Recently I found out that the good folks at Dicey Ventures Studios are planning a Kickstarter for their latest 3D printed tabletop terrain model, so I figured I would give them a hand and help spread the word.
As a little background, I first ran into Dicey Ventures Studios via their Twitter account, and from what I have seen of their work since they seem to be really good at what they do. They also seem like nice people, which is always a plus.
Their latest venture then is what they call their Elemental Village, which consists of stylized, 3D printed tabletop terrain models, that can be used for wargaming as well as adventure gaming.
The Elemental Village is a set of 28mm fantasy terrain that is designed to be used with and for any tabletop wargame or adventure game. Fantastically crafted by expert goblins, these one of a kind Chibi inspired tabletop terrain pieces will ornament your gameplay in a way that cannot be found anywhere else. Each Digital Element Pack comes with STL Files, Print & Color Guides to help you along the way.
Sounds neat, doesn't it? That's straight from their website.
So, what about this upcoming Kickstarter then? Well, it is for a model in the Elemental Village model-series, called the "Earth Brewery". You might be interested to find that they actually held a poll on their website for what model to make next, and this was the winning result! They also held a coloring contest for it among their followers, and picked a winner. Gotta love it when a company is listening to their community and lets them get involved. :)
They've held a Kickstarter before, for their Venture Dice Bags in 2015, which was successfully funded. I'm hoping they will have the same luck this time, because the brewery looks great!
The brewery will be sold as 28 mm, 3D printed models, rather than made using resin. As I understand it, by pledging at the Kickstarter you will be able to get the STL file and 3D print it yourself - provided you have access to a 3D printer, of course - or you can ask Dicey Ventures Studios to print it for you.
Having been in contact with them, they sent me the following key points regarding the Earth Brewery and the Kickstarter:
*Expansion to the Elemental Village Core Set, joining the Earth Tavern and Dwelling
*3D printed model
*$20 price point for physical model, $10 for STL 3D printing file
*Yuletide Brewery pledge level offering December 2016 shipping, in time for the holidays!
*Other shipping waves with January and February 2017 fulfillment
We’ll Print It For You-
*All Core Elemental Village Models Available as Physical Add-ons
*Price range of $8-$30 per model
*Day 1 stretch goal-If the Earth Brewery campaign reaches $1000 in the first 24 hours, all backers who pledge for the Brewery will receive a free Water Dwelling!
I like the fact that "All Core Elemental Village Models Available as Physical Add-ons" as you can see in the image below. Among them you can also find the Water Dwelling that they mentioned in the quoted list above.
The Kickstarter for the Earth Brewery goes live at 11 am EST today, November 1st, if I understood it correctly. I'm looking forward to checking it out once it is live. I am hopeful that they will do well, because it is a really nice looking product they have there. Also it is always nice when a smaller studio does well for themselves. :)
There is also a video up on Facebook of someone unboxing the Earth Brewery model. It can be found right here for anyone interested.
So feel free to go check it out and if you like what you see give them a pledge. The Kickstarter hasn't started up yet at the time of writing this, but I will keep my eyes open for when it does. If you want to you can also go check out their website. Links can be found earlier in the text.
Until next time, my fellow travellers!
