A Return to the World of Faerie
A nostalgic trip to the whimsical fae realm, featuring custom painted miniatures inspired by folklore and Brian Froud’s Faeries artwork.

"To believe in faeries is to step into an enchanted space where the rational mind meets the irrational heart, and all things become possible." ~ Brian Froud

Not to be the fun police but I do hope people know that Arc Raiders does use generative AI for voice acting, and by supporting the game you're letting higher-ups know that this is an okay practice.
They try to downplay this on the Steam store page by describing the AI usage as vaguely as possible.

I've got a range of beautifully sculpted modern urban figures, but haven't found a decent set of rules to use them with... so I decided to make my own mini set of rules, and thought they'd make a good release for this month. #wargame #skirmish #miniatures

Work in progress of the kid's miniature cafe set.
I've made replacement polymer clay food.
Also swapped out the included aquarium plants with papercraft foliage because we absolutely hated the fake plastic look.
Almost done, just need to make more plants to replace what we don't like.
