It’s been a minute! Here, have some pictures of terrain I made (or printed, or bought…it’s a mix).
A miniature tower for RPGs. The inside of a miniature battle diorama for RPGs, featuring the player characters and an ooze monster. A diorama battle for a tabletop RPG, prominently featuring Noxious Needlers. The final battle of an RPG session, filled with monsters and furniture.

Writing an entire intro RPG scenario just because I forgot how great it is to run the first game for people.

Literally threw together an (1) singular encounter last weekend in like five minutes, and their fun was like a drug. I need that energy.

Hi! I’m Chuck.

I’ve been playing RPGs for 20-30 years, and love introducing new people to the hobby.

I also make terrain and run over-the-top games in the greater DC area.

It’s been a while, but I also have a few articles up on Gnome Stew (https://gnomestew.com/author/chuck_lauer/)

Miniatures primarily 3D printed, with one from a board game. Cylindrical future fantasy building with 3D printed alien plants (large tree armature from Woodland Scenics). Handmade multi-level cave encounter for a tabletop RPG.

And I guess a selfie to avoid confusion with anyone else in the background of my pictures.

More stuff I made. Or bought (in the case of the ship) or 3D printed (the huts).
