Tomb Thursday P50: Fountain of Oof

Greetings, sunscreeners! We’re pretty proud that today marks our 50th Tomb Thursday entry! While it certainly takes some determination to share new 3D prints for our desert gameboard every week, today’s milestone just shows how much amazing DnD content is out there. Let’s proceed.

We dug deep into our towering 3D-print Pile of Opportunity for today’s featured DnD scatter terrain piece. This is an oldie, as it was done on our very first Prusa Mini printer and is in FDM. If we had to do it over again, we’d certainly do it in resin, but using the trusty Arm’s Length Rule makes this another gem in our eyes.

Cast n Play is a top-five creator here at 3DRPG Studios. They have several legendary Kickstarters that we still 3D print from these days. We’re still hoping that we crank nearly every one of these fab KS STLs out before it’s all over. Today’s featured piece is one of their many Temple Fountain variations, and this recently completed DnD scatter fits snug as a bug in our sandy tomb.

We want to sing the praises of the Cast n Play Interiors Vol II Kickstarter because it really was one of a kind. They have four core themes: Dungeons, Tavern, House, and Temple, along with an insane number of stretch goals. You can still do an all-in purchase, but naturally, they’ve adjusted the price to match the current market these days. Even at $149, it’s a phenomenal value.

Nothing crazy in terms of painting this one up. This DnD fountain did color a tad differently as FDM vs our usual resin, but nothing you could ever tell from a sitting position at your game table.

• Prime Flat White.
• Usual Galladoria Games sandy paint steps.
• Ruins: GSW Tropical Turquoise.
• Eyes: ASP Blood Red.
• Gold Accents: ASP Hoplite Gold.
• Water: ASP Tidalwave Blue.

For the water itself, we once again used AK Interactive’s Water Gel Effects and then GSW Sea Foam Texture to simulate the water splash effect.

We got some nice feedback on sharing a few tomb-focused prepainted miniatures last week, so here are a couple more fun acquisitions from a recent Miniature Market order. Let’s start with this beauty: a Living Thunderclap from the Pathfinder Planar Perils set. We like this one as a wild sudden magic effect inside the tomb, or as representing some strange gas that comes out of a broken, sealed sarcophagus.

We haven’t had great luck 3D printing clear prints, as they often come up a little too cloudy for our liking. Hence, when we see a cool translucent prepainted mini, we like to snatch those up out of convenience. Even better, this is a common mini from that set, so it was only $2.99.

Lastly, we’re big fans of this Goloma from Pathfinder’s The Mwangi Expanse set. We see this mysterious priest running some sort of ritual from inside the Pyramid before your adventuring party rudely interrupts. This is an uncommon mini from the set and was only $1.99. Pretty slick and definitely a time saver.

Until next time!
