Stretch Goal Set III is "Basic Sets Ruined" - SGS IV Poll live now
almost 6 years ago

Hey everyone,
the Ruins Set completely crushed the poll with more than 15% over the forever-bridesmaid SciFi.
Even though I love to see SciFi finally making it onto the first place... The newcomer that joined this poll is prettyyy cool.
The new option for the poll is: FEUDAL ASIA. I described the set and why we are excited about it making it into the polls in more detail in the poll, but if you google Asian Temple you will get the idea.
Get your vote in while the campaign is still going :)
And we also have something else to ask of you. We are considering adding more airports and FM2 compatible tiles. But we first want to see how many of you are even interested in that. We feel like the collabs were really well received but we would love to have some numbers on that.
New Stretchgoals... New Collabs???

Hey everyone,
I feel like I wrote this update at least 15 times already, but once again you crushed all stretch goals and we have expanded the stretch goal road map once again.
We have added stretch goals up to 185k and we are getting pretty close to completing all additional options for the Castle Set!
Another thing I want to address are the social stretch goals. They are not going too well, even though we gain loads and loads of backers everyday. So I again want to emphasize this:
ONLY BACKERS COMING THROUGH THIS LINK COUNT TOWARDS THE SOCIAL STRETCHGOAL
It currently has 35/100 Backers, so reaching it is still doable in the last 8 days of the campaign! A lot of people said they would like to have it as an AddOn after the campaign, in case that it is not unlocked. We are thinking about that as well.
The last thing I want to address is... MORE COLLABS! I know how much you guys love it when I teasingly mention stuff like that, so yeah we are working on two more potential collabs, one of which we might be able to show you within this week still!
The same as last time, I would love to hear your guesses with who we collab and what the collab will be (mainly because I can harvest ideas from those hehehehe)
Cheers,
Christopher and the Townsmith Team!
Steampunk - Concept art finished!

Hey everyone,
Ore was hard at work during the last few days, getting to know our system and playing around with some steampunk concepts.
After a bit of going back and forth on what direction we want to take the set we found a really nice artwork online that inspired us to go for the lower end of steampunk civilisation. With this set we don't aim to create high, victorian style clocktowers, but rather the workshops and housings of the poorer folk.
And may I say, Ore nailed what we were going for. I hope you guys like his style of art, he basically created simple 3D models of everything and then works from renders of them. I personally am totally amazed by this workflow and it surely creates stuff that is 100x better than my sketches!
Without further ado: Here comes Steampunk!
Let us know what you think, and don't forget to use the following link when you talk about our Kickstarter on you socials so we reach the social media stretch goal:

Collab revealed! Free Modular Airports compatible with Skies of Sordane!
almost 6 years ago
– Tue, Apr 28, 2020 at 01:30:49 PM
Hey everyone!
As Benny and I have teased for the last few days, we are happy to announce that Townsmith and Arcane Minis have been working on a collab!
First off, for those who don't know what Arcane Minis is up to, you might better know them for their current Kickstarter: Skies of Sordane!
I’ll hand over the mic to Benny, the guy running Skies of Sordane and Arcane Minis:
“Hey everyone! Benny from Arcane Minis here. We are very excited to be working with Townsmith to make these airdocks come to life and work with our Skies of Sordane airships!
Skies of Sordane is all about arcanapunk airships. It is a world of magic interweaving itself into every facet of everyday life.
During our wild campaign, we unlocked 23 stretch goals which ended up making our totals for the campaign 18 airships with playable interiors and modular options (including Element Rings where applicable for you Eberron players) and 95 unique miniatures that are all different races and classes and modular as well!
As if that wasn't enough value for you, we are even offering our Kickstarter Exclusive Arcane Dragon STL that will only be available until May 1st from joining our campaign at one of our 2 all-in tiers (The Armada / The Fleet) or supporting Mini Monster Mayhem (sculptor of the Arcane Dragon) for the month of May. The Arcane Dragon and Kickstarter prices are only around until May 1st! So if you're interested in supporting us and you like great deals - now is the time!
Finally, in addition to our main pledge levels, we have 4 addons that include Mechanimals (mechanical animals), Shard Guardians (awesome magical constructs), a giant roc! And even a Rules Guide Supplement for using your airships in 5e!
So check out our late pledge manager and our Kickstarter campaign page for more info and hop aboard if you are feeling adventurous :)”
This awesome Airship Kickstarter closed not too long ago, and before all of this Kickstarter craziness began for us here at Townsmith, we had already backed Skies of Sordane at the highest level because Tom and I were both blown away by their price-performance ratio and quality.
If you back before May 1st at the Armada or Fleet level you can secure yourself this awesome deal, get your hands on beautiful airships that fit with our airports and show the guys over at Arcane Minis some love from us.
“Oh wait, what? Airports? The Townbuilder features no airports!”, I hear you scream, “We asked for them like 200 times and you always responded super vaguely! What are you talking about Christopher?” Well here we are now…
Though the World of Sordane is Arcanapunk, not Steampunk we wanted to get this collab going and test out if our backers are even interested before committing to something bigger (hint-hint ;))
So we decided to test the waters and at the same time give you guys something for free!
WE WILL ADD MODULAR AIRPORTS TO THE STEAMPUNK SET FOR FREE!
Benny and his team will also create interchangeable stands that can raise and lower the airships, allowing you to dock them to our airports at the perfect height! We will work closely together on this to make all airship entrances match our 50mm floor heights.
These will follow the same design principle as all of our stuff: Modularity is king here at Townsmith.
As you can see in the sketch below, airports will be available in any width and length, though you might have to get creative to make them stretch out super far without your building tipping over :D
So to give you a basic idea here: the airdocks will be made up of multiple parts which will allow for max modularity. First we will have the lower part of the airdock, which will be expandable in width but we will have to create individual models for different depths that extrude from the building. We will probably start with a 5ft and 10ft one.
Then we have the upper part of the airport, which will be made from the normal Steampunk floor tiles and railings, but then also feature themed hinges/sockets.
Then we have the gangway or bridge. This also is built from our floor tiles and railings, but will feature the counterparts of the hinges, which will click into them using hemispheres. They will then still be movable, allowing you to lower and raise the bridge, maybe even using yarn or cables, making it a drawbridge. This bridge then connects to the Skies of Sordane Airships.
Note that the airport will be connected to the building, while the bridge is not. They should be printed separately. But they will remain support free if we can engineer the hinges well enough.
If you guys like this and want more, we will consider creating airports for all of our sets and maybe also some themed bridges for the different fleets of Sordane... Just imagine a fleshy tentacle bridge connecting to the Mind Flayer Nautiloid.
I think I personally am as excited about this collab as you guys are!
Leave your thoughts and questions below, as always we will read them all!
Cheers, Christopher, the Townsmith Team and the Arcane Minis Team!
