Unlock Your Secret Stretch Goal For War Mage Diary!
almost 5 years ago – Thu, May 02, 2019 at 09:48:39 AM


Approaching the writing on War Mage Diary as an instructional manual to magic, a travel guide to Perdition, and primer on folklore has allowed me wonderful creative opportunities I didn’t expect! I’ve challenged myself on the art direction to make every spread have some sort of visual treat. Just yesterday I was putting near-final touches on the pages pictured above which allow me to relate more of the story of Equinar in ways I didn’t expect.

There are also a plethora of new minis that I can offer. You can check out a few here halfway down the Campaign Page. Don’t worry, I’ll wait!

Oh yeah! Tomorrow I am going to announce a SECRET Stretch Goal for folks who follow The WitchBorn® on social media.

A SECRET Stretch Goal Revealed Soon!
almost 5 years ago – Tue, Apr 30, 2019 at 06:34:40 AM


With just under two weeks left, War Mage Diary has a record number of backers and is closing in on the second Stretch Goal to unlock the Iron Golem!

Before watching that monumental episode of Game of Thrones last night, I was working on expanding the Golem rules. From the Corpse Golem to constructs of cloth, straw, stone, iron, and more, these are going to be gamechangers so I hope you’ll consider adding the other amazing Bones figures I have for you.

In addition, I will be announcing a Secret Stretch Goal only on social media this Thursday. This goal is limited to the first 100 backers so please check in around midday in any of the following places:

Artist Spotlight: James Wappel
almost 5 years ago – Thu, Apr 25, 2019 at 12:57:22 PM

It’s been my pleasure to know James and his equally-talented better half, Cathy, for about fifteen years. Together we played Deadlands around the time James was contemplating moving from talented enthusiast to full-time miniatures painter. Since then, James has become prolific, often working 18-hour days, winning countless awards like a recent Gold Crystal Brush, assembling awe-inspiring display bases, and setting a new standard for painting figures in oils.

I’ve added a modest gallery of pictures and links. If you would like to have James paint a War Mage Diary figure for you, don’t switch pledges and give up your Early Bird status! Just add $149 to your current pledge and send me a note so I can manage expectations. James is as quick as he is talented (astounding really) but even he needs to sleep on occasion!

My immense thanks to James for lending his talents to The WitchBorn!

Yes, this is a Bones miniature! Notice the hieroglyphic base. Just amazing.
