I made this for welcome to the Hellfire club. I think it turned out pretty nice on FDM.

I livestreamed sculpting this too - video for it and an older model with other poses are linked there too.

I spent some time this weekend playing around with making a topographical map of Barovia. I made two separate versions while playing around and trying to figure out the best approach. I used the official map of Barovia, converted it to greyscale and then traced out some layers, also made the road and waterways too.

Files and displacement maps are freely available here on Thingiverse for anyone interested: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:7354484

They're not perfect but I think they're neat. In theory the print time at 0.4mm is about 5hrs and 80g of filament so these are up to maybe $2 in material cost to print.

For my CoS campaign I've printed and painted a few mega structures and while I love them I haven't been able to reuse them. I wanted to build a terrain system that would help to solve this replayability problem. I started with a Fort set (available here): https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:7284381

And since then I've been working on improving the design, adding new styles of floor tiles and launched a Kickstarter:

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/adamnant/modular-barovia-part-1

I've got some photos here of some test prints, some proposed renders, the castle project and some of my other terrain.

The goal right now is to build the death house with stretch goals for other buildings in the village and minis based off of Moonberry Maple's designs (made with permission). The budget is pretty small since this is the first time I've done anything like this so I'm looking for help offset the cost of test printing parts and maybe paying for a bit of coffee.

Like with the fort files I intend to share the plain versions for free and then the textured versions for a small fee. The system I've been building creates nice clean geometry and materials so the dream I have is to also open this up to create virtual tours of Barovia as well. My hope is that this will help DMs build a mental model of dungeons and encounters.

For the Kickstarter campaign I had no idea what I was doing during setup so I skipped the prelaunch phase and jumped right into a 45 day campaign so there are about 33 days left to go. I've been making solid progress on the set and the underlying system so I'm not concerned about finishing the set but there are lots of small decisions to make and lots of test printing to do. Overall it's another fun thing to try - any way things go having fun and learning are most important.

I'm sharing updates every few days on the Kickstarter and on my patreon. I'd love any feedback or input - especially on things like tile grid sizes, part preferences (door styles, shingles yea or nay) and eventually on stair designs.

The system is somewhat parametric so everything is changeable which is a blessing and a curse!

Hi there,

I've been working on a modular terrain set for a while. I shared my castle a few months ago and since then I've been dealing with flooding and renos and now I've moved onto this Kickstarter project to extend the terrain system with a Curse of Strahd / Dark Gothic theme. As a part of this project I'm building out parts so people can run the "Death House" adventure and with some stretch goals I have other buildings in the Village of Barovia added. As a thank you to any backers I'm including the original premium castle files for anyone who backs the project.

Also - similar to the Castle Project - I'll be sharing the untextured versions of these files for free on the major print sites so on top of getting a cool terrain set (and hopefully some minis) you'll be helping other DMs with a nice free terrain set for them. I do really like the textured files but the plain ones print faster, use less filament and don't lock you into one specific style.

Here is the link to the campaign: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/adamnant/modular-barovia-part-1

This is my first time doing a kickstarter - I have no idea what I'm doing but I'm having fun :)

I'm building a Modular Terrain set and recently posted about a problem around walls eating up floor space within the design.

This set features a few things:

• Flat stacking exterior walls
  • larger parts than standard OpenLock so you have fewer pieces to store and manage
  • so you can have a mega display piece and still have a very playable tabletop structure
  • you can also save the filament and just print the bottoms or just print the top parts of the walls to use on a battlemap
• Slide in interior walls
  • let's you re-arrange the layout on of an interior on a whim
  • allows for a sort of "fog of war" in terrain buildings
  • These include modular slots for doors so you can have a door or a mimic or the egress of your dreams
• All built to be modular and interchangeable so as the set grows it gets better (I haven't decided if I want to make it compatible with OpenLock sets and open the door to integration there but that could be an option!)

