Hello everyone! Today is the last day to vote on my next big project!  Below you have a wide selection to choose from, varying from D&D books, books from publishers I have a good relationship with, or some personal projects I'd like to take on. Given there are plenty of good options below you're welcome to vote for more than one.

Keep in mind that not every single book and option out there is listed below for various reasons. Pathfinder isn't an option as the publisher didn't show any interest in me doing their works. I also won't be doing Critical Role content because I was asked not by those heavily involved in the creation of official CR content. I want to respect the wishes of the cast of CR by not making content from their works and I'm sure you all understand this. 

So with that vote away! Until this poll is complete I'll work on requests all of next week. Take care friends and thanks again for your support!

Pardon my naivety, I am new to 3d printing and a new patron--but just curious as to why creatures from the Critical Role universe are not included in your huge array of miniatures (which I appreciate and enjoy) Also, another suggestion might be Mordenkainen presents Monsters of the Multiverse. Thanks for the feedback and keep up the excellent work!

I was asked not to make CR minis by those heavily involved in the creation of official CR content. I want to respect the wishes of the cast of CR by not making content from their works. Also Monsters of the Multiverse is just a combination of all the Monster books that were already published and isn't out til later this year. Sorry friend.

Erik Niemi

My vote for dragons comes after an extensive and unsuccessful search for some of the gem dragons. Love the ones you've done so far, and hope for more soon!

Braden Pittman

I can hardly find any of the eberron specific models anywhere

Mog Watt

dragons, dragons, dragons... honestly everywhere there are already any dragons to print ^^ For Ravnica ! it's exotic and the future ! :) I'm suprised there is no the book about the Critical Univers (wildnut something), I remember that the models are very interesting.

knuckles904

Same on Eberron. He's uploaded a few artificer and related models but who doesn't want more of eberron's steampunky goodness

Cody H

Looks like I'm in a minority group wanting icewind dale. Prepping the adventure now to get started in the next month and im pretty stoked. But a few minis are tough to find i didnt expect to be, like a crag cat. Who would've thought lol

Lord of Eat

hmm.... there is no single book we want far more than the others... but we would definitely prefer WotC books over other sources, simply to get more books finished up. Did a rough count of monsters in most of the books above... All of the WotC 5e books sum up to roughly 416, not counting away those creatures MZ has made from them already. Mad Mage: 9 (or more?) Candlekeep: 27 Dragon Heist: 44 Witchlight: 46 Frostmaiden: 51 Saltmarsh: 51 Fizban: 61 (ish) Volo's Guide: 127 Tome of Beasts: 400+ Tome of Beasts 2: 400 Creature Codex: 422

Wyatt Erickson

Wow, surprised to see the dragons taking such a lead. I use so few dragons in my campaign, and they are so big to print. My vote is for more mid CR content. Stuff I can use in my campaigns. It might be good to have CR levels as options. I don't really care which books are source I just like lower mid level stuff, because that is where my games are. CR12ish and down.

Jwingrider

I guess I'm the odd-man out here... I had hoped for some Pathfinder specific monsters. I know most of the D&D monsters cross over but Pathfinder does have some that are unique to their system and since that's what my family plays I was holding out hope for some of their stuff. :P

Spencer Greve

I personally enjoy the adventure book monsters/NPCs. It really adds extra character to those campaigns. Plus they are short, typically. My alternate would be more aberrations/Lovecraftian creatures. It would allow your creativity to come out :)

Chris Jolin

Gem Dragonborn would be awesome to see

Will

I'd prefer to see more of the WoTC adventure modules get filled out. I have access to a fair amount of "general use" minis to begin with, so highly specific module-related models are of great value to me for "wowing" players.

Brian Gelb

Dragon Heist...mainly because I'm about to run that campaign. :D

Mike McKeown

Personally I think there are many dragons already in the catalogue (16 or more, not counting different ages and flying/standing variants), so I could easily print off one of those and paint to be any of those not already available. And lots of dragonborn too. So for me, Fizban's is a low priority. So I went for the latest "new" content, Witchlight. But the cryptids sound interesting too ...

Drakkenheart

I'd like whichever will give me more access to commercially available miniatures so that I can add them to my shop. While I print miniatures for my own table, I am building a business in my local area and need all the products I can get my hands on.

