First Post
I have dungeon tiles, I have enough dungeon forge sets to make a decent 3 encounter dungeon, I have battle mats. What I don't have enough of are things to furnish them. While I don't mind 2 dimensional battlemats and tiles, I hate 2D props. Most of my players ignore props that are 2D, not noticing them or not realizing that they are props. This is irritating, given how these things can affect line of sight, movement, etc.
I have tried to make or find things to use as 3D props, but it is difficult as not too many companies make them. For example, I have Dwarven Forge doors (all wooden). Mage Knight tables and chairs, pillars, some statues. DDM sarcophagi, statues, and that bear trap thing. Various miscellaneous things that I've picked up like a few beds, a couple of altars, a throne & barrels. I've made a few things such as stone sarcophagi (out of sculpy), trees, shrubbery, & crates (wooden blocks).
For any companies out there that read these boards, please note my humble request for more props. Here's some stuff I'd like to have (all scaled to fit the 25mm miniature scale of course):
Fireplace (as in something you'd see in an inn)
Couches
Area rugs (yeah, I know its 2D, but still)
Stone doors
Iron doors
Cages
Evil dungeon trappings, such as statues, archways, idols, etc.
Burning cauldrons of various sizes
Arcane laboratory stuff, such as tables full of beakers, book shelves of small, medium and large sizes, strange arcane machinery, etc.
Miscellaneous shelves of small, medium and large size
Stairs of various widths and height, both straight and curved ( a spiral stair would be pretty cool)
Torture devises, like a rack, iron maiden, etc.
I'm sure there's more stuff I'd like, but that's what comes to mind. If anyone out there knows where I could pick up some of this kind of stuff, please share or feel free to add to the wish list. Maybe someone will see an opportunity and start producing more of this stuff.

Add a gallery or balcony and it gets even better - I have even had a chandelier swing occur in game (no fig for the chandelier, though).
