The Labyrinth!

Hi everybody,

- Labyrinth Structure. I talked about the structure in the last post, so I'm not writing too many words here, but it is fully modular, it has moving bits, it has borders to make balconies and pools as well as stairs to create heights. Decorative and ruined columns as well as ruined walls give extra variety to the set, and it comes with a split version for extra modularity and/or playability. If you feel like these walls are too short for a labyrinth, just stack more wall bits on top! Oh, the renders show the unmagnetized version, but if you want to be able to stack more of those walls on top of each other, make sure to print the magnetized one (or just glue them on top). All the info are in the instructions :) With these tiles you can also make pools, arenas, water themed temples, ruins of all of those, and more!

- Labyrinth Objects, Props & Dead Heroes. You will notice that the minotaur in this labyrinth has a taste for music and collecting old stories.. as well as the remains of dead adventurers. Since it wouldn't make too much sense to have furniture in a Labyrinth I went with more weapons and victims, there to show the passage of dead heroes, and their end. A few plinth options - useful for puzzles and traps - as well as a gong are there to make the set more interactive as a dungeon. I find that when you place a gong in a dungeon there is always at least one player dying to use it. And who knows what will happen next.. a great red button :D You'll also notice a wide arrange of Greek vases to smash, if you played Hades you'll find that familiar. Awarding hidden gold is an option.

- Labyrinth Ruins. Simple and quick scatter terrain ruins. I love these kind of smaller sets because they are extremely useful to me. Print a bunch, slap them on the battlefield and you immediately have interesting terrain down. Combined with the stairs, columns and tiles from this release you can make interesting 3D battlefields where height, line of sight and cover matter. With all the new fantasy rpgs coming out, especially those where verticality and terrain means a lot, I'm always aiming to make stuff more 3D (someone said Draw Steel!?).

- Minotaur & Thunder God Statues. These gargantuan statues come with a smaller size variant as well as ruined bits for both of them. If you don't have use for a minotaur statue or a storm god of some kind in your campaigns you can always use the headless and armless variants: the features and symbols time erased from them may hide any sort of secrets. And yes, those bodies are massive on purpose: if those abs don't convey monstrous physical strength I don't know what does!

All these models are available on Drive and MMF. If you have trouble accessing them for any reason just let me know and I'll sort it out :)

I hope you like what you see and I can't wait to see what you make with these!

Finally, the results of the poll for December are also in: the Blueteeth Tribe Camp wins with 31 votes, very close to the 30 that Hell! got. Since these are so very close, I decided that I'll b making both of them. The Blueteeth Tribe Camp for December (I'm already working on it!) and Hell! for January. This will enable me to create a new poll with three new entries (I'll post it in a couple of weeks) and have an extra month of planning in advance, which is very good to achieve the quality level I aim for with these releases. As always, even if some of these themes are very specific, I aim to make these sets as versatile and useful as possible without betraying the release theme.

That's it for now. Thanks a lot for the support, and I wish you a happy hobby time! :D
