Happy Halloween, folks! Feliz Dia de los Muertos!
I've walked back from the Neitherworld to go Trick or Treating, and after much effort, here are the quick and dirty results this year: (I'd post in more detail, but it's already time to get the kids up for school, and you only have a few hours left to hunt yourself!)

Well, good news and bad news, folks. On the plus side, OBS Halloween Sales are in full effect as of yesterday. On the minus, no sign or merest mention of Trick or Treating this year - we'll have to hope that it happens next week. I checked all the usual suspect pages, too. For now you can check out the offers on RPGNow and kin. I've linked the main sales page for RPGNow's Halloween sales, and their special bundle offers. "You have 14 days, 23 hours and 31 minutes to get some spooky savings! Also, go door-to-door for more Halloween treats on DriveThruCards, DriveThruComics and DriveThruFiction!" Doesn't that sound like what they used to say for the treasure hunt/trick or treating? :/

Next year I think I have it worked out for a good way to do a corn maze, but I'm not sure which way is the best way to do it. Would you guys think 2d rows that interlock would be best, or should I consider the 3d version, based off Tommygun's blast barricades? Hiya, Vermin King! Hope everyone's prepping for a horrifyingly fun Halloween You appear to have forgotten the corn maze I made for the Halloween Wars three years ago [ Forum Hoard September 2013, Halloween Wars 2 download] I took the original OneMonk, Jim Hartman's corn rows (from here), extended them, made up a field using his earthen and grass textures, designed a maze, and wrote up some plot hooks to go along with it. Along with plenty of references to most of the best of Cardboard Warriors' Halloween creations to that date You can see pics of the build here in the forums. Unfortunately it wasn't a full-fledged adventure as I'd not had enough playing experience - much less DMing or adventure-design experience - to do a proper job of it. Never fear, the Picnic Adventures is still a thing, and I'll be re-running this scenario this weekend, adapting it for D&D5E and possibly Hero Kids. Please, have a peek, see what you can make of it. There's a empty field map-tile you can adapt to make a field of almost any size, and/or use as the base for a corn maze with the extended or regular rows, and a small corn-maze I designed as well. If I can get this properly written up, I may publish it one day, linking back to the model with will be free so long as our mighty Hordes/Hoards stand... P.S. Thanks again to old squirmydad for fixing the tops of the cornstalks in the final files. While I like the white better when these are handcut, I'd not realized the problems they would have caused for auto-cutters. P.P.S. I set the corn rows in slits in the foamcore, and it worked wonderfully. Stable &/or storable, your choice. P.P.P.S. Thank you, oldschooldm, for shouting out my witchy avatar in your magnificent entry for the PaperCut Awards this August. I modded Jim's original to better resemble myself, used it for my avatar, but lost the files - including the full modded mini file - in a bad hard-drive failure a couple of years back. I think there is still the single hard copy hanging around somewhere... P.P.P.P.S. (ridiculous! ) chiefasaur, you too might want to take a peek...

Thanks, wyvern! I really need to get back to you guys, I've been missing you. I've been trying to come back, keep getting slammed with other projects. When I get home from helping out my sister and her imminent baby, I've got a slew of terrain to make up... Got the toner sorted, just need my husband to figure out why we have to reset all the printer settings every day...

My vote is for Masters of the Universe - ran into a Castle Grayskull toy set online, watched a parody video on YouTube, and the Conan movies last week. Would love to see heman/Adam, she-ra, and all the rest of the gang. But you know I prefer your hand drawn stuff (which is only getting better!) and there may not be enough time,,,

Well, I apologize, I'd thought I'd already posted this list, but as I had to stop and start so many times, it's small wonder I misremembered. Here's the definitive list of all paper mini, battle map, and terrain publisher I could find on RPGNow participating in the Xmas in July Sale. Each of these publishers has at least something of small interest, while I've tried to star the more interesting/important ones (IMHO), and added notes on a couple. It ends later today, so get cracking if you haven't already!

