I set up the table for the game entirely with cardstock, print-and-play terrain that cost me next to nothing to print and assemble. The main terrain features—the ruined church building and the scattered archway ruins—were designed […]

I’d hoped to play Advanced Song of Blades and Heroes last night at my local gaming club’s Monday night meeting. In preparation for the evening’s skirmishes, I prepared three warbands using Ganesha Games’ Warband Calculator, and assembled some new terrain from Dave Graffam Models.

One of the most talented and prolific artists working in the tiny—but growing!—field of printable cardstock miniatures is Jess Jennings, the man behind Trash Mob Minis.

The most basic miniature-modding project is formatting a collection of figures onto a single page for printing.

In the last PnPG tutorial, I showed you how to collect printable miniatures from several PDFs and format them into a one-page PDF for printing. Our sample project was to create a sheet of fourteen red-shirt crewpersons from David Okum’s Where No Man Has Gone Before line. But at the end of the last tutorial, we still had two

An increasing number of print-and-play miniature artists are distributing their work through Patreon these days. (I’ll do an overview of the cardstock minis scene at Patreon soon.) A newcomer who’s caught my attention is Lucas Marko, who’s just started a Patreon page under the name of PaperMini. In his first three months, Marko’s released a dozen
