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!

Spot of bother up at Winterbrook Stead. A friend told me Old Man Winterbrook has had some trouble with wolves and the like attacking some of his herd. At least that's what he thinks. But that ain’t the worst of it. I heard he recently found some with strange wounds. Heads missing. Limbs ripped off. Some, completely missing. But no blood. Says he’ll pay for the hides of the wolves or whatever's responsible and any proof or evidence of the devil depleting his flock. What do we have to lose? What say we take a look?

Hello crew,

This post is about a new set of dungeon crawling critter miniatures for using with table top role playing games, specifically Dungeons and Dragons from Wizards of the Coast. At this time, currently at its 5th edition.

I know there is not many of you that come and visit anymore. I think Google has strangled most organic search results to us smaller kids on the block. That, and we all need to do a better job of putting out quality content. That said, I am planning on a renovation of kinds to this website to better help people looking for custom art of certain certain kinds. Stay tuned for that. But, for those select few that show up here, on a semi-regular basis, thank you! I appreciate you.

In either case, I have a good post here, mostly images, of these new miniatures I painted up. They have been done for a while, just finally got around to gluing the bases on and sealing today. And that also means doing my amateurish best on photographing these little devils.

Read on, if you dare!

This was the main piece for my collection of dungeon critters to start collecting and painting. The plastic was interestingly flexible and pre-primed with something of which I am not familiar. The reason is one of my one-shots I have penned uses the creature and I wanted to have one painted up for it. This one took around 6-10 hours. I used a combination of Folkart and Citadel paints along with Army Painter and Vallejo washes. The primer I use is a Krylon gray. Enjoy the pics! You'll have to excuse the fibers - sealed outside while tree cotton was blowing around! Oops!

The next set of icky creepy dungeon crawling critters for DnD 5e are the trio of Giant Spiders kit. This is also from Wizkids, but I had a much harder time with these. The bases were very small compared to the spiders. Luckily, I prefer using gel super glue and this helped pile up glue around the limbs to harden and, so far, securely fasten the little buggers to their bases. Also, in that same one shot as mentioned above, I have these featured in it, so I wanted to have a couple handy for the table top. Hm, their paint and color scheme ended up looking familiar!

I liked this kit a lot because it got me purely more miniatures for my money. A total of 8 dungeon dwelling creepy crawler critters. There are 2 bat swarms (be careful as they break easy and they have irritating mold lines to clean), 3 rats (or you could call them Giant Rats, I guess), and 3 spiders (again possibly used as Giant). These are all going to be used in my one shot as well since they do appear and I think visuals like these can help draw people in to a session better. I liked these a lot, they were more cute, I guess, but I will say they did not like brush-on primer. Lesson learned. These are on modeled carved stone bases, so if you care about that, be aware they are not plain! One thing to note is that I used the Citadel Technical Paint - Blood for the Blood God for blood dripping from the rat fangs and also I think spattered blood under the spiders. It really helps give it a wet shiny blood type effect. 10/10 recommend. Enjoy the lot!

While these were crucial as pieces to the one-shot to acquire and be able to field, I found them the most annoying to deal with both in terms of model fidelity and prepping and painting. They had poor definition and terrible mold lines to clean which made it tricky for painting. That said, there is something rather satisfying about the pile of rats to look at. One thing I found odd about these is that they have a base of sorts molded into them, but, for some reason, they came with their own glue-on bases. Well, me being me, I simply didn't want to waste those bases and ended up painting them up and gluing the seething mounds of dungeon rats to them. I think they turned out as good as can be hoped. Hopefully, a better kit comes out. This was 2 swarms in the blister, by the way. I can recall who I got them through, but I am pretty sure it was another Wizkid pack. Enjoy!
