<t>Thanks Rhuvein. <br/> It was a great post. I thought I found it here earlier last year, or perhaps I saw it in one of his books I'm not sure. <br/> <br/> I also remember him talking about it as if it was a conclusion he had come to after many years of playing. He also talked about combat calculat...

Help Me Find Gary Gygax Explanation of Hit Points

<t>A while back I found a quote of Gary's where he described combat in LA as being abstract, in that losing hit points does not necessarily mean that blood is drawn. The explanation he gave was pretty awesome in that he described the way heroes and bad guys fight in movies, where bullets can graze a...

Can anyone recommend any sites on the net that have collections of street and floor plans from the medieval period?

These new ones look great. Kudos to Don F. Moss!
I really like that last boat you made. It's ideal for a small band of adventurers.

<t>I just tiied painting a figure using oils and mucked it up due to the paint being wet and my brush accidentally touching a different colored part of the figure.<br/> <br/> What I didn't know before I bought my oils is they take 5 days to dry unless you use a hotbox or a crock pot to dry them. So ...

Harry,

I just took delivery of some brushes and oils and am going to start painting a borrowed Uruk-Hai warrior for my first effort. If its not too ugly I'll post it here.
BTW can I ask what range those figures in your pictures came from?

These pictures are great. They remind me of the art in the Tunnels and Trolls modules I bought second hand back in the early 1980s when I first discovered role playing. Good memories.

<t>Thanks for the links Harry Joy and Donald Fairtax Moss. <br/> Since I made that post I've been doing a bit of research on it, but could only find links to sites where the artists used acrylics. I must say I think the oils look a lot better than acrylics as the acrylics look almost chalky by compa...

I'd love to learn how to make figures like that. Are there any sites that specialize in this kind of thing?
