:

Seeing as how it's taking a while for me to get the next episode done, there's a little preview video in this month's newsletter (amongst other things):

#ttrpg #dnd #terrain #youtube #miniaturepainting

Here's a quick look at some of the new bits n pieces used alongside some of the existing 'Dwarven' terrain

(there's also a 2nd pic of the new textures)

I hope to film the tutorial next week… but until then, feel free to check out the rest of the range:

Now that I've finished my dwarves, it's time to move on to some Tolkienesque orcs (all of which will be kitbashed/convereted in some way).

Here's a pic of the first batch :)

#minipainting #miniatures #mesbg #dnd #oathmark #orcs

#heroquest was always my brother's game growing up (I had Advanced HQ later on)... but seeing as how it's on sale for £19.99 on Amazon, I thought I'd pick it up

(this is the version with the cardboard standees and the double sided map - so there's only 5 actual mini's to paint ;) )

I've finally got around to writing up my 5th (and final) blog post about building (and quickly painting) a cheap fantasy dwarf army for #onepagerules regiments:

I have a poll running over on Patreon concerning the layout of my next pdf file:

www.patreon.com/posts/laying...

Note that you don't need to be a paid member to vote (it should work with a free account) - but you do need an account unfortunately.

Anyway, as always, any input is appreciated 🙂 🙂 🙂

Nice (the shields really do fit the orcs well, and give them a nice menacing look).

Thanks :)

Testing out a few kitbash ideas for a black numenorean and a couple of orcs at his command.

These are 99% northstar bits (the only thing that isn't is the cloak)... and they're just blu-tacked together at the moment.

Quite happy with them so far :)

#miniaturepainting #mesbg #dnd #onepagerules

Here's part of a layout I'm working on for my next (Moria themed) 'Five Leagues from the Borderlands' game.

(Next I'll be working of a few different floor tile designs to add a bit of colour here and there)

It took longer than I thought it would to get these little lamps done... but I got there in the end

Anyway, this is a prototype for my next terrain video over on YouTube: www.youtube.com/c/CrookedSta...

...which I hope to get out later this month (fingers crossed)

Here's a couple of pic's of some new (papercraft-ish) walls I've been developing.

#ttrpg #dnd #mesbg #dungeonsanddragons #terrain

Here's a couple of pic's I found on my hard drive of a 'Five Leagues from the Borderlands' game I played through last year (it's a continuation of my Moria game).

I also found my notes, and so have been able to do a bat-rep style write up over on the blog:

www.crookedstaff.co.uk/2025/11/five...

I didn't get to start #orctober until there was just over a week to go - but I did manage to slap some paint on a few metal models that I have lying around (from various manufacturers).

(I just about got one done per night on the day's that I managed to work on them :) )

#minipainting #dnd #ttrpg

I've been working on some dwarf themed terrain again - and this time, it's the dwarven warrior relief/effigies that you can see decorating these walls

As always, there is a video showing how to put them together here: youtu.be/8j0djuRWKC8

(and a link to the pdf is in the description)
