"Good artists borrow. Great artists steal.' Great advice for terrain building and storytelling. If your players aren't familiar with certain movies, shows, comics, or novels, they're a great place to just lift plots from. If they've not played a certain adventure, yoink parts of it and use it for yourself. As a corollary to this for players: "If you see something, no you didn't." Don't say anything about it if you saw the DM make a lift from elsewhere. If you know the plot, no you don't. The DM liked a thing, and he's wanting to share it with you, so play it straight and say nothing. After the campaign is done, then you could mention it, if you remember. But not immediately after, and definitely not during.

you can also create different kind of crop by color the field with diluhited acrilic

This turned out awesome ! I'm gonna make my own in the coming days with more of a snowy vibe ! PS: I had a hard time to find this video because it was not with the rest of the playlist for making a 3D map

Wonderful video!

This video was great, informative and in depth while not being too long. My father (avid D&D crafter) passed last year and I inherited a workshop full of foam. This video was the one that gave me the confidence to start working on foam pieces for my own D&D campaign, thank you.

you could have kept one of those holes and made it a round window

"Less math and more fun" well that's just a false statement. Math is fun

been looking for smth like this for my delvers guide to beast world campaign, thank you~!

3:37 Swinging a short sword is generally regarded as a weak move, because short swords are designed to be stabbing weapons. Maybe a 1st level fighter would make this mistake 🤔

Too bad I'm allergic to xps foam.

One brick at the time.

hay, how well do the tiles fit in your kallax shelfs? i have the tiles and im thinking of buying a kallax to store them all but whould like to know how ell they fit.

Hope all is well, missing those weekly Thursday uploads. Hope it is just being to busy with the day job!

These ship tiles look great. However, I think it would be a pretty tough first time project, mostly because of the curved sides/edges. I've been crafting for years and still find boat shaped quite tricky without a template.

2:50 i see rooke mistake; dont clip them all at one; there are number for a reson for easer asmebly

What do you do with your builds like this when you are done? Alot of the individual pieces can be reused again... but how do you go about storing or reuising cragmaw castle?

Played some ShadowDark and wore my Storycraft Society hoody. I hope you're doing okay. Would be great to hear an update or something.

Have you tried the Ammo Mig turned earth ground product? If so would really be interested to hear thoughts on which is better to work with for building out custom bases.

I'm going to run my first long adventure...and I have pages upon pages of prep work!!!! My nerves are shot between that and building all I need from terrain, vegetation to buildings etc. Why does it seem that no matter how much stuff/buildings/walls and all that I have, I never have enough of what I need for this???? LOL!

You all right little brother missing some of your weekly content and I am concerned your ok.

These look like great adventures! Thanks for sharing!

I usually don't use building interiors as I find it way more difficult to craft just for using it once in a while. I love how you created this interiors, so it will be way easier to play with.

I love the excitement and enthusiasm you have for your game and your players! Thank you for sharing that excitement and your process, it's super inspiring.

I have thought about doing this project but was always a bit scared it would not hold once cut thank you for doing this

I use carry out foam food containers for thin foam. Works great. Especially if you can find black ones. Nice work man

Friend of mine made these, and they give sooooo much flavor and vibe. i love them. He sticked some things inside and put some things next to them and boom, welcome to the Farmlands

This too funny. "You get to roll you damage die again and that's going to continue stacking... you get to keep rolling... 30 points of damage or something crazy" followed by "gets you make attacks quickly and doesn't require a bunch of rolling". Stopped watching after this blatant contradiciton.

Is there a video about that church somewhere?

Super awesome, i think the mines were most awesome. Question: can you Do a futuristic Design?

Important to have guitar riffs when describing mud XD

The real measure of these products is how they look in a year's time. I did a whole set of rivers using Vallejo's product and after a while they began to peel up on the sides leaving an ugly white rim that I had to just paint over. I'd be doubting Woodland Scenic's is any better. Any old hands have advice?

Nimble's got some good videos on this. I'm really looking forward to seeing the whole thing. I love what I've seen so far, but there's a lot more to come apparently. And yes, modularity *is* a word. It's the reason the old adventures were called modules; they were interchangeable and could fit into any campaign or setting. Matt Colville had a recent video about it in fact.

Just subscribed. This was sooo good.

Awesome job and I love your work but I gotta ask, why not separate the walls from the floor tiles and then just use magnets?

All 3 had really good aspects. But my favorite was the bandit camp. It has a really complex terrain that's totally accessable.

💙

Clearly, you do not value peoples' time.

I’m starting my first long term campaign in a couple months, and you’re speaking to my overprepping soul right now 😂 Love hearing about your campaign prep/ worldbuilding!

This is EXACTLY what I have been looking for ever since I dropped my players onto a pirate ship(thru an altered teleport) in the middle of battling The Imperium! Thank you!

I decided to try this method but didn't have any paper plates on hand. However I did have styrofoam plates, so I tried that, works great!

4:45 i’m never going to shake a can of spray paint or spray foam the same ever again!!!

I just discovered your channel and I love it, I'm devouring your videos! Keep it up!

I personally think that the 'Russian Thick Mud' is the best out of them all, due to the fact you can add basing material to it to make it as packed as you want. The others seem to be already packed with a bit too much basing material which doesn't give you much room to work with.

Well. Russian one looks like it should. It's a black soil that really common in that places. if you start highlighting it, it will look unnatural. Unless you want to make it look like a bird crap 😂

My big thing is destructible terrain. The two best ones I had was when the players crashed their boat into a floatilla turning a ranged fight into a sinking melee and the time the fire troll smashed through the arena's walls destroying the cover for the rogue.

I'm currently making an onslaught board with similar styling. I don't glue in any modules, as you can make different inserts. Change the insert, and it becomes a door/sewer for level transitions.

I have seen a roof that looked almost exactly like that square shingled building. It was a mass produced tin roof from, I think, the 1910s or 1920s. Each line of 'shingles' was a five or six foot strip.

I've seen some DM's -- Aabria, for example -- do little cutscenes to give the pc's meta-insight into bts goings on, but I like the idea of doing it in story form. As a player, I tried writing our in-game stories a couple of times just to have a record. The first time, the game didn't last more than a few sessions. The second time, I started kinda late, and I didn't really take deep notes. As time went on, details got sketchier, and then the game ended before I had caught up so I just quit. But it was fun, and the others loved it. I even wrote songs that were more flavor than relevant to go along. Didn't perform them, just put them in between chapters. I encourage anyone, DM or player, to try it. You may not be Tolkien or Martin -- and by that I mean you *are* *not* them -- but it can still be entertaining. And adventurers deserve to have their exploits chronicled.

That’s a great idea, especially for bbg encounters

Theres No Curbs in Fantasy Land Yo! IF it were some modern Day Format Sure, But No curbs in Mondheim or D&D. Come On Man.
