​Join Counterspell Games at Love & Legends Books, as we get crafty with a selection of fantasy themed activities!

​​Spend the evening off your screen and step into a magical fantasy world. From painting minis, to map-making, to vision-boarding, this is your chance for creativity!

​🎨 Paint a TTRPG mini

​"Mini painting" (short for miniature painting) is the hobby of hand-painting small figurines used in tabletop roleplaying games (TTRPGs) to help visualize a character's movement. Our minis are pre-primed and ready to paint! We'll show you the techniques you need to make a new character, or bring your existing one to life.

​🗺️ Create your own fantasy map

​Map-making is both an art and a skill, and we'll teach you both! We'll use the "coffee beans" technique to get a natural-looking map edge, and with the roll of a dice, our mini-game will help you dream up fantasy locations. For our GMs out there, we'll also have a selection of TTRPG stamps for you to dream up your next battle map.

​🌅 Make a fantasy vision board

​Vision boards are a fun and crafty way to visualize your year, but have you ever made a fantasy themed version for yourself (or for your favorite character)? We'll have everything you need to create a board that will inspire you all year long.

​✨ Your ticket includes one mini, one map, and one vision board. We'll also provide you with a protective container to take your painted mini safely home with you :)

​Never rolled a D20 before? No worries!

​This is a great opportunity to explore the world of tabletop games for a spell. And if you regularly play TTRPGs like D&D or Daggerheart, we hope the evening inspires you for your next adventure.
