Frostgrave is 10 Years Old!

Frostgrave is 10 Years Old! To celebrate, I have written the story of its creation, as best as I can remember it, and put it up on my Patreon free to everyone.

As part of the celebration, Osprey Games is releasing a Special Edition of the rulebook.  You don't need it - it doesn't contain anything new - but if you like beautiful books...

The Briarwood Bombers!

 


I finished painting my Wartnose Jousting team! I had a lot of fun with these guys. They are painted with a mixture of traditional and speed paints (the goblin skin, as well as the bodies of the centipede and mole rat). I really enjoyed the bases as there was plenty of room to add bits of scenery - so lots of skulls and broken weapons. 

I've now got one Hairfoot team and one Wartnose team. I figure that way I can meet any challenger on equal terms, or run the game myself pitting the two teams against one another.

The Wisdom of Agatha Christie

'The human mind prefers to be spoon-fed with the thoughts of others, but deprived of such nourishment it will, reluctantly, begin to think for itself - and such thinking, remember, is original thinking and may have valuable results.'

Agatha Christie
from The Moving Finger

Dungeon Update

 

Not the best photo, but I just wanted to show a quick update on my Dungeon progress. It's been slow and steady work, fit around a lot of other painting and modelling. I've still got a bunch of pieces cast, enough for several more sections. 

I've decided my goal, for stage one, is to have all of the dungeon tile pieces that came in the Advanced HeroQuest box set. There is no specific reason for that. It's just something to shoot for and should give me plenty of pieces to make small dungeons.

Gnome Adventurers


A pair of recently painted gnome adventurers for my Dungeon Crawler project. I didn't really have any specific need for gnomes, but these guys just looked fun to paint (and they were). 

Again, these are Reaper Bones figures, I believe from the most recent Kickstarter.

Joseph A. McCullough on Holiday!

 

This is a photograph of my great-great grandfather, and namesake, Joseph A. McCullough. That's him standing up near the front with the great moustache. I don't know the year... though I'm guessing somewhere around 1890?

It's just so a great photo, I thought I would share!
