Have you considered using this to make modular walls? Like make the walls lock onto the tiles, allowing you more freedom in your tile placement?

[@WylochsArmory]

No I have not, for a few reasons: 1. The walls wouldn't be nearly sturdy enough to withstand routine use of clip-on features, which is the entire selling point of this low-wall form factor. 2. It is more finicky to deal with at game time or pre-game time (more parts to care about in your collection). 3. It does not actually allow more freedom in tile placement. The tiles are already fully modular with no compromises needed. The only possible way to further streamline might be if all of your tiles were of the Field style (that is, 2.5" squares with no walls), and then you somehow attached the wall on top, but again, see issues #1 and 2 above...unnecessarily finicky and not very strong.

[@WylochsArmory]

A great question though; will pin it for a while.

[@blizzardqc]

@@WylochsArmory clip on high wall on your low walls maybe? That is something I'll probably try.

[@blizzardqc]

@@WylochsArmory By the way, I'll try your locking system, but will probably put a 1 inch washer in the middle for weight, instead of a 1 inch cardboard piece. Not sure if the thickness will work.

[@TrueKoalaKnight]

@@WylochsArmory The one thing I don't like is the different textures on each side of the walls.

[@patrickleighpresents749]

Suggestions for clip-on features: Wall-mounted shelves, levers or other mechanical triggers, sentry devices (scrying stones or cameras,) runic symbols, ladders, latrines (hey, dungeon residents need a place to go, too,) outcroppings for use as cover in a fire fight, structural collapse (because not all dungeons are built up to code,) plant life (decorative or just vines that can be climbed or may be monsters waiting to strike,) paintings (who says a dungeon doesn't need an interior decorator?) and signs (because no dungeon boss wants his minions mistaking the laboratory for the lavatory!) Those are just off the top of my head.

[@ithinkofdemons]

That's pretty cool! I like the idea of the party entering a room where a motto or a portrait is represented on a wall. Keen observation may play into some later dynamic of the adventure! Brilliant!

[@invntiv]

Wow.... this is crazy. Friggin genius, and the fact you included made a system compatible with other styles of tile like Black Magic Craft shows a lot about you and how much you care about the game! It's not just about your channel and your ideas. Super awesome job man, I cant wait to give this a go!

[@TheGrizzledGeek]

Wyloch, you just added hours of build time to 3 boxes of tiles...but worth it. I had added felt to a number of tiles already but that is coming right off for this new method. This is one of the best innovations I have seen in a while. Good work man.

[@PrimalEdge]

awesome, you should call it Wylock

[@MarcusBeirne]

Pun-tastic

[@joeywarren60]

*RIMSHOT*

[@RollforDamageRFD]

Dude... beyond epic! This has inspired me to finally make a full set of tiles. I’ve always been a student of yours for good reason. I think I’ll have to add an extra layer of chipboard to the base of my EVA foam tiles because it’s a soft, forgiving material that would give too much loss of tension but I don’t want to give up my removable grass tufts of my tiles. I’ll build these soon and post on your page. Thanks brother! Amazing brain power you have ,Sir!

[@WylochsArmory]

Eager to see em!

[@spirit_of_mystery8735]

I think one of my favorite things about this craft is the pioneers (wylock, black magic craft, dm scotty etc.) And that they are not competing for the most popular style. They work together, many of them know each other and they dont tear each other down. I am very happy with the fact that they take the time to not only make a new and innovative idea, but they are also willing to adapt it to others' styles. I just think this crafting community is awesome, good job yall!

[@johnr7279]

I've got a pretty decent sized set of what I'll call classic Wyloch tiles. Every possibility imaginable...no walls, walls on one side and on both, 90-degree corners, clipped corners, and rounded coroners...ready for any dungeon map! I am anxious to see the retrofit video. The intentional loose tolerances are a super idea. Simply amazing stuff!

[@WylochsArmory]

John, the retrofit instructions are already in this video, toward the back half...

[@johnr7279]

Yeah, I kept watching and saw it there at about 8:00.

[@Larzlars69]

Amazing; within the span of an 11min video you have saved me the cost of a 3d printer using the openlock system to build stable floor layouts. So glad I stumbled across your channel a short time back.

[@kaneblaireau4864]

Brilliant! You never cease to amaze me by turning simple materials into attractive, functional pieces. I was trying to think of ways to get a smaller room without making specific tiles and am thinking you could do something like the doors but with a pillar that has a floating wall that sticks out from it. From there, it could end in a hollow pillar that you hairclip another pillar and wall section onto. They would be taller than the built in walls, but could do some fun thematic things with it. Will have to play around with the idea.

[@StarshipsSteel]

Moving from double to single corrugation AND the addition of the clip as well makes this a double win in my books.

[@daemonglasscock8768]

You obviously care deeply for this hobby, and the love shows right through to your craftsmanship and innovation. I've been a player my whole life, but I'm just recently starting as a dm. I've never had a dm show the care for the game to bring out actual models and tiles, always just battle grids and tokens. I love your work, and look forward to seeing ever more of your beautiful creations. You've earned a new sub.

[@WylochsArmory]

Daemon Glasscock thx very much!

