3D-printed Base for Paper Miniatures
You probably know that paper minis are awesome. What makes them even more so are removable bases. They let you store your collection pretty much flat, and allow you to use bases to designate and distinguish between enemies. There are other options out there, but none of them are from Read more

This is about turning parts of a video game into adventure material. In case you were wondering, a spitting frog inspired our journey to the Tikoids (or Tikis for short).