Thanks, wyvern! Yup, I've been using up all my hobby time playing instead of crafting. Who would have guessed that after a year and a half of chasing down a game or two every couple of months, I'd now be playing 2-3 times a week! That is going to be slowing down now, though, as my husband's shifts are ending a little later, and I'll be focusing my efforts on DMing for Adventurers League with the upcoming Rage of Demons storyline. The amount of terrain I'll be crafting, I'm taking a serious look at getting a new printer with continuous ink supply, and a silhouette if I can find one at a decent price here in Canada... Oh, and I've been picking up materials to run a Diablo II tabletop campaign since last Xmas, and Brave Adventures' Beastmen will be perfect P.S. I've drafted a more complete list of papercraft participating publishers on my hubby's computer - it's still so long that I think I'll post it as straight names rather than the more time-intensive links. My cart's bursting at the seams!

Fat Dragon Tom wanted to give back to Reaper, who awesomely let him use their minis in all of his photos for the line. So as the newest Kickstarter crossed the $2.35 Million mark, all backers got access to 3 Fat Dragon Games sets: the Ravenfell Core Set (from FDG's own 2014 KS), and three E-Z Tiles sets - Wilderness, Dungeons, and Village Streets. There's just under 5 hours left to back the Reaper Bones 3 Kickstarter, and you can start as small as $1 for the a la carte add-ons, or go whole hog by building on the Core Set pledge for $100. This year's centrepiece is a Colossal sized five headed dragon ("Tia-not") that dwarfs the official models for the beast, and is beyond the range of all practicality for papercraft But there are lots of little gems in there as well, so if you feel like starting another gaming crafting hobby, or all ready have the painting bug, be sure to check it out ASAP! /

Hey Everyone! I hope your summer is going swell (or winter, for those of our paper crafty friends on the southern side of the Earth)! Time once again to celebrate Christmas in July with lots of goodies on sale at RPGNow & DriveThruRPG, as well as their sister sites DriveThruCards, DriveThruComics, and DriveThruFiction (phew!). Oh, and WargameVault calls theirs the Summer Campaign Sale! It just started an hour ago, and I’ve begun skimming through to see what stuff might be of interest to papercraft collectors, buyers, and builders. Cardboard Warriors publishers will be set off in bold and come first. Please correct me if I’ve missed any newcomers as I’ve not been able to get on to the forums for more than a peek lately. All links will be for RPGNow for now, but be sure to replace “rpgnow.com” for your favourite alternative if you are particularly interested in a publisher, because sometimes they may have stuff on DriveThruRPG or WargameVault that hasn’t made its way to RPGNow, yet. Confusing? I hope not Here are the Cardboard Warriors: 8radgames Arcknight Armor Grid Games and Miniatures *Brave Adventures* DARKMOOK Paper Miniatures Dave Graffam Models DramaScape Fat Dragon Games Ganesha Games Grey Matter Games Josedominguez Kev's Lounge Lord Zsezse Works Michael The Haggard Mystic Mountain Productions Nemo Works Octopus Apocalypse Okumarts Games PERMES Pigmi Games Reivaj Minis Tinkering TomHere are the other maps, tiles, minis, and terrain papercraft publishers: (0's to A's so far - I'll update as I continue to go through them...) 0 hr: art & technology9th Level GamesA Hole In The Ground Terrain & GamesAAW GamesAlea Publishing GroupArid Hills ProductionsArion GamesAssassin GamesAvalon Game Company...

Today only, E-Z DUNGEONS: Deluxe Edition from Fat Dragon Games is discounted 70% from its normal price of $11.99 to $3.60 at DriveThruRPG.com. I just got the email from DriveThruRPG, so you've got just under 24 hours for this deal, to get the classic, super-duper set that will fulfill all your dungeon terrain needs...until you really get bit by the papercraft bug. (By the by, I should be returning to the forums in full swing in a couple of weeks, with a possible new printer and auto cutter...)

