Monster Scenery: Metropolis is a full line of tabletop terrain created for urban settings. Metropolis is a modular city building system based on a clips system. Mix and match different layouts and textures to create your own playable city! Metropolis is created out of high quality HDF board, and cut using a precise laser engraver, and then printed upon with a high quality UV printer.
Starting from a Kickstarter, the Metropolis project was sold at a loss due to production inefficiencies. In 2022, I was brought onto the project and given free reign. With a few recommendations, and revamping of the project, Metropolis became the best seller of Monster Fight Club's Scenery line, and became the highest profiting product on offer on their store. I spent the next few months creating new products and new sets for the ever expanding customer base Metropolis created. Thanks to its modularity, and setting ambiguity, Metropolis was soon purchased by players of all sorts of popular games for use as terrain. It was a pleasure running the Metropolis project, and big thanks to Monster Fight Club for the opportunity, and for trusting my recommendations.
