Your initial project was amazing because it was done with tools anyone could have, craft knives and such, foam. I ask in future projects you do Both with your best tools, and with your older tools, like sponges and craft knives instead of hot cutters. making your project approachable is part of what makes it special, but also its hard to see how much is experience & skill and how much the improvement is skill. also it might be cool to have a stopwatch, and time yourself, so people can have a clue about how much time they will need if they want to approach this too. I made foam dungeon tiles myself, as well as 3d Printed, and cardboard and the crafted tiles are much quicker than the 3d printer... and maybe many people would be more interested when they realise a project like this can be done in under an hour for maybe 18 tiles.

[@BlackMagicCraftOfficial]

@@G0ldmoon I already made them with basic tools....

[@G0ldmoon]

@@BlackMagicCraftOfficial I mean after all these years, or would you say, as hinted at in the video. Its not broke, so nothing to fix, and you wouldn't change a thing?

[@joshwadsworth7058]

A revisit to pillars/obelisks would be a great return to the origins!

[@pez5767]

I actually really like seeing you revist a project. Too often, the information regarding craft on KZbin either focuses on total newbs or hobby-professionals without accounting for the most important parts of the hobby, which are growth and enjoyment (imo). Your last few videos have really focused on the growth aspect of the hobby, which is a joy to see. How about revisiting more hobby staples like trees or fallen log debris (scatter). The little armor stack in this video you had at the end was rad!

[@DanaHowl]

LMAO I can't believe we both published our "back to basics dungeon tiles" video within 24 hours of each other, must be something in the air up here in Canada! For real though, love your results! Embedding those extra bits plus the way you painted them really looks sharp!

[@hobbytyrant]

As a viewer of both channels I was actually wondering if it was a conspiracy or some Canadian holiday or something. "Dungeon Tile day".

[@jwraper1498]

What channel? Gotta promote yourself so people like me can find you! 😊

[@dustiiyork3907]

@@hobbytyrant same I thought it was a tie in Collab, but just a happy coincidence 😂

[@heehoopeanut420]

Yes!!! I had to give the thumbnail a double take, I was like "I just watched Dana's video last night, how did she.... OHHHH"😂

[@VAB0L0]

Legit surprised there wasn't a reference to your video, I thought this was a planned thing coming into this!

[@brendanarmstrong7802]

8:00 - I highly recommend all of the liquitex improperly-cooked brown inks for stone builds. Raw Umber, Raw Sienna, and Burnt Sienna are fantastic in tandem for adding variety to stonework.

[@Xenwing]

Wow. I remember that video, you have came a lot way since then. Thank for that video and every one you had after that. I don't craft, play any D&D or anything like that. I just love watching you build stuff from nothing and it's amazing. Thanks again for the 3x3 videos you did for everyone.

[@gutterspeak]

Yeah, but those videos are on his Onlyfans xD

[@dawnjackson5773]

I just rearranged my craft/game and was looking at all the tiles I have made and stuff... And I was like Damm these look so good still...

[@gregmccormack5709]

Love the revisit! I for one would love to see you do another kind of cool doorway/archway. Every time you make one it's amazing. I feel like you can never have too much variety, your metal door from way back was sooo good.

[@sergiomasciocchi1284]

I saw your original video and decided to crete some for my homebrew. I was super nervous because it was the first time the game was going to be played but to have the tiles to convey the atmosphere of the game helped me a lot that night. Excellent content, compadre!

[@fightingcorsair7297]

Those look fantastic. I love the idea of embedding little bits of scatter into the tiles themselves.

[@geektome4781]

I attach self-adhesive vinyl floor tile (sticky-side up) cut to size on the bottom of my tiles. It gives them heft and the vinyl, designed to prevent slips, prevents the tiles from sliding around my tabletop.

[@xzakt7775]

I dont even play table top games, and you got me into crafting stuff for them. Love the content.

[@MedievalMary]

This was actually a really cool upgrade. I am all for a revist series. My favorite builds have been the tiles, viking boat and hags hut.

[@grimmtales503]

I wish you would give us a list of your Top Ten Favourite Old Projects ( '& Why You Want To Revisit... Maybe?' ). You could even do that as a throwaway video. Take clips of you and edit them in and add yourself doing clips in the midst between each - explain each of the ten projects briefly, brief chunk of Old Vid, brief sum-up what you might revisit. Boom. Video, mostly for your fan base. Loved this vid, couldn't stop watching. Yes, the new tiles have the essence but are FAR better. That's fantastic. Learned lots, it was fun. Keep up this great work.

