Tomb of the Ancients - Building a Dungeon Entrance for D&D (Puzzle)

[@BardsCraft]

Some of my builds are for sale! In this way I can fund greater terrain builds while also fixing storage issues: bardscraft.wixsite.com/craft/inventory-2

Lukas is now officially a mix of Jesus and Geralt of Rivia.

[@matthewrayner571]

Your work inspired me to start crafting - just want to say thanks and keep up the good work!

[@spenservanburen8346]

"the key to entering the tomb of the ancients is hidden in plain sight, and probably solvable- for a toddler" me, not understanding how the puzzle is solved: 😐

[@dubbingsync]

I’m guessing you have to stand on the corresponding symbols, he did say they will already have had the clues to solve it.

[@jamessteckel5379]

This video has it all. globby PVA gloo, kitchen knife, scratchy dry brush, and a walk in the park. 10/10

[@graceharney7352]

no oats (still 10/10)

[@dermabsel7545]

I am so glad, that I found you... you're funny and very talented! Nice job with this tomb... 😃😃👍

[@danielsayer1897]

Tip: you can grind up some brown Pastels for some peasant level weathering pigments

[@BardsCraft]

I'll try that if I find some at home. I also considered finding rust to use for the same purpose :D

[@ChrisAndCats]

@@BardsCraft I have only just found your channel but I have to say your scenes are so amazingly realistic and I love them! I've not long started making miniatures but for dolls houses (scale model type houses, not toys) and I found a great way of doing reasonably realistic shrubs recently that might be useful for a scene. I found some little pine cone type things while I was outside - they were more like seed pod type cones, probably an inch or two tall, (according to Google, they're Alder cones). Anyway I coated them in pva glue, added flower soft, made a miniature pot from polymer clay & created miniature flowering topiary/shrubs for my house doorstep, but if you used less bright materials to coat them, they might be good shrubbery for a scene. I've also accumulated a good quantity of alcohol inks from my papercraft hobby, and I found those good for colouring non porous surfaces.

[@MrPablucas]

For the oat we rise! FOR THE OAT WE DIE!!!

[@crantelor7682]

Praise the ÖUTS

[@RoseBee]

It just keeps surprising me that you get this level of detail with such basic materials. You could even cut a circular hole in the floor of the structure and put in one of those multicolour led tealights for added mystery effect!

[@Traceurl]

I was thinking how cool it would be for the tiles to be removable and given to players to examine. Perhaps that would be another build. I've found my players really enjoy interacting with puzzle elements. So cool, hope you are well! I'll be contributing to your patreon after payday!

[@Markovian_]

Imagine if you had proper tools. Great video as always.

[@erc1971erc1971]

Whenever I watch his videos I am amazed at how he works with the wrong tools and just tosses things together haphazardly, not really fitting them, etc. etc. It looks like trash until 90% of the way through the build then...GOTCHA!!!...it looks amazing.

[@Markovian_]

erc1971erc1971 yeah! Right!! He doesn't need proper tools and I understand that's the draw of his process. But I like to imagine epic level terrain.

[@CrankyPantss]

erc1971erc1971 How are they “wrong tools”? He gets the job done, nicely, every time. Are you under the impression that you have to use the expensive, trendy tools that the bigger channels use or they're wrong? He shows that you don’t need fancy, expensive foam cutters and air brushes to make fun terrain.

[@erc1971erc1971]

@@CrankyPantss Take that huge knife for instance. He does way more with it than I ever would have imagined. For instance, I am mystified at how he cuts large sheets for foam and keeps the thickness uniform. If it were me, it would either be hotwire cutter or lots and lots of measuring ,etc.

[@Markovian_]

CrankyPants maybe stop taking specific words someone uses out of context. They are obviously giving him a compliment. Settle down we are all fans here. When someone comedically uses a kitchen knife for terrain building it's impressive and funny.

[@DarthP00P00]

Oh man it would be cool to wire the stones to glow when a model is standing on them. Would be a fun feature.

[@michaellavy3269]

I really appreciate how budget friendly and low complexity your builds are. Your builds have inspired me to start crafting too, and I’m really loving it

[@tomusannonymous]

For pigments I buy a very cheap pack of soft pastels (not oil pastels) and grind them up in my mortar and pestel. If you can find a pack with only autumn colours that would be best since most of the bright colours won't be useful. Still you can get like 5 useful browns, gray and black pigments for less the the price of one weathering pigment pot. Make sure to wear a mask when grinding them so you dont inhale the dust. The cheap brand i found is called semco.

[@juliehamel8330]

So my boy saw your video and wanted to copy the build. I realized that's what it was when he started insisting on the door, saying it needed to be cracked and ever so slightly angled. Also I'm inferior because I don't use a kitchen knife according to him. He is a big fan of you and your builds.

[@eBiCrafter]

i am glad you back, long time no see new video from you, btw thanks

[@Blandco]

I am a bit disappointed to know the meaning behind the names on the blade.

[@magnussohlberg4939]

Considering my name is one of those listed, I'm very glad to hear he hasn't changed his mind about them!

