Interest in Future Sci-Fi Sets?

[HeroQuestFrance]

The are many problems with it, the same that the old 3D MAGE KNIGHT dunegon tiles.
You cannot make adjacent rooms, you cannot place step by step the passages and rooms since each time you have to move everything. that's why I didn't support the project.

I've found out a spanish project (3d printing) very interesting instead and just dealt special prices with a french professional company to print me everything in quantities I need. So let's say that now I have finished the SciFi resin universe. I let you the link below :

Kickstarter : https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/sp ... es?lang=fr
Website & shop online : https://www.kraken3dstudios.com/

Details are amazing and perfectly correspond to what I ever wanted for sci fi games.
I just got 3 samples in my hand so I said a big "yes" to the production.
The shop online doesn't contain all ks pieces yet but it will come.

The advantage is that you can tie or not the pieces on the table.

I don't know if this is funny or sad, but I followed the link to the KS mentioned and thought "Oh, this looks really cool!" Then I noticed at the top of the page that I had pledged to the KS already... I think I may back too many KS's...

True that all those elements were so great !
So sad DF is locked into Heroic Fantasy for years.
May be one day we'll get more… let's cross fingers.

There's a nice Kickstarter that is running. Heroic Fantasy & scifi tiles.
I just spent 200$€ to buy their products walls & tiles.
I will complete my scifi collection and allows me now to get bigger boards to play games like space Hulk, space crusade, the thing, resident evil 2 or Deep Madness.
It's a great alternative to the lack of SF in DF products.

Link? Can't find it. Thanks.

Any funky planar terrain works as sci-fi (Underdark and Hellscape, for example). It does sound like we will get more in KS7.

I agree that one of the central tricks in SF terrain is the lack of an adequate consensus as to the default. With fantasy, a basic flagstone dungeon is an obvious core. It works for a ton of things, and even as “basic dungeon” it’s an agreed-upon iconic basic location. With SF, there is no similar consensus.

That’s why I tried to reduce it to at least a basic three to start with:

1) What DF already did. This placates people who have already invested in that, and additionally happens to be a pretty good look so I’d be happy to see more.

2) Dirty industrial future (see Aliens, Terminator, Battlestar Galactica, Brazil, Mad Max, Geonosis)

3) Clean and smooth future (see Star Trek, Minority Report, Bespin, Kamino).

I realize there’s a ton more (I’d love a SW setting since there are multiple SW minis lines, but licensing issues make that impossible - still, a basic wall and floor pattern of glossy black floors and matte grey walls would be a start!). But this captures at least the spirit of the differences. Put it this way - people who love grungy SF dystopias aren’t going to be able to work with a sleek marble-and-glass set, and people who want a Star Trek-like future era of exploration and innovation won’t want dirty catwalks and exposed wiring. At least they can vaguely meet their needs with this approach, even if it’s impractical to think that specific locations could be done for every iconic SF setting.

We would be very interested in Sci Fi terrain

We would be particularly interested in space craft internals for boarding action scenarios. We got the FW Realm of Battle Zone Mortalis boards which are great but do not have the level of modularity a DF set would have.

But what style would they go for? there are so many more than for a castle or dungeon.

...

a) Some planet exterior, let the sculptor’s imagination go wild. Something combining Rick and Morty and Futurama, presumably - giant Dr. Seuss-esque plantlife or rock formations or both.

....

So we think KS7 will have something along these lines

To requote Nate from KS6.66 Update #19:

"Good news - the Dreadportal indeed carried us out of the Nine Hells. However, we've found ourselves in a untamed stretch of forest filled with savage beasts, otherworldly plants, and a mysterious eldritch glow on the horizon. It may be months before we can bushwhack our way back to Valoria.

But rest assured, as soon as we return we will tell you tales of what we have discovered, out here in the Wildlands..."

I am going to start playing Fragged Kingdom soon, a fantasy spin off of Fragged Empire — a SciFi RPG. The story of the fantasy world in FK is that the high tech species decided for some reason to abandon this world, removing all technology and leaving the citizens in a medieval state. Of course, after some decades, the truth is forgotten and the former tech-masters are transformed into gods in the common lore.

Of course, every now and then, the adventurers find some old sacred places with leftovers from those gods — spaceships, Control-centres etc.

I really love that setting. Therefore, I would definitely be in for a room or two, if DF did new SciFi terrain in dwarvenite. But I agree to a few posts before: it should look a bit more old and dirty, rather than start-trek-y.

I jumped on the DF ship later than the majority on this forum so for me there´s a lot of fantasy terrain I would invest in before going in with a larger amount of money on a Sci-fi KS. The majority of the RPG´s I play/DM is also fantasy so would expect Sci-fi terrain getting stored away and be used very rarely. But after so many fantasy Kickstarters I would not be surprised or blame them if they went with a Sci-fitheme soon.
