Heroic Dreams - All Things Medieval

I just finished making up a fun little paper based role playing adventure game.  It is called “Storm The Castle”. And it is a free download in a packet of ten pages.

The King has turned evil and is ruining the kingdom, raising taxes, and throwing peasants in prison. It is up to you to be a hero and de-throne him. The only way to do it is by storming the castle!

It comes with a gameboard, player, some tokens and a playbook. You make your way through various parts of the castle like the kitchen, dungeon, etc. And you discover secrets along the way. Just a fun little game and I had a lot of fun creating up the story. Totally free download, print and make.  The game is located here: Storm The Castle adventure game. I do have a youtube video that explains more about the game here: Youtube Video of the Game 

One thing I wanted to point out about this game is that it is a good spring board for learning how to make your own paper based adventure games. By looking over and using my game you can get a good idea on how something like this works. So you will be able to make a similarly structured game of your own. Just create your own story and events.

If you are a regular visitor my apologies for the blog being down almost two weeks now! eek.  There was a bit of an issue and my hosting provider helped me work it out. Nothing has been lost and the database is perfect. Anyhoo, I been busy with a lot of things. The 300 Diorama is almost complete and it has come out quite nice. I just need to do the water, the electrical lights and sound effects, and paint the miniatures.

I also have a lot of other things going on including work on a full color paperbound book on how to make fantasy dioramas. It will be available on amazon.com. I will also make it available in pdf.

I am currently working on a ground up redesign of my fantasy guide website and it is coming out great. It will include a newsletter sign up form. A lot of people like that site and have asked about the newsletter. So watch for that site overhaul to be ready within the next couple of days. It’s located here: The Fantasy Guide

I have a bunch of other things I have been diligently working on and will be rolling things out over time. But that’s enough for now. it just feels great to get back on the Heroic Dreams Blog!!!

 Oh, and the 300 DIorama is a complete tutorial with videos, pictures and step by step tutorial. The tutorial on my site is here: The making of the 300 Diorama

And the 5 video series is on my youtube channel here Epic Fantasy Youtube videos

Recently I was scrounging around and trying to think up a new diorama project that I could work on. I couldn’t come up with something I really liked and mentioning this to a friend he suggested I do a 300 Diorama.

I thought it would be a great project so I embarked on the challenge. Anyway, ordering spartan miniatures ended up to be a real hassle but after a couple of weeks and a whole lot of emails I finally got my first batch of the little warriors in. So, time to start on the diorama.

And now it is off to the races. I am currently building the diorama and should have it completed within the next week or so. It is two feet by three feet so quite a bit of work. Anyway, it is coming out really nice. I am also wiring it up for sound and lights. I really want to make some night lighting for it. It should make it pretty dramatic.

Here is a look at the current stage of it. It is designed and framed out; now it is ready for the plaster shell.

If you want to see the whole process of how I am making it or you are interested in making your own fantasy dioramas check out the tutorial which begins here: The making of a 300 Battle of Thermopylae Diorama

 I also have this tutorial and diorama in a youtube video
