Day Four

The dice are packed up. Another Geekfest over.

 

 

 

 

 

This years theme song.

 

 

 

 

 

Day Three

Day three say the jousting take place. After 5 rides the dwarfs ended in a draw. The basic rules were modified to allow un-ramed (horsed) riders to win initiative and attack.

The module used for Geekfest. Well worn and easily modified for use
with Basic Fantasy Rules.

 

 

In the thick of a tense game of Dominion.

Day Two

New age D&D skypeing in from the U.S. for a session.!




One of our group skyping in from the US.

Day One

                                                    Mikes hard vs. Vex Mango passion...

 

 

Geekfest begins with the rolling of the "round" 20 sider.

 

The "round" d20. I think this die has been around since the first time our DM played his first game!

 

 

 

Free RPG Day

Picked up these Quick Start Rules up at Worlds Collide in Oshawa. Maybe I'm just getting old or to lazy to read rules, but could they make them any more laborious. Really makes me long for Basic D&D.

 

 The Star Wars games looks pretty cool, Battletech  Ho Hum... the Patherfinder is just a module.

 

 

 

Star Wars, BattleTech (Shadow Run) and a Pathfinder Module.







My representation of our DM in a game of D&D

This is how I bought the mini, I added the base.
(The DM is the guy with the axe)

We are the poor chumps over the stump...

I love these old Ral Partha mini's.

 

The severed head, 2 views. I really wanted this
shot to work out.

 

The Halfling

I just had to paint this little guy. He is just barely 2cm high. One of the

most frustrating miniatures I have ever painted. He looks better when you don't see him magnified.

Serious shot.

Action shot, I was trying to make it like he was moving.




 

 



Emily's Castle

A little project me and Emily are working on.

Once upon a time a lizard lived in a tower guarded by 5 knights. When one day
someone stole the treasure from the tower.
The lizard went out to find the treasure.

While the lizard was away a fierce nasty killer rabbit moved in...

The Lizard returned with what he thought were

Kung Fu Pandas.

 

 

The Rabbit quickly attacked the Pandas

with all his rabbity fury.

 

 

One by one he dispatched the pandas.

 

 

 

In a rage he chased away the pandas.

 

The three surviving pandas left in disgrace. The lizard was

no where to be seen. But the tresure was back in the castle...

The Dwarf Cavalry are done!!

The cavalry are done! I tell ya I like painting metal, and painting these old style mini's.

It seems easier to bring out the details with just shading and a real basic style of painting.

Dwarven Jousting Tourney

Yes. I built a jousting field for Dwarves. The Dwarf riders haven't arrived yet, but they will be cool.
I will be using modified rules from TSR's Chainmail rules from 1975...

Stage 1: fence, grass, worn area where jousters shall joust.

The little tents are made using templates from Wargames illustrated.
