Kev's Lounge: The Web Comic

Click image for a full size view

"Kev's Lounge - A place where games are played and Coca-Cola is consumed. Risk, Axis and Allies, Zombies, Mordheim, Settlers of Catan and Dungeons and Dragons are but a few of the games discussed." Those words have been in the header bar for about as long as Kev's Lounge has existed, but they've never really made a lot of sense.

The way it all started, is that I finished highschool back at the end of 1998. We all went off to different colleges and the group dynamic kinda fell apart. At the end of 1999, I bought a copy of Risk, the classic one, and started inviting the kids around once a week to play, and that kinda cemented the group back together, giving us all a reason to hang out on a regular basis. We used to play in the lounge, hence "Kev's Lounge".

After a while, we started playing other games too... We went back and dug out all the games we used to play in high school, like Magic: The Gathering and Dungeons and Dragons, and a whole bunch of interesting new games we discovered along the way like Settler's of Catan, Mordheim, Axis and Allies and Risk 2210. It didn't really matter much which game we were playing... It was just a great way to spend time with friends.

As for "Kev's Lounge" as a title, back in 2004 we were all young and thought we were really hilarious and that other people would laugh themselves silly watching us hang out in the lounge playing our silly games. Kev's Lounge was originally going to be an online streaming podcast... and the only thing that really stopped it was that not a single one of us was willing to watch and edit the video down to something that would actually be watchable. Of course, it was only a couple years before some blokes invented a thing called YouTube and we got to see just how awful that idea was in the first place!

A few years later, I then went on to start this blog, and I was going to use it to talk about the games we played. If you look at some of the very first posts, that's exactly what I was doing. I found that pretty boring, so I started sharing the stuff that I'd made for the games we played instead, and that turned out to be pretty popular, so i kept doing it.

The original idea of the podcast stuck with me the whole time though, and I still think that there's a story worth telling. Back in highschool I used to draw comics, which I'd photocopy and distribute to anyone who cared to read them. I still have the original artwork somewhere, but I'm slightly embarrassed looking at it now, because my 15 year old self had a very warped idea of what constituted "cool!" Earlier this year, i thought I'd give it another try, and I landed up drawing the comic you see above. I haven't really carried on with it, because there is so much else going on in my life right now, but I think I'd like to explore this a little further. Develop some proper characters and come up with a decent long term story line. What do you guys think?

Kev's Lounge Fantasy Scenics: The Ominous Store Room launches!



A few of you have been waiting for this set for a while, and now it's finally here! This is the first Kev's Lounge premium product, coming in at a very reasonable introductory price of $3.99 ($4.99 under normal circumstances). The set continues the tradition of our incredibly popular Dungeon Tiles sets, but turns everything up to 11! These should be useful to anyone who uses 25mm miniatures in their games of Dungeons and Dragons, or Warhammer. These would be perfect for a subterranean variation of Mordheim when you get bored of fighting in broken down buildings.

Check out The Ominous Store Room at Papercraft Dungeon!

This wonderfully versatile set includes:

9 Brand New Kev's Lounge Dungeon Gigantic Rooms Tiles

These beautiful 6 x 6 inch tiles work seamlessly with all existing Kev's Lounge Dungeon tiles. They make use of the Kev's Lounge Starlinks System to keep them together, allowing you to create some enormous rooms for your most epic battles. Combined with the crate models you can create a beautifully labyrinthine, multi-level battleground for your next skirmish!

Layered PDF gives the following awesome features:

    • 3 Different Textures: Stonework, Sandstone Slab, and the Kev's Lounge standard style: Flagstone
    • Multiple grid options, including gridless, 1 inch and 1.5 inch, with a choice of styles for the grid lines
    • Additional optional details, like dirt that can be turned on and off giving you a huge range of control over the look of your tiles


Several 2.5D Hazard and Obstacle Markers Exclusive To This Set


As with every other Kev's Lounge Dungeon Tile set, you will find a great variety of hazard markers, also taking advantage of the layered PDF system to give you control of the floor background, and to add and adjust details to your liking.



8 "Neatly Stacked Crates" Models

These are the basic building blocks of the set. They come in a variety of sizes, and each model is completely unique. They are both really easy to make for beginners who are just starting out in papercraft scenery, and useful across the board to anyone. They serve as obstacles, and create higher ground, to take your skirmishes to a new dimension.

Layered PDF gives the following awesome features:

    • Additional optional details, like dirt and mold that can be turned on and off giving you a huge range of control over the look of your crates.
    • Optional colour variety, to make the crate stacks less uniform.

6 "Incomplete Neat Stacks" Models

These are slightly more complex than the Neat Stacks. Basically, these are like the Neat Stacks, but with a few boxes missing They will offer a little more challenge to the intermediate papercraft modeller, and they look really good alongside the Neat Stacks. They serve as obstacles, and act as a "staircase" to the higher ground.

Layered PDF gives the following awesome features:

    • Additional optional details, like dirt and mold that can be turned on and off giving you a huge range of control over the look of your crates.

    • Optional colour variety, to make the crate stacks less uniform.

