Hello! I hope you enjoy the video. I'm dipping my toes into of being one of those people who makes YouTube videos about making things. I made a couple of videos about my #dungeon23 project The Blades of Gixa, and now as I'm getting into making some models and terrain to play The Doomed, I figured hey why not film the process and share it? And so we have episode 1 of Paradiso Craft.

It's been a long time since I've done any real tabletop terrain or minis stuff – I usually run RPGs in a "theater of the mind" style: just conversation and imagination, with minimal props or visual aids. And when it is the case that props are needed to illuminate a tactical situation, I tend to prefer whatever is immediately at hand: boxes, salt shakers, books, etc.: objects that are generic enough that players won't get confused about how literally to take them, and can easily project onto them whatever the situation calls for.

But I think skirmish games benefit from more specificity. They are, in fact, largely about the tactical situations created by specific arrangements of terrain. Also they're an excuse to make tiny detailed sculptures and explore a fantastical world in miniature.
