Fantasy World Creator Unlocks New Options For Dungeon Masters
July 18, 2018 by brennon
Gamestart Edition has been doing some sterling stuff on Kickstarter for their Fantasy World Creator project. Just as a heads up I have backed this so take that into account as I gush over the artwork, but this is a fantastic set of components for world builders and dungeon masters.
The main focus around the campaign is to provide you with map tiles, accessories, tokens, character standees and monsters (all beautifully illustrated by Elisa Serio) for you to use when building your role-playing sessions on the tabletop.
As things have progressed they have done well to unlock loads of additional options for players with their stretch goals. All of these are available with each of the different pledges which is neat and we have some great stuff like more Big Bad Monsters...
...as well as the addition of new Campaign Map Tiles for those building up a full overworld.
One of the big stretch goals that they are working towards right now is another set of alternative characters with options for male and female versions of the existing classes.
All of the pieces that you see here have been printed onto a hard-wearing material and the entire collection is rewritable too giving you the chance to doodle on them to your heart's content before wiping them clean for the next session.
You might think it is a little bit odd me choosing this particular campaign to feature once again since I have backed it but I genuinely think this could be a great way for a budding Dungeon Master to build up a collection of options for their sessions. You don't have loads of plastic to paint and the fact that it is so modular gives you a lot of good ways to create interesting landscapes.
Will you be backing this?

This looks really nice, but unfortunately for various reasons I’m probably going to have to give this one a miss. 🙁
This look 100% like “Saga World Builder: Modular tiles for tabletop and D&D games” looked last year. They were funded one year ago and I’m still waiting for my reward. They are very open with the Updates and the are really having problems getting the tiles cut and printed in a high quality way. I hope this KS doesn’t suffer the same fate.

It does although I like the ‘sketch’ style to the tiles and standees here more than the blocky ones from the Sage world Builder project.
From what we’ve seen so far they have already done some good prototypes so I have my fingers crossed for this one.
Yes, the Saga guys are very open and I still hope that they will deliver eventually. What I mainly meant was: if the Fantasy World Creator don’t have a product set up I highly doubt they can do it until December as promised 😉 When both are out on the marked I’d love to see a comparison.
That’s a wad of stuff in one box.
