I've been playing Stuffed Fables lately- it is quite a nice dungeon crawler. One of the things that drew me to the game were the fantastic miniatures. Most of them are in that sweet spot between cute and creepy that comes out just brilliant.

When I'm painting my own sets of minis, I tend to avoid the official color schemes and instead look for ways in which I can reinterpret the sculpts with color. For Stuffed Fables, I decided to try and make all of the stuffies and enemies look worn, dirty and used. I think this fits in with the Velveteen Rabbit's concept of stuffed animals- they're real when they're stained and worn. Overall, I feel like this made the minis look a little more like Wyrd's Malifaux minis than most versions of Stuffed Fables that I've seen.

So here they are. I made these photos very large even though the minis are quite small (especially the Stuffies themselves).

Amazing work there, can really appreciate the texture on those bears.

They're lovely models. I also bought SF a while back, but haven't really had a good chance to play it since. Would you say the rules are fairly easy to understand? We played the first mission once but it seemed too easy, we felt we were missing something somewhere.

I'd put the rules on par with Warhammer Quest: Silver Tower. Not too tough to understand, but a mistake here or there can really swing things.

Like- remember that when you spawn an encounter from black dice, they get to activate right away.


Also, if the game seems too easy, try out the Seasoned Stuffies official variants. They have a few ways to make it tougher (you can find the official PDF on Plaid Hat's website- along with some coloring book pages with two new stuffies you can try out).

The variants I like are:

- Enemies prioritize targetting the stuffy without a defense die
- Add less white stuffing to the bag (two fewer white dice make a world of difference)

Plaid Hat Games released a Stuffed Fables Coloring Book. Most of it is pictures of the characters, or even coloring book pages of their character sheets, but there are two new character sheets included.

One is for a puppy stuffy, and the other is for a giraffe. I decided to create these last two stuffies and finish my collection:



The dog is 100% green stuff, and is probably the smallest of the stuffy minis.



The giraffe uses a mix of green stuff and bits (the 'base model' is a Super Dungeon Giri, but he's been modified a lot).
