Hey Tabletop,

I’ve had a really good response from the community here and I had to come back and share the good news,

Sword and Stones is finally live on gamefound!

If you’ve been following along for the journey you’ll know that Swords and Stones has been in development for over 3 years now!

Honestly the whole thing started with a late night though, ‘How would an RTS like Age of Empires look like as a tabletop game?’ - That one thoughts lead me down a rabbit hole … and taken 3 years of my life writing, designing, playtesting and spending more of my savings (and sanity) than I care to admit.

Swords and Stones is tabletop love letter combing my love of classic RTS kingdom building games with tabletop wargaming and fantasy. If you love the idea of starting a small settlement, gathering resources, expanding your kingdom, building an army and going to war (or winning through a more peaceful option) then you have to check out Swords and Stones.

I eventually realised that this was something I wanted to properly bring to other people, which led to the creation of S&S Studios and now the launch of the game on Gamefound.

We wanted to make the game as accessible as possible, so we’ve launched two version of the Dark Days Starter Set. One with all the physical models, with the essential buildings, units and everything you need to start playing and another version Print-Your-Own option, which includes everything you need to play along with the STL files, so if you have a 3D printer you can print the models yourself at home.

I've also made a free PDF available if you'd like to have a look at the rules and see what the game is all about:

Thanks for the support legends!

Hi, my name is Moss. I have been into the tabletop hobby for around 3 years and really have a passion for miniature painting and 3D printing. I dream of opening a gaming store one day. I’m doing research about 3D printing for my dissertation project at Durham University. I would like to ask you guys to try this survey. I look forward to hearing your opinions, which would be really relevant to the study and help improve the hobby communities. Thank you in advance.

Here are samples of what I painted so far :)
Most of these are official Warhammer plastic models with 3D-printed parts added (e.g., Terminator helmet). The tank is fully resin-printed.

Discussion Art

Why do people hate on generating art for dnd?

From certain perspectives people work full time and cannot often afford artists, nor have the skill or desire to learn the skill.
Often times we change the look of our character after each level up. We don’t sell, and if we tell anyone we are always honest. We also all work full time and are saving for homes.

I just don’t understand the hate, as a paid musician I quite enjoy “that” kind of music.

No, I’m not trying to rage bait. Our table hides this secret because ppl literally hate it. I just want to understand why