[@NorthToSouthChannel]

These exact tiles are what got me inspired to create my D&D terrain pieces!!! I ended up giving them away to a friend who is much more invested in his campaign, but that also gives me the excuse to make them again... and just in time for the new tutorial!

[@nordicson2835]

Mine are still 100% after 2 years. Thank you . It was the first craft that my daughter and l made as a family crafting project.

[@user-ht5ce2it3z]

This was the first thing I made except I did double sided with wood planks on the other side. Thanks to you I enjoyed 2020 way more than I should have by foam crafting.

[@TheVikingDaddy]

I haven't watched this video but I immediately love it, it was this project that got me into the hobby.

[@danmclean7375]

Dollarama, coffee can full of stones, a rock, and hotglue - ❤timeless. 😄👍Loved the idea of mashing bits into the foam - very clever.

[@PatGilliland]

Scratchbuilders Mecca

[@kgchrome]

if you have existing tiles that you want to weight down, self adhesive, flat floor tiling cut to match your tile size (or slightly undersized) stuck to the bottom works great. makes the tile a little taller, though. if your tiles are double sided, cut them in half and stick tile to each.

[@matsolsen3901]

Relicblade Catacombs of Kural JUST shipped. This video is great for showing how to make the required home made dungeon tiles 🤩

[@Onkelcuno]

Thanks for the vid! ran my first d&d session with magnetic dungeon tiles inspired by you and other folks literally yesterday. I HEAVILY used several balls of tinfoil to texture MUCH more than any youtuber i've seen, mostly because i didn't know what i was doing. like really made sure there wasnt a smooth surface at all, just dents. then i coated them black, followed by dark grey. then i drybrushed heavily in a slightly lighter grey, followed by a super light drybrush of almost white grey on just some spots of each tile, mostly in lines creating light lines. all drybrushing was done one-directional. the result? it looks like marble. i've seen a bunch of "painting marble" tutorials but believe me, my tiles look more like marble than any of those. my group was ecstatic when they saw!

[@denisemayer9698]

Made the original tiles for my oldest grandson... had a ball. Then saw your Underdark terrain, so made some for one of my grand-daughters. You are a total inspiration. Love your videos. Keeps my mind active and my hands and imagination on the go. Thank you.

[@TheCobraReport]

great video, love seeing things that were done by makers years ago and how they would do them now with all the new knowledge they have gained.

[@stianthijsen4784]

this almost exactly the way that I did my 1st dungeon-tile-set. MDF-Plates are awesome and with some foam on top this feels realy good. On the Backside I would suggest making some wooden boards look... maybe with a small driller into the MDF-Plate

[@SkywalkerOne1977]

This was super fun to see! Never thought to put random bits in the tiles. I love that!

Like the simple and concise description and explanation. Just subscribed.

Always enjoy your videos! Please do some small buildings again, would love to see the abandoned barn revisited, it was my favourite video of a building from your catalogue!

[@calebredfield]

Around 4:05, it might help to put a quick mark on the bottom side of the foam (that glues to the mdf) so you don't accidentally put the tough side down.

[@christophermitchell8351]

I've recently discovered magnet tape which has been a game changer for me. It comes in a roll like scotch tape. I slap it onto the bottom of everything I make now and I can use it on a whiteboard. It's great!

[@alinds1]

It's been several years, but your original dungeon tiles videos were what got me into terrain building. PERIOD. Thanks for that, and for the fun revisit!

[@charlesvanneste2834]

I got hooked when you did the boat build. Would be fun seeing that in your new skill set. Awesome tiles!

[@artistpoet5253]

It's so much fun revisiting older projects, especially the ones that set the tone and definition of the studio.

[@Saber9933]

I haven't done work with foam in a few years since getting a 3d printer but this vid has me thinking it's time to go back to basics again!