The consensus seems that some space doesn't need to be playable and while I agree I also want to make the set flexible for folks who want tight corridors (and Van Richtens and Mimics).

The solution I'm working on is to subdivide the grid into halves or thirds or quarters (tbd) and then to allow variable placement of the interior walls. You can see the screenshots and test prints in the gallery.

I've also included some photos of my other test prints and progress on this new set as well as a photo of the finished textured castle set. These old and new parts will be compatible with each other and enhancements will roll into the entire set.

A major part of this work is the underlying geometry nodes setup in Blender and some python scripts to support automatically building it all. If that sorta thing is your jam I share on my Patreon. I'm also running a Kickstarter for the new "Modular Barovia" set and sharing updates all over on that as well.

Like with my Castle set the goal is to share an untextured version of this terrain system for free and then have a textured version as a paid download. At the end of the day these projects are about learning and having fun so as long as that happens then I'm happy but if it ends up helping with my campaigns and others' campaigns then that's awesome - if somehow it helps offset the cost of filament and gas and groceries then it's amazing.

TL;DR

This is a 3d Printing / TTRPG project with, I think, a modest budget to help offset the cost of test printing and painting and all that stuff. I have no idea what I'm doing but I'm having fun and learning.

L;DR

I previously built a castle using my Modular Terrain System and I'm having fun with this project and thought I'd post it on Kickstarter and extend the system to include more parts and support some specific adventures. The setup process was pretty confusing, I'm not great with graphic design so I muddled my way through putting stuff together and then of course clicked all the buttons until I guess I launched without having a pre-launch phase, oh well.

As usual I met a wall of spam when starting the campaign and also had some bots reaching out on Reddit. I think my small budget and demands for them to write all of their correspondence in poetry to me has scared them off though.

Some background on me - I've been making minis for the last year and a half, learning blender and other tools then publishing models for free on the major print sites. I've got a small following on Patreon and a fair amount of followers on the print sites.

I'm also running a Curse of Strahd campaign with some friends and playing in a few other campaigns. I've already past these parts of the campaign but I've had a TON of time to dream about the setting so a lot of that is getting rolled into this work.

My Asks Of You Dear Reader

I'd love any kind and practical feedback that could help. I am somewhere on the spectrum of humanity so my faults are many but my goal is to learn and have fun. This project doesn't need to get funded for me to achieve that goal but it would be nice.

Here is the link to the project: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/adamnant/modular-barovia-part-1?ref=project_build#h:Current-Deliverables

I'm posted updates every day or two or three on here with my progress so if you like this sorta thing follow along or send me a note.

P.S. If you are a bot or want to sell me consulting services I will require all correspondence from you in iambic pentameter role-playing as a Feywild Harengon or Bullywug (your preference) - I will respond in kind and we will have a lovely time.

I am generally clueless but my go-to is to log into my account and check notifications there instead of clicking through e-mails. I don't see any notifications in there. The email says my account is temporarily suspended and it seems to come from kickstarter.com but the link is to some shady website.

Here is my campaign - it seems to be up even incognito but idk for others.

My campaign is here and it seems to be up: Modular Barovia - Part 1, via u/Kickstarter https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/adamnant/modular-barovia-part-1?ref=android_project_share

I just launched this so I thought there might be issues. It's a small budget so I'm just trying to cover some costs associated to my hobby work while also creating cool stuff

The idea is a modular terrain set curated and planned out to work for running the first part (Village of Barovia) in Curse of Strahd. I'm just looking for support to help offset the cost of filament for test printing. This is my first kickstarter campaign so I don't know what I'm doing - the only thing I know is that I'm about to get spammed by kickstarter bots.

Check the campaign out here: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/adamnant/modular-barovia-part-1

I've included the prototype files (second pic here which is a $10 model) shared on Cults3d as a thank you for anyone who wants to fund the project. There is a $5 Dream Pie Enjoyer tier that can get this or if you want to chip in $1 I'll figure out how to get the files to you.
