I sculpt creatures in 3D and print and paint them for my campaign games with my friends. Here’s the most recent one I sculpted and printed, it’s called a Living Doom

This is what my games look like when we are playing them.

Yooo that looks awesome. I wish I had a good group to play a solid campaign with. This looks like it would be so fun. Nice job!

Thank you! I have two groups, one of them is doing an expansion to Gloomhaven called Crimson Scales and the other group is playing Frosthaven. It’s my opinion that Gloomhaven & Frosthaven are the best coop board games ever made!

Sweet! I've of course heard of D&D but never played. What's going on with the board?

Thanks, it’s a game called Gloomhaven, it’s a board game that comes with cardboard standees for the monsters, so I 3D print and and paint the monsters, walls, and I make 3D furniture. Normally it looks like this right out of the box:

And this is how it looks after I upgrade it:

The board is part of the game and it has hexes for movement and targeting. You play cards that let you move and attack and you work together with your team to defeat the monsters before you run out of cards or die. It’s actually not like D&D at all, it’s more of a tactical strategy game!
