The MAGNA-MAP is back in stock!

May 2, 2024 No Comments

Back during the heady days of 4th Edition D&D, we had a wonderful product known as the Magna-Map Combat Grid. This wonderful flexible battle-map could be rolled up and taken with you to any game, had a superior wipe-off surface that would work with wet-erase or dry-erase markers…and best of all was MAGNETICALLY RECEPTIVE! Like a refrigerator: it didn’t have a charge itself, but all magnets would stick to it.

This made it incredibly handy for setting up little magnetic status flags next to characters and monsters that could track the tons of conditions that got handed out in 4E. It was also really fun to map with, because you could hook magnetic adapters up to our Bendy Dungeon Walls and set up dungeon environments really fast that would stay in place because of the magnets.

Well, 4E is long gone, and Bendy Dungeon Walls are too (the print run sold out and I did not want the hassle of going back to China to get more produced) but the MAGNA-MAP is back! And it is still super-useful!

We’ve also designed a new magnetic dungeon set, Magna-Build Role-Playing Terrain System, that you can 3d print and assemble yourself for super-fast and stylish 3d dungeon environments! You can find the Magna-Build files HERE, and buy the Magna-Map right Here!

The Rats of G.I.M is a 1st-2nd level adventure for the Mutant Crawl Classic RPG published by Goodman Games.

Your band of Seekers come upon a village that has been beset by a strange plague. The affected villagers are suffering from bizarre out-of-control mutations and eventual madness, and they need you to help. You must track a new breed of bizarre mutant rat back to their source, a long-hidden laboratory of the Ancients. In this underground ruin your Seekers will face many horrifying challenges as they race against time to find a cure for a plague that could threaten all of Terra A.D.

The Rats of G.I.M. Kickstarter features a 48-page full color 8-1/2”x 11” softcover adventure module and includes access to a PDF of printable battle maps. The Mutant Mayhem Minis line of pewter gaming figures has also been expanded with models specific to this adventure to really kick it up a notch.

Fight back vs the plague, act now!

Free 3D Model: The Ellicoth for Starfinder

November 14, 2020 No Comments

A while back we gave Starfinder a try.

It didn’t really stick but was fun for a while, and I had a good time making some custom monsters to up the cool factor on the gaming table.

This guy, the Ellicoth, is perhaps the most awesome of those things. I can’t really ever sell him, because he’s their IP…but I can give him away!

The stl files to print this model are available on Thingiverse at the link below. He was printed on an FDM printer, at 100 or 200 micron resolution (I can’t remember, it was like a couple years ago), primed with auto filler primer to smooth him out, and then painted up with airbrush and regular brushwork. I think I went from idea to finished piece in like 3 days, and yes, he did make an impressive sight on the gaming table! Anyways, enjoy the free model, and if you print one up, please share some pics with me!!

NEW PRODUCTS LISTED

All of the figures from the successful Mutant Mayhem Minis kickstarter have now been added to the webstore, and are available for immediate purchase. Also, Tentaclopses, which somehow didn’t get relisted a while back, have also been thrown up there.

A few other changes have happened behind the scenes, like: –Hey! The checkout and shipping systems have been repaired, so you can actually buy this stuff!

I’m excited that we have a new Web Guy on board to help us out, and expect to see even more good things happening on the site after The Origins Game Fair. Erica and I are running games there, and pretty much all our time up until then is going to be devoted to getting ready.
