Went on a little adventure today... ...and came back with some treasure :) #ukge #dnd #ttrpg #miniatures

Finished up a little 250pt force of (early war) WW2 British using the OnePageRules 'firefight' rules and a couple of sprues from Wargames Atlantic (which are really nice models BTW :) ). #minipainting #ww2 #miniatures

Made a few more 2D dungeon tiles. Might break out the old advanced #heroquest rulebook later on tonight, and take a character or two on a quick (solo) adventure :)

For my next video I'll be making another dungeon-in-a-box :) However, rather than being something designed to go along with a specific adventure, this time the box will just contain a variety of modular tiles (and stuff). And here's some that I've got done so far: #dnd #ttrpg

A quick update on the next dungeon-in-a-box (the 2" high raised section is the bottom of the box itself). There's still a lot more to do (including making the lid - which will be similar, but only 1" high)... but assembly has paused as I've run out of glue... Doh! #dnd #ttrpg

Here's another update on my next 'dungeon in a box' :) There's still a bit more to do/add... but it's finally starting to come together. (as usual I'll release a video tutorial, and a pay-what-you-want pdf file to accopany it, when it's all finished) #dnd #ttrpg #warhammer

Update on the next dungeon-in-a-box… When laying out the pdf, I was left with a few spaces where I could squeeze in some extra 2x2 tiles… so that's what I've done (I've also shared a pic of the layout of the pdf too) Now I can finally start thinking about filming the video 😅

Here's a couple of pic's from the upcoming 'modular dungeon in a box' episode/tutorial. I've still got a few more things to get finished... but I might be get it all done (and the video released) tomorrow if I'm lucky! #ttrpg #dnd #youtube

My latest terrain tutorial video is live... ...and this time it's another 'travel/portable dungeon' that packs away inside its own box :) youtu.be/Tn2OcXvr0Bo Hope you like it! #dnd #dungeonsanddragons #pathfinder #ttrpg ...and so on ;)

Following on from my last post... ...I've also put a short teaser trailer together to illustrate how the dungeon tiles fit inside the box (it's about 2x speed, but it still packs away pretty quickly). #dnd #ttrpg #dungeonsandaragons #pathfinder #terrain

A while back I released a set of 2D modular dungeon tiles (here's the video: youtu.be/3hrVeTVgVNg ), and I talked about using them for generating random dungeon layouts for solo/co-op play on the blog: crookedstaff.co.uk/2023/03/random… Well, I'm finally getting back to that :) #ttrpg

Managed to get this #skaven jezzail done for #advancedheroquest It's a newer model (rather than the classic one that's featured in the rulebook), and I had to shorten the barrel somewhat to make it better fit a 25x50mm base… …but it should work well enough 🙂 #minipainting

Played a test #advancedheroquest scenario last night to re-familiarize myself with the rules (I laid out tiles in advance & used similar guidelines to the ones for playing on the original HQ board). Things started off well - but went downhill upon discovering the quest room 😅

Did some playtesting with my solo/random dungeon tiles, cards, and tokens again tonight… …and this time the party survived to tell the tale... YAY! (this was a game of #advancedheroquest - but the idea is that they can be used for any system) #sologaming #ttrpg #boardgames

Finished some last minute prep for a #ttrpg at a friends house tomorrow… and that will have to do 😬 (note the chocolate box actually contains a bunch of scatter terrain to liven up my scrawls on the #paizo flip mat that I'll be using 😅) It's also my first #shadowdark game!

Just released a new terrain tutorial video (though it's a bit light on the tutorial part TBH - as there's not much to it ;) ). Anyway, as I say in the video, they'll be useful additions to my existing 2D tile set. youtu.be/BO4QJyKtFx8 #ttrpg #dnd #heroquest #boardgames

It's been a while since my last hobby blog... so it's time for a bit of a catch-up... again: crookedstaff.co.uk/2025/08/playin… #shadowdark #ttrpg #miniaturepainting #youtube

I’ve been thinking of starting a monthly newsletter… just as a kind of ‘monthly round-up’ sort of thing (i.e. something that gets sent to your email). It’s still all pretty new to me – but here’s the link if you’re interested in something like that: crookedstaff.substack.com

I've mentioned my random dungeon cards a few times now… still haven't released them yet… but progress is being made! Basically, I've been writing a sample adventure which I can run through in the video, to help explain things. It all takes time though… but I'm getting there!

Here's a few bits and pieces I've been working on recently (mainly to use in the example dungeon that'll be featured in the next video): #dnd #ttrpg #minipanting #miniaturepainting
