Thanks for everyones input. My Party (alchemist, twf rogue, fighter, skill monkey rogue all level three) entered riptide cove last night and faced the challenge of having no healer amongst them. They like it ! They call it 'the real feeling' and that makes it easy for me to let them beat up my monsters.
Entering the cove at high tide is a risk, but they are willing to rescue sandara and giffer tibbs from the grindylows at every cost.

I think its always the question if you and your players have fun. They had fun with every encounter so far and we had 9(!) four hour sessions so far!
If the mood is 'bloody' I am willing to give them their fights. But most of the time they like to roleplay and that's why I let them run from the swarms.

Hi there!
I've been busy working on our campaign and thought that 3D-Models of ships, landscapes and sites might add extra flavor.

As you might know I have been building the wormwood to use it during the first twenty days on board and she has been sitting in the middle of the gaming table every time. One day I put her aside and my PC's were complaining about the removal and ordered me to put her back in place :-)
Wormwood
I realized that there has to be a second build for the Man's Promise and again the Paizo pdf's and maps were quite useful:
Wormwood vs Man’s Promise

As soon as they reach Bonewreck Island, they will cross the Mire

and of course the Castaway's Stockade of Aaron Ivy:
Stockade 1
Stockade 2
While the Mire was an easy build with a river piece from ebay (I pimped it with the wooden bridge, pebbles and bushes), the stockade is a new build.
I felt that the Aaron Ivy Encounter has to be one with a special flavor. There was an option in this Forum to play it with a living Aaron Ivy. Still dangling from the roof with a rope around his neck, but just pretending to be a dead man.
It's a fast build with a cardboard hill and a fence made from corrugated board and stripes of wood from a tangerines case to improve stability.

Well that's it for now

Snowheart, thank you for your inspiration. I want to share my version with the folks as I tried some improvements:

Wormwood

As you can see, its the Wormwood from the map pack. I left out the bilge because of stability reasons ( and it would have looked ugly). I considered using Black foam Board first, but took wooden boards instead. The stairs are made from the same material. I even made two stepholes in each of them to hold fighting combatants.

One Thing I learned from papermodel building is 'edging'.
Just take a black marker (Edding or the like) and paint all edges from paper, Wood, foam board, whatever BLACK. You could use brown on a ship though. The effect is massive.

A picture of the wormwood itself can be googled. You will see three different masts with rigging etc.

Using transparent rigging from Fat Dragon Games takes some space and could spoil the playing fun, but it looks much better than without any rigging. I defined the diameter from the crowsnest with the help of a regular D&D Minibase

Maybe I will even add some raised sails. And definitly a steering wheel ;-)

For stability: the three masts are very helpful, but I needed at least three wall-tiles for the main decks to avoid seasickness.

That's it. Two more days and the wormwood is ready for adventure.
Hope you like it!
