There's a new feature on the Big Fantasy Epic page:



The Lore Library is a repository of background information for the story's setting done in comic strip format. It's not 100% necessary to understand the story, but it is deeper lore for anyone who wants more on the world-building for BFE.

Thanks for reading

Greetings, lords and ladies!


A small peek into Asphodel's bedchamber


The world of Big Fantasy Epic is not immune to spookiness

On Sunday, the next page of Big Fantasy Epic debuted and today there's a spooky addition to The Lore Library. Feel free to drop on in and see for yourself.

There is a new entry in The Lore Library concerning one of Halbstadt's neighbors, Die Grafschaft. Grab yourself a hearty ale and a warm pretzel while you read up on this newest piece of background material. Also, there will be a new Big Fantasy Epic page this Sunday.

Just a few things:


A knight in the livery of the nation of Regno

Do you have a set update schedule for BFE yet?

So far it's been every other Sunday. The next page is ready to go 11/26/23. I try to post a Lore Library post on the Sundays in between so there's content every week.

Okay, thanks.

Nice twist to your painting.

Thank you, Cap'n! It gives me something to do with all my painted models since all my D&D takes place over Discord now

As a reminder, there's a new BFE comic page uploaded today:

The fully armored ones are from the old AEG game, Clan War: Legend of the Five Rings:



The one that's leading them is an old Ral Partha model:

Now a little bit of fun or, dare I say, Madness?

Some of you may or may not know, I have a traditional webcomic called Tangentville. It's been a labor of love of mine for a decade now. It has an insanely diverse cast of oddball characters. But the one many readers seem love most is a reality-warping little Figment named The Madness.

(He's the red & yellow jester guy on the left)



I got it into my head that I wanted to make a miniature of him. So I sculpted one from scratch:





This week's Tangentville pages had been utilizing this little guy and culminated in this BFE crossover today:





Also: new Big Fantasy Epic page this Sunday (12/10/23).

Greetings, lords and ladies!



There's a new blog post up about the development of protagonist Asphodel the Pale.
Give it a read if you want some behind-the-scenes director's commentary on the character.

Thanks for reading

Merry Midwinter, lords and ladies!



There's a new BFE page today as well as some holiday fun in the Lore Library.

Have a great holiday and thanks for reading

Love that little jester, KidCthulhu. Glad your minis are getting to make appearances in and out of universe. Very creative and aspirational work.

Thanks for sharing!

Madness was a fun little mini to make. I may make one of The Sick Man (the little black-robed Figment) one of these days.

Oh, Madness also had a non-canon 28mm appearance:

Fun comic work.

Thanks, Cap'n! The actual story in Big Fantasy Epic is coming along nicely. I find I can tell better stories in a fantasy setting than the sci-fi setting of 28mm. That still doesn't stop from trying, however

There's a new Lore Library entry today:


This is where the barter system breaks down

Thank you! I do intend on introducing some Tercios into the plot at some point, but there's so many stories I have to tell in Halbstadt!

Greetings lords and ladies,

So I recently went through my old models and found an old Reaper miniatures Ettin that I meant to rebase & repaint.
I got busy this week and here's the fruits of my labors:


There's a 22 year gap between the first paint job and the updated paintjob


The pig on his back was much harder to paint than it should have been


A friend of mine thought the Ettin was a Clan War ogre, so I took this scale photo for him

Will this big guy make an appearance in BFE some day? Well, I wouldn't rule it out

Thanks for reading
