Throwback Polls and Questgivers

Hi Guys,

As always you will be getting access to Questgiver throwbacks this month, but I've had to restrict the poll to Noble Patrons now, as someone messaged me rather upset last month thinking that because the poll listed the Noble Patron sets contents, that they would get access to the noble patron sets even as a Questgiver (which obviously I can't do and keep this properly funded) - So I've reserved the poll for noble patrons from now on to avoid further upset.

I think this ...

A heads up to new patrons - where to download STLS!

Hi guys!

So, if you've just joined you wont know how we sort all of this out :)

Basically, I need to upload your emails to MyMiniFactory manually to share the packs with you, which I generally do periodically across the month (once or twice a week generally, depending on how many new people we have!)

To get access you need to have a MyMiniFactory account with the same email as your Patreon account. I amd FAIRLY sure that I can add your email to the sharing list BEFORE yo...

Sewer video posted publicly! Any repeat views/comments greatly appreciated :)

As title :) YouTube doesn't track non-public views or comments for the algorithm, so any repeats you guys can give me would be greatly appreciated!

Early Access: I FINALLY Fixed a MAJOR Problem with Modular Dungeons.

Hi Guys!

This is it! The final video of the sewer tile project, including the sloped walls and possibly interesting for those of you not doing sewers - the new additions I made to wall columns and 2.5" walls for interior corners. those are much less 'single use' now and WAY more flexible :)

Timestamps for all that stuff are in the video description!

I also realised I forgot a whole pack (the sewer grates) needed for the sewer release as part of the 4 pack throwback, so I ...

30% Patron Discount for 3Degos :)

Hi Guys,

So! If you've watched the sewer video you'll know that I asked 3Degos, the sponsor of the video to give you guys a 30% discount on orders over $50, which for me is just another way for me to say thank you to you guys and leverage the channel to help this community we're building together :)

The discount code is RPARCHIVE30OFF and can be used at their store here: https://etsy.me/3BTNThB

Bonus Video: Sewer Tile Accessories and Corners Bonus Video!

Hi guys,

This is the bonus video that goes through how to make the sewer tile corners, how to use the STL accessories, and how to make the magnetic wood planks I used in the video :)

Let me know what you all think, I really needed to trim this out of the main video or it would have been 40 minutes long in full!

Early Access - Can I Make D&D Sewers Affordable AND Epic?

Hi Guys!

It is DONE! This post is the main video of the sewer tiles project, with the second video being uploaded once Fabio can send me the renders needed for his sponsor slot this week, and the bonus video probably being uploaded shortly after this one :)

All templates for this project will be attached below, so you guys can get crafting this project if that's what you've been waiting for...

And just personally, from me, thank you all so much for the support you've all ...

September Throwbacks - no poll but 4 packs!

Hi guys,

As I mentioned in a recent post and will in the video as a thank you to newer patrons for standing by me while I recover from illness, for the next 3 months the throwback will actually be 4 packs, plus the polled packs in october and november! And the welcome pack of course...

Older patrons who should already have all of these will have a prize draw to win crafting supplies that I'll run after the video release :)

As for upcoming packs, we're working on 4 at onc...

Thanking you guys in the video - send me your terrain pics/selfies!

Hi guys!

So, one of the things I've been working hard on and putting a lot of heart into is a thank you section in the main sewer video, for both patrons and my youtube commenters.

What you can all do for me for this if you want is send me pics of your WIP or finished pieces (if you've printed STLs I'd love to see those!), as well as, if you feel like it, some selfies. I'll be scattering these over my rambling thank you in the video, so only post if you're happy to be internet f...

Editing nears completion - more previews!

Hi guys!

Editing is going pretty well, considering I do it alongside designing and testing STLs these days it's not even going as slowly as I feared, which is great!

I've got a few small clips left to record and place in, mainly because I'm waiting on a delivery from a sponsor, but other than that I've got all clips in, notes added, patreon thank you's in, music, funny clips, etc etc. The main things left are colour correction of all 3 videos (big job) and the actual uploading ...

