Happy Tuesday and welcome back to Tabletop Thouhgts!

This week, I still have a lot of the items from last week sitting on the table, waiting to be painted. I worked a lot of hours at both jobs, so I didn’t have much time for crafting. So what did I do? I increased the items in the pipeline!

Something that I have been working on is my modular hexmap system. I got the idea from JunkDrawer Studio on YouTube. She is a new YouTuber who has some great videos. She had a video about low-poly crafting (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gaIsulLqnxs&t=1186s) that sparked an idea in me. What if I build my overland hex map using modular pieces on the table? The hexes above would be the main piece. I am going to work on more that have rivers/roads built into them if I can.

I am creating my own pieces to place on top of the hexes that show off the features in that hex. I have created villages, forests, and mountains so far. I am going to work on a castle next. What else should I make while I am at it? Leave a comment!

I printed out another Druid circle to go into my Etsy store.

Another campsite for my Etsy store. Got to keep items in stock!

More trees for the Etsy store.

A manticore that I really want to paint for me.

Snakepeople that still needed painting to go in the Etsy store.

My HeroQuest miniatures are still waiting for their turn on the painting table. I got both male and female versions for my players.

I printed out more terrain pieces. I was thinking of using them to make another custom terrain piece.

Speaking of creating custom terrain pieces, I just released a new YouTube video! I make a custom Underdark terrain piece using a 3D printed piece, some foam mushrooms from the dollar store, foamcore, and other supplies. Check it out:

Keep on gaming!
