Current Stack of Boxes


 You can accumulate tons of cute DM stuff but it's useless if it's too much of a pain to get to,
which is why I have a collection of kits, cases and jewelry boxes.

This one on the top is a pretty typical sewing kit box. 

Got it from the antique mall in New Orleans and paid a little
too much for it because the drawers were unusually deep.

It's packing-taped to the top of the wheely-thing. Inelegant but it works.




The skull is for skeletons, which I got a lot of on account of starting my campaign
with Death Frost Doom and then Reaper sponsoring I Hit It With My Axe




The international symbol for "goblin"

Jewelry box from a place here in downtown LA


These were made using the Instant Easy Lazy Dungeon Block method

Most of these are just complete sets (4-6-8-10-10-12-20) for folks
who forgot their dice.

GM's dice, including all the weird novelty dice, plus dungeon life bendy walls.
Not pictured is my diy pop-o-matic bubble, which scares the dog so I only use it
when I'm running games on the road, so it's in the alligator-skin salesman's case.

Thin clear plastic case in the middle.


I filled it with things I think I'd forget I have unless they were
in a clear case.




Two newly painted PCs. Hannah has a chameleon-woman paladin (left) which I made
by taking a Werner Klocke-sculpted woman (his tend to have big triangular heads) and
emphasizing the shadows under her eyebrows).


Lots of wolves and corpses, naturally.

Just repainted this succubus to look like Lady Crucem Capelli
for Maze of the Blue Medusa games. Of course now that I went to all
that effort they'll probably never go back in that dungeon again.


Anything called anything"men" goes here: snakemen, mushroom men,
beastmen, scorpionmen, turtlemen.

This is a book for some video game, it's in Japanese.

I put whatever in it.



These are for people who forgot their dice.
Comes in a delivery-sushi box because the more likely
a person is to not have their own dice, the more likely
they are to roll it off the table if they don't use a box.

…actually there are good Call of Cthulhu miniatures

So I was looking up amazing granny/cop/dollhousemaker Frances Glessner Lee (who is fucking amazing and there's a book about her).
"They were each dressed accurately down to the underwear."

"People take them as seriously as any other crime scene," said Dr. David R. Fowler, the current chief medical examiner for Maryland. "I've never seen anybody make jokes because of the degree of intricacy and detail. The quality is stunning. I have never seen any computer-generated programs that even come close."

" Her works are studied to this day across the nation in the field."

…and I stumbled across the generally pretty neat Gallery O blog which is just a blog of different artist who make tiny stuff.

Like Lori Nix:


…and Mark Giai Miniet

So that's all cool.

In other itty-bitty news, Sandy Peterson, original author of Call of Cthulhu, has a game called "Cthulhu Wars" out and I know nothing about it but the motherfucking miniatures for it are motherfucking incredible:





…not to mention big.
These are the coolest monsters I've seen since Kingdom Death…

Anybody Know These Mystery Miniatures?

I won these off a mechanic in a bar bet years ago. The guy said they were from the original Space Marine game but I'm not sure I believe him. Anyone know what they are?




They appear to be morons with one eye and space bazookas