Editing is going well, so its time to drop some preview pics!

Hi Guys!

Editing is going pretty well, I've got about 50% of visual clips in place and 95% of VO/Talking head, across the 3 videos (2 public, one bonus video)! Its also incredibly boring to look at, which is why I saved these tasty previews post photography 😂

This build is a pretty epic one, and shows how you can combine both full and empty sewers alongside dungeon door and walls to make a pretty epic entrance to a secret cultist lair or whatever :)

I love the vertical...

August Throwback Poll/July Throwback shared on MMF :)

Hi Guys!

The MMF throwbacks for July (town and village scatter) are now shared with all July patrons on MMF (in theory, message me if this doesn't seem to be the case!)

For new people, I do the poll within the month, as that way the people voting are the ones who get what is voted for, rather than potentially voting then leaving others with their choice, and the people the month after not getting a say!

So with that in mind the poll will run the full month, and the pieces...

Lizard Culture Clip on STLs - what magnets, and how they can be used!

Hi Guys!

As promised here's the tutorial for how to use the lizard culture clip on STL files, there are a few things to bear in mind with the magnet placement, as well as many ways these can be used that might not be immediately obvious :)

This video isnt public, so I can reupload a new version whenever I like with a little bit of work, so if there are any bits that are still confusing I can record new clips and upload new versions to hopefully cover that, so please let me know ...

FINALLY finally done with photography. Also giant lizard statue. 'Sewer' update video 14!

Hi Guys,

As promised on Friday here is an update video going over the things I fixed last week, where we are in general and showing off some more of what you can do with lizard-y things.

The actual tutorial on the lizard STLs is being rendered as we speak and should hopefully be uploaded if not tonight then early tomorrow :)

This is all by way of saying I am FINALLY fully on to editing! Well. VO, Talking head and editing. but close enough!

I'll drop a few preview p...

Lizardfolk STLs ready at last!

Hi Guys,

After much redesigning and figuring out little mechanics like getting them to play nice on magnetic temple blocks (among other things) - they're ready for release!

If you haven't seen these, I did a preview in the most recent update video, they're incredibly flexible STLs for adding flavour to dungeons or buildings :) there's also the statues, the larger of which is not really to scale in the image, its much bigger and roughly fits on top of a 3" tile or temple block - ...

Lizard Culture STLs finished - they make such a difference :) Sewer video update 13

Hi Guys!

FINALLY got enough of these lizard culture clip ons painted for the final photography shots, so I'm now free to get those done :)

There's a few pieces that need finalising but after that we should be able to release these alongside printable interior walls as the march and april releases (there's a LOT of stuff!)

Fabio is now back from holiday so we'll be working full speed on that, before moving on to modular tables and shelving as part of the 'laboratory' scatt...

July Throwback Poll/June Throwback shared on MMF :)

Hi Guys!

The MMF throwbacks for June are now shared with all June patrons on MMF (in theory, message me if this doesn't seem to be the case!)

Apologies for the late upload of these, I literally lost track of this in the pile of things I'm currently doing for the channel 😅

The next proper release has been more work than anticipated, but is REALLY cool and I didnt want to cut a whole bunch of it, so is now two months worth of releases (March/april), and will be released ...

Jigs for the Jig God - more floor tile jigs!

Hi guys,

Just working on the diagonal tiles and thought I'd upload the new 1.5" floor tile magnet jig, as well as the 3" and 1.5" diagonal jigs (for magnet placement on the diagonal side)

These haven't been printed or tested yet, fair warning, but should work fine. I'll revise this post once tested, or at least by release of the video!

The sewer videos are still making progress, I'm working on getting the STLs printed to show off in the final photography and working on t...

Welcome packs shared with June Patrons :)

Hi Guys,

Minor update, I've shared the welcome packs with June patrons, so you should now all have access to stamps, rollers etc :)

Photography almost done and STL previews - sewer video update 12!

