How to Build my MOST USED D&D TERRAIN in ONE AFTERNOON!! (Quickcraft Ep. 2)

[@MiserySage]

Love the shout out to Jermey lol Im a big DM Scotty Fan so I totally understand how inspired one can get after watching videos like these.

[@StorycraftSociety]

I think it's super important to give credit to all those who have inspired me! They've been so huge for me personally, it's the least I can do!

[@RodSalm]

Cool beans. And good on you for the shout out to BMC. I will be using some of this in my next build of a cliff side. Need to find thick xps though. One thing I will do different is sand on one side, grass on the other, don't know how that'll look, but that's the plan! Thanks.

[@StorycraftSociety]

That sounds like it will be really cool! Be sure to tag us in some pictures! We’d love to see them!

[@hobbiest6831]

Good idea

[@spencermagleby9336]

The possibilities are endless with these things!! Awesome job at yet another easy yet modular craft!

[@StorycraftSociety]

They really are! After years of grabbing for these things over and over, I'm pumped to be able to share their versatility with everyone!

[@VerbenaComfrey]

I'd love to see how you make thise cliff pieces hang over something like you have them set up here!

[@dan19721121]

I just found your channel, as a recommended on KZbin. I just thought you would like to know the reason why I subscribed to you is how genuinely relatable person you are. I appreciate you being real. Keep doing what you're doing! I hope you and yours are well. P. S. I'm m a fan of Jeremy too, as well as DMCraft, Wylock.

[@StorycraftSociety]

Thank you for your support! I’m glad you found us! And I appreciate that, my goal with the channel has always been to build a community around this common shared passion we all have! Thank you again, it really means a lot!

I'm a brand new newbie to this hobby and I actually found BMC first, and it was one of his videos that lead me here. He did one about the five first projects you should to, and terrain stackers was one of them, and here I am :) and honestly something I've noticed in his videos too - you all are constantly shouting each other out and saying like "hey I got this idea from this guy" "I was inspired to do this by this other guy's project" and as someone who's done a lot of different creative hobbies, it's really refreshing and absolutely beautiful to see. People can die mad about it if they want to, but the fact that this community is so supportive of each other is one of the things I love.

[@StorycraftSociety]

I do really love that about the online crafting community! It’s genuinely really supportive and has a general kind of feel like “a rising tide raises all ships.” Kind of thing. Jeremy was/is (obviously) a HUGE influence on me to start crafting in the first place. It makes me really happy that his videos lead you to me! I hope the stackers turn out well! Take some pictures and tag us in them when they’re done! I’d love to see them!

[@Tecnolock]

You just got yourself a sub my friend. Been following BMC for a while and your channel popped up in my feed. I've been playing old school paper pencil AD&D 2e since the 90's and just now started playing with 3D landscapes. Love your videos, how relatable you are, and how you pay homage to those who inspire you. Keep up the great work!

[@Admin-rn6ym]

Binge watching these. Love this channel. Thanks bro

[@StorycraftSociety]

Thanks you! And thanks for the support!

[@jacobhope6164]

Great modularity, great video!

[@StorycraftSociety]

Thanks so much!

[@earlkriewall7251]

Thank you for showing how you made these. If you're looking for suggestions, I'm always looking for more scatter terrain to put on the table - perhaps fences, hedges, and so forth. Keep up the good work.

[@StorycraftSociety]

You're very welcome and thanks so much! And no spoilers, but a video on fences may be coming :)

Thank you!

These do seem like they’d be really useful!

[@StorycraftSociety]

They really are!

[@WeGeekTogether]

Solid build, need to add this to my collection. I like the ideas of how versatile it is... I'm imaging a giant castle wall on these..... hum......

[@StorycraftSociety]

That would look pretty epic!

