- How-TosIn this category of how-tos, you will find articles about the nature and use of gaming aids in general and those made from paper in particular. Why do I need How-Tos for Paper Models? Several reasons. Obviously, they need to be built. I have said it before and I will again, these models and miniatures are easy to make, but it does not hurt to know how. They mostly come with instructions (I know all of mine do), but there are still different techniques and approaches that you might want to read up about. Secondly, the idea behind all this is to be inspired, and there are certainly more and less traditional ways to use any given piece. You can modify paper miniatures easily, and there are a number of ways to go about that, too. Paper scenery also comes with an obvious way to use, but there is always so much more, and it cannot hurt to hear about some others ideas. In turn, maybe you can come up with a use no one has thought about before. In that case, I hope you let me know so that I can share it!
- PapercraftHaving something to fuel your imagination when it comes to roleplaying encounters can be a great thing. Not only does a map make sure that everyone knows what is there and what is not. Having actual papercraft to represent walls, crates and of course the enemies can make any encounter more enthralling and enticing. Do I need Papercraft? Sure, you can make it work with imagination alone, and sometimes that might even be the better solution (because there are some things even the best models cannot do). But in general, having some kind of reference will make things run more smoothly and prevent misunderstandings. Even if it is just a grid with tokens for the participants. In this category, you can find all my proper models. Use them to enrich and to inspire. As usual, they come with the inherent ability to make as many as you need for your game. But they also have a background story and several adventure hooks for your planning pleasure. I hope you enjoy them, and as always, let me know what you think!
- Let’s kill a GodThere comes a time in every reckless adventurer’s life when they get bored. One of the less wholesome ways to deal with that feeling is to think, “Let’s kill a god!”. This series of articles deals with the many ways in which deities can be ended or otherwise removed from their positions. While that may look like a great way to just get killed with a divine vengeance, it might actually be what aged adventurers need to feel the thrill of the chase once again. Each article (after the introductionary ones) will deal with a different type of deity (to make this work with as many systems as possible) and outline a way to remove them from office, so to speak. So, no matter which god you are after, eventually this will answer your call when you say, “Let’s kill a god!”.