The 2015 FDG Kickstarter Campaign, Wilderness Adventures, is now over! 695 backers raised $57,508, and all but the last stretch goal were reached. Tom's honouring the $58K 3D Boulders & Rockslide because it was reached for a little while just near the end. Now begins the hard work - equal parts patience and pestering Tom for the goodies to get into our inboxes Until then, get printing and building and playing!!!

Just reached the Lizardfolk Camp at $46K, which I'm really happy about. My fellow Adventurers League players & I have visited two different lizardfolk camps in the last six months, and it would have been great to have them then. But now I can look forward to having the set available when I'm running Hoard of the Dragon Queen, and/or Drums in the Marsh, along with all the numerous swampy goodies...

This is truly the most exceptional, the most gorgeous paper model I have ever seen. I think it would be so very hard to top it, that I'm ready to declare you the winner, hands down, of this year's Papercut Awards, a full six months in advance. You are a great inspiration to all of us! And your players are the envy of us all as well

Hi guys, just popping my head in, will be back on the weekend to catch up. I got an email about an item I've had on my wishlist for a while, and thought that maybe more of you might be interested in this - Creative Mountain Games' LURCH! The Zombie Chess Game is part of a 1-day (now extended to 2-days) flash sale. Here's the email I got (also a outlet for d30 fun!): ---------------------------------- Hello, A few folks mentioned that their first notification of this came with too little time to react, so I have extended this for a day (Two Days for One Dollar?). To repeat the previous message for those who may have missed it . . . I have noticed recently while crunching the numbers that even though sales are good, I have a huge number of folks who pick up the freebies but don't purchase anything. My thinking on this is that while they might not be against using PDFs, they don't value them (at least not as highly as others might). I'd like to see if I can change that. To that end, I have discounted three products that are different enough from one another to give some idea of the range of CMG offerings available. I have set up a $1 coupon for each (not one dollar off, but one dollar for each product) but it is only good for a day, so they need to be used quickly. Hopefully, if you haven't purchased a CMG product yet, you will take this time to give something a try. Or, if you simply want to take advantage of the sale to pick up one of the three you do not have (or all of them), then by all means have at it. I'd also appreciate it if folks spread the word to their gamer friends through messageboards and social media. The links will work for anyone who uses them in this short time frame. 30 Things Can Happen - rpg.drivethrustuff.com/browse.php?discount=936e6724fbLURCH! The Zombie Chess Game - rpg.drivethrustuff.com/browse.php?discount=936f61fb3bSuperstitions - rpg.drivethrustuff.com/browse.php?discount=936fea2878Thank you for your patronage. All the best, Mark CMG CreativeMountainGames.com

I'm more excited about this than any map in a long time. First off, it's a location that would fit in with the kind of gaming I love. Secondly, the lightness/brightness of it means that it should print up nicely even on my cantankerous printer! Best of all, it looks really nice, it's really well laid out, leading to multiple and extensive use...

Ok, now to catch up on the several hours worth of posts between when I began and finished my one above aaron, I think the colouration is much better on your pond now, although the gradient is oddly shaped - I'd expect it to roughly emulate the shape of the shoreline. Unfortunately, the pond still seems to sit on the surface, beading up like water on a waterproofed deck. I think you'd have better luck if you put the pond on the bottom layer, but the grass texture on top, and gradually feather-erased the grass to reveal the pond (similar to what I did with my garden plot/cornfield tiles in the 2013 Halloween hoard with you). Even better if you have a middle layer of brown silty/muddy shore between the grass-line and waterline...

Most of those New Zealand rivers show what I'm talking about - muted green or brown, with blue reflections of the sky. The glacial-melthunderer fed Waikato River is the exception; but upon closer examination, it seems to be flowing over a very light coloured substrate rock. So it's very clear water, with little to no suspended organic or mineral matter, and isn't stirring up mud from the bottom either. Thanks for the pics, wyvern! What's the underlying material of the Little Green lake, cowboyleland? Similarly solid or predominantly chunky light-coloured rock? Of course my experience is coloured by the bulk of my experience, which is with waterbodies and -courses heavily impacted by the Acadian forest, tannic soils, conifers, bogs, salt marshes and the like - most often clear brown waters which reflect the sky in deep blues. I think mproteau (Paper Realms) gives good advice for this specific instance...

