More of the Tapestry Revealed

Some more of the Tapestry has come to light!

I can now reveal some of the figurines I created for Tapestry - from Stonemaier Games - found within the box, and a few more game components too...

The various buildings - cast in durable plastic and carefully hand painted.

All at home in their handy insert.

Each player has their own board where their Capital City takes shape.

The various miniatures - shown on the back of the box.

The board from whence the structures can be claimed.

I'll be posting photos of my original sculpts over the next several days ... so feel free to check back here if you'd like to see what was sent to Panda to undergo the casting process.

In fact, here's a peek at one now - the original Apothecary sculpt... :)

Note: the colouring on the casts in the game are not exactly as per the original sculpts - they are very close - but slight adjustments had to be made in production for various reasons. The actual colours themselves are a match - but the colours of certain areas may vary ... for example, the items on the small Apothecary bench (in the casts) are brown, not grey as shown here in the sculpt.

More pics to come ;)

All Stitched Up!

Well, what's that I see ... Is that really my name right there on that box lid; along with the amazing board game designer Jamey Stegmaier - of Stonemaier Games - and the brilliant artist Andrew Bosley. It appears so!

Well, ok ... I'll come clean.
For the last year and a bit I've been toiling away, sculpting pieces for Jamey's new game: Tapestry.
"A competitive, asymmetric, medium-weight civilization-building game."

I can't currently show any of the sculpts, as Jamey just did the big launch of the game yesterday, and he'll be revealing various aspects of the title, including my sculpts, over the next few days.

Once the figures are out and about I'll throw up a bunch more pics of the original sculpts ... and the casts found in the actual game box.

In the meantime, here's the box art ... created, as I mentioned, by the talented Mr Bosley!

...and a snippet of the main game board...

I must say, it has been an absolute blast collaborating on this project with Mr Stegmaier ... he is just one of the nicest folks I've had the pleasure of working with.

Number Five is Alive

Delvers Lost in the Dungeons of Doom! V - Law vs Chaos is now live on Kickstarter.

This superb range of Heroic Scale Old-School style fantasy miniatures by master sculptor Darcy Perry of Star Hat Miniatures are the perfect thing for your RPG table.

The boys in blue.

Two main sets of figurines are available: Law ...and Chaos (as you may have guessed);
and if you acquire both, you'll also be rewarded with a selection of bonus Epic Hero minis ...a selection which is growing as the campaign progresses.

Bad boys bad boys...

One of the Epic bonus figurines was actually based on a character from a Dungeon Crawl Classics campaign I run. It was amazing seeing Brodo, the Eternally Cursed come to life!

The luckiest unlucky rogue who ever lived.

You too could have a custom designed figure of your favourite character lovingly crafted by the talented Mr Perry, by snapping up the one and only Legendary Hero pledge!

Strike while the sculpting tools are hot!

Jump on over to check out Darcy's Delvers Lost in the Dungeons of Doom! V - Law vs Chaos now.

You won't regret it!

A Fifth Helping of Doom!

Yes, he's back at it again.

Darcy Perry of Star Hat Miniatures, sculptor of some of the best Old-School Heroic-Scale minis this side of the black stump has returned with another slathering of pieces that your game table will not be able to do without.

Delvers Lost in the Dungeons of Doom! V "Law vs Chaos"...

The (not so) Usual Suspects.

This fifth, as you may have already guessed, KickStarter from Mr Perry's DLitDoD line is only days away from launch. Two to be precise. And with the amazing success of it's predecessors, I imagine this one will be no less than legendary.

Ready your pledge-pouches!

This time it is those age old adversaries ... Law and Chaos ... one side causing mischief and the other saying, in a firm but fair voice, 'No'.

No bull, you're not going to want to miss this one.

Not being able to have one without the other, I seriously advise all pledgers to put their names down for the full retinue of both factions. That way you'll also be able to get your sticky gauntlets on the Epic Hero... Amarok - Wolf Wizard!

He is truly Epic!

But wait, there's more!

This time 'round, Darcy has been joined by Anton Ducrot of Flytrap Factory, another fine Kiwi sculptor, who has added a giant, a troll, a treeman ...and Basil the boar into the mix.

Milton, his half-brother Cecil ...and Basil! Squeeeeee!

Well, if you're keen for some of these delicious figures, hand sculpted in purest green and cast in finest metal alloy and/or resin; and I know you are; head over to the Delvers Lost in the Dungeons of Doom! V "Law vs Chaos" KickStarter page in a couple of days! They'll be a waitin' for ya.

A selection of morsels from previous DLitDoD KickStarters;

Eye of the Storm

A good friend of mine: Lewis Morgan ~ Storyteller and Author ~ who also goes by the name of Zebong - Teller of Tales has penned a fabulous story ... and I, I have put pen to paper myself and come up with some illustrations to embellish the pages.

First Storm of Autumn is an intriguing tale of pirates, treasures, tree-houses, chainsaws, and more!

"A haunted ladder. A pirate's dagger. The greatest tree house ever built.

Scott promised his father that he would defend the family, but when your tree house is threatened by the chainsaw wielding pirate next door, there is only one option.

Stay the course and set sail into the jaws of the First Storm of Autumn!"

“It was given to me by an Arabian pirate prince. We sank his ship after a terrible battle and in exchange for sparing his life he gave me this.” Dad fixed Scott with a steely gaze. “You can have it if you make me a promise.”

First Storm of Autumn is currently available on Kickstarter ... in fact you better get in quick if you'd like to secure a copy, as there are only three days remaining! Funding has been reached, so if you you are keen on getting your hands on one, it will be a certainty!

There are various pledge levels available, One or more copies can be gleaned. you can also obtain Lewis' book "The Climbing Competition", from his previous successful Kickstarter.

Fine art giclée prints of the full-page illustrations I have created are also available - perfect for framing and hanging over your settee :)

If you're keen for a gander, please don't hesitate to check out the First Storm of Autumn on Kickstarter now!

Le Grande Totem

A couple of weeks back I got to create this set of pieces for an avid Robinson Crusoe: Adventures on the Cursed Island player, from Boston, Massachusetts.
He requested a Morale marker, similar to one I had had made previously, in a double-faced totem style ...but this one was to be extra chunky!
At twice the height of the previous, it certainly has quite the nice weight to it :) Fun to sculpt too.

Sad face.

Happy face.

The usual suspects.

Cosy.

Thatching the roof.

Preparing to defend the estate.

Tropical bliss.

Don't let PETA see this.

Leathery hides.

Mmmmm... yummy!

Nuts from below.

Paradise ...or is it?

A home away from home.

Yes, the Ti-pi is sitting on the lid of Mombasa,
another fabulous game!

Tasty morsels.

Surf and turf.

A smorgasbord of organic, GE-free produce.

Nice and chunky.

Good times.

Hopefully this'll keep that pesky tiger away from our steak.

A good day at the office.

Packaged up (almost) and ready to send!
