Got some DUNGEON terrain? Make it epic with these secrets!

[@ConstructedChaos]

YEAHHHHH NEW ATMOSEEKER! Today is a great day!!

[@adamktp]

You legit are the most underrated dnd content creator. You deserve more subs then what you have. Please keep doing what you are doing!

[@Atmoseeker]

Thanks mate! I'm thankful for all the people subscribing and watching. Really enjoy making the content for you folks.

[@MrSpookyDave]

I found his channel and subbed when he had fewer than 1K subs, and it was already that good back then. Glad to see it's picking up some steam but I'd love to see the subs in seven digits!!

[@Atmoseeker]

@@MrSpookyDave thanks mate! Glad to have you along for the ride 🙌 If it got that big its an exciting thought to be making this full time

[@MegaGarfield89]

Your videos are incredible. I could watch a new video on this everyday. Thanks for the awesome tips.

[@Atmoseeker]

Thank you! If it gets some good momentum I'd love to put videos out more frequently. Thanks for watching!

[@joel6376]

This gives me an idea. I play OSR and light is an important factor there. Having an in game "torch" item the players place where their torch bearer is while having the roomer slightly darker might make this fun. Can "physically" see where the torch light runs out. Maybe, will have to play around with it.

[@TalismancerM]

Another brilliant video! Love that DM-controlled spot-light! For on-table lighting I use Wyloch's inspired LED standing torches - snip up those flickering LED tealight candles leaving just the encased battery, led & switch - stick a bit (2-3cm) of a black straw over the led pushing light upward - glue the plastic "wick" to the top - cover the whole thing with hot glue (except bottom) leaving a rocky texture - paint black - drybrush grey. Unobtrusive all-occasion lighting! I might have to get a smaller speaker like you've got for monster sounds & I'll have to check out Dscryb!

[@Atmoseeker]

Thanks very much! I'll have to check out that wyloch video. I'm not much for soldering, so I love simple LED's like that. Yeah those speakers were a steal from Kmart for $5. It doesn't even have to be great quality because it won't be booming.

[@walter2201]

Man dude you're a drastically underrated you definitely got a sub from me hope the algorithm gods bless your channel

[@Atmoseeker]

Appreciate that mate! Thanks for subbing and watching!

[@navigator6974]

So next level brother! Your channel is inspiring me like crazy! Thanks for all the good work!

[@Atmoseeker]

Thanks mate! And thanks for all the comments! Glad you're liking the content 🤘

[@MrSumner072]

These are awesome! So, one thing I'm going to try after this is to use the LED strips that line my living room and switch colors when needed, like flooding the room with red when a surprise encounter occurs or raising/dimming the lights for day/night, caves, etc. I'll check out Tabletop Audio also and figure out how to create a sound board. Thanks!!!!

[@Atmoseeker]

Thank mate! Sounds great! 🤘

[@thegeekmancave2189]

Now this is an awesome series different locations! I'd love to see lots desert, jungle, tundra, swamp the lot!

[@CampaignTerrain]

Great ideas, as ever, Sebastian. Nice vid

[@Atmoseeker]

Thanks mate!

[@ZaneMorganCrafts]

Awesome production dude. (as always)

[@BriefcaseBrown]

Great stuff as always Sebastian!

[@edgrimoldby3781]

The reptile fogger is amazing! Great video Sebastian :)

[@dungeonscronics3191]

Very cool more please

[@Atmoseeker]

You got it!

[@francescopace7079]

Now im obbessed with mood lightning for my games. Looks fantastic

[@Atmoseeker]

Hell yeah. Really can change the look of terrain dramatically.

[@tonycollins1729]

I so want to play a game at your place😊

[@matijaandric2765]

Great video as per usual!!! What camera do you use to get those smooth 'walking through dungeon' scenes (4:53)? A gopro?

[@Atmoseeker]

Thank you! That is an Insta360 webcam mounted on a Newwer motorized slider

[@jf649]

Where did you get the sounds keyboard from and how is it set up?

