That came out very nice. Your prison door adaptation is especially well done. Does the hinged side have a tab that fits into a slot on the wall? Luckyjoe Yes, I used the hinge tab from the doors in the EZD Deluxe set. The handle is from the steel doors in that same set, and the portcullis from the FDG Borderland Keep. Here's a link to the file: fatdragongames.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=gallery&action=display&thread=625

Man that is a really neat layout. I am the first to say I am not a Fat Dragon texture supporter but this latest set of dungeon releases are what the Cardstock industry has needed. Lord Abaddon of Wormwood The great thing is that this set only took me a couple minutes to lay out. The new EZ Dungeon Deluxe set is beautifully modular. Once you've got the individual pieces of various kinds made up, you can just pop things together as you go. I like to lay out separate rooms in advance, put them in a box, and then pull them out and add them on as we play. The floor/wall pieces, mounted on foam core, are held together with toothpicks, so that you can grab a whole room in one hand. My players love the sets.

Here's the set. The dungeon is made with the new E-Z Dungeon Deluxe set by Fat Dragon. The prison doors are my adaptation. The Troll and the Dwarf with the red hat are Jim's. The other figures are Bhoritz's.

I would love to see these in a more natural, terra cotta or red earth color, as apposed to the starker red of the originals. Sorry, my color vocabulary is lacking.

Thanks, guys.
I've started using the one monk minis for monsters and NPCs with the Fat Dragon sets. But the players all have their favorite painted metal minis and I have a lot of metal mini monsters and NPCs. So, for now, it's a mix of metal and paper minis.
I'm working on an encounter set now. I'm doing the old Forgotten Realms 2E adventure under the Twisted Tower in Shadowdale, but modified using 4E rules and scaled up for 4th level PCs.
Here's the situation: The party has finally penetrated the underground drow stronghold, where dwarves are being used as slaves, and also being transformed by fowl magic into an army of gibberlings that the drow plan to use to overrun and retake the Tower of Ashaba, from which they were driven centuries ago. The party has come upon a room (they can peek in) in which dwarven slaves are being used to forge weapons. To ensure the compliance of the dwarves, the drow have the dwarf women and children in a cage next to another cage containing a large Cave Troll, famous for their ravenous and indiscriminate appetite for living flesh. A drow guard is holding down a lever that, if released, will open a door between the two cages, allowing the Troll to enter and devour the women and children. The PCs have to think of a way to launch an attack that will not end in the death of many women and children.
Once again, the dearth of non-combatant NPC minis, in this case dwarf women and children, is annoying. Since they may become combatants, defending themselves from the Troll, I need to have them for game mechanics. Also, in terms of the pathos of the encounter, I want to have them represented by more than just colored tokens. I'm open to suggestions for what I could use.
I'll post some pictures when the set is done.

If you have a special color in mind for a dragon, let me know and if I can rememebr how I did the color change, I will gladly work on it. Could you do a Black Dragon with a deep purple, instead of yellow, on the belly and underside of the wings, and red eyes?

So, being new to paper miniatures, I'm wondering how people store their minis. Obviously, the ideal system is portable and allows you to see what you have at a glance. I was thinking of perhaps using nine-pocket trading card display sheets, but they are a bit large. I suppose I could put a few similar minis in each pocket.

Thank's for the welcome, and for pointing me in the right direction. As you say, it looks like most of this is already under way.

Hello, all. I'm new to the One Monk forum, so let me know if this thread is better placed elsewhere. By way of introduction, I'm a D&D player who played 2E in my teen years in the early eighties. I recently began playing again with my own kids. We have been playing 2E rules in the 2E Forgotten Realms, but are currently making the switch to 4E rules, while remaining in the 2E Realms. I, like many others I imagine, am looking for cost effective, practical and good looking way to populate my 4E campaign. I was tipped off about One monk's products at the Fat Dragon Games forum ( fatdragongames.proboards.com/). I'm impressed. There are a number of gaps, though, where my miniature needs are concerned, so I thought I'd post a wish list. Monsters - Giants (stone, frost, two-headed, etc.)
- Wolves, werewolves and wererats
- Owlbear
- spider swarm & rat swarm
- giant spider
- treants
PCs (in each case I would like to see both males and females and several races) - clerics & druids
- Bards
- rogues
- wizards (not ancient and bearded)
- new races (demon-human; dragon-humanoid)
NPCs (frustratingly underrepresented by most miniature companies) - Inn/Tavern keeper, servers, stable boy
- Merchants and Caravan (carts & pack animals)
- Foot soldiers/militia (evil and good)
- Beggar
- Blacksmith
- Farmer and family
- Evil mages