[@joshuabulliner3889]

Ya know, the whole reason I got a 3d printer was to use True Tiles, just added a base to my existing tiles made by your method (and a 1 mm spacer to the ones I 3d printed), because the loose tiles weren't feasible on the table and I needed something to lock them together. Oh, well, I've invested too much $$ into it to change at this point, lol, but this idea is truly epic and makes crafted tiles much more attractive, again. Bravo, sir!

[@AdamBragg]

A fantastic video! Not just a great concept, but you were a real pro in teaching the method and going over all the cautionary nuances. I also really liked how you included tips on how to use this system with preexisting tiles, and even different tile types. You even made examples of them to show what you meant! You went all out and made this a gold standard video for others to emulate in producing their crafting videos.

[@WylochsArmory]

Thx!

[@ithinkofdemons]

I love this idea! You've really opened up a great way for beginner crafters, like myself, to produce consistent quality results with minimal expense! Cheers to you!

[@AquaBoogie523]

Just made a proof of concept an hour after watching this video with some of the older tiles I had lying around, Great Vid!!!

[@WylochsArmory]

Nathaniel Garth great to know it works!

[@BronyNumber4096]

Made my first foamboard wall today! I'm _almost_ ready to start production lining some tiles!

[@emanuelcamuglia5984]

just saw the Tomb of Horrors tiles making and saw you use foamboard to make the tiles and after making nearly 120 with chipboard i am dumbfounded because i could have saved so much time! now i gotta do a whole new set with a different theme! OH WHAT A CRAFTING SHAMEE!

[@luckybardgames3861]

Big shout out to Black Magic Craft. I just found him, and through him I found your channel! I definitely like this video and love that you showed how to combine this technique with BMC's foam tiles. Liked and subbed on both your channels now. Awesome work gentlemen!

[@PabloGaraguso]

Genius in its simplicity. Amazing! Great video!

[@MarcusBeirne]

Absolutely brilliant. I heard about your tiles through Black Magic Craft and this has sold me on them. I don't have a hot wire cutter or the space for lots of XPS foam, but cardboard I have lots of. Now to rummage through your back catalogue. 👍

[@Druidmoto]

I’m in the process of trying to become a crafting GM or just a crafting for a hobby and this this was the kinda diy thing I was looking for cheap fun and looking amazing can’t wait to get supplies and start making these

[@WylochsArmory]

Welcome to it!

[@Donclat]

I have been notching out the cardboard and putting magnets in there with epoxy. North 1/2" left of center and south polarity 1/2" right of center on all 4 sides, then corrigation clatting. They "snap" into place as you lay them down. It's awesome if you have the patience to knock it out, and on the hollow sides, you don't even need to notch much/if at all. Just epoxy them in and they sit nice and pretty. Makes assembly at the table 1000x faster. Just something to consider. Love the channel!

[@dmforsyth]

Well, Wyloch, you broke me. I held off Patreon as long as I could, but I have finally succumbed. It feels like you read my mind with these last 2 videos and gave me what I didn't even know I wanted. Thanks for all you do for Craftworld.

[@WylochsArmory]

Dave Forsyth thanks a million sir, means a lot

[@WylochsArmory]

By the way, never feel guilty if you want to end your pledge. Its a donation through and through.

[@dmforsyth]

Ha. No worries there. I'm just notoriously cheap, but even I have my limits when swamped by overwhelming creativity and usefulness. I've already started cutting squares for my retrofit.

[@MrRicehard]

Hello Wylock. I have been crafting my own interlocking tiles and I found that a very good material for the connecting clips is from plastic ice cream containers. The square 2 litre or (like I get from the recycling at work) the 5 litre tubs. It is almost the same thickness as the chipboard (a little larger) and being plastic is very strong yet flexible. Also no need to worry about the corners wearing out with repeated use. Cheers.

[@DanielMt.]

so simple but so genius ive been stuck on this for days.

[@BlackMagicCraftOfficial]

Fantastic!

[@WylochsArmory]

Thx!

[@SomeJustice19k]

'Canadian tiles'... Lmfao!

[@editdebreceni3186]

This is one of the most underrated videos! Thank you for that tip, basically now I can build my world from cardboard 😍

[@FilipeAguiarCarvalho]

I'm 3 years late, but I'm doing my tiles just now. I've made a few changes: I didn't put the cladding, I've just paint them black and it looks very good as it is. And instead of your cardboard tiles, I've put a layer of foam that I gather from disposable plates. They look great.

[@rwsorden]

Wyloch, you have outdone yourself! Bravo!

[@Metalpanzerwolf]

Man I am going to be able to fix an old set of printable scenery big boy tiles I printed off before the Open Lock version came out. I always hated how they would become discombobulated when I was trying to lay them out and put stuff on them. While I don't handcraft tiles anymore (I print open lock type scenery) being able to go and add this to old pre open lock stuff to make it easier to use is so awesome. PLA can get expensive, and with the average cost of a full set of printed tiles running about 40 bucks, this is an easy and worthwhile fix. Damn your brain is big. Thanks Wyloch!

