I've been busy for weeks working on caverns. For some time I've been fighting the floor textures, because I want something awesome, but also still makes it clear where all the spaces are. I'm also trying to build up a library of limestone features that I can add into caverns as various p...
2018-10-30 19:02:04 +0000 UTC View PostToday I've released some major base updates, only some of which are public currently, so as patrons, you get early access. First off, there's some updates that apply to all or most bases:
Spent some time this morning modeling some dry caverns (meaning no features created by water).
This is a 1x1 and a 2x1 next to each other, without base or anything.
This is my first time really trying forms this organic, so any feedback as I build out the basics of the cavern set are totall...

There's a bunch of updates today. First off, I published the low wall tiles that we discovered a lot of people want from the poll. We published all the wall types we have all at once. Walls, Corners, Diagonals & Curves in every size that we support for full height walls.
Barrels!
But not just any barrels, barrels that let you build a large number of possible barrels. We have open lids, closed lids, bung holes, bung corks, water, fire, rocks, or you fill them with bits from your minis collection. The water insert can even be used as a base for remixing your o...

Roll a perception check. You find a secret door!
This set offers walls that can spin. Next to a floor tile, it's pretty darn hard to tell that this wall turns. Can be a great way to spring a surprise on your players!
This release has a full raft of options. First off we have OpenLOCK ...
Ok, results are in, and we want to share with you some things we plan on doing going forward for the next few quarters. First off, I want to thank everyone for letting us know what you think, and for all suggestions, and for the wonderful supportive comments!
There's a lot to go through here...

This week, Evan continues on the Dwarven scatter terrain with Dwarven Baths!
Nobody knows as much about moving steam and hot water through the mountains as Dwarves, and they leverage this knowledge to build steam baths deep within their mountain homes. The steam bath is always at the perfect ...
These sets give you trapdoors for both OpenForge 2 and OpenLOCK.
The OpenForge set gives you trapdoor floors for dungeon stone in floors, as well as wall, corner, curve, and diagonal tiles, all offered in 2x2, 3...
It's been some time since we have done a poll across the OpenForge patrons. We've been depending on the backer site for guidance, but a number of larger questions of direction have been popping into our minds. The intention had been to post this last month, but a variety of problems (com...

We are closing in on completing the Dungeon Stone set. Today we have Dungeon Stone curved set.
First off, we've added in 4x4 that removes the 2x2 from the middle of the circle section, so you can place any tile you want in the middle.
Second, and what we are most excited about: 12 inc...

This set updates the OpenForge Narrow Bridge by the full selection of intersections (straight, corner, tee, cross) as well as their bases.
The design idea is that this kind of bridge is something you would find in a place like the Mines of Moria. These pieces let these bridges turn and intersect w...

Whether you are in the middle of a colorful bazaar, a fortified encampment, a knights tourney, or the center of a caravan, you can always find some kind of large tent / pavilion. This model was designed to give you a playable yet great-looking option that can be multi-purpose, reusable, and enhance ...

One of the most requested features for the Bridge has finally landed. Sloping ramps (instead of staircases). While not as friendly to miniatures at the edges, these are critical for people who want to use them for vehicles. They also honestly look better this way, and for most brid...

Dwarven halls need imposing doors. We've taken the dwarven set, and added an imposing doorway adapting a beautiful door from Evan.
With this, the dwarven set should be ready for play. There is more we can ...
I've posted about this before, but I decided today to just release it for free. I've posted the designs and source code for making my lasercut Reaper/Vallejo/Warcolour/Army Painter paint racks:

This is the second in the series of alignment based shrines. This is the shrine to Beelzebub, representing Lawful Evil. Beelzebub is a hard one to pin down as an archdevil. In some places he's the lord of flies. In Pathfinder, he rules the seventh layer of Hell, the cold realm of Cocytus. In 5e, 2018-07-20 17:09:58 +0000 UTC View Post
This week, we've got four engines of war!
The first is a simple two-man regular 'ol ladder. The ladder comes in a pre-made size but can be made longer by printing modular sections.
The second is a rolling ladder platform, that troops push up to the wall then can swing the ladder up for asce...

Now the dwarves can have corners! This set adds in all of the corner walls from the OpenLOCK S Series set. IL, IO, IT and IX, giving you a wall end, a corner, a tee and a wall cross.
We've also added in a set of plain dwarven floors. We feel like the first floor set for Dwarven Halls i...
With all the dwarven pieces Ecaroth has been publishing, I thought it was time to get a dwarven tileset. In my imagination, I see dwarven buildings all being made with thick, hearty walls. Because of this, I've decided to use the S-Series OpenLOCK tiles for this set. The thicker walls give much more...

The Dwarven folk have long been known for their skills as master smiths, building weapons of amazing power deep in the mountains. The tools needed to shape the metals for such weapons are very special, and far exceed those used by mundane smiths on the surface.
So for today's OpenForge release fro...
