Mid November and suddenly chocolate projects everywhere and even as a RPG and fantasy fan you can’t avoid the chocolate. At least I came across some cool projects made of chocolate.

Håkan Mårtensson, a Swedish chocolatier made a chocolate Gollum and various other great sculptures out of chocolate, have a look at his works at his gallery.

Second is a chocolate DIY instruction, to create your own chocolate dice. D4,D6, D20 any dice you want. The effort when following the instruction, seems worth it, yummy.

Finally there is the white chocolate Game of Thrones - Weirwood cake! The authors of the blog “The Inn at the Crossroads”, which I already mentioned in one of my Link Advices, create and cook recipes that are based on the books of George R.R Martin.  Or as they write on their blog:

We are two big fans of George R.R. Martin’s Song of Ice and Fire series.  We are also fans of food.  What, then, would be more natural than to combine them into one fabulous blog?

Happy chocolating!

The blog “Fantasy Paper Miniature Models” from Eddnic offers, as you may guess, great free 3D papercraft models for use in RPG’s. His portfolio ranges from Zombies, to Dragons, Mummies, Orcs and many more. The works that especially caught my attention were the “Air, Fire, Water, Earth Elementals” which seem to be very useful for Earthdawn campaigns. Have a look at his great collection of 3D and 2.5D (??) paper miniatures @ http://minipapermodels.blogspot.com/

This GM screen was made by EvilGeniusPrime and he finally provides it to the fans. There was a discussion on the RedBrick forum about the GM screen and it appears that some like it and some fans see need for improvement. So far Evil did a good job and he has implemented all the tables a GM needs.

UPDATE

The discussion on the RedBrick forum went on and it turns out that two fans were very productive and made, with some advice of arma, two improved/modified versions of the above mentioned Earthdawn 3rd Edition Gamemaster screen.

It is sirserafin’s  version that offers a better resolution than the first version of EvilGeniusPrimes’ GM screen. It is plain, without graphics and the tables are well placed for a good overview. With no-frills. He offers his GM screen, that is based on Evil’s first version, in MS Word format. I made a PDF file out of it, with some minor loss of resolution, but I link to both files. So you have the choice.

But the “GM-Screen-Battle” went on and it was Evil’s turn again, to use sirserafin’s plain version (which has just 5MB) and garnish it with some graphics. This good looking modification of the screen file has now 14MB 12MB and needs some more resources. But as I already said you have the choice which fanmade Earthdawn 3rd Edition GM screen fits your needs best.

So here are the links:

- sirserafin’s plain GM screen MS Word file

- sirserafin’s plain GM screen PDF file

- EvilGeniusPrime’s graphic GM screen PDF file

I hope the floating social bar on the left will make it easier for you to share articles you like via Twitter, FB or G+. I will test the social bar for a while and then I’ll decide if I keep it or remove it again, depends on usage. So the blog finally provides a better way to spread news, share interesting info or simply +1 some articles on G+. Thoughts and critics on the floating share buttons are welcome.
