Mike Paine and Jonathan are right back at it, braving the creepy and the hollow they interrogate fellow gamer and terrain maker Mike Johns on his project Creepy Hollow Restored.

The longest-running tabletop wargaming podcast on the planet

Terrain Making

Mike offers some great tips and tricks for those who want to begin their own journey – even discovering foam core! Mike gives a run down of his projects!

Commissioning a Terrain Maker

Mike answers life’s greatest questions:

How do you refer to yourself?

Describe how the process goes from a client approaching you until finished product?

Why should someone hire a terrain maker instead of doing it themselves/buying ready made?

Frostgrave and Conventions

We aren’t talking about the graveyard of ice cream salesmen, we learn about the new game making waves in the gaming community. They also discuss upcoming conventions and all the effort they are putting into them.

Youtube

This comes to one sentence: best area for resources!

Listener Tim said of Episode 176: Cigar Box Battle Mat Review “My early complaint with them was placing that garish label on the gaming side of the mat it needs to be on the underside. If someone wants to know where I got the mat from, I’m happy to tell them but I shouldn’t have to fork out those prices to advertise someone’s product in my games. Otherwise, it’s a very nice mat, well-made, and worth every dollar.”
