So, I felt my Christmas tree was too safe, so I sculpted some Mimic Ornaments to hide in the branches. Actually I have sculpted the first Christmas Ball a year ago, but it was already too late to publish so I've saved it for a year and made him a couple friends.

While not quite minis, I felt it is still fitting to share and well you can still put them on a table for you next D&D game.

The giftbox mimic actually opens and closes and can be used as a dice jail or, well, a giftbox. Just make sure to scale to size. And it can be assembled without any other tools though I've made a hole in the hinge and you can use a little wire or nail to reinforce it.

If you have access to a 3d printer - they are available on my MyMiniFactory page https://www.myminifactory.com/object/3d-print-mimic-christmas-balls-725687, https://www.myminifactory.com/object/3d-print-mimic-giftboxes-725688, and here some links to my to my other socials https://linktr.ee/gloomykidminis . I am trying to make sculpting minis my fulltime job, so you can expect more stuff =)

As I began DM’ing my latest D&D campaign, “The Ruins of Alabar,” I became enamored with the idea of creating an animated title sequence for it. I was inspired by the end credits of the D&D movie to use an illuminated manuscript style. I drew all the art digitally except the map at the beginning, which was done with ink and calligraphy pens.

I then broke the 18 artworks into 112 separate layers and animated them in Adobe After Effects. This required learning some techniques and features I had never used before, such as manipulating virtual cameras and lights, setting up layers to cast realistic 3D shadows, and making the gold leaf reflective.

The entire project took about five weeks. The music is “El Dorado” by Two Steps From Hell.

The different artworks cover plot beats in the campaign, as well as the player characters’ backstories and anticipated character arcs. For instance, the bountiful valley at 0:28 references the cleric’s hometown, and the fiery books at 1:08 represent the burning of a library in the wizard’s backstory.

My players’ names are shared with their permission.

A few days ago, I went to a local game store to check out a room I could rent. They told me over the phone it would be low cost. However, when I got there they tried to sell me a paid DM. I felt like it was a bait and switch, on top of that it was expensive.

I was sorta of interested as I would get to play. On the other hand, I have come to enjoy being a DM, and prefer the role over being a player. Sure it takes time, but I enjoy taking a few hours a week crafting a story, and adding cool things for my game. It is my escape from some of my real life stress.

The guy I talked to at the store made it seemed that being a DM was bad, yet that is not the case for me.

Who all enjoys being a DM?

I drew this for my friends homebrewed mutated green dragon. I was super honored to be asked to draw it and am stoked for his campaign to start! I just wish this dragon was friendly after drawing him, he's so cool...

Let me introduce you to Anthony, my tabaxi warrior who seeks fame by becoming the greatest duelist of all. I basically wanted to make Puss in Boots (although for the design I used the colors of one of my cats) for a campaign that will start next month. Honestly, I’m really happy with how he turned out!

Alright! This is my first time using the stat block generator and making a proper stat block at all so wording might be a little funny.

Anyway, I want to know if she is too weak or too strong for CR 10? I did my best basing off of other CR 10 creatures to get her right around there, but friendly advice is appriciated. :D
