Knight of the Dinner Table Posted June 14, 2015 Share Posted June 14, 2015 https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/vorpaliagames/instant-dungeon-tactical?ref=category_newest Interesting take on the dungeon terrain topic ... I'm probably set concerning steampunk and dungeon, but the forest might interest me - and some add-ons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thes Hunter Posted June 14, 2015 Share Posted June 14, 2015 Interesting idea, but the sculpting is not my particular style. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arkady Posted June 14, 2015 Share Posted June 14, 2015 Looks interesting. Might look even more interesting with a better campaign presentation, like shots of the actual unpainted pieces. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ced1106 Posted June 15, 2015 Share Posted June 15, 2015 (edited) Ow, my eyes hurt. C's first rule of new technology: The first use of a new technology will be to mimic an existing one. C's first mistake of new technology: The first mistake of a new technology will be to mimic an existing one. My first reaction was that they should have made these tiles more compatible with Dwarven Forge and Hirst Arts tiles. Effectively, they're asking you to use a different system than other 3D tile companies.. However, all they're supplying are walls and stuff that's already made by these other companies. What they should do is make DF/HA-compatible sections that *cannot* be made with non-magnetic parts. Frex, they could offer individual wall sections that you could affix torches, levers, etc. to. Or a magnetic snap-together village set, such a tavern bar with food and drink pieces that stick to it. Maybe a lake terrain piece where the lake parts won't slide off the ground sections. Basically, terrain stuff we don't already have. Edited June 15, 2015 by ced1106 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arkady Posted June 16, 2015 Share Posted June 16, 2015 So, it's now the subject of a copyright dispute. Interesting. Not much I can find on it other than an Indiegogo that went nowhere in early 2014, and that seems to have been the same people. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knight of the Dinner Table Posted June 16, 2015 Author Share Posted June 16, 2015 (edited) Interesting. After all, they were on Indigogo more than a year ago and I think they were selling the Dungeon package (which has now been "improved" and two more packages added to choose from) ... I don't know ... is it too close to Dwarven Forge pieces?

ced1106 Posted June 16, 2015 Share Posted June 16, 2015 Looks like the dispute got resolved but I didn't find details. Any info on how it got resolved? TIA! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CorallineAlgae Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 I dunno. If these guys tried to steal another artists sculpts during their Indigogo campaign I won't be sending them money for this. The project looks half baked anyway. Like a mishmash of existing game components forced together with magnets to make an odd, unappealing, collage. I'll wait for Stones Dungeon Tiles to ship. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