[@audreyl7124]

You are finally using an exacto knife!!!!!😂😀

[@epictaco6659]

This gave me so many cool ideas hopefully I get around to trying them lol

[@JCetto.2612]

OMG! I thought there would be no knife as soon I saw the saw... Saw the saw... Wait what?

[@phoenixbowers5790]

Awesome work, I love seeing your videos pop up

[@Toastishott]

How do you solve the puzzle

[@krash_override]

The flocking and cultist bits really took this build to the next level. Fun build!

[@krause6echo]

The Hound, “Joffrey, Cersei, Walder Frey, Meryn Trant, Tywin Lannister, The Red Woman, Beric Dondarion, Thoros Of Myr, Illyan Paine, The Mountain”

[@87Ferrets]

He cooks his sand before eating it? Are you supposed to do that???

[@kingcraft4167]

Yeah it really brings out that earthy flavor!😂

[@derek9820]

As a carpenter I found myself cringing a bit as you cut the board with a hand saw and kitchen knife 🤣 it works though. Excellent build and I've subscribed.

[@Mailed-Knight]

Pardon me but if a tree grew out from the roof, wouldn't that mean that the players could just enter through the roof instead of the wall? Great video btw.

[@BardsCraft]

It is meant to be growing on the roof, but perhaps it's a hidden way to get inside if the tree was to grow through the roof instead ;)

[@whowantsabighug]

I dont do in-person tabletop, even before lockdown tbh, but your videos still inspired me to go and draw some custom backgrounds for my roll20 games.

[@ПавелТеттеЛайнен]

Не знаю, сможешь ли ты перевести на свой родной язык мое послание Лукас, но мне очень нравится то, что ты делаешь. Многое я взял для себя, многое улучшил. Спасибо тебе за твою работу!

[@drumrollplease4079]

Bard’s Craft, you are amazing. You inspire me to make my own terraria! Thank you. Btw nice vid. 10/10

[@Henrikdead]

So who carved the goose on Christmas Eve?

[@Wallach_a]

Love the build and always love the ending narration. Look like truffala trees in the fresh morning breeze. 👍🏻

[@graceharney7352]

love watching your work!! very inspiring to see that you don't use fancy tools or materials. what is the reason you picked that hard board as the base? is it just so that it wouldn't get warped?

[@emanuelcamuglia5984]

those big irrgular blocks remind me of anidnian architecture like machu pichu

[@franciscococio1319]

Man, your work is so inspiring. Loved it. Thanks for sharing this knowledge with all of us

[@7someone]

I guess it's good that you're not planning on killing you're patrons. You might get more that way.

[@lushika1219]

that's some fantastic thing i mean you created a PLACE vivid and real.

[@crantelor7682]

Hey have you ever thought about putting brown sugar in your ÖATS👏😦

[@khornehammer8642]

Hi from Italy, can you realize decoration tutorial for warhammer 40k? Where do you buy foam?

[@ysendoorn]

Today is perfect, the whole day I was looking for puzzles in my next session. I found a good one and made one myself, then Bard uploads this video. Coincidence, I think not!

[@ceasargaming9041]

WTF kinda cardboard do u have in europe? all the cardboard i get in the US sucks. i could never do anything like that.

[@RLBndR]

Nice Asian squat. Too many westerners can't keep thier feet flat on the ground and go ass to grass like that.

[@3DPlasticFantasy]

I love the experiments you do on each terrain and the style of your work. 14:36 That's me shaving my beard 😂

[@gustaafargoan]

Capstone at the entrance is upside down. Subscribed.

[@HerrFinsternis]

I love that door. The entire piece is sweet but the way that door comes bursting out really attracts the eye.

[@guilleeeavgs]

how much time do you leave dirt in the oven (sterilisation)? nice work and nice videos dude!!

[@goofballgaming274]

Why do u use a chef's knife and not just a box cutter or something?

[@thepancakeboi2241]

Spectacular build, always impressed by you.

[@okaybrandon8021]

Instructional and funny! Thanks, dude!

[@FoxAndHyde]

I love how you brought in some of the spare bits from your cultists minis to add that little extra flare to the terrain!

[@elizabethmcglothlin5406]

You must sharpen your knife about 12 times an hour!

[@pentraxlopez1833]

Sup, how is the name of the white thing that you cut ?

[@lightawsomeswag207]

half of this is like asmr lol, Love the Model!!!

[@atkmonkey]

You could say you have a cult following.

[@MattNeisinger]

A fair number of tabletop crafters have been utilizing MDF recently, but it didn't seem like a way I wanted to go, yet i still have been searching for a firm but thin basing option. Enter the Duke of crafting on the cheap, Bard's Craft, with hardboard. BRILLIANT! I don't know why I had not thought of hardboard or masonite myself. I'm not sure who's better at crafting on the cheap, you or DM Scotty, but he is our Craftfather, so he's probably the King.

[@BardsCraft]

Good luck with the hardboard bases then. Tip if you don't want to buy a large sheet from a hardware store you might find some on the back of junk furniture

[@p11_studios]

Can you do a tutorial on how you stay so jacked?