Hi guys!

Here is the update video I wanted to get to you all on Friday  😄

Just realised I didn't include the preview images in the video! I'll add those in a post later today :)

Video Preview - The BIG Build! Sewer Update 11

Hi Guys!

FINALLY I can show you all the vision! This is the massive build I had in my head when first inspired to build this extension of the system, the video has a short clip and tons of images, so I hope you all enjoy :)

Also, I've found a way to darken and lighten images significantly while retaining image quality during editing, so that's a huge win!

I'll also be running a hangout on discord from 7:30pm-10:30 BST (in 10 minutes from time of this post!) so head over t...

Public Update Video - Where have I been these past few months?

Hi guys,

As I mention in the Patreon update video, this is just a short update for my full YouTube audience on why I haven't managed to post in the past few months. Not gonna lie, a bit nervous posting after so long and it not being a terrain video but at this point I really felt I had to update people properly...

Getting true black backgrounds for fake holes - sewer video update 10!

Right! Got this update video recorded while working on the public 'I'm still alive' video I wanted to get recorded before I turned the room upside down for photography, which has now started!

This one has a mini tutorial on using musau black for pitch black fake holes - hope you all like it :)

The public video will be released on monday, it might be on patreon before then, but there's no new information for patrons, just some sections dedicated to thanking you guys and commenter...

June Throwback Poll/May Throwback shared on MMF :)

Hi Guys!

The MMF throwbacks for May are now shared with all May patrons on MMF (in theory, message me if this doesn't seem to be the case!)

I've also shared the welcome pack with all may patrons now, so you should have access to those too :)

I have removed the village scatter from the poll this month, as it has been the throwback two months in a row now, I'm hoping to give the others a chance!

For new people, I do the poll within the month, as that way the people v...

Sewer Flows and Columns - February STL 'thank you' pack shared with February patrons on MMF :)

Hi guys,

The February STL thank you pack has been shared with patrons who were supporting in that month! If you'd like to use these and weren't here at the time they are an option in the throwback poll I'm about to post :)

I'm going to start mentioning also I have longer term plans to make these more accessible after the fact on MMF (giving them a price with a patron discount, most likely) but that takes a fair amount of work to set up and I don't really have the energy to spar...

Welcome Packs for all!

Hi guys!

So for a while now I've been struggling with what to do with older 'thank you' STL packs, I want you guys to have them but I also need to make sure there's still enough value in being a noble patron (or patron at all) to make sure I have enough funding to pay Fabio each month to make more!

I did have plans for a more complex, flexible solution, but it would take a lot of work and energy that I simply can't spare right now. So instead, I've decided on releasing some of t...

Finished pipes and next video experiments - sewer update video 9!

Hi guys!

Uploading took longer than expected, YouTube took forever to do its checks but here it is!

Let me know what you think about these accessory details and the upcoming upgrade to the core building system :)

Preview of a full build! Sewer video update 8

Hi guys!

Another update video, this one including a preview of the kind of thing you can build with the set :)

Let me know what you guys think, remember this is unedited footage taken quickly and without my usual loving care, so be gentle, the final video/real thing looks better still, cameras just take work 😂

Finished floaters and the process of designing functional STLs - sewer video update 7!

Hi guys!

Almost done now! This video shows off the 'floating organic material (pre gloss), and the process of designing a complex functional modular STL - Hope you enjoy the insight!

Let me know what you think :)

May Throwback Poll/April Throwback shared on MMF :)

Hi Guys!

The MMF throwbacks for April are now shared with all april patrons on MMF (in theory, message me if this doesnt seem to be the case!)

This month I thought I'd do the poll within the month, as that way the people voting are the ones who get what is voted for, rather than potentially voting then leaving others with their choice, and the people the month after not getting a say!

So with that in mind the poll will run the full month, and the pieces will be uploaded t...