I'd love to see the gypsy set released soon, it'd be a nice addition to Fiddler's Green and Dryw's gypsy wagons. Actually, I could see the set doing quite well overall, as the gypsy trope comes up in settings like D&D's Ravenloft, and Pathfinder's Golarion - in fact several of the most popular PF adventures are set in Varisia, homeland to a gypsy-like people. Your meticulous style would also be fantastic should you ever want to tackle designing gypsy wagons yourself. I've gathered some lovely, detailed images of historical designs, very easily to translate to papercraft with a little time and more skill that I've got As for the mer-gypsy, she almost appears to be in danger of being harpooned by the pirate shadow in the background...

The biggest critique that jumps out to me is not textures so much as colour, and that's an issue I've had with Fat Dragon's as well. There is no way in nature that you'd have water as blue as that - the pond bottom alone would prevent that. Only the most tropical, transparent waters come across that bright and blue, largely because they are over sea beds of white sand (silica, bleached coral and shell fragments)*. Over an earth or even rock layer, the water would be brown, perhaps with other colours mixed in. If the pond itself gets disturbed, the bottom sediment (sand, mud, muck, debris), and anything suspended in the water itself, would make the water murky, not clear like this appears. Now, if the water is highly reflective and showing those reflections, then you would get flashes and hints of a potentially blue sky, but it would still usually appear a few to several shades darker than the sky itself...
* Well, aside from water coloured by poisonous minerals and/or microorganisms).

BuildingsDave Graffam has been adding steampunk elements and buildings to his line of buildings recently linkFat Dragon Games has a couple of steampunk vehicles (an airship, and steam powered drill) in its Boilers & Cogs section, and has also been introducing steampunk elements and layers into its most recent series, Ravenfell. VehiclesAt the archive of the Cardboard Warriors' much earlier incarnation (carefully preserved by squirmydad), you can find a collection of free steam tanks, and a few other odds and ends among the pieces here. That's what pops to mind, after Squirmydad's various constructions Under the name "Mayhem in Paper", his Cog Cruisers are for sale at RPGNow, but he also has a full page of earlier, free models tucked away at his old website.

Well... in fact I'm little scared, as these creatures you've just mentioned are enough for a whole... series! (so kinda: humans under-water, underwater animals, underwater beast/creatures= fantasy and sci-fi, then last but not least underwater NON-humans -- which would gather all previously mentioned but with some non-human features/poses/accessories etc!) ... You're quite right. It's long surprised me how little attention figurine manufacturers generally (not just paper minis) have paid to this whole vast area, despite it featuring in various novels and movies for generations. In a fantasy or science-fiction setting, undersea activities for intelligent air-breathers with access to magic or high enough technology shouldn't be a problem, and there are some splendid undersea battlemaps/tiles for gaming already available too. All it really needs is someone to "jump in" and start producing some good, suitable minis! But as I've also said before, maybe it's just me (and WackyAnne) who's interested in games in such settings. The Reaper Bones II KS included some sea-themed minis, including a spectacular kraken that I backed for (DungeonCrawler did an even more beautiful, if more expensive, kraken, and tentacles, too). Pathfinder has some prepainted plastic minis for underwater beasts from its Skull & Shackles AP, including a couple of kinds of sharks, were-sharks, grindylows, sahuagin... There is also the DeepWars wargame, by Anti-Matter Games, which is based on undersea civilizations and combat. They've run KS to fund many miniatures, for DW & a companion game called ShadowSea. Allure Publishing has an entire (and apparently excellent) underwater campaign setting for Pathfinder called Cerulean Seas which you can buy in print or PDF (see link to RPGNow). They introduced an intriguing method of positioning minis for underwater combat (translatable to flying combat, as well). There clearly are a few minis manufacturers and game publishers that are producing, and there certainly is interest on the part of players & collectors. So, mesper, don't be afraid to dive in! ;D