[@Atmoseeker]

That's the Elgato stream deck which I use for a lot of sound and lighting control. I really need to do some audio focused episodes, but the basics here is it's using the "random action" here to play an audio file for the zombie sounds

[@RPRsChannel]

*_Hi, I'm new to your channel/YT had not recommend your channel to me before yesterday; even though I have sub'd to over 50 wargaming/roleplay terrain channels for years._* *_You can add "Exciters", these tiny speakers around the table, hidden in the terrain foam houses or underneath the table._* *_Often used with insulation/foam boards._* *_I'll check out the rest of your videos later today._* *_I have Sub'd._* Edit: my answer came late in the video.

[@Atmoseeker]

Thanks for watching! Nice idea with the exciters, will have to give em a try one day

[@alicemursteinlesbefaen666]

great video as allways! i wouldnt mind more videos like this but on different settings, like wilderness, towns, and scifi stuff. also, those small purple and blue ambient lights seem like a great entrypoint into cool atmospheric lighting, do you have any reccomendations for online stores where they (or similar lights) are sold?

[@Atmoseeker]

Thanks very much! Yes the hopes is to take a look at some more settings in this series, I thought dungeons would be a good way to test the waters to see if folks are keen for more of this kind of stuff. I link a bunch of equipment in the description with the those rgb lamps available here on Amazon geni.us/a3hHyY

[@alicemursteinlesbefaen666]

@@Atmoseeker thanks!

[@wichmand4512]

What kind of arm / stand are you using for the pinspot? 😊

[@Atmoseeker]

Hey! Yeah that's a weighted table microphone stand. There's an amazon link in the description 👍

[@Anthony-dbz111]

you sneaky Atmooseeker you i saw that you upgraded you tools? new steamdeck biger and what is that other device beside it? im so curiouse now? great video love all these setup senarios and thoughts behind them. i cant wait to pick your mind more omg !!!

[@Atmoseeker]

You saw nothing! 😅 Haha thanks mate, yeah that's the streamdeck XL and the streamdeck Plus. Been trying them out🤘

[@Ran-mt8lf]

Ok how or where did you get the nice looking details for the dungeon liek swords racks and tables

[@Atmoseeker]

Those are bits of furniture from Heroquest 👍

[@Emanuele_Sacchi]

Your setups are always fantastic! In my games I use a ton of 3D-printed terrain and minis, as well as ambient sound and music. The problem is with lighting, though. All the effects you use work fantastically in a dimly-lit room, but are almost impossible to achieve in a well-lit environment. On the other hand, while dim light is great for atmospheric effects, it is horrible for reading character sheets, spell cards and the like. So I ended up with a trade-off, using normal white lighting right above my gaming table, and colored lights on the right and left, which I can control with my phone. It's not that atmospheric, and it's not very focused, because I'm using normal LED WiFi lightbulbs, but it gives some backwash of color to highlight the situation my players are walking into. Furthermore, I can play with the color temperature and brightness of my main white light, making it warmer (inside a tavern, around a fireplace) or colder (on a windswept glacier), brighter (midday in the desert) or dimmer (in the sewers on the city). It's not perfect, it's not as mind-blowing as your rig, but I think it's functional, pretty cool and a good trade-off between wow factor and small-print readability :)

[@Atmoseeker]

D&D for me has always been played in dim light, even if it's just drawing the curtains and having some candles. Totally understand that's not for most folks, and happy to hear you have some ideas that work for your setup. I usually have some player lighting for reading (small spotlights)

[@medix311]

New subscriber. I’d really like more info on how you program your stream deck. After seeing it in use here, I’m really intrigued about using it for my in person sessions.

[@Atmoseeker]

Thanks mate, yeah I'm working on a streamdeck layout for the gameroom I'm currently working on. Awesome to hear folks are keen to see how it's setup so that might see some short videos on the way.

[@DieterHageman]

great vid, you deserve more followers!

[@Atmoseeker]

Thank you!

Oi Great video mate!! Where did u got that chest mimic miniature??, looks awesome!!

Damn those big trees at 4:10 look amazing, did you make those yourself or get them somewhere? Amazing inspiration as always ❤

[@Atmoseeker]

Thanks very much! Yeah those trees were made using the techniques in this video kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y2G5o4FrZ86Wq5o

[@1415hahaha]

Hello! How did you program the stream deck? Does it require a computer or phone to have the sounds stored? Is it Bluetooth?

