"I push him over the ledge!"

I haven’t had this much fun in quite a while”?  It happens from time to time, and hopefully more often than not. I remember the first time that happened with Dungeons & Dragons 4E.  I built “The Shrine” quite hastily (pictured right)

Castle Terrain... Just Cool

3D Battle Maps, with Pics!

I’m a very visual gamer – I like me some props, pics, and 3d battle maps. Here are some 3D terrain battle maps that I’ve created over the past couple of years, originally posted over at Roleplaying Pro. John Lewis also makes excellent 3D battle maps, so hopefully more will be posted by him. Pretty cool, huh?
