Tweet Most of the players at my local gaming club are hardcore Warhammer 40K players, and I’ve really wanted to get into miniatures wargaming for a long time. Unfortunately, the minimum up-front cost to get into Warhammer is $300 or more, once you buy models, rulebooks, paints, tools, etc. Plus, I’m already heavily invested in …
Tweet In Necrotic Gnome’s fascinating Dolmenwood campaign setting, adventurers explore an ancient, enchanted forest, filled with haunted ruins, dangerous monsters, mysterious sects, capricious fairy lords, and rival political factions. The beautiful OSR zine, Wormskin, has been the main conduit for Dolmenwood content so far. Necrotic Gnome recently released the eighth issue of Wormskin, so I thought …
Tweet 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 …

And while every Black Pudding feature may not fit into every OSR campaign, West’s rapid-fire writing, exaggerated illustration, expressive hand-lettering …
Tweet PnPG is excited to share the first of what I hope will be a long series of free, downloadable print-and-play game accessories–a PDF of giant toadstool miniatures! I created the first of these as my contribution to the May, 2018 Forum Hoard at the Cardboard Warriors forum, but this is the only place you can …
Tweet The most basic miniature-modding project is formatting a collection of figures onto a single page for printing. You may have accumulated an assortment of miniatures from several sources that you want to print as a set, or perhaps you’ve re-skinned some minis or created your own from scratch, and need to arrange them in …
I’m a tinkerer. When I become interested in a hobby, I don’t want to just buy a kit and follow the directions. I want to take things apart, change them up, and put them back together to make something new. That’s a big part of why I love the print-and-play segment of the gaming hobby—the …
