July's Poll.
🕑 Added 2022-05-10 12:52:05 +0000 UTCHi everybody,
May’s monsters are on the way, and for June you chose the Iron Mine. It’s time to vote for July’s theme! There is a new entry: the Circus. May the best location win!
The Circus is back in town! The colorful cloth and wood structure stands out on the brown and gray landscape outside Mergerborg: a circle of vibrant life that hosts magnificent beasts and magical performances. - The huge and complete circular structure (divided in segments to be easy to assemble and print) of a pavilion with circus themed objects and props as well as the tents of the crew, with a magical secret twist. The set will include the exotic beasts that perform with the crew.
The Blueteeth Tribe Camp. When the sun fades, the cries and laughter of the Blueteeth Camps can be heard from a great distance. Their brawling contests are as legendary as their skill in hunting, which are proven by the gargantuan corpses from which they build their homes.This fame alone is strong enough to dissuade lesser tribes from battling them. - A barbarian camp with tents and huts made from the remains of giant beats: ribcages, horns and hides. Hunting objects and props as well as the everyday life items of the barbarians are included.
The Pyramid of the Sun. Many steps lead to the Altar of the Sun where the high priest communes with the Gods. Below, in the depth of the pyramid, many treasures sacred to the Serpent, the Lotus and the Macaw are guardedby silent wardens. - A mesoamerican pyramid with playable interiors and ritual objects and props, as well as its secret treasures as well as the high priest and the wardens of the pyramids.
The Temple of Flowing Sand. A lonely temple in a valley of dead kings, resting for eternity. The sea of sand flows free between its colonnades. They say that in its deepest chamber the high priestess is still pondering the sky. - Ancient Egyptian style OpenLOCK temple with a decorated entrance, funerary objects and props, obelisks, colonnades and statues, as well as monsters to furnish it.
Midnight Rituals. A stave church conquered by an Angel of God. An Avrean Oracle turned to evil intent. A bone altar to the hunting spirits of the wilderness. - This set is made of three parts: the complete building of an OpenLOCK Stave Church, a smaller roman style altar, and a similar sized tribal bone altar of the Wild Lands. All of these locations will contain the monster that gained control over them. Some midnight rituals are about to take place!
Al'Nab, the Oasis. Thirsty and famished travelers often end up in Al'Nab with a sigh of relief. Although its name may seem ominous - the Tusk - it is a peaceful place... as long as you stay in your tent at night. - A fantasy Persia themed set, with palm trees, a bazaar, caravan tents and the horror of the Oasis.
The Labyrinth. A thin rope made of red silk. "If you lose this, you will be lost." They ventured between the towering rock walls of the house of Asterius, never to be seen again. - An OpenLOCK greek-style labyrinth terrain, with survivors and a Minotaur!
I will close the poll in the last week of May. As always, if you have suggestions for future releases write them in the comments :)
That is everything for now. I wish you the best in these dark times!

As long as you people are here and like these minis, I'll be doing this, and that's a healthy relationship I think!

PSA: Patreon doesn't ask you to confirm deleting your post; better make sure to be careful when reaching for the edit button. Anywho, I figured time would probably be your most limiting factor, but glad you liked the ideas, and that talk of Void-Squid-People's got me thinking about Spelljammer. Your fantasy stuff plugs a pretty noticeable gap in my STL subs and those other holes feel like they're mocking me ;P. Based on what I've seen so far, you're a creator I hope to support for a good long while, so helping you grow helps me.

I really, really love these ideas! They are widely different and archetypal enough to be a year worth of content. The idea of working on these and adding a new tier (or a secondary page) for them is seducing, but time is my main issue right now. If the page was to grow I could get some more help, but that's a different issue. Forgive me if this sounds a bit salesman-ish, but the more word of this page spreads, the more people join, the more I can work on more minis! What I can say is that I'll try to work on one or more of these ideas and see what comes out :) That said, I have been thinking about this and I believe that Eberron, Arcane style architecture and Void-Squid-People style buildings are all good possibilities for sets that are compatible with sci-fi and fantasy. Anything ancient from Lovecraft's mythos should also fit: one of the campaigns I am DMing right now has a whole section about Cthulhu, weird geometries and such. I'll make a note to add them to the next poll.

Could Eberron setting for dnd be a good middleground?

Oh, wow! Would you like a wishlist? Thing is: my preferred tabletop RPG is GURPS, so I'm always looking for a variety of modular terrain that isn't too setting specific (forgive my not using newlines, I can't figure out how): 1) Dystopian trans-humanist city streets. 2) Data fortress dungeon 3) Advanced alien civilization. 4) Variety of archetypally styled starship interiors (bonus points for exterior hulls). 5) Various hazardous environment habitats (Moonbase/SeaLab). 6) Post-apocalyptic junkyard town and/or ruined city. 7) Hospitals/Asylums (bonus points for cosmic horror) 8) Police stations/prisons 9) Malls/shopping centers. 10) Downtown. 11) Suburbs. 12) All the grim dark future you want. I could keep going, but I'm sure you can kind of see the picture. Where do you stand on the possibility of adding another tier where smaller sets in these veins compliment your current fantasy offerings?

Yeah, I'd like to vary on the fantasy team sometime, but I fear that that would alienate some people. I thought for a while to do a full gothic cathedral with an industrial alternative as a tribute to the grim dark future (which is aesthetically one of my favorite games!). This could combine fantasy and futuristic, although in that specific setting. I am always in search of ideas though, so: what were you thinking about? :

Do you have any interest in branching out to modern and/or futuristic sets?
