 Welcome to Waltrendal's weird wild wacky wonderful way out world of wizardry.  Wally is a wizard who has been around the block a few times (and by that I mean the world and centuries). He bought a never fully developed suburb on the outskirts of the city and turned it into a magical emporium. He painstakingly recruited/collected/nurtured some of the most talented individuals to help him in this endeavor.  Now looking to expand he has invited his old friend and architectural wizard, Randold Schoold'em to explore the potential. Randy having helped with the original magical hedge design was eager to see what Wally had done with the place.  Grenlad and Keishar are the beast masters, although they don't prefer that term. They tend to think of themselves as communicators. Hailing from deep forests far away they are adept at "speaking" with all manner of creatures (usually through gestures, physical expressions, and simple feeling).  Hedera Vinea a horticultural and chemical mystic, specializes in potions, salves, tinctures, elixirs, and tonics.  Anvil Hammerfist, so named by his parents in hopes of him being a great dwarven smith. His interests lie much more heavily in tinkering and design. He works closely with his best friend Thorack (whose name means the hammer in his native tongue). Thorack was orphaned at birth and raised by a monastic order until his early teens. He then joined an elite mercenary group, excelling in his combat skills due to his training as a monk, only to be kicked out due to a fellow cadet jealous of his calm and poise in battle. He now, working with Anvil and Wally, makes magical weapons, and items.  Hank (as he is known) is a half orc. he spent most of his life as a slave. His master didn't know how to pronounce his given name and so renamed him Henry. As a slave Hank learned to do three things very well, fight, work wood, and cook. When Wally encountered him he saw his potential bought him and immediately granted him freedom. Hank took the day off from lumber production to prepare a special feast in honor of Randold's arrival.  Simply known as "the tree" (since its name doesn't exist as such), this being was saved by Wally from an overly ambitious logging outfit. It doesn't move much, but when it does , it is quite something to witness.        My whole goal with this project was to pay tribute to all of the amazing artists/designers who make this stuff, so I tried to include as many as I could fit on the board. There are so many more I would have liked to include, but the board is only 30x40 inches. There may be a couple of pieces that either I missed or don't know where they come from, but this should be a pretty good list. eddnic DGM FDG WWG lightning soaringraven Dryw the Harper Zsezse monktaraz Jim Bowen Jim Hartman kris grendelsmother64 Punkrabbitt Christopher Roe bravesirkevin jjensen Penguin Labs spaceranger42 oldschooldm 's daughter mproteau (Paper Realms)and some stuff from the forum hoards. |

Thanks Vermin King I would have loved to cram you in there somewhere as well (being such a foundation for this community) but space and time always seem to impose their limitations. |

Thanks Vermin King I would have loved to cram you in there somewhere as well (being such a foundation for this community) but space and time always seem to impose their limitations. <= Highly flattered And this piece really got my mind going on a project that I do not have time for -- a medieval magic circus. Can't you just picture the Monster Manual monsters in the cage wagons? And Hippogriff's pulling them? And I really need to get back to Hagrid's Hut, making it octagonal with an interior. But this submission does exactly what I personally feel is the importance of Papercuts -- showing off the creativity of the builders and designers, and inspiring more creativity. Wally's World definitely hits each of those |

This is just SPECTACULAR!! So many tiny details and models I have never seen in my searching. I would love to have more details on who created which piece. (I'm sure all you folks that have been doing this for years know most of it!)

Let me know, and I will do my best to accommodate. I think I can identify almost everything you used, but one thing stumps me: the potted plant/tree-in-a-cauldron-thingy with green skull fruit in Hedera Vinea's backgarden - where is that from? |

I'm pretty sure it is from eddnic. I want to say it was on a page with some other stuff like the lever with a skull handle that I modded a while back, but I'm not positive. I just recently regained access to my hard drive,so I'll have to see if I can find it. |

Thanks a lot! It's quite amazing what treasures are slumbering in the depths of the forum. We should really work together someday and compile some files of these gems that would otherwise go unnoticed.

Parduz and others attempted this for the Hoards many years ago. |

Parduz and others attempted this for the Hoards many years ago. WOW! I did'nt remember that!  I have less time and less memory (so, i'll need to be reminded, awaked, etc), but i'm still available |

Well, years ago i asked if there was a way to build a database of what we have here, to "tag" and categorize what is in what file, so you're not totally wrong. My offer is still valid: if someone is able to provide me an online, accessible "database engine" (a site, a service, whatever), i'm willing to set up the whole thing and do some, if not all, the actual data entry, then pass the ball to someone else more constant in keeping it updated. |

I'm not even sure what type of database would be best for that

I'm not even sure what type of database would be best for that Dunno. I worked for years with Access, and recently touched something with SQLite without particular efforts. But i know nothing from the other side of the Web (i mean, i know nothing about sites and online services etc etc) so i can't say anything really |