[@rebeccathistle5874]

I think he said that in the 50k subscribers special Q&A .. And it's totally out of the channel topic.. How could he will ever make a video about that? 🤣

[@p11_studios]

Rebecca Casse ‘Twas a joke, m’(insert however you identify here). I saw the 50k special. I was just feeling awkward about my arms when I clicked on that day

[@norcalonline1]

Right on, buddy. This crypt entrance looked like a lot of fun. I really do find your builds so inspirational. I just completed a Star Wars desert compound building and, in hindsight, I realize that I am a super slow crafter. It's really very freeing to see and watch you whack on that stuff so quickly. I need to take a cue from your style and just build without so much thought and introspection. Let the creative juices flow, as they say. Anyway, thanks again for such inspirational stuff. Keep the vids coming. Cheers, --Bo

[@ivayu2184]

I have a rather large GW Sylvaneth army so as suitable terrain, would it be possible for you to make a wall of thorns. You could probably use this as a spell token in d&d too

[@BardsCraft]

That's a good craft idea. I'll make it if I come up with some more spell effects for the next spell marker video.

[@hobbes4011]

I just found your channel and I'm completely blown away. What you're able to do with cardboard, glue, and basically no tools shouldn't be possible. Seriously inspiring stuff.

[@mai2015]

I have notifs on but didn't get the notification? Anyone else have this problem?

[@BardsCraft]

Just normal KZbin shenanigans. Could also be that my channel is mildly censured in some way.

[@subascosauce8288]

I don’t play tabletops but I love watching the terrains coming to life becoming magical little worlds. I especially enjoy your old world aesthetic, it’s a very unique look compared to other crafters and I love it.

[@Engineer.4200]

How long do you sanitize gravel and sand in the oven and what temperature do you set it to sorry I'ma noob to that stuff

[@BardsCraft]

20 min in 200 Celcius

uusi tilaaja! silti kuitenkin, tule takaisin sensei 😭

Best part on the vídeo 18:33

[@ronrader8714]

This is an awesome build! Very creative and excellent craftsmanship!

[@Stevie28]

You should make your own weathering pigments! Just get some Pastel chalk and grind it up! Really easy. Dont get the soft one tho!

[@TheRedBard]

Excellent as always, I've been using some homemade brown and sepia tone washes lately too. Mostly on smaller bits of wood for weathering. Also on pieces of metal like shields. Looking forward to more!

[@Jalin3516]

It's amazing watching how you improve each video and how far you've come from the peasant level builds of your first videos! Honestly, please do a direct comparison of the first terrain you built on the channel and the piece you built in this video. The level of improvement and technique is insane. Keep it up!

[@r.a.fgattaiguy845]

First of your videos I watched, I love how self aware you are while staying professional Also props on the creativity, I didn´t know it creating something like this was so cheap and easy

[@kaylaverkland858]

That shade of brown wash is absolutely exquisite against the stone color and the toilet paper technique really brought it to another level. Can’t wait to try this !

[@aaronleonard2823]

Thanks for the awesome videos! You really should look into being a model though.

[@alexanderk.7782]

Maybee you can us Oilpaint as well next time for a wash. Flow from alone^^

[@birgirstefansson5398]

Amazing build!!!

[@matthewgray8953]

I love the experiments you do, and this build looks great! But I miss the dill. I think the dill looks great.

[@ravensgategames1912]

Your builds are so much fun to watch!! Thank you! Thank you!! Thank you!!!

[@tyarkschettler853]

Nice to see you working with a new material and that you are enjoying it eventhough you "only" used it for the base.

[@gustaafargoan]

I love your work.

[@ArtJeremiah]

Fantastic build! Love how the hardboard base turned out. So much effort though huh?

[@kenlipson8686]

I know you've done more complicated builds, but this is one of my favorites

[@thecraftingbrothers9448]

I really enjoyed watching your painting methods on this piece, I can always use tips to improve my painting skills so thanks for that tutorial!

[@shaundaly1134]

Amazing skills.

[@rumo_der_wolpertinger7742]

Would you mind sharing how you ran that puzzle in Game?

[@DanieleMazzoni]

Gonna try and build something similar with my kid. thanks for the inspiration ;)

[@CrankyPantss]

That was another fun build, Mr. Bard, sir. Great job.

[@miladrahmanipour5890]

simply amazing

[@General_Pinkledink]

This video gave me anxiety, but I loved the outcome.

[@неболаја]

Awesome. I hope the next video is dungeon for dat same tomb xD

[@GakuseiChatto]

that's insane

[@CandycaneLane999]

Oh oh, if you get more patrons your gonna have to get a bigger knife!

[@richardokeeffe8375]

Epic build. Love the story elements at the end!

[@theobessiris9681]

How long do you leave the sand in the oven when sterilizing it?

[@thebardcave3388]

Awesome!

[@harrietcraig7817]

Beautiful day/ window/ view/ build.

[@Seoz]

also good wargaming terrain as top floor has cover walls :D

[@Stevie28]

I love how you make up a story for your terrain as you build it!

[@スマイルバロック]

Cool

[@seraph5140]

First yeah, I love your creations

[@BrushQuill]

Looks really nice and a piece of terrain to interact with for D&D
