You can add Duergar Champion as one of the "bad" dwarves on the lower board.

Good call.  There just isn't enough bad dwarves.

OK . . .  that just brought up some images I had hoped I suppressed.

Be back after some treppanning.

I made a board once, but I've never played.


You know, I keep thinking that after the new design team gets done with D&D 4e, D&D won't stand for Dungeons and Dragons anymore, because well, that's just not fun. It's old and stuffy. - Originally Posted by BabWryter on Kenzerco.com

There is a D&DC repaint of the Duergar Warrior, if you wish to use it.

You could use a bat familiar as one of the sylph, if you are looking for a tiny mini.

I don't think it's so much as Tiny, but appropriate since there are no actual Sylph DDM.  But the Bat and Pseudodragon would work well.

I've made a board from cardboard, and used pieces of paper folded to stand on end with the name of the piece on it.Â

It seemed to play pretty well, but it was one that you have to watch all three boards very carefully.

Yeah those are Heroscape pieces.  If you look at later photos there is a board that has all D&D Minis, might be good ones for your list.

Found the rules and uploaded them to the AZDDM Yahoo site:Â

Maybe add the Visejaw Crocodile and the Macetail Behemoth as Basilisks. Could use the Griffon Cavalry and Sphinx as Griffons too. Sylphs I'd have to think about. Since there are only 6 tiny figures in the game you may have to branch out a bit into smalls which should give you a lot more options.

I think that the Griffon Calvary/Sphinx is a great idea.  The visejaw croc and macetail would also work.

I think that putting the Griffon Calvary and Griffon on the same side would be a good idea--greater consistency. It's up to you which side you put them on. I think that the consistency of putting greater basilisk and basilisk on the same side are similar to what I am talking about. Good idea on the basilisks.
