There aren't really any interesting options yet, but Amazon just opened a 3D printing store. 3D printing is going to be the next big thing that shakes up the world, and I think there's a chance that might include fantasy writing.
Here's an example of what I'm talking about:
Design Your Own Lego Swords
In the next ten years or less, it'll be not just possible but affordable to include a 3D model of your characters and make them available for fans to print, maybe with rules for using them in a d20 system. We know that there's a tremendous potential for overlap and merchandising between novels, games, miniatures, and so on. And 3D printing is on its way to making some of that affordable to the average writer.
Do you think it'll make much of an impact?
