Map Mounted

I finally mounted the Darlene Greyhawk Map on a piece of foam board, it's not perfect, but is more than good enough for game purposes.  It's actually much more convenient to use than my old 1980 copy, since it is a single piece, slightly smaller, but still big enough.

Map musings

I think what I may do with my Greyhawk map is to glue each half-map onto its own piece of foam board and just butt them together in use.   Trying to glue them both onto the same sheet, and then getting them to match nicely, seems to me to be a recipe for disaster and disappointment.  As Homer Simpson says, "trying is the first step toward failure, never try."


I was looking at various you tube videos, and while many suggested using spray adhesive, I think that "archive quality glue sticks" might be the route to take for me:  more wiggle-room and ability to take things slowly, part by part.

Working on my "To Be Painted" Bin

First, a squad of medieval polearm guys

Second, a dark ages European archer and an Asian Archer (I have no idea where either of them came from), and 2 were-rats in bed sheets.

A Little Painting

I painted a set of 5 Robin Hood miniatures I bought, I think back when were about to briefly play Traveller a year and half ago or so.  They were already based and primed, and I was up for some painting.

I tried a "parchment" colored wash instead of the miracle dip.   It isn't so overwhelming, but also isn't quite as good in bringing out the detail as the dip is.   The "Little John" figure is the best (second from the right), I could totally see using him for a ranger PC.
