It’s perfectly possible to use the included standees and vertical terrain included in the Vault of Mini Things on a bare tabletop or battlemat. Sometimes, though, your adventures call for encounters in more confined areas. For those encounters, we provide flat Map Tiles of various sizes in full-color textures for Wilderness, Dungeon, Village Cobblestone, and Wood Floor. These textures are designed to work well with the terrain pogs that fit into each standee base, making each mini naturally fit into the scene.

The map tiles come in a multitude of square and rectilinear shapes, which enables you to quickly and clearly define rooms and connecting passageways. The Vault comes with 58 map tiles in all, including 10 special 2x2 illustrated ground effects for things like pit traps or carpets.
It's a trap!
Each map tile features a subtle 1 inch grid for easy positioning and compatibility with other terrain systems and battlemats–including the map tiles in our own Terrain of Tray add-ons--allowing for the construction of elaborate scenes.

Campaign: Community Achievement 10: Fiend Friends
The Fiend Friends achievement adds more of the lesser demons one tends to find in desecrated temples and cultist dive bars, and also introduces some of the heavy-hitters that such cultists tend to try to summon.
"Can someone point the way to Sanctuary?"
These demonic entities go by various names, some of which have scary Copyright implications, so let’s just call them “Huge Demon with Flaming Sword and Whip”, “Temptress Demon”, and “Demon with Way Too Many Arms”. On our honor, this fiendish stretch goal was planned way before we considered the synergy with this week's release of Diablo 4. So while we can’t guarantee that the Vault's fiends will explode with treasure if you tap on them, we can say that they’ll look fantastic on your table.
We hit a big milestone this week: over 500 backers! To keep things going, the Fiend Friends Community Achievement will be unlocked when we hit 750 total backers for the campaign. And as a way to get there, we’ve configured the Village People achievement to unlock when we hit a total of 500 shares on Facebook. These two achievements work hand-in-hand, as the best way to hit that backer goal is for the community to click the little F icon on the front page of the campaign and share on Facebook. To continue our Diablo theme: think of it like the village gathering together to summon a fiendish horde. Charming!
Sharing is caring!

JP asks:
Q: This concept seems extremely marketable longer term. If production goes smoothly, do you have plans to produce extra and sell them for higher prices on some sort of storefront? Also, many of us arrived here as huge fans of printableheroes. Is there any chance of new printablehero prints having variations to be cut that fit the provided mini bases?
A: We do intend to sell both the Vault as well as the Pouches and Trays via the TinkerHouse Games online store as well as through retail distribution. And we enjoy working with Marshall, and would love to issue new sets with his new art as time goes on.
Finally, this Discussion question was perfectly answered by community member DessieD!
Guilio asks:
Q: Hi, another good question i would ask is: The quality of the minis makes the durable? are the tough or are supposed to dissolve after 3-4 game session?
DessieD answered
A: The cardstock used for these Standees is 350gsm, which (as mentioned above) is above average thickness and durability. They're like casino-quality playing cards, which are durable enough to be used (and shuffled - which these Standees won't be shuffled) for quite some time! I'd guess that with proper handling and care, these Standees can last for years!
Again, thank you for the support. Everyone over here believes the Vault will really tie the room together, and with your help we can bring it forth!
