Part of Tribes and Patreon April 2025 release.
This set is part of the Theater Stage Bundle.
Modular, multilevel and versatile, you can make highly decorated stages such as the one shown in the renders, or you can go for smaller and plainer ones, with a simper shape, no walls at all on the base and simple wood borders to fit a less "opera-like" structure. You can make them shorter (just using the top half of the walls), or taller (by stacking more on top), and you can even play beneath the stage itself, fighting close quarter battles under the supporting structure, accessible via trapdoors. From small town square stages to high brown opera house ones, this set should cover all the needs for theater terrain!
I knew I wanted to make a curtain for this theater, in case some people wanted to print it rather than make one with hobby materials or cloth (which is always a great idea, imo!). I tried many different ways (which failed!) to achieve the effect before landing on this final model. The result is a high detail large slate of resin, so I suggest printing it with care (be ready to do some bending and heating (hairdriers work great!) to get it to the intended shape). The many folds should help preserve the design, but the final result depends on printing condition, resin type, etc.. That said, it is easily removable as the fights begins thanks to magnets and rods. Any stage battlefield you prepare behind it will be hidden from players until that very moment, which in my opinion creates good, tense expectation at the table :) I imagine going dark with it: characters ventured into the town's theater by night, following the threads of a demonic or eldritch cult. They hear chanting and see lights behind the curtains, but a fight with cult members breaks out in front of the stage. As soon as the characters have the upper hand, the curtains open, revealing a sacrificed actor, a summoning circle and the monstrosity just called forth by cult sorcerers. The tides have shifted.
There is also a bonus: with pillars and columns given in the set you can build the boundaries of wooden buildings, which is always a good way to give an idea of a room in case you don't have time to place down all its parts.
If you want to go crazy you can even build different levels for the crowd sits to go in front of this stage, making a full stage and audience setup. It would be a perfect map for an assassin strike, carefully time at the moment of higher tension in the show enacted on the stage. I imagine bringing out this setup at the table will make the session memorable, as characters try to catch the assassin by jumping through chairs and climbing the stage. Or maybe it is the other way around and it is them that are sent to kill someone in the audience, or someone performing. Or, again, the group bard is performing on stage, a bait for the agents of the party's enemies. Will the heroes stop them in time?
All the models are test printed and presupported.
