“The tentative name I’m giving the dungeon this conversation has inspired is: The Forest Shrine of the Nine Tailed Fox.””

My friends at WV Fox have collaborated with me to design a bespoke set of terrain suitable for table top gaming. This piece is destined to be auctioned off at their 24-hour gaming event scheduled for Star Wars Day, May the 4th 2019 (#puns). You can learn more about the team at WV Fox and Extra Life in my accompanying blog post here. Now on to the project!
From our initial conversation we decided on an outdoor shrine dedicated to a celestial fox with a Japanese theme. I immediately pictured a weathered granite shrine on a modest plinth surrounded by polished flagstones, bamboo and cherry blossoms. The polished obsidian inserts for the fox’s eyes glinted in the light from ornamental lanterns.
I ended up sourcing many items from third parties who were more than helpful with 3D printing, and/or shipping items to be rushed on short notice, and for that I am very grateful. In the end my first commission raised almost $400 at the charity auction, with the proceeds benefiting the Cincinnati Children’s Hospital. I can’t wait to work with the folks at Team WV Fox on another piece in the future.
2019 Team WV Fox Charity Silent Auction
All the pieces arrived on site safe and sound. Bidding was fierce and we were able to raise almost $400 for charity from this single commission.
