Red Golem Blog

Before this blog, there was a website. One day, I decided that a blog was better for me: easier to maintain and organize. I prefer the log journal framework for putting information on the web, both for my own purpose and to share with the online community. This move left some of the website content buried in html pages. I now intend to bring back on the blog some of this material, mostly pieces of terrain for miniatures games. Stay tuned!

People usually end up taking up significant amounts of space as they build up their inventory of terrain pieces for different games and settings (for me: 25/28mm fantasy and 15mm WWII). That is unless you find a few tricks for efficient storage! I decided to make use of my basement ceiling joists. I made a few shelves by nailing a few 1″x3″ planks under joists. It works pretty good. I don’t know what I will do when I decide to finish my basement and put ceiling tiles though…

I like to cook. I also like to make terrain for miniatures. Add 1 +1 and you get… edible penguins!

I made these critters for my daughter’s birthday. She loved them! When my wife asked her what she liked the most about her birthday party, the first thing she mentioned was: “The Penguins!”. That’s my pay!

By the way, it’s pretty easy to do. You only need black olives, carrots, cream cheese (flavored or not; I used whipped cream cheese but regular one will do too) and a little bit of patience! Results guaranteed.

What gaming interest people drawn to my blog have?

Results: 57% are interested in Miniature games, 29% in Roleplaying games, and 14% in Boardgames. It so far reflects the content I put on this site: many posts and feature pages on Mordheim and WWII Miniature games. I also write posts on terrain / scenery that seems to get attention from miniature gamers and roleplayers (probably using scenery in their adventures). My discussions on Settlers of Catan got the attention of a few boardgamers as well.

Next poll will first seem unrelated to this blog but you’ll see how it connects!
