Big News! (Patreon)

Hello!

Today we have two big news that we would like to share with you! But first, we need to go back in time a bit. Six months ago, when we discussed creating an STL Patreon, in our wildest dreams we did not expect to have 5,000 users so quickly. Your support has been exceptional since the very beginning. Everything we are to announce today would not be possible without it!

Back in November, however, we have been planning to keep it all slow and see how it goes. Here we are with a full line every month, recurring models for D&D and Board Games, Loyalty Models, pre-supported versions, cooperating with a lot of personalities and companies and so much more to come in the near future. All of this to provide you with cool miniatures time and again!

As the Patreon grows, so does the team required to keep everything running smoothly around here. On top of the artist working on the models, there are three people that you need to know about.

TF Team

The first one is Sławek. He is not only the sculptor of the most awesome models in our collections but what's more important, he is the mind behind all our ideas. We find him a visionary, as he turns common concepts into exceptional lines of products. He is the artistic leader of our team and he is so much into 3d modelling that in his free time he is... making more 3d models!

Daniel is the second person that keeps things rolling. He prepares all the content that you receive, he is the guy that replies to your questions, uploads files, makes renders, cuts models into parts, posts updates, takes care of discord, streams, MMF, and on top of that, he is also behind all of those sweet bases and terrain pieces that you receive each month! 

Those two are the heart and soul of what we did day to day from the beginning. There is also another person that takes care of writing, legal, and marketing who I would like to introduce. Kuba will have a key role in our new project. He will be managing something that is coming very soon both to Kickstarter and this Patreon in May! Announcing this project is our first big news and it is called...

Bloodfields!

Since day 1 of Titan Forge, we have had an idea to create a tabletop gaming system dedicated to our miniatures. It has always been present in our minds and discussions. However, with so many options on the market, we have found it difficult to find a place for us. Now we finally have to the tools to get into it and we want to take it one step further! Bloodfields is the first tabletop system that is 100% printable on your desktop!

Bloodfields will be released as a Kickstarter campaign and afterwards, it will keep living and expanding here on Patreon! The core of the Kickstarter campaign will be, of course, the miniatures! In the KS starter pack, you can expect 3 armies, terrain, markers, dice, measuring tools, bases, and tokens, that you will be able to print and start playing instantly to put your miniatures into action!

What does it all mean for the Patrons? Most heroes from previously released lines will also be implemented in the system. They will receive rules and character cards. You will be able to play with Dwarfs, Dragon Empire or Daemons you already have. 

Also, Bloodfields are going to be another monthly addition to what you get for the same $10! New models will come with new rules that will expand your armies. There will also be more content like scenarios, extra dedicated terrain, campaigns, and more. The best part is that all of you who decide to check out the game will be a huge, active part of that project. Digital system gives us countless possibilities for additions, hotfixes, new lines, models, rules tweaks, feedback, tests, etc. We want to engage our community to cooperate with us in creating the best game you have ever played. 

As much as we are tempted, we do not want to spoil the whole surprise so this is all we can tell you today:). If you have any comments at this point, feel free to share them with us and we will for sure take everything you write into consideration!

Cyber Forge!

On to the second big news we want to share with you today! In just a couple of months "Cyber Forge" will be premiering on Patreon with all the amazing sci-fi STLs you always wanted to print!

We have had a lot of discussions on how we should act on your very enthusiastic reception of our Sci-Fi collection. We came with a few important baseline points that we want to share with you:

• 1. Titan Forge, as a fantasy-based Patreon, cannot suffer any loss of quality or delays due to creation of sci-fi lines.
• 2. We won't be able to match the amount of sci-fi content with the fantasy content at the beginning.
• 3. We need new people to manage it. 
• 4. We need a new team of artists to work on it. 
• 5. It needs to be fkn awesome :)

With all that in mind, our decision had to be to create a separate Patreon and to make it all work with: something new, something old and something borrowed. 

Something Old - Sławek will be managing the design and all artists working on this project. (As Sławek is not writing this I can say that he probably has a bunch of cool sci-fi models in his drawer that he did not share with us yet so there are some epic models to be unveiled right from the start at Cyber Forge).

Something New - Michał "Alien" Marciniak has been working with us for many years creating media, animations and models but he is definitely someone new to you. He will be the 'Daniel' of sci-fi at Cyber Forge, he will manage the new Patreon in the same manner as Daniel manages this one. He is probably the biggest Sci-Fi nerd among all of us so with his knowledge and Sławek's design you can expect some next-level models. Alien will lead the new team of artists that were thoroughly tested. There are some sneak peeks of their work coming soon!

Something Borrowed - The final layout of releases is yet to be determined but you can expect a large variety of sci-fi models. A small part of those models will be revised versions of our X-Terra line that we released in resin some time ago. There will also be a ton of additions to the Cyberpunk line from March (your reaction to that line was the main reason for this project to be made). There are also many new grounds and inspirations we will be exploring.

Cyber Forge will feature new sci-fi characters, vehicles, mechs, bits, weapons, assets, terrain, bases, and more. However, most of all, we are looking forward to your ideas. As we speak, we have a lot of models already in the making and we are constantly searching for more concepts. Therefore, it is the best time to tell us what you would like to find in this Patreon. There is a great chance that we will follow up on that!

This will be a brand new thing, with new awesome people. We are sure that with some old 'Titan Forge' magic and your help it will grow into the top sci-fi STL Patreon and deliver countless miniatures that you will be thrilled to print and use.

We hope you are as excited as we are!

Happy Printing!

PS:  There have been many people covered today so you might wonder who is writing this post. Long story short, I am the guy with probably the worst job on our team :). My name is Roman and together with Sławek, we have co-founded Titan Forge. Even though this company was our idea of turning a hobby into work, there are countless boring aspects that I need to take care of. In order for our team of artists to work with joy and fun, they cannot think about money, taxes, accounting, new computers, software, advertising, contracts, health insurance, and many, many other things that are a part of running a company. It is not the coolest part of this business but in order to get those great, great models into your (and my) hands I am happy to do it :)