Michael Petner
>>77177742

Same. My wife is DMing her campaign soon and really wants a Jabberwock mini, luckily it's a higher level CR, so she wouldn't need it anytime soon, so it may be obvious my vote went to Wild Beyond the Witchlight lol

Danon Hargadin

Fey creatures are harder to come by, I agree with the post about there are many dragons I could print and paint to match gem dragons.

Michael Petner
>>77179471

In my wife's campaign that is starting in a few weeks, my buddy is running a gem dragonborn drakewarden, which would've been perfect if Fizbans wins, but I had him design it on Heroforge, and I printed it for him. I still would love to see MZ's take on it!

Chris

After two years of tearing through the MM you deserve some personal project time! Voted cryptids. ...and Tome of Beasts :v

Wyatt Erickson

Perhaps have a second survey seeing what CR minis people need/want.

Joshua

I’m not going to lie, I would love to see WDH, CM, and WBtW (in that order), because those are upcoming campaigns being run, and it takes time to do those models, but I would love to see Ghosts of Saltmarsh so we can get all the boats. I am thoroughly impressed by the Infernal War Machines, and it’s hard to get boats, much less of that high of quality, especially if there was a degree of modularity to customize them a little (or more).

Michael Chavez

really hoping witchlight pulls through… itll be my first time dming, got pushed back due to virus concerns and i fell in love with your work during the time i have before running it 😅

Taylor Innes

Personal Project all the way! Some Wendigo's would be cool

Noah Brosovic

Ravenloft! I need hexblood, reborn, and dhampirs along with all the spooky goods.

Vulture

definitely in favor of the (shorter) campaign splat books and modules. It is soooo nice to run a game and have *everything* I need to do it well.

BJohn170

Tome of Beasts has so many fantastic monsters

Wyatt Erickson

OK one other idea. While you wait for the survey to close you could make a couple cool flying bases. Something to spice up all your existing flying monsters.

Sami Abou-Hamda

Keeping my fingers crossed for witchlight. I know lots of people are going to be running that since it came out not long ago. Plus there are lots of fun models in there!

Marc Thür

Personally i hope for a short book because the chance of more books in 2 years. The normal monster book was a very good choose because everyone need them but now i hope a short obe wins

Sarah Saunders

Fingers crossed for Witchlight! Running it right now online but doing it in person later this year and love love love your minis!

Colton VanNortwick

I would like to request tales from the yawning portal, I know there's a few different models in there but maybe sort it based on the levels? There's more than a few personalized NP c's, and cool chances to branch out to different model types, for example the golthias tree

DrWild33Fire

Would you ever be interested in making Lovecraftian creatures? I know you have some of the gods already. Would love to see your talent applied to things like shoggoths. Thought for the future.

Tracey Radford

There's a game called Farsight RPG by Lightfish Games being developed. It would be cool to see the player races for that game done for when it's released.

Nuka

Voted for witchlight, but honestly would be stoked for any of the current top 5!

Ron

My main interest is commercial. Are there even any books there that would be acceptable for commercial use?

mz4250
>>77407178

No sorry, but that's why I'll still work on requests to mix things up.

Ron
>>77407178

In that case my vote is none of the above. :(

Leon Stratton

Just a note- MZ has no control over this, but still found a way to get those models to us for personal use. Thanks, MZ!

Paul Guy
>>77437952

Wizards/Hasbro has been surprisingly cool about 3d printing, especially given the fact they already have a relationship with WizKids. Meanwhile, Warhammer is falling on its face by not simply selling their own official models, and fighting the printing community.

Dallan
>>77437952

Paul Guy is right. I honestly would pay a premium price for Games Workshop STLs for personal use. Hell, I would even pay a premium price for those STLs if they used some sort of DRM too. I hope GS gets their business model together.

Azrael Ha Mavet

Where's the option for you to start back over from the beginning of the Monster Manual?! I mean, like you said, it's been 2 years! ;p JK! Keep up the great work!

Mike McKeown

How about you do Fizbans for two days a week, cryptids for two days a week, and requests any other days you choose to work? Then when you run out of cryptids to model, move on to Witchlight two days a week - then as each project finishes, move on to another (eg Tome of Beasts after Fizbans) but always be looking at two different groups of "book" models, plus keep the requests rolling? You would have variety of work, multiple groups of your followers would always have something to look forward to, etc. Yes, it would take twice as long to complete each individual book - but you wouldn't be thinking "another day, another dragon" for weeks on end ...

