Free Standees from Gnome Stew to You!

If you've been carefully combing over our website every hour or so like a loyal gnome, and for shame if you haven't, you noticed that yesterday we had a new download available. Gnome Stew is proud to present our Print and Fold Gnome Miniatures! We received an e-mail late September from one of our servicemen.

Photo Review: D&D Heroes Miniatures and Official D&D Power Cards

My group is currently playing a D&D 4th Edition campaign, and I love having lots of accessories in front of me when I play.
