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...

I wanted to let folks know about a special deal I am running on my latest game.  Grimme Perils: 2D6 Gritty Fantasy is now available as a POD book through Lulu Publishing. I am running a special, one month, (11/7 - 12/7) 20% off deal on this book. You can find it here:  Grimme Perils HC You can also find the spiral binding version here:  Grimme Perils Spiral Thanks for looking!  --Scott

 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

 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

 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 ...

 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