Jason Thompson

While I love your stuff, I personally feel there is a good reason to do a good once over on the MM again for errors and issues. For instance... the terrestrial gold dragon hatchling appears unfinished, and its not a simple resizing issue. I also get that the ancient models are "too big to support," except now bunches of us have Saturn sized home resin printers, and come to you for your outstanding presupported models that in this case, are not presupported unless you want the black dragon (Which I did. Thank you for this beautiful monster.) A second example: Drow are a bit unfinished if you are a drow fan... gotta have female drow elite warriors thown in there, given the Drow Matriarchal focus (female drow common fighters would be great too). However, if its time to move on, then Fizbans becomes my obvious choice given my above focus.

Encounter terrain

I am very much so looking forward to all the new dragons that look like will be coming, but for anyone with a commercial licence this kinda sucks. But still, with requests still being made regularly I am looking g forward to those, and the free giveaway options with the fizban stuff is good for social media stuff

Encounter terrain

Short and long of it… it’s all good stuff. Nice one MZ, keep doing your thing.

mz4250
>>77789983

Hello. I'm sorry you feel this way. The gold dragon wyrmling is very much complete and is in a sleeping pose. Its also medium sized creature sized and I just checked all files too. As for the drow I get that, but there are a variety of female elven warriors you can select from in the adventurers folder that can fit in for a female drow elite warriors and such. Thanks for the feedback though. Take care.

Gordon Pytlik

Time to start building all the avatars from the old Deities and Demigods book! :D

Jason Thompson
>>77789983

I am sorry. It had been a month or so since I had last tried to print the baby gold dragon, and misremembered the issue. The gold dragon wyrmling file's problem is not a sizing issue. However, when I pulled the presupported model from the google drive just now, it is not supported. It appears as if angled up for adding supports, but no actual supports or base for the print plate. I start and finish at your presupported models. Supports are a voodoo magic to me, that I understand at a base level but have no practice with, and frankly no time to try and fit in learning, at least not yet. Maybe that's just lazy on my part, but its the fact so many of yours come presupported, and your apparent dedication to (mostly) provide those presupported models, that was my driving factor to make a patreon account to give support to you. Not sure if I should read between the lines given what you left unaddressed regarding those ancients, but at the very least add my voice to those who would greatly appreciate if you could at some time tackle what I am guessing is otherwise a less than thrilling task. Thank you for having responded, and you take care too. I cannot overstate how grateful I am to you, and how much you have helped me enrich my tabletop gaming time with my family.

Can't be said enough, and keep on with the good work - I will keep on printing and painting those marvelous Minis. I like them a lot, and I already got quite a good selection.

Erik Niemi
>>77789983

I had no experience either, but tried a few settings (finer work for smaller models, and usually with models in a vertical position or leaning at an angle up). It's not that hard. Give supports a try!

Jason Thompson
>>77789983

Sincerely, thank you for the encouragement, I completely appreciate the spirit you gave it in. Not a favored topic, but for some people, clicking repeatedly/attempting to make micro-adjustments for individual support spots is much more problematic than compared to others. There are few user accessibility options that assist with the actual physical movements that a support placer will be making repeatedly and precisely. As of a few years ago, most of my ability to use my hands normally severely diminished. (I'd like to go back in time and get back a few million clicks from my time playing Diablo 2, please...) Bottom line, I was truthful in saying I don't have the time, and likely never will, as all tasks involving a computer are generally difficult and manually intensive, and therefore limited in exposure due to the pain involved. I don't mind that MZ doesn't seem terribly interested about what is or isn't supported. I can totally get how modeling a new Amethyst Dragon is WAY more fun than spending gosh knows how much time adding a bunch of scaffolding sticks to a model he considered finished maybe even two years ago. But I also don't mind asking of him if he would do it. Given he appears to have moved on, my next thought is to wonder if there is any interest within the community for those who are able, practiced, and willing to maybe help him fill out the missing spots and upload back to him for approval. Or if he is even open to that much. But that is for another day, and probably best discussed in PMs or similar first. After fixing this post up (even with TTS) and spending an hour pulling supports (successfully!) from the inside ribcage on MZ's skeletal warhorse model I printed overnight, I need a few hours for my hands to chill out.
