DIAMOND d4
As much as we love the classic four-sided-die, it has long been awkward to use. It’s difficult to pickup, it doesn’t have a satisfying roll, and it isn’t the most intuitive die to read. With that in mind, we are creating the DIAMOND d4.
Unoriginal
Unoriginal is the card game that is designed to ruin friendships and gives you the tools to play the game how you want to. Our fondest memories of game nights are those that come from adding our own personal twists to the games we play. Extra rules, forfeits, all that good stuff! One night, we took it to the extreme and added so many new rules that suddenly, we found that we had created an entirely new game! That’s what we are proud to present to you now.
Valhalla Rising
PaintRiot Studio is a small studio who create a painting and basing tutorial and also begin to create his own range of miniatures and busts. This is my second Kickstarter, the first one completely shipped. My goal is to create a brand of interesting miniatures at good prices. This one is to create a new brand of miniatures inspired by the Viking invasion.
Unfamiliar
Unfamiliar is a complete adventure campaign for Dungeons & Dragons 5th edition. Thanks to its unique encounter system featuring exponential growth, it’s suitable for player characters of any level. The story allows you to explore a new setting (the land of Valdir), inhabited by variety of original creatures and obstacles for the players to overcome. The book itself (a tome of more than 350 pages long, illustrated in full color) contains the sandboxy campaign, but also a complete bestiary (including printable monster tokens) and an overview of the setting – but rather than reading about the setting, I want you to experience it first-hand! This can only be accomplished by playing through the campaign and uncovering the secrets of Valdir as you go along.
SPACE FLESH - BUST COLLECTION
We bring you 4 amazing, highly detailed busts. We wanted to create something for you to experience and have fun painting skins from other worlds. This is our collection of skins from space to collect, as always, with the best possible quality.

Character artwork has been meticulously painted to capture the likeness of each historical figure from one of the bloodiest stories in the history of Scotland and England, which ultimately shaped the world we see today.
Escape From Skullcano Island
Escape from Skullcano Island is a high-level adventure designed for a group of Tier 4 player characters but is easily scalable for Tier 3 level challenges. If slappin’ down apocalyptic death cults or taking on titanic kaiju in a land that time forgot is in your wheelhouse, then you’re in the right place.
