Grimme Additions #1 Released!

Image
The first issue of my  Grimme Additions zine is out! Here's the blurb: William H. Caddell's cover is awesome! Grimme Additions is the official Zine of the Grimme Perils RPG, and this first issue offers a host of new material for players and GMs alike. This issue includes a table to randomly generate weird patrons, new rules on aging, twenty-four new spells, six new traits, twelve new Backgrounds, rules for freeform magic, new combat options, new foes and monsters, and a new scenario, “The Curious Case of the Cattle Killers.” If you love Grimme Perils , it’s time for some Grimme Additions!   Layout artist Todd S. Tuttle did an amazing job incorporating William's creepy cover piece into the #1 cover motif. A lovely touch! Again, you can buy it here from DTRPG , and a physical copy will be available from Lulu in the next couple of weeks.  I hope to release a new issue every three to four months, but that may depend on how this issue is received.  Thanks for checking i...

More Northstar Cultists III Models

Image
 I have slowly beavered away on five more Northstar Cultist III models, making for a gang (coven???) of ten strong.  My opinion remains the same, these models are wonderful, capturing a dark, folk-horror vibe that really gives them character.  Check them out!  I tried to empty the sprue, providing as many weapon options as possible.  I also tried to use as many of the cool packs, bones, bags, etc. as the sprue had to offer.  These guys are phenomenal!  Thanks for reading!  --Scott

Frostgrave Cultists III From Northstar Military Figures

Image
 I got my Frostgrave Cultists III boxes last week and finally had some time to build and paint five of them.  I love this kit, and I think it's one of the best Northstar has done so far.  I used Army Painter Speed Paints for this scheme. Black and red is always such a classic combo.  I love the variety of bits you get on this frame.  The dynamic poses and options make this kit a winner.  If you were on the fence about these figures, I would urge you to take the plunge, or even use a service like Spruedude to try just one frame.  Thanks for reading!  --Scott

Grimme Perils POD Copies Available On Lulu!

Image
 After some time for setup and proof approval, my Grimme Perils TTRPG is now available in POD form on Lulu's web site. You can buy the spiral binding right now-- click here!  It's $25.95 USD + shipping, and appropriately priced in other parts of the world as well.  Spiral on the left, HC on the right.  The dust-jacketed hardcover version will be available starting on November 7. Why the two week delay? I wanted to setup a special promotional price for folks because this version will be pricey! Here is the price breakdown by region:  So the USA version will retail for $42.99. The discount I am setting up will offer 25% off this price across all of Lulu's USA and international points of sale. So if you want to wait for the fancy version, I hope this will make it worth your consideration.  Here's another shot of the final spiral binding:  I never tire of seeing these great covers.  Here are some more detailed shots of the amazing quality of the Lulu ...

RPG Painting Update

Image
 As I ready for my October 25th session of my Grimme Perils RPG , I am painting up some more minis to be used in the game.  What follows is a mix of North Star, Wargames Atlantic, and a deep cut of West Wind / Old Glory Vampire Wars Child Vampires!  While I had painted a different set of the Child Vampires up years ago and lost them in my wanderings, re-obtaining and painting them has reminded me just how creepy and cool they are!  I am super excited to run this game! Thanks for reading!  --Scott

More Grimme Perils Projects

Image
 I wasn't thinking I would do any other projects this year in the wake of releasing Grimme Perils ,  a 200 page TTRPG just a few weeks ago.  I wanted to rest and recharge my batteries, but I have since run a few GP games and I am more enthused than ever to create for it and add support to its cause. In keeping with this, I have decided to release two new things in the Grimme Perils  family.  One is a set of Quick-Start rules featuring the basic mechanics and four sample characters. My plan is to give this away for free on Drivethru RPG.  The second is a new support Zine called Grimme Additions . It will include new D66 tables, Traits, Bespoke Magic rules, new Spells, and a brand new Scenario. My hope is that I can get these two out by Halloween, but we'll see. I plan to reuse a lot of art, but provide new covers. I am super excited about the cover William H. Caddell has done for GA #1, and Todd S. Tuttle crushed the design on this.  Keep in mind, this ...
