How would one go about assembling one of those?

It's so simple it's EZ!

Actually, this is a very simple card model to build, I built this one in a couple hours this morning.

I usually dont go for the fan-boy thing...but this is EXACTLY what I've been looking for...big screen, castle, die roller (and not $200 plus dollars from a distributor)! My only regret is that it is not fully functional in that it does not have charts from the phb (or an easy way to include the info apart from taping it yourself). Regardless, I'll be checking the site often until it's released!

What sort of paper did you print it out on?

110 lb cardstock (the thin kind you find in the school supply aisle at places like Wal Mart.)

Is this a cardstock that they would be able to print on if I took the pdf to somewhere like officemax? I've been looking at your products and trying to find one that would really justify me buying it and taking it somewhere like that, since I don't have a color printer, and this might be the one. The dice rolling pits are really really cool.

Yes, Officemax or Staples can run 110lb cardstock just fine.

I use a crappy HP color printer to print to cardstock models. 110 lbs isn't that thick really - a little thinner than maybe posterboard you'd use for a grade school project.

You should be fine at Office Max or whatever.

No need to hack it. We designed the outer wall sections to have swappable rear panels, it won't be any problem for the end user to make their own panel to the same dimension and swap it out.

This thing is hilarious. I mean that in a good way.

I've got more than a couple of artsy-fartsy players who know their way around an exacto knife. (In fact I have one who's a packaging designer with access to some heavy-duty equipment.)

I'm going to subtly suggest this as a DM birthday gift.

I just sent a link to this thread to the podcasters group. I think you're gonna see a lot of talk and promotion of this item in our shows.

Wonderful

Can't wait to get my hands on this. Great product! Fits right in to my game and I will be swapping out the backs with a couple of charts from the PHB and DMG. Thanks for the great product.

Wow! That looks amazing! And I love the fact that you can do your own back panels if you want.

One quick question though. Does it disassemble at all for storage? My wife and I live in a little house and we have a toddler and an infant. Space is definitely at a premium!

Is anyone going to tackle maybe doing some pdfs of charts in the same dimensions as the back panels...? Maybe different sets could be posted here. Pathfinder, 3.5, 4e, even OD&D could all be done up. That would be an awesome community project.

I'd take a stab myself, but as I mentioned, toddler, infant, yada, yada.

Awesome. I almost bought a wooden model of a similar idea at GenCon (at $75 bucks). I am soooo glad I didn't. I <3 cardstock!

I'd recommend just not gluing the outer panels to the dice towers. You could easily use paperclips on the bottoms of the grass sections to affix to the towers (they'd be underneath it and invisible) and then just pull apart for storage.
