That's AMAZING! Check it out!

An origami beholder? Origami mind flayers? Unbelievable.

That is awesome.

Now... Can I get some origami tables and chairs as a starting point?

 

[Scratched_back]

That is one of the most creative things I have ever seen with regards to D&D.

Utterly fantastic.

That's one of the coolest gaming accessories I've ever seen.

As an origami enthusiast and a DM, I've been drooling over these for ages. My DMing career simply won't be complete until I plop down his ancient wyrm in front of my players. Unfortunatly, he doesn't seem to do much diagramming of his models, and I'm not nearly good enough to come up with something like that on my own.

I've only used an origami mini in game once. It was a "gelatinous cube" folded from clear celephane. If you fold a traditional waterbomb out of 6" paper, it's exacly the right size for a large creature .

I love origami, too, and his site makes me so jealous. I really wish I had that kind of talent. I love your idea for the gelatinous cube! I'm going to have to steal that.

Wow, very cool. Thanks for the link!

That is so cool. If the guy was to put them up on Ebay for sale, he'd probably make a fortune.

The artist, Joseph Wu, makes his living doing Origami. He's a really great guy (I don't know him personally, but I'm on the Origami-L, where he's a very vocal participant).

I've done Robert Neale's dragon for my games a couple of times. Unfortunately it's not available anywhere online that I can find. For anyone who's interested, I strongly recommend starting with a book like "Teach yourself origami" (By Lang, or Montroll, I can't remember...).

Look at http://www.origamidatabase.com/
to see what's out there.

Origami is great for quick throwaway models! And fantasy creatures are very popular with origami-ists (dragons, pegasi, unicorns, etc... are done again and again).
