Plan an Adventuring Party Keepsake Set

A custom adventuring party set starts with the characters that belong together: player characters, recurring NPCs, companions or a campaign display. Prepare them as one project so the size reference, desired finish and approval responsibilities are clear.

What belongs in the set?

  • Main characters with their essential pose, clothing and equipment.
  • Original companions or familiar creatures, with their relative size stated.
  • Recurring NPCs that matter to the campaign.
  • Any proposed bases or shared display arrangement, subject to feasibility review.

List the number of different designs separately from the number of copies. Four characters with one copy each are a different request from four copies of one character. Neither example is a minimum order or an established package.

Plan the group before individual details

Decision What to provide
Shared scale Measurement reference and an existing figure to match, if relevant.
Character differences Intentional height differences, poses and projecting equipment.
Bases Desired footprint and whether pieces will be displayed together.
Approval One project contact and any individual character approvals.
Timing Required arrival date, destination and whether the whole set must arrive together.

Choose the correct starting route

If the characters need modelling, send an original-character brief with references you are authorized to use. State uncertain details instead of letting different contributors assume different things. Discuss finish and any sample request in the project scope.

If you have printable models, use the file-printing route. Review the permissions for each file, not only the permission for the first character. For a mixed project, explain which figures have files and which still need design work so those tasks can be scoped separately.

Party-set questions

How many figures should I request?

Use your roster. Include only the characters and copies you need, then ask for a project quote. There is no universal party size.

Can we share the cost?

The group can plan its own contributions, but should identify who approves and places the request. Sharing payment does not expand a file’s permissions.

Can we sell copies?

Make intended resale explicit at the start. Personal-use approval or a catalogue license does not establish a commercial agreement for custom characters.

How do we keep the set consistent?

Use the same measurement convention and record approved changes for every figure. Ask the project reviewer how pose and character size will affect the final group.

Give a group of characters a coherent starting brief before discussing individual poses and equipment. A party set needs a shared size reference, a clear roster and an approval contact. Whether it is a campaign souvenir or a personal group purchase, explain its use and timing at the start.

Give a party set one shared brief

A set of adventuring-party figures works best when the group agrees on the basics before individual details are developed. Decide whether the set is a campaign keepsake for display or a group of figures intended to sit beside existing gaming pieces. Then give every character the same size reference.

  • Create a roster with one name or identifier per figure and the number of copies needed.
  • Record each character’s essential pose, clothing and equipment.
  • Choose a shared height convention and base requirements, allowing for intentionally different character sizes.
  • Identify who can approve the whole set and who must approve each character.
  • Provide the required date and explain whether all pieces must arrive together.

Use original or properly authorized references. A group paying together does not change the permissions attached to a downloaded model. Nor does a personal keepsake order automatically include permission to sell copies.

Request a party-set assessment with the roster. Quantity, finishing, revisions and timing belong in that project’s quote; do not apply retail-wholesale minimums to a custom commission.
