BEHIND HANDCRAFTED HEROES

Crafted by hand.
Created for your adventures.

From Arianna’s first drawings to the box you open at your table: meet the people and the work behind our worlds.

Finished Broken Oath and Medèrra boxes with painted miniatures, handmade dice and printed adventure materials. — Both worlds brought to your table

01 · ILLUSTRATION

Every hero
begins with a drawing

Before a miniature reaches your table, Arianna, our illustrator, gives the character its first visual identity. Her drawings are the starting point for the journey from an imagined world to a physical hero.

02 · DIGITAL SCULPTURE

From Arianna’s drawings
to Nicolas’s sculptures

Nicolas, our sculptor, translates the illustrations into three-dimensional characters. Digital sculpture is part of our craft: a creative process that gives volume and presence to the figures you will meet in our adventures.

03 · PRINTING & PREPARATION

Printed, cleaned
and prepared by Musha

Musha prints the miniatures, cleans them and prepares them for painting. This is where the digital character becomes a physical piece, ready for the next stage of work.

04 · HAND PAINTING

A brush, a character,
a human touch

Musha paints the miniatures by hand. Federica has joined the team to paint and help bring more of our heroes to life, and Luigi will be joining us too.

Each painted miniature carries the attention of the person working on it. Behind the colours you see at the table are real hands, time and care.

05 · RESIN DICE

We make the dice, too

Our craft continues beyond the miniatures. We also make resin dice: another part of the adventure that takes shape through our own work, before it becomes part of your next roll.

06 · STORIES, LAYOUT & ENGLISH TRANSLATION

The worlds
are written here

Musha and Franco write the stories and create their page layouts. Characters, places and adventures take shape on the page alongside the miniatures.

Musha also works on the English translations, helping our worlds reach more gaming tables.

07 · BOXES & PROTECTIVE PACKAGING

Prepared with care
for the journey

We prepare the boxes and their protective, shock-absorbing packaging. The care that goes into making the adventure continues when we put it together for its journey to your table.
