Brush Wielders Union

When I first came across the Hazelands last month I knew I wanted to talk to its creator. Fortunately, Tine was happy to make the time to talk to me all about her unique setting for 5e and the whimsical miniatures she's sculpted to go along with it. The Hazelands is currently live on Kickstarter and fully funded and Tine shared the journey behind its creation and inspirations. What are the Hazelands? As a world. It is a place where frogs can be kings and where a teapot might hold a grudge. The

It's no secret that I'm very excited about the newly released Carcass Front campaign and starter set for Trench Crusade. It's got me feverishly building terrain so I can get properly stuck into the game's compelling gameplay and gruesome world. So, I was very excited when two of the game's lead creators were willing to let me pester them for an hour on this month's podcast. Tuomas had last been on this podcast to discuss Trench Crusade over two years ago, and the game has enjoyed a wild rise sin

This month I was joined by fellow Union Member and all around cool person, Jen Prouty, Marketing Coordinator at Iwata-Medea.

I originally discovered Oasis back in the winter and invited its creators to join me on this very podcast. Six month later, the game is live on Gamefound, fully funded, and knocking down stretch goals. I've already backed at the Terraformer level and can't wait to get my hands on this stuff. I was very pleased to talk to Dale and Byron to talk about the journey the game's been on over the past six months and a little bit about what lies ahead as it completes its crowdfund and moves into producti

One of the highlights of Adepticon 2026 for me was venturing into the grime, grunge, and grim darkness of the Smashbash booth where I purchased strange bits while a crowd chanted, "TEETH, TEETH, TEETH". It was the retail experience I'd always wanted. It will heal America. Creator Matt Ross took a few moments away from his nefarious habits to speak to me about what powers his creative empire of Deeply Weird Stuff. We talked about the joys of physical miniatures catalogues, kit bashing, and what

Longtime BWU member and good friend, Dave Taylor, returns to the podcast. Dave is, of course, the founder and head of Dave Taylor Miniatures, currently crowdfunding the latest three volumes of the ongoing "The Art of..." series. These are always day one pledges for me and this set is no different. Dave was kind enough to share his time to talk about the artists behind these three books, Alfonso "Banshee" Giraldes, Steve Garcia, and Anastasia Loukrezi. Each of these artists has a unique and power