[@rickluque6429]

I think it’s so cool that you give a shout out to Black Magic Craft in every episode..Very cool my friend. That shows you have a lot of Class !👍👍

[@StorycraftSociety]

Thank you! He was the first channel k watched when I started crafting and most of my skills honestly come from his videos. So it only feels right to give him he’s dues.

[@rickluque6429]

@@StorycraftSociety I’m sure you have a lot of young crafters out there watching you now and learning from you. Thank You from all of us.🙏🏼👍👍

[@erc1971erc1971]

I have officially started on my Cliff Stackers. I have all 9 cut out, and I will paint them 3 at a time between other crafts to avoid burnout on them. I am going to be using a ton of paint on these, holy cow.

[@StorycraftSociety]

That’s awesome! Be sure to take some pics and tag us on social media! We’d love to see them!

[@erikturner8005]

Hey what are the recommended dimensions for the stackers? Guesstimating from the gridlines yours look like they are about 4.5 inches by 14 inches or so.

[@snarkback]

Great video just subbed looking forward to troving any other videos you have!

[@StorycraftSociety]

Thank you!

[@paulsavas2394]

Great video! Just found your channel. Love your vids and your vibe! Keep crafting!

Thank you!

[@hotknux]

Not bad this earned you a sub

[@gabehugh343]

Great stuff man. First off thanks for all the great videos and inspiration. Just wondering if you could build stackers with just cardboard and something like foamcore instead of XPS. I have very limited room and money here currently so just any ideas would be great

[@jjh9355]

Awesome video.

[@mr_mars_vr]

You have a great KZbin personality

Thank you!

[@hobbiest6831]

Great video. I'd be interested in a more advanced stacker method!

[@StorycraftSociety]

That’s a good idea!

[@jonathanwells171987]

What (grass) battle mats do you use?

[@parkerkenna6096]

What are the 9 sizes you have made?

[@derkada2728]

Is the foam you're using 1" or 2" tall? As I'm going to buy the foam I can get the appropriate height. Thanks!

[@StorycraftSociety]

2” but you could also get one in and just glue two pieces together before you craft.

[@chang1910]

question.. hope you are still around to answer. why cutting the top if you are gluing sand on it (or using the foil ball for that matter) i'm wondering if i can skip this step (my hand-wrist is not loving this cutting) thanks

[@ChonkyTatzelwurm]

There are two reasons I would consider it- 1, the factory finish of insulation foam can sometimes fight against PVA glue, since PVAs tend to have a small amount of shrink while drying they can, though they don't always, peel away a little from a factory finish surface. I personally like using the Black Magic Craft black modpodge to glue sand like that down because it tends to be a little tackier to the factory finish on the foam, doesn't shrink as much as standard PVA, and leaves black showing if grit does come off. The other reason is that while you want the top flat in practice, having some small variations that will still show through the sand will give you visual interest that you will still notice once its all been painted, particularly if a given stacker is the top layer in a setup. If you want to do that without cutting into the top, grab a rock with an interesting texture and use it as a first pass for the foil texture step to get some deeper indents. Hopefully that's a good explanation as to why you would, and a couple of things you could do differently if you wanted to avoid doing so.

[@chang1910]

@@ChonkyTatzelwurm thanks.. i went with your second advice and did some variation without cutting.. is to hard for my joints :) Thanks

[@reltin931]

this 10 by 4 inche by 2 thick?

Actually the one I made in this video is 13”x5”x2”. But the size doesn’t really matter since I have made a bunch of them over the years in a variety of sizes!

[@alexandervladimirovich6542]

I literally noticed it ONCE lol, and now i kinda feel myself like a mass murderer. And its not only about you, literally every crafting channel trying to mention this guy (except Lucas, i guess ). Seriosly, it looks like black magic craft paying money to crafters for mentioning him.

[@StorycraftSociety]

Not my intention at all; I just feel like if I don't pay forward my respect to the guy, I'm not being transparent to all of you! But I'm sure it does get tiresome to have to hear me say it over and over.
