A few nights later we picked up where we left off. My friend Chris couldn’t make it, so we decided this was that moment in so many comic books where the two hero teams combine to fight a common enemy! Matt quickly chose Captain America as his new, combined hero team leader. He figured if [...]

The Menace of Ultron Part 1: A Super System 3 AAR
Posted by The Angry Piper on June 6th, 2013
Well, I finally got my table finished for good and invited a couple of pals over for some gaming. I figured since I had so much fun with it last time, why not play some Super System 3? So before they came over I came up with a scenario, grabbed some Heroclix and set the table. I [...]
AD&D Campaign: The Tears of Yevona
Posted by The Angry Piper on May 14th, 2013
Once again, I figured I’d share some of the miniatures I’ve been using for my ongoing Advanced Dungeons & Dragons 3.5 campaign. If you’re inclined to check out more, you can find some earlier posts here and here. First up, the PCs. Left to right: Elvar, the mage; Azrael, the bard, and Dematose, the cleric. Elvar is Reaper’s Halmar, [...]
What’s Old is New
Posted by The Angry Piper on April 26th, 2013
I’ve been on a bit of an old-school miniatures kick lately, no doubt inspired by guys like the Old School Grenadier Miniatures blog (now sadly gone, it seems). A bit about that. I first started painting minitures in the 5th grade. Since I’m 40, I’ve been at it a while. I don’t claim to be [...]

Like most miniatures enthusiasts, I have an ever-increasing mountain of unpainted lead and plastic that might one day get me my own episode of Hoarders. Well, I will not go gentle into that good night, friends. I’m doing something about it. They say the first step is to admit you have a problem. Well, I [...]
Trying Out the Table (with Zombies)
Posted by The Angry Piper on January 30th, 2013
I’m gearing up to play my first game of No More Room in Hell, by Iron Ivan Games. I figured I’d set up the table with some appropriate terrain and the majority of my zombie and survivor miniatures to see if I need more minis and/or terrain or less space. Plus, it’s just fun. All the [...]
Building a Gaming Table Part 3
Posted by The Angry Piper on January 7th, 2013
So real life and the holidays got in the way for a while, but the gaming table is finally finished. I had to make another trip back to Home Depot for some last minute incidentals. I can’t remember how much I spent, but let’s just say the gaming table cost me an even 400 bucks [...]
Building a Gaming Table: Part 2
Posted by The Angry Piper on December 7th, 2012
So it’s taking a little longer than expected, which is primarily due to the fact that my brother still doesn’t want to build me a basic table. To give him credit, he came up with a much cooler idea than I did. So, to make a long story short, we scrapped the two shelves below [...]
Building a Gaming Table
Posted by The Angry Piper on November 26th, 2012
I have decided I am going to build a dedicated gaming table. Actually, to be honest, I’m just going to hold the tools and buy the beer and the materials, since I can just about use a screwdriver without losing an eye. My brother is going to build it for me, since he actually knows how [...]
Happy Halloween
Posted by The Angry Piper on October 26th, 2012
In honor of the coming holiday, I’ve decided to post some spooky-themed fantasy miniatures from my ongoing AD&D 3.5 campaign. My players ran into most of these guys over the course of the last year. First up is the old good witch/bad witch combo. The players first ran into the nice, pretty witch who was [...]