[@Atmoseeker]

Thanks for watching! The steamdeck requires a computer where you can store sounds. To keep mine portable, I've strapped a pocket PC to a streamdeck that runs the software for controlling all my sounds, lighting and projections

[@NelsonReyesJr]

AMAZING!!!!

[@FerdinandCassius]

What is that pad with the buttons that you are using to change spotify playlists? That is pretty cool.

[@Atmoseeker]

Hey! Yeah I use an Elgato Streamdeck for all my sound and lighting control. Basically, you can have each button chain together simple commands like "change the lighting color to this", and "play this sound effect", etc. Makes it easier when running a d&d game and with one button press it can make a whole bunch of stuff happen automatically.

[@BarrengerFynar]

OH the EYE candy!

[@paulo.esteves]

I saw you got new elgato with dials. Do you use it along the old one? I have the old one too and just wondering if is possible to use both of them at same time on same laptop. Also just curious if you consider a must have that new elgato with dials. I play tabletop rpg with my friends using stream deck for lights and sounds at home. Do you think that new one would be a great improvement for those who already have the previous version? Thanks in advance

[@Atmoseeker]

Yeah I dual wield streamdecks behind the screen with an XL and a Streamdeck plus both plugged into a laptop. The plus adds some new things which are pretty handy. For the most part I use it to control audio levels with the dials (increase/decrease sound effects/music etc.). Sounds like something that'd be good to review if folks are keen to see that

[@paulo.esteves]

@@Atmoseeker Thanks for the reply! Yes that would be great! We are totally keen and excited to see that possible review showing the Plus usabilities applied to rpg tabletop. Your videos are unique always top on the line. Thanks once again for your amazing job!

[@knightterrain6936]

❤🔥🤘YES!!!! YOU ROCK!!!🤘🔥❤

[@Anthony-dbz111]

is there anywhere we can watch you dm a game or stream one?

[@Atmoseeker]

Yeah this is something I would love to do more of to show how this stuff comes together, especially with a crew of folks to come into the studio and play when the channel gets big enough. I've ran or hosted a few online games here kzbin.info/aero/PLn9FTf3gHbvhUEcB-jr0NadsdDL5PKYde Well also be running a live game later this month with some folks from the last charity stream.

[@stargazingkiwi]

I love strong colored lighting, but I feel folks at the table often lament not being able to read anything off table. "I can't read my notes"

[@Atmoseeker]

It might not come across in the footage, but I actually had a big softbox (big light diffuser) set to about 50 percent for a lot of these shots creating some extra light, so the rgb light still plays nicely. It's not a daylight lit space, but some extra light won't totally kill the effect. In more darker room setups, I've also had little pinspots aimed at each players spot so they have a light for their notes and stuff.

[@FablesD20]

King!

Don't tell Mike about my side hustle 😅

And 3 of 6 guys cancel, like they did today 2h before start. Like the video nonetheless!

[@pezpengy9308]

sad comment on me that i do this kind of stuff for solo games. :(

[@Atmoseeker]

Nothing sad about that to me! I'll often do the atmosphere stuff for myself if I'm playing remotely 😅

[@MichaelSilvania]

Too bad players can't read their character sheets in the dark.

[@Atmoseeker]

You can have more lights on if you wish, this video is more focused on ideas to enhance the terrain. The dim lighting just intensifies the coloured lighting for the video (even though there is general lighting in the room that might not be obvious on camera).

[@mekko1413]

This is just stupid insane for a home campaign. I love making terrain and stuff for the campaigns we run but this is just taking it way too far and actually pushing people out of the game as they think this is needed for a good campaign. Hell critical role and some of the professionally done games do not do this.

[@Atmoseeker]

The title of the video is to make a dungeon epic, not make a dungeon average.

[@Hermitmaster]

I'm new to gaming and dungeon tiles, and this just inspired me more. It's something to aspire to IF you want to go all out, or just take elements from it. Like the LED lanterns, I'm taking that for starters. Be more happy 👍
