## How to get OpenForge tiles?
The entire OpenForge collection with all the models released through 12/2023 can be bought on a single USB stick in the official online store, [Masterwork Tools](https://masterwork-tools.com/shop). It’s $35 for about 1,400 unique designs (and ~12,000 stl files, almost 128 gigs). The USB stick will be updated at the end of each year. Furthermore, all designs remain available on [Patreon](https://www.patreon.com/masterworktools), [Thingiverse](https://www.thingiverse.com/devonjones/designs) and [MyMiniFactory](https://www.myminifactory.com/users/devonjones), but this is a nice convenience if you don’t want to spend all that time downloading files. Not every file is in each of these places (well, except the USB stick and the dropbox). Currently all releases will be made available through patreon, open for anyone not just paid supporters. In addition patrons (paid supporters) get access to [Dropbox](https://www.patreon.com/posts/openforge-32812777) where Devon shares every design, and even the blender and other files that are used when designing them. Although to get access to the blender files, you will have to ask Devon nicely, but won't worry, he is friendly and does not bite. The Dropbox is updated with every release and should contain the entire collection in a single location, including the files released in the current year not yet available on the USB.
The entire OpenForge collection with all the models can be found in three locations:
* A USB that can be bought from the official online store, [Masterwork Tools](https://masterwork-tools.com/shop). It contains all models released until 12/2024 and is $35 for about 1,400 unique designs (and ~12,000 stl files, almost 128 gigs). The USB stick will be updated at the end of each year.
* [The OpenForge catalog](https://staging.openforge.tools/), It's a website which contains all releases, catagorised and tagged making search and finding what you are looking for very easy. A detailed explanation can be found [further down](#the-openforge-catalog)
* The [Dropbox](https://www.patreon.com/posts/openforge-32812777) which is something which all paid supporters get access to. OpenForge has a [Patreon](https://www.patreon.com/masterworktools) which contains the details on how to access the Dropbox.
Furthermore, all designs remain available on [Patreon](https://www.patreon.com/masterworktools), [Thingiverse](https://www.thingiverse.com/devonjones/designs) and [MyMiniFactory](https://www.myminifactory.com/users/devonjones), but this is a nice convenience if you don’t want to spend all that time downloading files.

## OpenForge 2.0 sets
With OpenForge being a modular terrain tile system, having a single theme just does not cut it, as there are many locations in which your game can take place. A dungeon ([Dungeon stone](https://www.thingiverse.com/devonjones/collections/10379614/things), [Cut stone](https://www.thingiverse.com/devonjones/collections/5345392/things), [Rough stone](https://www.thingiverse.com/devonjones/collections/8115136/things)), [City streets](https://www.thingiverse.com/devonjones/collections/9387994/things), [Towne](https://www.thingiverse.com/devonjones/collections/14352902/things), [Caverns](https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3871687), [Dwarven halls](https://www.thingiverse.com/devonjones/collections/11758683/things), [Mines](https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3944831), [Volcanos](https://www.thingiverse.com/search?q=OpenForge+2.0+Volcanic+Cavern&page=1), and so many more. Besides the larger themed sets, various other smaller categories exist, such as, scatter terrain, miniatures, encounters. The development of the various sets is partially community driven, with Patreon members being able to vote on the development roadmap, the vote tally can be found [here](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1pq_3NUdwnaPUl4y6qhgjCeNMWWWCSBS8Vjr9oWl6qLE/edit?usp=sharing). And some artistic freedom for whatever inspires Devon. As such, some more popular sets have more varied pieces available than others. This of course does not mean that the less popular sets should be overlooked as they are still amazing in their own right. How many adventures do you play in a volcano compared to a dungeon. The links above are just to give some examples of the sets out there. Please take a look at all the [other amazing OpenForge 2.0 creations](https://www.thingiverse.com/search?q=openforge+2.0&page=1) Devon and the community have created over the years. Please make sure that "OpenForge 2.0" is in the title, so you have the 2.0 version. Found a set you want to build? Great!
