New Collab with Dwarven Forge
5 months ago – Fri, Jun 21, 2024 at 06:46:26 AM

We're excited to announce that we yet another collaboration for MAZES City of Skull and this time it's with Dwarven Forge for an amazing maze build!

Patrick Clapp is our Mazes architect and module writer. He is heavily involved in the City of Skull worldbuilding and writing. Over the last few years he's been building amazing mazes for convention demos with his personal Dwarven Forge items.

For City of Skull he built THE BURNING PARADE maze and specifically tried to keep it as low cost as possible without losing the cool factor and I think he did that.

Here is his stop motion build.



Buy from Dwarven Forge and get a $40 9th Level Games gift card plus a Dwarven Forge gift card of $55 for unpainted set or $90 for the painted set! This is not a crowdfunding exclusive, they will be continuing to sell this for at least the next year.
