Trebuchet

Masterwork Tools post Trebuchet from patreon

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 View Post

Dungeon Stone Curved Interface Tiles

Masterwork Tools post Dungeon Stone Curved Interface Tiles from patreon

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...

Masterwork Tools post I'm on Wyloch's Crafting Vids! from patreon

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

Still working through the many requests the bridge set has gotten.  This release we have 3 more variations to add to the set:

Narrow bridges!

Masterwork Tools post Narrow bridges! from patreon

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...

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.

Dungeon Stackers

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 somet...

Broken Bridge

Masterwork Tools post Broken Bridge from patreon

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) t...

OpenLOCK Bridge Set 2

Masterwork Tools post OpenLOCK Bridge Set 2 from patreon

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...

OpenLOCK Stone Bridge Released

Masterwork Tools post OpenLOCK Stone Bridge Released from patreon

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 le...

Dungeon Stone Revised!

Masterwork Tools post Dungeon Stone Revised! from patreon

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 res...

Cobble Miniature Bases

Masterwork Tools post Cobble Miniature Bases from patreon

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 2017-12-07 22:35:53 +0000 UTC View Post

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...

Gutters Released

Masterwork Tools post Gutters Released from patreon

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...

Square cobble street tiles

Masterwork Tools post Square cobble street tiles from patreon

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 ...

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 a...

First tiles for OpenForge streets released!

Masterwork Tools post First tiles for OpenForge streets released! from patreon

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 eventu...

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. Like the others, the archway reads "Air" in Elder Futhark, and the elemental symbol on the floor and walls is from Avatar: Last Airbender, and there...
