Aärdnor Minis
What is Aardnor Miniatures?
They are makers of handcrafted, handpainted small scale, playable D&D / RPG environments, terrain, dioramas, props and fantasy displays. Local to Calgary, Alberta, they have been playing D&D for over thirty years. A while back they began making custom terrain pieces for their game encounters to add a heightened level of excitement and understanding to the sessions.
This passion for creativity lead to this small business creating D&D / RPG products and custom commissions to aid fellow players / DMs with their games.

Borders of The Realm
Welcome to Borders of The Realm. I'm a Calgary-based TTRPG player, map-maker, terrain-builder, and miniatures printer.
Maybe you are a Game Master with a lot of ideas, and a vision for your world. Maybe you want to show your world to your players outside the theatre of the mind, but you find yourself short of time.
Perhaps you find drawing and crafting too daunting, or you think you aren't talented enough (but you are, I promise you). It could be you are looking for someone who can put paint to foam, or pencil to paper, to bring forth your dreamland of adventure.
I'd like to be that person for you.
Whether it be with pre-drawn maps (coming soon), pre-made terrain, or a custom collaboration, your world can come to life on your table top.
Let's define the borders of your realm, together.

Blackthorn Brushworks
Welcome to Blackthorn Brushworks! I have been painting miniatures for just under a year. In an attempt to get better, I offer commissions at an unbelievably reasonable rate. Local pick up and drop off available.
My name is Jeff Giroux. After spending years collecting and playing board games, it became apparent that the group would be able to meet up sporadically, at best. Shift work, a wonderful daughter, and balancing the time constraints of my friends became our biggest obstacles. Instead of getting rid of it all, I decided, in late 2023, to begin painting the miniatures I have amassed over the years, and for better or worse, became obsessed. I now paint anything that comes my way, but I tend to gravitate towards anything with a fantasy and/or grimdark setting. Some of my most painted miniatures (so far) are Dark Souls, Dungeons and Dragons, and a kickstarter game called Chronicle X. I've also done three separate dioramas incorporating miniatures for members of my family, and am currently working on a Lord of the Rings diorama as a Christmas gift.

ShoeBox Games & Cafe
Where Card Games, Board Games, and Good Times meet
Chi and Brandon began the dream in 2014, slugging away every weekend at a humble farmer's market booth to create the warm environment for card and board games we now cherish. Our full retail / gaming store on McKnight Blvd opened in December 2016, seating 50 +, running tournaments of all sizes, and serving locally sourced snacks and grub. Although our founding couple has moved on to focus on their budding new family, ShoeBox Games & Cafe continues to strive to be a friendly, welcoming environment for nerdy Calgarians of all ages to chilax ( Yah, that’s right, I said chilax ) over table top games and snacks.
We currently carry the largest selection of Pokemon Trading Card Game singles in Calgary. We buy and trade as well so whether you are looking to complete a competitive deck, fill in that empty slot in your binder, or just want a friendly face to teach you how to play, we are the place to be!
