Sooooooo I played my first session of D&D as the DM on Friday! I had five players; one was my brother and the other four are long-term friends. I bought a 3D printer from work like three weeks ago and I've been printing all these minis out for the campaign that I'm doing with them! I'm just doing the campaign in the Starter Set, which is an official D&D set you can buy for $25 that contains a basic adventure and comes with character sheets already pre-done...but all my players made their own instead. XD

Here's a shot of a bunch of minis I've printed and primed (not painted yet) (also sorry for Facebook photo quality) (yes there are lots of wolves):

Spoiler:

Because they were printed, they have visible layers, which obviously isn't ideal, but it suits me just fine for NPCs and enemies. For player characters I actually bought real minis, but printing out a mini costs me like 3c compared to $5 per mini if you buy them.

Anyway, this has been taking up ALL my freaking time. xD Yes the adventure is written out for you, but you have to memorise it all and then fill in the gaps. None of my friends had played before either, so they were all learning as they went along. My brother had played before but he just kept questioning my decisions and telling me I was wrong about certain rules which annoyed the crap out of me because I've been exposed to far more D&D than he has. xD

Nothing hugely off-script has happened so far, though they did capture a goblin so I had to quickly make up a name (stuck with "Gookli") and was acting him out. It was hard to keep a straight face some of the time. xD

Ahhh, so that's where you've been! That's cool that you're the DM, though! Sounds like you've been enjoying it, also.

I never thought of 3D printing miniatures like that. They look pretty good and nicely detailed!
