How to craft stairway dungeon tiles descending down (straight) for D&D DMG

[@TheDMGinfo]

You only need one or two stairways for a level (and you reuse them for each level), so spending a bit of time is worth it. I think the effect looks good. In real time it took longer to wait for the spray paint to dry (15 minutes) than to build and paint everything.

My husband & I have just started to play D&D & Pathfinder. He's played with none other than Gary Gygax! He's teaching me to play 1st gen D&D & your channel's just the thing I've been looking for!

[@TheDMGinfo]

GamerDrago Thanks. I am sure you will have lots of fun :)

[@StrongholdCrafterKev]

great idea for utilizing the depths of the cardboard

[@TheDMGinfo]

+Stronghold Crafter Kev the thickness of your foam builds for your dungeons can also be utilised to create downward stairs as well

[@NarrowAscent]

great as always loved the shadow effect

[@TheDMGinfo]

thanks

[@zelbarnap]

thank for these videos!

[@TheDMGinfo]

My pleasure

[@shaun30club]

have you tried to raise the wall going up to the over hang,maybe using a small incline wall going towards the back to the over hang. I was thinking it would give it more depth, just a thought, you do awesome work. I just stumbled on to your site today while i was looking for ways to build dungeon tiles.

[@TheDMGinfo]

shawn wilson you could. I just don't go above 3 layers. Mainly so that when you store them they are flat.

[@shaun30club]

that makes since

[@johnsmith-nl4gz]

may i suggest for structual reasons + asthetic ones that you fill in the corrogation on the sided of the peice with wall sealing putty milliput or something then sand them to be flash

[@TheDMGinfo]

You could. Or just add cardboard strips. I am too lazy to do that much though

[@RobDigsGaming]

Really nice effect. You should show the finished product a little more closely at the start, so we can see where the project is going. Thanks!

[@X.davidWilliams]

Great stuff sir, really great builds.,

[@TheDMGinfo]

X.david Williams thanks, I'd have thought you'd seen these early ones by now :)

[@X.davidWilliams]

Yes sir , I have . I just enjoy watching them multiple times, one day I'll get it done.

[@X.davidWilliams]

Yes sir I have, just refreshing memories.

you are amazing i am so glad you have done this

[@megamanrocx]

:D wow at first I was like wow that's a lot of work triming bu after I saw the final piece I was like WOW! :D

[@survivorjohnny44]

Very tricky, looks good

[@TheDMGinfo]

Thanks

[@higaboldgarious]

Have you ever tried highlighting the edges of the stairs going down with white like you did with the walls?

[@TheDMGinfo]

Yes, it ruins the descending effect. I only highlight edges of things above the floor level, or that needs to attract the eye it floor level. The darkness is what is important here, if you add white it breaks it up and it looks like a normal straight tile

STAIRWAYS THAT GO DOWN?! ..................I like it.

[@TheDMGinfo]

from down under :)

[@TheDMGinfo]

Digging through trash to dig through cardboard, it must be THE WEEKEND!

[@Maticus808Z]

After ripping out the cardboard, I was afraid the bits of cardboard and glue would show a bit. So I glued some card stock down to the ripped out portions.

[@TheDMGinfo]

Kaulana PakChong will work well. I am just lazy :)

[@Temdes]

Hi DMG, A quick question: which layer of cardboard to you put on top? My double corrugated cardboard has two layers of corrugated but one if thicker than the other. Is it the same with you? In that case, which one would you recommend putting on top? (also: do you have a place where all these questions can be asked and answered? Or is here under the videos the best place?) Thanks!

[@TheDMGinfo]

Under the appropriate video is fine. I would have the thinner layer on top. This will increase the stability of the cardboard.

[@Temdes]

TheDMGinfo Thanks for the quick reply! My three kids and I had a long weekend and spent most of it crafting and watching your videos! Very happy with the results. We have quite a few dungeons tiles now and some furniture!

[@TheDMGinfo]

Great stuff!

[@ravenstrahd5234]

Watering the acrylic down is glazing...

[@Brickerbrack]

Surely for this, it'd be easier to use single-layer corrugated cardboard and just make it double where you need it?

[@TheDMGinfo]

Single layer cardboard warps, double layer does not

[@Brickerbrack]

Ah, cunning...

[@jaredrhendricks]

I love that KZbin is showing me ads for pet stairs next to the video. Your confusion is understandable in this case, robots.

[@TheDMGinfo]

Jared Hendricks Mine currently shows adverts for foreign brides :)

[@whatstdiggn]

Two people who watched this video are the pre season 8 daleks

[@Brickerbrack]

Blimey. 11 months later, it's *still* only two.

[@Iudayus]

beware paper cuts on this build

[@TheDMGinfo]

+Iudayus cut it back with vigor
