About Us

We’re Dwarven Forge, a company of artists and gamers, dreamers and designers. Since 1996, we’ve been on a mission to create high-quality terrain that we’d use on our own table.

For more than 25 years we’ve dedicated ourselves to crafting miniature terrain with a focus on playability, modularity, and durability. 

Gamers all over the world use Dwarven Forge to tell stories, make battlefields, stage beautiful photos, and build lasting memories with their friends.

Like our bearded namesake, we take great pride in what we create. We cast our pieces in Dwarvenite® for fine details, great heft, and extreme durability so they’ll last for a lifetime of adventures.

Dwarven Forge is a team of die-hard gamers, geeks, and artists. Each project is inspired by the games we play and the scenes we want to build for them. 

Fantasy or Sci-Fi, RPG or Wargame, we test everything on our own game tables first.

Since 2012, we’ve run 13 successful crowdfunding campaigns, covering dungeons, castles, caverns, cities, sewers, swamps, forests, mountains, sci-fi bunkers, and more.

Dwarven Forge was the brainchild of classically trained sculptor and painter—and lifelong gamer—Stefan Pokorny. Yearning for a terrain system to complement his collection of miniatures, he set out to sculpt the first-of-its-kind: a modular, 3-D terrain system that came fully hand-painted.

Stefan unveiled his first dungeon sets at Gen Con '96 and they sold out in 4 hours! Dwarven Forge—and the modular terrain space—was born.

Dwarven Forge truly thrives because of our fans. Their passion, creativity, and feedback inspire every facet of our craft. 

If you’ve supported us through our campaigns or the webstore, we thank you from the bottom of our hearts. If you haven’t yet, we warmly invite you to join the Dwarven Army and start building!
