Poll for February
Added 2025-01-07 12:36:50 +0000 UTCHi everybody,
while I am working on HELL! for this month, which will be fully released around the 14th, it is time to vote for February!
I’ve been working on all of these releases for a while to be sure that they can deliver what they promise, and I am very excited about the new additions. Some of them fill dungeon and location space that is missing in the catalogue at this stage (Sewers, Arena, Theater), some of them are weirder (Thornhold and Gargantuan Trees!). There are also the three remaining entries from the older poll set. I really believe in them, but I also wanted to refresh the list. Let’s see if they’ll see the light of day :)
As always, suggestions for future releases are highly appreciated: they help me a lot to understand what you want to see and print, so feel free to write them here or in DMs and I’ll start making projects.
May the best location win!
The Nautiloid Sanctum. Walls of flesh pulse like the heartbeat of a gargantuan creature: its organs are carved into rooms, its tissues into tables and menacing pods. Something moves inside these living tanks. - Mind flayer themed objects and props with pods, vats, psy-cannons and other living flesh contraptions. There should also be an OpenLOCK set to make nautiloid rooms, but that depends on the volume of scatter terrain, which is the main part of the release.
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 guarded by silent wardens. - A mesoamerican pyramid (OpenLOCK set) with playable interiors and ritual objects and props, as well as its secret treasures and its stone snake wardens.
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 temple (OpenLOCK) with a decorated entrance, funerary objects and props, obelisks and colonnades.
The Sewers. When sunlit paths are forbidden, the city's depths become roads for scoundrels and heroes alike. The squealing of mice, the slushing of thick water, the squeaking of wooden planks. The growling of its inhabitants. Welcome to the sewers! - This set will contain modular OpenLOCK sewers with higher walkable paths, deeper water channels and an option with an empty sewer bed. There will also be objects and props for everything that can be found in fantasy sewers, and a battlefield centerpiece of pipes and cogs for additional encounter options.
The Avrean Arena. The crowd howls as the grates open. Which monsters, which ruthless warriors will cross the burning, blood stained sand and face in the Avrean Arena this day? There is only one certainty. It will end in blood. - A set containing the modular OpenLOCK walls of the arena. This set will be about the lower walls in front of which the combat happens, with Objects and Props related to the fight itself and a centerpiece for the greatest spectacles that the Avrean Arenas can offer. With this you’ll also be able to build the intricate interiors of the Arena itself, but not the crowd stands, which will be designed in the following set. (The inside of the Arena will be open and free - printing large slabs of sand doesn’t make much sense).
The Theatre. Rows and rows of seats, filled with a silent audience, mesmerized by the tragedy taking place on the wooden stage. Wooden masks, painted backdrops, lacerating fiction, palpable tension: the perfect setup for the assassin to strike. Will the heroes stop them in time? - A set containing the modular OpenLOCK stands of the crowd, with a parapet for the audience and the stage of the theater itself. Objects and Props will revolve around what you can find on a fantasy ancient stage and among the rows of seats of the audience. This set will be compatible with the Arena and is designed to complete it as a full structure.
The Thornhold. Root and rock, sturdiest of all things, fortify the walls of the druids. Inside these rooms beasts, plants, ancient secrets and all kinds of druidic magic are safe. It’s said that a druid in need can call for protection from the earth and if their bond is true enough their last bit of humanity will be consumed, and a Thornhold will grow around them. - This Druidic fortress will be composed of OpenLOCK and non-OpenLOCK tiles: the floors will be natural, of rock and root, while the walls will be made of thorn bramble and large stones. The aim with this set is to make dungeon tiles (so no “exterior” walls), but there will be a way to cover the OpenLOCK mechanism (e.g. the Draugar Ruins). Objects and Props will be druidic in theme and scope, and the centerpiece of this set will be the druid around whom the Thornhold grew: encased in a large tree but still living, joined in a close bond with nature.
The Trees of the Eternal Vigil. No wind is strong enough to bend the trunks of these massive trees, making them perfect watch towers for the Elves to protect their forests. They say their growth has no natural end but that of time itself. - The aim of this set is to make gargantuan tree trunks (15 inches high) without a canopy (unless for some reason the process of making them ends up faster than expected) but with massive roots. One of these alone should make a great battlefield scenario, and with the modular platforms, bridges and structures that grow around them you’ll be able to create a small Sylvan elven outpost or refuge, even a village if you print more than one of them. Objects and props will be Sylvan Elves themed. I always wanted to make treetop buildings!
That’s it! I’ll be collecting results in a couple of weeks.
Thank you for the support, I wish you a happy hobby time and a happy New Year :D
