Kiln-Born // Game Stuff

I’ve always been a proud nerd, and a few years ago I got back into tabletop gaming, partly to help my kids dive into Dungeons & Dragons, and partly because I never really stopped loving it. I wanted a way to play that was more flexible than traditional miniatures, so I started experimenting with ceramic tokens and accessories, blending utility with craft.

What began as a personal project quickly became a deep creative outlet. I taught myself Fusion360, wrangled a used 3D printer, and teamed up with my wife @dimpsystudio to turn sketches into real, tactile game pieces. As the idea evolved, so did the product line, expanding into terrain, dice, and other modular elements.

To bring it all together, I created the brand Kiln Born, a name and identity that balances handmade charm with a little arcane flair. It’s a work in progress, but also a playground for illustration, design, experimentation, and constant learning.
