Dungeons & Lasers Third Edition Woodhaven Kickstarter Now Live!
May 4, 2021 by brennon
Archon Studio is now live on Kickstarter with the third edition of their Dungeons & Lasers project. This time around, the team at Archon are heading to the town of Woodhaven to craft a catch-all set of modular terrain for roleplaying gamers and skirmish wargamers.

Much like their previous campaigns, the terrain that you're getting from Archon is designed to work well for roleplaying games like Dungeons & Dragons and Pathfinder. Each tile is gridded but the finish on each piece also means it would work for more freeform roleplaying and/or skirmish games too.
The terrain for the third edition is based around the town of Woodhaven where you'll be able to build houses, shops, taverns, town streets and the sewer which worms its way beneath the city streets. All of this is modular which means that you can dive in, tinker and change each piece dependant on what you need for a given encounter.
Dungeons & Lasers Woodhaven Terrain Themes
Each of the sets in this Kickstarter can be broken down into themes. This means that you can choose multiple themes and core sets or just stick with the one that works best for you.
Dungeons & Lasers Themes // Archon Studio
You get absolutely loads of interesting pieces of terrain in this Kickstarter which can be crafted to make a superb tabletop. I really like the pieces that make up the watery sewers and I reckon they would be a perfect place for one of those initial encounters. I also like the modular roof sections that you get which can be applied to a variety of buildings in the set.
As you can see, each of the different sets can be built as individual buildings or as part of a large complex of streets, dungeons and interiors. You can also layer certain sections on top of each other to make a proper 3D dungeon.
Dungeons & Lasers Woodhaven Miniatures
As well as the terrain, you can also pick up a range of miniatures in hard plastic and 28mm scale that you can use for your roleplaying games.
Townsfolk Starter Set // Archon Studio
As you can see, this set comes with all manner of Guards for you to bump in whilst battling terrible monsters and some NPCs. I really like this set of miniatures as they would be perfect for packing out a tavern! You could have adventure seeds tied to each of them and see where the player heroes go.
The fearsome dragons are also back for this new campaign. If you're looking for a foe that is threatening the town of Woodhaven, I reckon these would work well.
Dragons // Archon Studio
My favourite is probably Freyr but I also really like Origon who brings together a look and feel from the Far East. These are going to tower over the miniatures in your collection and provide you with an absolutely epic-looking clash on the tabletop. I would love for my Dungeon Master to drop a monster like this on the tabletop.
Dungeons & Lasers Woodhaven Stretch Goals
Finally, we also have the initial layout of stretch goals coming up for Dungeons & Lasers.

This is just the beginning of the offerings from Archon and I am sure we'll see many, many more get unlocked as the campaign progresses.

As we've mentioned before, we had a lot of fun with the last two Dungeons & Lasers terrain and it helped us build an excellent HeroQuest board. I'm sure lots of roleplaying fans will be looking to pick this up.

Wow the new terrain an figures are stunning.
Putting that on “remind me”….
Looks great, but I find Loke battlemat books to be the much cheaper and more versatile alternative for actual play.
I like ’em both. (:
LBM is great for RPG’s, and D&L for miniature skirmish games.

I can see a ‘UK only’ option which will add another 20% VAT to the cost. So the Town pledge will be £122 + 20% VAT + shipping cost 13 euro. So about £160 in total. Still good value when compared to the pre-painted Warlock range.
Just been reading the FAQ…
“Since “Brexit” – meaning the UK leaving European Union, VAT taxation has changed for imported goods to the UK. Whenever 135 GBP+ product is imported to UK, 20% VAT is added. That’s why we have introduced “UK Only Pledges” which have VAT value deducted because VAT will be charged by UK customs on the border.”
So the likely result will be parcel held at Royal Mail depot, and you have to pay not only the 20% vat but also an admin fee by Royal Mail of £8.
