Where are we in the Dracula story? He's moved in, found a great place to live. And great neighbors, as well. They can be a bit loud, but they are insane so that is to be expected. Episode 4 takes us to the ruins of Carfax. Dracula has moved in but hasn't had time to... Continue Reading →
For Episode 3, we find the poor Lucy has died. No one has told her that, yet, but she died. She was dead and buried for her eternal rest. Again, no one thought to get positive confirmation back from her that she was aware of the eternal portion. So, it's off to the graveyard to... Continue Reading →
Count Dracula's vacation has not been going well. His travel agent, Mr. Harker, took ill. His wives are nagging him. And you know how difficult it can be to find good hired hands in Transylvania.

I've been very lax about posting, obviously. But I have been working on the terrain and miniatures to play all of the Dracula Episodes. There is a lot of terrain. I may have bitten off more than I should. Which is fine, but I'm a little sick of all of the terrain. It's not the... Continue Reading →

Lurkers from the Deep: Episode 5 definitely has an interesting board. Lots of opportunities for creativity and for finding odd solutions for the terrain features. Previously I showed the work on the central dais and megaliths (found the right term) that dominate the game board. One part was missing, the actual altar piece. Crooked Dice... Continue Reading →
Devils Reef continues to take shape. With the mass of islands completed, I get to move on to the big center piece of the whole board. I'm not sure what to call this section. There is an altar, there are pillars, there's this raised platform. But it's not itself an altar. It's not itself a... Continue Reading →
Episode 5 has a lot of flat terrain to paint. It's a 4'x4' table that is supposed to be the exposed parts of a reef where bad guys are doing bad things while the good guys attempt to race in to go good things. I feel that is a sufficient description. I should be an... Continue Reading →
