Rock Troll #4 (and last, probably)

 

Yet another 3d printed Rock Troll, this time painted red.

This will probably be the last one, unless I develop a pressing need for more, which is unlikely.

Stirrings

 

A few years ago, in 2021, I bought a set of PoD reprints of the core AD&D2e books from DriveThruRPG.

Many, many years ago, when it first came out, I bought copies of the Player's Handbook and Dungeon Master's Guide. I introduced some bits and pieces from them into our existing AD&D campaign, but we never ever played a "pure" 2e campaign. We ended up with a sort of AD&D1.5e mish-mash.

Now I'm getting those old familiar stirrings again, to run another AD&D game, and I was thinking why not do a completely 2e campaign? I've got the books after all, and it would be good to get some use out of them. And I'm kind of curious to see how far the changes they made to AD&D back in those far distant days alters the feel of the game. Not that much, I suspect.

I might even go as far as using the ridiculous descending AC system. We'll see.

Rock Troll #3

 

Yet another 3d printed Rock Troll.

Same deal as the last couple, except I painted this one blue instead of green.

Rock Troll #2

 

Another 3d printed Rock Troll, from the same creator as that in the last post.

The FDM printer is incapable of resolving the detail of its fangs properly, but never mind — it's just a TTRPG gaming toy after all.

Rock Troll

 

This 3d printed rock troll I made in response to events in our ongoing D&D campaign, and as usual, mostly too late. Never mind, maybe next time.

I don't remember who designed the model, nor where I got it from. The internet is big.

It's about 65mm from the soles of its feet to the top of its hump. That would make it about 12' tall in 28mm world.  I printed it on my elderly Ender 3 FDM printer.