[@Gravehaven007]

Amazing man! Been watching since then AND the “Viking” longboat build. Keep it up my Canadian brother!! 💪💪

[@perrygrosshans8537]

Awesome stuff! I was very curious as to how "different" you were going to go, and you did not disappoint. Definitely the "advanced" version of the basic foam dungeon tiles. They looked great. I loved that you used all of the "upgraded" tools in your arsenal (mdf, air brush, oil wash). Definitely not everyone will be able to mimic these like the OG foam tiles, but that wasn't the point of this video. Super fun. Also, I recognize those coffins, lol! (they are excellent).

[@BlackMagicCraftOfficial]

If nothing else this shows how similar a build can be using basic tools and techniques vs more advanced ones. Ones better for sure, but not THAT much better.

[@sklinger]

From the very beginning I based all my pieces on a 1-1/4" grid. Visually I liked the extra space. But the main reason was that it was a true architectural scale. Both for drawing and modeling. Also it's equates a model railroad "O scale". So there was another resource to purchase items MADE for that scale.

[@jonashenriksson2182]

Nice! Building a modular dungeon is on my list of fun projects to do with my kids, and this seems like a great way to crank out a large nice dungeon fast. Idea for a v3: Spraying the tiles before gluing them would make it easy to introduce some additional colour variations, mixing in a few green tiles among the brown ones. Same effect you of course be achieved my washing some tiles in a different colour.

[@xavierengels2420]

Love the idea of revisiting an old project with new skills and tools!

[@sebastianlindberg2976]

A boat or a lava tile remake? I love these videos because it's helping me learn from the masters of the craft!

Awesome stuff! Loved it the first time and love it this time around!

[@DnDOldGuard]

And now I need to update my tiles. A sincere and real THANK YOU for making this hobby so much better! Much love!

[@kgoblin5084]

So, my variant of dungeon tiles was layered cardboard + mod-podge primer. Ends up being super-durable, & obviously doesn't have the material availability headaches you can get with XPS... but the big drawback is the tiles are very, very flat so forget trying to stack them to emulate stairs/platforms/etc. Bonus benefit though is the cardboard technique is super useful for creating custom terrain & mini bases... & I was also able to repurpose it to make coasters for my mom 1 Christmas :).

[@JourneymanCoup]

This is cool shit. Definitely make more video's for DIY landscapes. 🤘

[@sheppieboi]

It's so cool that you always made awesome things, but as the years went by you made them extra awesome. I just love this channel, and the hard work you put into it. I would personally like to see ANYTHING revisited because it will end up being gold anyway :D

[@jacobmcdonald8750]

Those are great. I liked the color before the wash but they still look great! Thanx

"The little differences!" :D Those pushed in bits look great by the way!

[@wyrmbane6771]

Another genius video. Awesome work! Again.

[@xavierdoesntmatter]

I like the idea of the larger tiles. It allows you to place walls on the edges if you really wanted to, they would just need to be thin.

[@centerededgedesignusa7957]

Inspiring, I am jealous of what Dollar-rama offers for crafty goodness MDF stuffs!

[@Nosferatuklown]

Awesome to see you going back to the old school videos, two videos I fondly remember (and still want to attempt myself) was your skull and blood fountain alter, and your diy gaming table if you ever feel like making a new table one day :)

[@hmgirlpopuri5819]

Really cool to see you come back and revisit some of your earlier foundational stuff. These came out great! With the whole magnet things, you should hit up Table & Craft's 'magboard' for an interesting take on it. He's got like a piece of foamcore he sets his tiles on with a magnets laid out in a grid so that pieces can just be clipped on top, and blank 'spacer tiles' with a magnet and a screw he can use to add elevation. You two both do very cool stuff and it'd be wild to see what some kind of collab/crossover of ideas might produce!

[@combatsurvivalofalabama1835]

Such an iconic craft that started it for many of us. Thank you for all you have given this hobby. Cant wait to try making the new tiles!

[@nmills87]

I loved seeing you revisit a project! Always great to see growth as a hobbyist. Great job

[@SammyBubbles]

I love how they turned out, and I love it when hobby channels return to old concepts and revisit them either with a new angle or with newfound perspective. It's a great way to show people what could be improved upon with the initial concept, or what new techniques/approaches to crafting you have learned since then. I hope you do more of these!

[@EddyPassmore]

Oddly enough I was looking at your old tile video literally yesterday for a project I'm planning. Great to see how far you've come, but also how accessible and informative your old stuff still is. I've learned so much from you over the years. I'll be using this new tile technique to make a cathedral carry case for my Sisters of Battle, you've already inspired my build!

