Getting Into D&D 5e Adventures

I needed to make a few things in preparation for the Loggers Camp quest.  The first thing I worked on were the monsters, a group of Ankhegs lurking in the sandy soil of the camp.

I used the Pathfinder mini pdf I own to print out some Ankhegs. I don’t have color printer at home.  I decided to color them in using markers.  I cut them out and glued them together with scrap cardboard in between the layers to help them fit the stands better.

Part of the upcoming adventure involved the party delivering goods to the camp.  They’re loaned a cart, two crates, and an ox for this task.  I had a 2d ox and two crates (from Dungeon in a Box).

I couldn’t find a cart for sale at my FLGS so I decided to build one with scrap cardboard.  I used a tutorial from the YouTube channel Selhrac Games.  I used my hobby knife to carve in some random wood grain, cut the pieces and used tacky glue to put everything together.

I also made some quick cardboard tents for the camp, but I didn’t take any progress pictures.  There really wasn’t much to this process.  I just cut out a tent shape and then traced it on cardboard to make about 8 of them.  All you need to do is fold them into shape.  If ever feel the need I’ll put a little paint on them.  You’ll be able to see these on my next post with game pictures.

I busted out my craft painted.  I mixed some black paint with pva glue, hoping this would create a nice seal on the cardboard.  Once that dried I began painting brown over the cart and noticed the black paint on the white glossy cardboard would rub off.  In the end I got a good coat on the cart and then dry brushed it with an almond color.

I used a rubber band as the harness on the cart.  I think it turned out really well for something I made from trash and things laying around the house.
