Future theme ideas
🕑 Added 2024-02-10 15:59:59 +0000 UTCHey everyone,
We're coming up with the moodboards and themes for the next community poll for future packs/themes! You guys voted for some absolutely awesome themes last time and I'm super happy with how all those packs turned out.
So now as we come to the end of the top themes from our last poll, we'll be getting ready to make a new one soon, but this time I thought I'd get a bit more input from you guys! So, in the comments, drop down any ideas you'd like us to consider to put in the poll! Something maybe we haven't thought of, or maybe a theme we haven't revisited for a while you'd like us to take a swing at again.
Super keen to hear everyone's ideas!
We're aiming for the actual poll to go live in the next 2 weeks, so keep an eye out for then :)

"A aztec gods campain"
Tyler Eiseman
im a bit late to the party here but an "untamed nature" theme, with various creatures being "corrupted" by vines, leaves, bushes, ect.
Jon Bonfim
I absolutely love the idea! I also share the preference for one-shots over longer adventures with highly specific setups. Having a collection of drop-in encounters with miniatures and monster stats makes it incredibly convenient. It allows for seamless integration into existing adventures or having pre-printed one-shots ready to go for a casual game. It adds versatility and spontaneity to the tabletop experience. Looking forward to more of these bite-sized adventures!
Hans Isaacson
"A short story anthology." Instead of a full adventure, a small group of drop-in encounters that DMs can add to any adventure. Each with a miniature or two with monster stats and encounter parameters.
Drew Anderson
A “beginning and end of campaign” release. Two of each character one young and eager with standard gear and the other one more experienced, hardened with better gear but still clearly the same person. Villains might be more difficult to do this way though.
Hans Isaacson
A fae or eldritch tainted version of classic fairy tale tropes
Studio Ginart
How about a wizard and/or sorcerers theme? With examples from all the major races. You can do a bigger one with a wizard in full action, with some cool magic effects!
Kalib Dent
Therianthrope theme Werecrocodiles, Weresharks, Werevipers ect. ect. Something that hasn't been done yet. I'm not 100% sure how you'd make it a theme but again it hasn't been done yet especially the werecrocodiles and werevipers
Hans Isaacson
A Thieves Guild theme with multiple subclasses and races.
Grizzlann03
I would love to see the theme of new adventurers continued. It's very hard to find simple minis that show someone just starting out. Also maybe versions of each race and gender by class as archtype miniatures
Benjamin Melling
dinosaurs theme
FremForge
It's unorthodox and doesn't really fit into the realm of what's normally put out there, but I would love to see something that encompasses Greek mythology or Egyptian mythology. Don't know how you would do it but I think it would be great
Phil H
How about a thieves guild/Heist kind of game that involves a lot of subterfuge through a city with a ton of NPC's rather than big ol monsters (Maybe a big wurm in a vault at the end)
Rhys
Would love to see an Elemental collection, Something like Fire,water, earth and air Genasi type heros. Some boss types similar to the Elemental Prince of Good and evil types or just a different form/modified editions to elemental monsters since everything thats out there is really similar.
Carson Newlun
Less common races in non stereotypical roles make super fun characters.
Suzie Q Dragonkin33
NPC children and teens and elderly and mums and dads with babies for different species dwarven elvish drow dragonkin etc mums with kids on backs and kids playing games both magical and normal maybe fantasy creatures as pets could be multi purpose to fill villages and scenes as there are few NPC that are happy and dynamically posed
Tim Layne
I need peasants. Peasant militias, uprising peasants, fighting peasants, DEAD peasants, DEAD NPCs and villagers. City/Town guards alive and DEAD. We need corpses. Lots of corpses.
Joz M
I hope you continue the campaign so players can reach level 20!
Trenten Myers
There been any Lich? Cool minions like flesh golems?
Trenten Myers
Warforge it up
Trenten Myers
Yes, break the stereotypes. Where my orc wizards at?
howard coates
in non stereotypical roles, Dragonborn casters as an example
Laser Tek Creations
+1 for gnolls, hobgoblins, orcs, etc.
Paul Cacicedo
I'd love to see a path of the giant barbarian theme. These barbarians get larger every time they rage. From Medium to large and then at lvl 16 huge creatures I' d love to see a transformative set like that. I have a Dragonborne Path of the Giant now, in his large form he becomes more feral and in his huge form he'll drop to all fours and wield his sword in his mouth. So a cross between a dragon, the hulk and the wolf from Dark Souls.
