Runaway Char

Stumbled onto an Unhelpful Signpost while exploring a goblin city✨

Fimo sculpture/ttrpg terrain inspired by the obelisk in The Labyrinth (1986)

The Kraklen (WIP)

Finished painting the living cauldron - tried my hand at some really basic NMM techniques, still not my forte. The goo is painted with flourescent paint, and looks really good under blacklight!

The Sniveling Snitch, horrid pet of the Shadow-Stealer. Birdcage and lock made from greenstuff and wire, the body kitbashed and reposed from a skeleton model and a vulture head I had lying around.

Here's a close-up of The Shadow-Stealer - a horrible centipede that steals people's shadows and makes them into masks:

This model was sculpted with fimo professional and greenstuff - it took eight bakes in the oven to complete.

Next up, we have The Sniveling Snitch, the Shadow-Stealer's wretched pet/lackey:

This one was inspired by Plastiboo's excellent work, kitbashed from a goblin head and a re-posed skeleton. The birdcage and lock made from wire and greenstuff. He only speaks from the face on the lock, popping out of small trapdoors in the ceiling to spy and tattle on intruders. I plan on lowering him down on a chain from behind the GM screen!

Finally, we have the animated cauldron:

I designed this map as part of a megadungeon set in a whimsical otherworld: Tucked away in a hidden cove beneath a giant rotten stump is Smuggler's Cave, the hideout of the Pirate Koi terrorizing the Dreaming Marshes. Players can infiltrate their base and free the prisoners through multiple routes - rowing in through the front entrance, possibly impersonating allies of the smugglers, sneaking through behind the waterfall, or beneath the roots of a mystical mangrove tree in the bayou. From there, they'll be fighting/avoiding pirate patrols across rickety walkways and underground beaches, crawling through pipes into the ship sticking out of the cliffside, and figuring out the how to deal with the crow's nest lookout. If negotiations with the pirate captain goes south, they may even find themselves flushed down into the waterlogged grotto where the previous gollum-esque captain still lurks.

Hoping to get it printed out and the second level stuck on some foamboard!

Level 2

Level 1

With and without secrets:

Feel free to use non-commercially for your own pirate adventures!

Here's some in-progress snaps of the Ragpicker Patrol, a crew of petty thieves and scavengers living in the trash heap of a goblin city:

This isn't an ask for people to explain it to me (I *think* I've figured it out what makes sense with all the feats - but who tf knows the actual intended procedure by the devs), its more an observation of the discussions surrounding it online. If your system has this amount of miscommunication and disagreement over something so basic, there's probably some updates needed to the rulebook. Some clarification on Search exploration activity vis a vis creatures, initiative, and transitioning to encounter mode would have saved a lot of headache.