5 "Disorganised Crate Clusters" Models

These are really interesting pieces that add an immense amount of visual flavour to a dungeon scene. Each is a unique pile of crates stacked in a random, haphazard fashion. These are a little fiddly to put together, providing a satisfying challenge to the more seasoned papercraft modellers, while not being too difficult for their less experienced brethren. These provide a visually interesting bit of cover terrain that would not be out of place in any dungeon, or street scene. These are particularly great for skirmish games that use visual reference to measure cover.

Layered PDF gives the following awesome features:

    • Additional optional details, like dirt and mold that can be turned on and off giving you a huge range of control over the look of your crates.

    • Optional colour variety, to make the crate stacks less uniform.


• Fully illustrated, easy to follow instructions

36 page instruction manual, in PDF format, optimised for screen view to save you ink. Details every step of the process with clear, full colour illustrations.

Free Potion Counters for D&D


This set adds 6 new potions to the previous set that made a simple task of keeping track of potions and ammuntion during combat in Dungeons and Dragons . I've designed them in such a way as to make it very easy to get nice attractive double sided counters that are perfectly lined up. Single sided counters are a pain when they're upside down!

I'm sure you'll agree that these are some really nice looking counters!

Free Gold Coin Counters for D&D and other Fantasy RPGs

I'm sure you all remember my other counters designed to make it easier to keep track of gold in Dungeons and Dragons and other fantasy RPGs. This accessory is an add-on to the previous set of Gold Coin counters and adds denominations of 500 and 1000 Gold Coins, for those heroes that love carrying huge amounts of gold on their person at all times. To illustrate just how insane that sort of behaviour is, the tokens include accurate illustrations of piles of 500 and 1000 gold coins on them.

I've designed them in such a way as to make it very easy to get nice attractive double sided counters that are perfectly lined up. Single sided counters are a pain when they're upside down! I've also taken into account the fact that the tokens are pretty big, and to get away from having gigantic square tokens, I've given them an interesting octagonal shape.

You should only need one or two copies of the first page, but you may want to make several of the page full of 1000 Gold Coins tokens in case your party wins the lotto on their next quest. Got a similar add-on set for the Silver being worked on (amongst various other projects), and perhaps copper will come soon after that. Gotta say I feel really sorry for the party that has to walk around with enough copper pieces to actually need those though! How many of you want tokens for electrum pieces? They're kinda old school, but I'll make some if enough people want them. Leave a comment below!

Use the counters like you'd use Energy in Risk 2210, or money in Monopoly. The denominations are marked by size in addition to the printed detail so that you can tell them apart at a glance.

Modular Outdoor Battle Tiles: Rocklands, Crosses and Junctions, and Free Dungeon Doors!


Yeah, it's been a while... But I'm back again! The good news is that while I've been gone, I've spent a lot of time working on some awesome stuff that I'm certain you guys are going to love.

To celebrate my return, and to say thank you to all of you for your years of support, I present to you the most awesome free set I have created to date! Seriously guys... it makes my other stuff look amateur by comparison.

This is the second of several sets of modular tiles that assemble into a large battlemap for your outdoor battles in Dungeons and Dragons and other such roleplaying games that use miniatures for combat. They are scaled to work well with most popular brands of 25/28mm miniatures, so they may even be useful to players of Warhammer as a quick battle ground layout.

The Rocklands sets are designed to represent an outdoor area with barren sandy low ground and rocky high ground, but are also fantastic for representing natural caverns and tunnels that have a more organic shape than man made dungeons. This set features 10 stunningly detailed outdoor tiles that work seamlessly with the first set to give you a huge range of options. It also includes the Kev's Lounge Starlinks system to keep the tiles together and in place, and more importantly it includes 3 amazing dungeon doors, that are not only superb in their detail, but also have moving parts. That's right ladies and gentlemen... These doors open and close!

In the interests of stepping up my game and being the professional I'd like the world to see me as, I have also included a fully illustrated 12 page instruction booklet in PDF format, optimised for screen view, (but more than suitable for printing) to help you put it all together with the least amount of confusion. However, Jim Pacek over carjackedseraphim.blogspot.com has posted an alternative method for making the tiles in this post. Thanks for the support Jim! It's always nice to see my stuff being used!

Through the magic of the Layered PDF the set has options for a 1 inch grid which is useful for Dungeons and Dragons 3rd Ed and 4th Ed combat rules, which can be turned off for those who use miniatures but prefer a more organic and natural movement system.

Download Kev's Lounge: Rocklands Set 2 from Papercraft Dungeon! It's free!

The villainous necromancer Sunambral The Blackheart ambushes the party with his undead army before they even enter his subterranean lair!


The stalwart adventurers stand before the grim, aged door of the dungeon and pause a moment to get over their fear of the horrors that will greet them once they enter.

A good look at the beautifully detailed double doors featured in this set. Yes, they do open, and they look damn good while doing it!

Combine with the Rocklands Straights and Corners, Dungeon Corridors Tiles, Huge Room Dungeon Tiles, Small Room Dungeon Tiles and Bigger Room Dungeon Tiles to add even more variety to your battles!