Karl Doherty
This is a little far fetched but hear me out…. Undead Party - BBEG killed the heroes and made them undead and uses them for his bidding but the gods wanted to give them one last chance as the BBEG was close to becoming a God - so his control over them broke the party had the resistances/weaknesses of undead but had their class stats and abilities back. Undead Wizard, Rogue, Barbarian, warlock/sorcerer different races. Would be a great one shot with a very peculiar and fun twist that hardly anyone would have played before.
Luke
Be cool to do a theme based on exploring a town. So you’ll have lots of npc characters doing Townly things. A traveling merchant possibly.
Evan Gale
NPC pack that isnt monsters
Rebecca Thibault
Viking style would be cool
Jason York
Perhaps class themes like Druids, Rangers, Rogues, Priests, etc. featuring different races. I would like to see a half hero half villain ratio if possible.
Jay Peake
My wife is Thai, the Thai art is amazing! The demons and monsters and heroes from Thailand would be amazing! Mounted war elephants, Thai monkey demons, serpents buddah, monks, martial artists, armoured warriors and female Thai dancers, blow dart and short recurved bowmen.
Carson Newlun
Some of the less common playable races would be cool. Aarakocra, genasi, kenku, eladrin, or warforged. Honestly a theme around any unique race would be awesome.
Randall Goeth
City of Brass. Efreeti, flame salamanders, fire elemental, and azer. Could start a inner elemental plane series.
Randall Goeth
Zerg/Tyranid type aliens that would crash onto the world via a meteor. Something Adventurers would have to investigate, contain, and exterminate
David C
My vote would be for some gnomes, halflings and dwarves.
Ranger565
Full dragon theme. Undead dragon? Undead dragon warriors?
Nomaris
Some undead maybe mixed with liches a la red Wizards of that would be awesome or maybe some dragon themed cultist, mages etc
Aiden Kelleher
I'd love to see some Githyanki and Githzerai, maybe some astral-sea and flying ship themed terrain. Throw in some new mind flayers for good measure!
James Linnett
I would love to see a Mech Warrior theme, as I remember playing the game when I was younger and it would be really good to see that as miniature set and maybe something that comes as a complete mini game, with rules Etc.
Ben Mullins
I have a distinct lack of gnomes and halflings in my miniature drawers!
SBMiniatures
Always a big fan of everything related to dwarfs, lizardmen, foxfolk, rabbitfolk
Damien Hallwood
I LOVE that show, so few people know it.
Damien Hallwood
I'd love to see a theme around one of the lesser represented Demon Lords. Deception and gargoyles for Fraz Urb'luu, Beasts of the hunt for Baphomet, Slime and Oozes for Juiblex etc.
Saul Stevens
Tortles? Ratfolk? Companion beasts and familiars? Hags?
Clay
I also notice there aren't much for kenku! unless I missed one
Sean Mallow
Would love to see a Firbolg and gnome pack.
Mathijs Blokland
I’ve always been a big fan of Dino-riders (the tv show) as a kid, maybe something in that direction? I know it’s more futuristic/cyber-ish but it might spark some nice ideas 😄
Pete
Classic creatures for random encounters
DM Stash
Watch this space for a sneak peek next week!
JRS tales
Very excited!!
DM Stash
Definitely would like to do a future Orc pack thats way more focused on the orcs themselves in the theme!
DM Stash
Was that you in the Discord asking about them yesterday? 😂
DM Stash
Yeah last eastern theme was pretty acutely Japan focused on the back of me returning from a Japanese holiday lol. If we do another I'd like to explore more South East Asian myths
DM Stash
Been a while since we have done a pack focused on em!
DM Stash
Always wanted to do them! They never seem to do great in polls but im determined 😂😅
DM Stash
Youll be in for a treat next month 👀
Maralithe
Eastern themed but more varied than samurai and oni. There's alot of different looks and classes that could be covered for characters especially if you look outside of just japan and there are alot of really cool monsters in the different mythologies.
JRS tales
I love moon themed creatures/characters. Perhaps some dryads/treats?
Zeke Pritchett
Maybe elementals
Nick Jones
Leonin wizards!
Divinity711 Hernandez
Ratfolk or Gnolls? Eldritch touched abominations?
Zeke Pritchett
Genasi
Gary Foster
Nurglings or some sort of imp servants type things
Clay
more orcs?
Marc Wilson
Snake People - Yuan-Ti Abominations