[@PossumMedic]

OHHH SNAP! The OG vid is how I first found this channel! 🥰

[@Philippegach]

Your first tiles were the thing that sent me into the rabbit hole of crafting my own pieces. Awesome as always !

I loved it. Honestly, I find that, lately, the content does not fit the reason why I suscribed (a long time ago) to this channel, but seeing videos like this is awesome.

[@randalljecksii7757]

This looks stunning and will be helpful getting stuff for my Gaming club.

[@LordWiseWolf]

This is really cool and helpful. I've been having an issue with minis and tiles because I recently got into resin 3D printing minis. With different scales and models, and sculpts, sometimes an inch square is perfect. Sometimes it's not. Gonna try this 28mm

[@deva3250]

Always loved these tiles. Build some similar to yours, but since we use Markers to show AOE Spells and effects in General I Switched to printed and laminated floor patterns glued on wooden plates.

[@AJsWargaming]

Sheet magnet on the bottom. I recycle 'refrigerator' magnets. Once my co-workers learned I recycled them, they started bringing me tons of them. Free magnet sheet! Garages and Sports teams often do annual calendars which are large enough to do a whole tile.

[@GoobertownHobbies]

Past Jeremy got wrekt! This was a sweet upgrade, definitely revisit some other classics :-)

[@wtfdidilearn6610]

I love the look! Maybe something to consider on the bottom is an interlocking system, similar to Wyloch

[@kani75]

Maybe make floor tiles for outdoor with some trenches or puddles to jump over, the fireplace and some with thicker foliage or rocks for difficult terrain.

[@speedhump231]

I make mdf hills for historical and fantasy games. The hills all get felt on the bottom. They slip less and look good. I think the felt would be good on your tiles.

[@alcolyte666]

Still have my original tiles i made from your first vid!!! they are great!!! I inlayed some nickles into the bottom of them to tackle the weight problem.

[@sworddemonboggle1491]

Well rewatching this video finally cinched it for me and I bought your list of essential tools after deliberating how many and what exactly I needed. Now I just need to get the area set up I’m going to be crafting in and get the foam material and then I’m going to use your old dungeon tile video as my first project. I’m really hoping to get into the hobby to the point I can sell the pieces at my local game shop but I’d be happy just to make something I’m proud to show off at my D&D sessions

[@paultaylor107]

So my 7 year old twins are wanting to get into war hammer and also D&D. Idont think they know what they want to do so I'm letting them have a taste of both. This was a brilliant video for one of them who loves making stuff and painting . This feels very achievable. Thank you..

I feel so old watching this! we use to use - way back in the good old days - pieces of "cardboard" for our playing area. Basically it was the board you find in the cover of a 3 ring binder (my dad worked for a book bindery at the time). We had various pieces cut and marked out and each square was equivalent to 1'x1'. Our models were all the cast metal. All were hand painted (and it was very obvious they had been). oh the good old days.... What you do is - ummmm - amazing! incredible! fantastic! Everytime I watch one of your videos, I'm tempted to break out the old Monster Manual and DM guide!

Really liked this video. Its so good to see how far you've gone. Just the way you can talk about your work and about the details of the process shows that you've come a long way.

[@josephskiles]

I watched a really awesome video on another channel recently where a guy was using children's magnetic tiles for terrain after doing some quick painting with a rattle can and gluing bits of sprue on them. I had to check ebay on the prices and it was pretty common to find 300 piece sets for like $40 or $50 if not better deals on buying lots of used ones. I had no idea these were even a thing since I don't have kids, but for very very minor work a person can get enough terrain pieces to make a battle board and plenty of pieces to make structures or even hallways if you want to go by the latest boarding scenarios that GW is doing now, and since it's already magnetic storage, set-up, and traveling with them seem like it couldn't get any easier for the fraction of the price of normal terrain or the time put into building a bunch of dungeon tiles.

[@ashleydawn2600]

I always enjoy seeing your tips and tricks. I think revisiting projects helps. Thank you for being you.

[@TheLaensman]

Really enjoyed watching this version of the tiles getting made. It’s like the delux 2.0, without being overly complicated. Would love to see some projects continuing to build upon these, like dungeon scatter terrain, doorways, stairs, special “objective marker” tiles etc
