Origami D&D miniatures

Here's a fantastic gallery of Dungeons and Dragons miniatures folded origami-style to match the Monster Manual and its successors (shown here, the Mind Flayer!). The creator is Joseph Wu, who clearly knows when to fold 'em. Link (Thanks, Andrew!)

I write books. My latest is a YA science fiction novel called Homeland (it's the sequel to Little Brother). More books: Rapture of the Nerds (a novel, with Charlie Stross); With a Little Help (short stories); and The Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow (novella and nonfic). I speak all over the place and I tweet and tumble, too.

These would be fun to use in running an actual game. I’m playing one for Free RPG Day tomorrow but I don’t think I’d have time to get them folded (correctly anyway).

Those are fantastic! Great job to the creator.

Wow. I really am not very good at paper crafts, but this is really cool. It’d be awsome to use these in the 3.5ed campaign I’m running. (Right now I’m just using lego(tm) minifigs.

Too bad the instructions are not available; I have long been interested in both origami and D&D, and would seriously fold these if I knew how.

My gripe about instructions notwithstanding, these are amazing pieces of art. Joseph Wu even has the proper number of eye-stalks on his Beholder (10, but you all knew that)! That’s some serious artistry; I’ve seen illustrations which can’t be arsed to get the number correct, and this guy pulled it off with paper. It’s sort of like putting all 50 stars on the US flag: when someone goes to the effort of being precise, especially in a difficult medium, it makes me feel warm inside.

My gelatinous cube didn’t come out so good.
