Trebuchet

Trebuchet

We just released the Trebuchet.  Unlike the Mangonel released last month, the Trebuchet really was used for battering down the walls of castles and other fortifications.  They were so strong, that they survived in some military capacity all the way up into the late 2018-04-09 16:09:53 +0000 UTC View Post

Dungeon Stone Curved Interface Tiles

Dungeon Stone Curved Interface Tiles

A really difficult problem that has plagued dungeon tiles is getting curved rooms (like say castle turrets) to line up well with the rest of your tiles. This set aims to fix that (at least for round rooms with a radius of 2 squares). It gives you 5 different floor options that line up against G walls that can be combined to have a floor coming out ...

This is a special release. As you all know, I'm helping out a little on the Oakenspire Kickstarter (that you all get a discount on). One of the first unlocks was that I would release a catapult designed with the...

I'm on Wyloch's Crafting Vids!

A couple weeks ago, Wyloch reached out to me about doing a video with him about OpenForge where I would model one his items and he would craft one of mine.  Well, it just went live this morning!

I created some of his dungeon tiles in my Dungeon Stone texture.  I didn't want to hurt their business, 2018-03-19 17:05:30 +0000 UTC View Post

Narrow bridges!

Narrow bridges!

With the initial release of the bridge, one of the requests I got was for a single square width of the bridge. It took me a little to wrap my head around what it would be useful for other then maybe a small bridge over a creek. Then I just happened to re-watch parts of the hobbit, and I realized that there's tons of dungeon uses for a bridge like t...

OpenForge Tutorials

In an effort to make OpenForge easier for people to approach, and to help people decide what they should be printing, we've created a set of tutorials.  They are still early in their development, but cover a large number of topics.

I couple weeks ago I was watching Black Magic Craft, and he had a pretty fantastic idea. Stair sets that you can use to build out all sorts of quick terrain. You can stack them, you can make daises and platforms, you can make walls, or even something approximating h...

Broken Bridge

Broken Bridge

Destroy the bridge behind us! Classic strategy, now one that you can recreate with broken bridge pieces.  Keeping with the flexibility of the bridge set, these work with a bridge of any length, width and height, and offer a few options for bridge brokenness.

We still have a few more bridge options (and a painting guide) that are on deck base...

OpenLOCK Bridge Set 2

We expand on the last release, literally, with this set that lets you grow your bridges in both width and height.  The added pieces will let you take your bridge from being a small county bridge over a creek to a wide city thoroughfare over a major river and everything in between.

The base risers in this set also add the ability to take...

OpenLOCK Stone Bridge Released

OpenLOCK Stone Bridge Released

Battles on bridges are a staple of fantasy.  With our stone bridge, you'll soon be having PCs tossing their enemies over the edge.

We have been hard at work on this one for a few weeks.  This bridge is extremely modular, though with this release, it's only able to expand in length.  A future release will let the bridge also ex...

Dungeon Stone Revised!

Dungeon Stone Revised!

One of the most common requests I get, and more then half of all the highest upvoted ideas is to port all my oldest tiles forward to OpenForge 2.0.  Well, I've started the process with this release.

The old dungeon stone set has been moved forward to 2.0, with full ability to use OpenLOCK/magnetic bases, or to be resized to inch/wyloch ...

OpenForge Encounters: Conjurer's Sanctum

Mounts Set 2

Mounts Set 2

We got such good feedback and response from the first set of mounts, along with a ton of request for some missing options that we decided to do  a second set.  This time around we have:

  • Camel
  • Mammoth (for medium sized riders)
  • Mammoth (for large sized riders)
  • 2 dog mounts (small) View Post

Cobble Miniature Bases

Cobble Miniature Bases

I've decided to try an experiment. I realized that many of the textures used for my floors would make fantastic bases for miniatures. I decided to create this set to see if there was interest in having textured bases. In the past, I've used the excellent products from ...

The holes come in square and round for every variation, and ...

Take a ride with our mounts

Our game needed something for the players to ride on, so we created a crazy mix of riding fun.  Players and NPCs end up riding all manor of crazy mounts, so we've released eight that your minis can ride on in style.  In the set, we have a horse of course, but also have a: Unicorn, Bear, Dire Wolf, Dire Boar, Dire Tiger, Lion, and Rhino.

Gutters Released

Gutters Released

Back when I first launched the backer site, patron Bjay Aysel noted that many medieval streets had a central gutter.  I had not noticed this before, but I kept that nugget until I finally did city streets.

With this release, we have gutters, both central, and ...

Square cobble street tiles

Square cobble street tiles

In preparation for doing gutters and manholes, we needed to make a second street style.  The fan pattern cobblestone is beautiful, but not a good fit for adding these.  As an advantage, we get a street style that now works really well for alleys.

Expect to see gutters next week, manholes the week after that and then we think we'll be re...

Curved Curbs

Curved Curbs

We have continued to bang out the basic set of streets.  The straight curbs are great for many cases, but the curved corners that come with the new curved curbs set feels more organic and natural for the kind of town in a medieval setting.

This set contains both concave and convex curves to handle both the interior and exterior of a 90 ...

First tiles for OpenForge streets released!

One of the top voted ideas was to produce a set of city streets.  We've always loved the fan style of cobblestone street, so that was our first set to go for.  These are super flexible, as you can do streets, but also create a really pretty city or market square with them.

The initial cut of this set will eventually include curbs, ...

The air shrine was a tough nut to crack, but after some great ideas floated on the facebook page of DM Scotty's Crafts N' Games I decided to go with a bell theme for the air shrine.
