Dear Readers,

Has it really been nearly a year since my last blog post on here? It can't be. Oh, I guess it can be. There has been a lot going on since that time last year. I was busy with new school stuff and a little busy work schedule, and then I made the decision to begin studying to get my Wisconsin Real Estate License. Which, I did get in January 2025.  I then joined a local real estate firm and have been working with them since. So, times were tight as far as spare time to do more VTT assets. That said, I am happy to share I have TWO new VTT maps for sale on Roll20. Details are below.

In the arid lands lies Gut Loghein, a vital coastal city with eight distinct regions ripe for exploration. Uncover ancient secrets in the ruins, navigate bustling markets, or brave treacherous docks. Will you claim fortune or fall to the desert's harsh embrace?

Take more time enjoying DMing and less time prepping. Needing time to think up ways to counteract players that make choices not so aligned with your session plan means you don't have time to make custom maps, let alone detailed ones. You need an expansive area for your story to take place. A VTT with all that and more in a map pack is what you need. The last step needed is just your own foes and rogues, and maybe a couple interior areas of your own choosing. Just the basic region and city is available to you in this helpful DM tool and soon to be player favorite. You'll be the talk of the town with all the locations you can draw from in this detailed map pack from Tim Kaney.

With this Coastal City RPG map from Tim Kaney, you'll spend less time prepping and more time playing!

The biting wind whips frozen spray off the churning gray sea, a constant, frigid assault on Corbina Wharf. Here, where the tundra stretches to meet the unforgiving sea, a ramshackle city of ice and timber clings to the jagged coastline. The air is thick with the brine of salt, the acrid tang of burning whale oil, and the raucous cries of gulls.

Igloos, crafted from colossal blocks of ice and reinforced with driftwood, dot the landscape, their rounded forms a stark contrast to the angular, weathered trade houses that line the docks. These structures, built from salvaged ship timbers and reinforced with whalebone, bustle with merchants bartering for exotic goods brought in by hardy seafarers. The docks themselves, a maze of creaking planks and frozen ropes, groan under the weight of fishing vessels and the occasional, heavily laden trading ship. Frosted fortifications and icy, stone walls protect the heart of the city.

Beyond the bustling harbor, a formidable barrier reef, a skeletal hand of coral and ice, buffets the city from the worst of the sea's fury. Within its sheltering embrace, the waters teem with strange, bioluminescent fish and the elusive, colossal ice-whales that sustain the city.

A frigid, sunken coliseum, carved from a glacial ice cliff, stands as a testament to the city's brutal entertainment. Its icy tiers echo with the roars of crowds and the clash of steel and cries of pain.

High above the docks, perched on a craggy peak, an enigmatic mage's college of this frozen coast casts, long, eerie shadows, its purpose shrouded in whispers and arcane secrets.

A nefarious thieves' guild, operates in the labyrinthine tunnels beneath the ice, their influence as chilling and pervasive as the tundra's wind.

What secrets await you - adventurers - in Corbina Wharf? Find out now!

Dear readers,

Please know the few of you who still come by and read are much appreciated. Those of you who do keep coming by are the reason I still even have a website at all. And I will until those visits reach zero.

That said, I wanted to do a post on the unit of Poxwalkers I painted up recently. I had gotten out and sealed them with the short burst of warm weather we recently had here in South Central Wisconsin.

To say they are cool minis is an understatement but they are so finely detailed it makes them a bit laborious to paint. So they are a labor of love. But worth it.

Assembly is not a big deal with these Poxwalker kits. They are essentially monopose but that does not mean they can't be modified at all. I always since 15 years ago fully assembled kits before painting as I could never escape glue fog once assembled. Usually I am using Loctite or Gorilla Glue super glue gel.

Primer was white Rustoleum acrylic flat paint and primer. Paint of choice I went with various contrast paints and speed paints. Then in some areas built up contrasts with some extra shades and oils.

In the end I was fairly pleased with the results with odd fleshtones and garrish hues on their garb.

If you want to find out colors, drop a comment below.

​Enjoy the pics of each model of the unit here next...

Ahoy, me hearties! Gather 'round as I spin ye a tale of adventure on the high seas. In a time long ago, when pirates ruled the waves, there sailed a legendary ship known as the Rum Runner. This magnificent vessel was feared by all who crossed its path, for it was not just any pirate ship, but a cunning and swift vessel that specialized in smuggling the finest rum from faraway lands.
The Rum Runner was adorned with black sails that billowed in the wind like dark clouds on a stormy night. Its hull was painted in a deep shade of crimson, symbolizing the blood that was spilled in its wake. The ship was crewed by the most fearsome and cutthroat pirates to ever set foot upon a deck. They were a band of misfits and rogues, each with their own unique skills that made them formidable opponents.
Captain Blackbeard, a notorious pirate known for his fearsome beard and ruthless nature, commanded the Rum Runner. He had a reputation for being cunning and ruthless, never hesitating to engage in battle if it meant securing a precious cargo of rum. His crew revered him and followed his every command without question, for they knew that his leadership was what made them successful.
The Rum Runner sailed through treacherous waters, always staying one step ahead of the authorities. With its sleek design and lightning-fast speed, it could outmaneuver any ship that dared to chase after it. The ship's hold was filled to the brim with barrels of rum, obtained through daring raids on merchant vessels and secret deals with unscrupulous traders.
As the Rum Runner made its way from port to port, whispers of its exploits spread like wildfire among the pirate community. Pirates from all corners of the world flocked to join Captain Blackbeard's crew, eager to be part of the legend that was the Rum Runner. The ship became a symbol of rebellion and freedom, inspiring countless tales and songs sung in taverns across the seven seas.
But alas, like all great tales, the legend of the Rum Runner eventually came to an end. Captain Blackbeard and his crew were captured by an armada of naval ships sent to hunt them down. The Rum Runner met its demise in a fiery battle, going down in a blaze of glory that would forever be etched in pirate lore.
And so, the tale of the Rum Runner lives on, passed down through generations of seafarers who dare to dream of a life beyond the horizon. Its name forever etched in history as a symbol of adventure, rebellion, and the pursuit of freedom. Long live the legend of the mighty pirate ship known as the Rum Runner!
