!!!SPOILER ALERT!!!

If you are intending to play the Savage Tide Adventure Path, you may want to avoid my gallery as I do go into some details on the first part of the first adventure.


You have been warned.

!!!END SPOILER ALERT!!!


The first part of the Savage Tide Adventure Path appearing in Dungeon magazine is a high stakes encounter onboard a sailing ship docked in the middle of the bay. Here is my gallery showing pics from the first adventure which ran last Saturday night.

I took the Maiden of the Seas and pulled it together over 3 weeks of 2-4 hours per day working on it. I took a couple of days off over Thanksgiving, but it was probably about 40 hours of work easy. All told the project probably cost me about $60, including the PDF from WWG, ink, paper, foam board, glue and sharpees (I went through a brand new black sharpee completing the boat).

Based on how good it felt to have such a great prop and the stunned reaction from the players who had no clue what was coming, it was the best $60 I've ever spent on a gaming product.

To serve as the cage housing the exotic creatures that were being smuggled into town, I kitbashed together a 2"x2" cage using the outline of the cargo cubes and manipulated and overlayed the texture from the grates.

I have purchased several other sets (as can be seen in some of the decorations on the ship) and am now happily building the Vanderboren Vault for the next part of the adventure which will run in two weeks. I'm using a magnetic masterboard instead of the velcro and so far it works wonderfully. I'll post pictures of that after it runs.

Thanks to Denny for such a beautiful ship to build, it truly is a masterpiece. Thanks to all of you who have really helped with your tips and discussions. As I've said before, the biggest tip is to edge before you glue. Edging after you glue makes it really hard to get in and cover all the white areas. Even then, as you can see in my pictures, there is still a good bit of white showing.

FANTASTIC! There have been some incredible Maiden builds in the past but this one shows her off like none I've seen before Morgenes. AMAZING clean build but more specifically, you've crystallized exactly how the set is intended to be used in a vastly more effective way than I did with the official promos. Breaking the ship down into levels of combat and exploration is something I was trying to get across in the promotionals but you've sold it in a much stronger way.

If I can ever scrape together a spare moment I would love to convert this into a slide show and feature it on the Maiden product page as an example of how to use the set.

Thank you so much for sharing and I look forward to your next creation!

Awesome, awesome, awesome.

Did I tell you that I think your build is awesome?

Nice build, and really great to see the characters exploration of the ship.
