✦ A Christian tabletop studio
Terrain Brain is a Windows, Mac and Linux app that builds print-ready hex and square terrain, playable family board games, RPG minis and lantern shells. A Kickstarter is coming. The list hears first — and gets a free bonus pack of tiles for joining.
Terrain Brain
Designed for resin and FDM, on a 60 mm pointy-top grid with a 4 mm plinth — the same fit used in The Faith Engine’s own games. A 3D preview lets you turn the model before you export.
01 · Terrain
More than 300 procedural variants — mountains, calderas, coasts, ruins — plus official sculpted tiles from Remnants to Revelation, The Crusades, Silent Night and Mighty Men. Generated tiles print at 59.4 mm FDM; official sculpts use the studio’s 59.8 mm FDM fit.
02 · Board games
Chess, checkers, tic-tac-toe and a family of other games with rule-accurate boards and pieces that actually fit their squares. Boards split to land on a 256 mm Bambu bed. Classic chess and checkers ship free with the base app.
03 · Characters
A character builder based on The Faith Engine’s own RPG heroes. Scale to 28, 32, 54 or 75 mm, add a round or hex base, a name plate and a magnet pocket, and export a printable mini and a play card.
04 · Lanterns
Printable lantern shells that fit a half-pint mason jar and hold a puck light — gothic, dungeon, dragon-scale and more, for the table or the shelf.
From the studio
Free bonus pack
Rocky Ford, Stream Straight 2, Burning Ground, and a 5 mm riser that stacks under any official 60 mm Faith Engine hex. They use the same 59.8 mm FDM fit as the studio’s own tiles, and they print with no supports. Personal use, for list members only.
You will also be the first to hear when the Kickstarter opens, including early-bird pricing.
Questions
A desktop app (Windows, Mac and Linux) — and a web version — that builds print-ready STL terrain, family board games, RPG minis and lantern shells for a Christian tabletop. It is the tool behind The Faith Engine’s own 60 mm grid.
No. The free listings on MakerWorld, Printables and Thingiverse are complete STLs. You can slice and print them without the software. The app is how you build the other 300+ variants, official game packs, more board games, and custom minis.
FDM and resin. Official Remnants-to-Revelation sculpts use a 59.8 mm FDM / 59.6 mm resin fit; generated 60grid tiles are 59.4 mm FDM / 59.7 mm resin. Both seat in a 60 mm pointy-top tray with a 4 mm plinth. Minis are happy at 0.12–0.16 mm on a 0.4 mm nozzle, finer on a 0.2 mm or a resin printer.
The sample models are free, for personal use. The app is planned at $199 for the base (one set of built-in hexes, the generator, and free classic chess, checkers and tic-tac-toe). Full game packs are planned at $99 each. Early-bird pricing will go to this list during the Kickstarter.
Three official tiles that are not in the public Starter Hex Sampler — Rocky Ford, Stream Straight 2, and Burning Ground — plus a 5 mm stacking riser. They use the 59.8 mm FDM fit and print with no supports. We send them by email after you join, as a digital product, not as a public download.
When the list is strong enough — the studio is aiming for about 1,000 emails before opening the campaign. Join and you’ll get a date, not a surprise.
Print them for yourself, your table and your family. Please don’t sell the files, don’t sell the prints, and don’t re-upload them to MakerWorld, Printables, Thingiverse or anywhere else. That’s a Standard Digital File License / CC BY-NC-ND equivalent.
