Excavation Finished!

Hi everybody,

the Excavation at Mount Mor is finished!

This release is composed by four sets:

- The Obelisk. A huge model (50 cm tall and 10 cm x10 cm wide) that can be glued together or assembled with pins or magnets. If you choose to keep it "modular" you can remove layer by layer of the terrain as the encounter develops, revealing the gargantuan Eldritch Guardian, the monster full of tentacles and eyes you can see in the renders. Among the images you can find its pieces list with a few instructions, and the same goes for the Guardian. Two tops are given in case you don't want this model to be related to tentacles and plan on using it for something else.

- Excavation Objects and Props, and Tents. A set of scatter terrain to furnish basically any humanoid-made camp or even building, with decorated crates, tables, excavation tools and so on. You can combine it with previous sets to make it even more varied and detailed.

- Eldritch Dungeon Doors. For this one I wanted to make a magical/eldritch terrain piece that could be used several ways. It can be a portal, a magic circle, a dungeon door or, an idea that I particularly like, the hatch of an eldritch vessel! I imagine characters finding it as they follow the trail of dead archeologists: they maanged to open it, but not to release the monster in the Obelisk. That's probably going to be the characters' fault. They venture into what they believe to be a dungeon and later find out it is actually a buried vessel. A good starting point for a oneshot!

- Eldrtich Objects and Props. A set of scatter terrain obelisks with a few extra details and a couple of iconic Eldritch statues. I can imagine using the Elder Thing statue early in the campaign in a museum or noble/mobster mansion that the characters are infiltrating. The artifact, of course, has some weird powers that they have to face. Later in the campaign a wealthy NPC hires them to retrieve a second statue similarly made, which leads them to the escavation and the encounter with the Obelisk.

That's it! Once again I aimed at giving versatile sets for any table without sacrificing the theme of the release. Some of this scenery could be used for sci-fi games too. Let me know what you think about them! :)

While the last folders are uploaded on drive, I have sent out invites to redeeem the files on MMF. I suggest getting them that way first: I will update the links post as soon as everything is up.

You may have notice that the cart expansion is missing. It will come later next week as I finish it up: I wanted to get the main release to you asap since I will be afk for a few days.

That's it for now. I'll be back in a few days with the cart expansion, the poll results (it looks like it's going to be the Iron Fortress) and the next poll.

Thanks for the support, and I wish you happy hobby time! :D
