Welcome to Stryfell

What is Stryfell?  Simply put, Stryfell is the name of my homegrown Dungeons and Dragons 5e setting.  It is born from the combination of two words, strife and fell, which evokes the mood I desire at my table.  Yes, Stryfell is yet another grimdark setting!

Since May 2020, I have been DMing 5e every week or two with three players consistently and almost a dozen more players that rotate in and out as they have time.  My table is fond of tactical combat, so I've become heavily invested in miniatures and terrain to enhance the player experience.  For a few years, I was purchasing STL files to 3D print, but in the past year, I have spent considerable time designing and building my own 3D printable terrain.  That is the impetis for this blog.  I want to share my progress on this endeavor.

While this blog will mostly center around 3D printed terrain and the miniatures that occupy the space, I also will create posting about other aspects of TTRPG that I find interesting.  I like to use physical books from Wizard of the Coast and other third parties, so you can expect a review or two along the way.  I also will occassionally design a monster, NPC, or interesting setting, so you should expect me to be sharing the better creations here as well.  Finally, I do not want to limit myself, so I reserve the right to talk about everything TTRPG, whether it be current events, techniques, or just about anything that tickles my fancy.

I hope you enjoy the journey!
