The Mad Devil
This is a long period of time from 1997 to 2006 give or take when I lived in Greensboro, moved to Cary, then moved to Raleigh. Will P was my roommate for some of this and he was painting during some of this time, which made me paint more. This is also the window where I learned about more brands of paints and moved from Ral Partha more to Reaper minis....with a dash of a few other companies courtesy of Will P. We picked up the 1995 Necromunda when we were in Cary (I think). It was also the height of Living Greyhawk and my involvement with the gaming community at large. Conventions....dragoncon, Trinoc*con, Mace, ConCarolinas, a variety of VA cons to go play Geoff modules...and I did some commissions for some of my fellow gamers. I miss Living Greyhawk. The changes to the RPGA in 4E kind of squashed that chapter...I did run a few rounds of 5E for the successor to the RPGA at dragoncon one year, but it was not the same. Likewise, living pathfinder (Pathfinder Society? It has a name, but I am too lazy to look it up at the moment) has never quite caught me up like Living Greyhawk did.
I suppose as I transition into a new situation, I may try to reconnect with some of those folks, but I expect that I will not in the near future.
I was (am?) fascinated with Night Below. It is an amazing sandbox into linear super module. I did it as a player after law school until we got TPK'd when Reed misread the Grell entries. I have tried to run it twice and just love it. But it is really long and my players have never been able to hold it together long enough to get to the Undersea. Alas. Anyway, here are minis that I painted because of that module.
Reed tried to run Dragon Mountain Box Set for us in this time frame. Ral Partha had a box set of minis that were for that module. This sort of feels like a precursor to what Wizkids did with the Pathfinder Adventure Path specific sets that they released. Obviously with prepainted plastic you can do a wider selection of the monsters. Like most of the Ral Partha boxes it was 8-10 minis.