[@lordmalachi6]

Well, I already was adapting your 1.25" grid to the vinyl floor tile tiles I ran across somewhere else on KZbin, but apparently I'll be figuring out how to make this work as well because this is pretty genius (I realize I'm a bit late to the game as well.) Only thing I haven't quite worked out is how to use your wall height/style and its associated clip ons with the vinyl tiles, but I'll get there.

[@carsonduerr2806]

Loved the concept! I made a slight alteration by having slots for each square, so that 1x2 blocks can connect without issue. I also made my walls modular and attached tabs to them so i only have to produce floors and walls separately (save those triangular corners). Keep up the great work

[@WylochsArmory]

Rockin! Out of curiosity, did you find it saved time meaningfully to do it that way? I assume you still made several different foundation sizes so that walls don't introduce error once they're attached? (that is, no walls would be 2.5"x2.5", a single wall would have to be 2.25" x 2.5" and so on).

[@carsonduerr2806]

Essentially, yes. It doesn't save time as much as it makes production slightly more efficient. this way I always will have the tiles I need, rather than being stuck with too many 1 wall spaces and not enough 0 wall spaces for instance. It helps as I'm new to making tiles and my number of finished products are still fairly limited. It also makes storage and sorting a little easier to manage.

[@jacobmurphy3045]

Brilliant! So glad i found this channel. Not sure if you've done this yet as I have not been through your entire library, but modular swampland might be an interesting build.

[@TrueKoalaKnight]

I just yesterday had this same idea! I'm using Formica instead of chipboard and gluing the layers with epoxy for an unreasonably sturdy build.

[@MissAiaGaming]

I just found this channel and I just wanted to say that your ideas and designs are fantastic! I'm definitely going to be using these in the future

[@WylochsArmory]

Brittany Clark thx!

[@ungluedmoose]

This is such a great idea! We've just been drawing everything, but this looks so much better! I think I'll get my group together one weekend and make a night out of making these!

[@WylochsArmory]

Friends would help with assembly line. That's important....these can be very tedious at first...

[@WylochsArmory]

Also. In the off chance you are here from the Reddit post and might be unaware...be sure and join the Tabletop Crafters Guild on Facebook. This is just the tip of the iceberg.

[@ungluedmoose]

Wyloch's Crafting Vids I AM here from reddit, heh!

[@WylochsArmory]

JJ Halshnizzle haha, I guessed as much from the phrasing of your post. Anyway, lots of other projects to discover. Enjoy

[@ryanalaska8570]

awesome advice! great method. I took notes and made a list of materials. Thank you for producing quality videos. I'll start my "Hoth" version ASAP!

[@jimeronimo]

Pretty slick idea.. simple but really effective. Thanks for putting this out there.

[@WylochsArmory]

Thx

[@Mr420NinjAFTW]

Great idea, Bill. This solves my biggest complaint with tiles.

[@TaberIV]

Wow this is so cool! I got into Black Magic Craft's videos and was planning on making a set of his tiles, but I'm definitely considering a hybrid of the two now. Really cool!

[@benweinberg3819]

Absolutely love this idea, and how you incorporated it into the BMC tile design (which is what I personally have the most of). While I'm here, have you thought about how to create any clip ons for those or similar foam tile designs, with or without walls? Have been trying to make some more interesting door attachments for my BMC tiles and figure you could reverse engineer something pretty well!

[@ricardorampone1737]

If you retrofit your BMC tiles to have the cardboard lock system you could start using clipons that utilize the lock part on the bottom.

[@adamdahlberg3401]

Great content, I just got back into RPGing Star Wars Saga and didn't want to spend a ton of cash on the game board. I'm glad I found your channel exactly what I was looking for. Sub and Bell rung. Keep up the good work.

[@WylochsArmory]

Rockin

[@GeneralKetchup57]

OMG, I'm crying:( All of my already built tavern tiles NEED this!!!! Great Video!!! Clip on feature: wall section with chains and rings for prison cell, or other torture devices. Wall section with weapons.

[@WylochsArmory]

Monsters & Mazes by General Ketchup why not just retrofit them??

[@GeneralKetchup57]

Oh, I am going to retrofit them! But now, I HAVE to retrofit them and my other crafting wish list items get moved further on the back burner:) This video really is revolutionary and your method is going to become my default method. Hope to use the Green Stuff rollers to help speed up my stone walls (I tried something different and too fussy). Congrats!!!

[@murishani047]

I realize this is older, but still really good. I found the raw clip tends to start to fray after a few uses (could be the chipboard I'm using) but I think if you dab the ends with some liquid CA glue (super glue) it would soak in and harden without adding thickness and preserve them longer!

[@scottc346]

Nice...going to retrofit my DMG tiles I made over 2 years ago. Thanks!!!

[@Fnordathoth]

Great stuff, love this! Will definitely be making these VERY SOON; just ordered the chipboard. Can't wait for Saturday to get here!

[@thibaudcollyn4672]

As clip on features mayby you could make like wall torches or chandeleers for estetics

[@EliosMoonElios]

I use that kind of locks and use wood glue to make both, tile slot holes and locks, hard and durable.

[@jasong6517]

Been waiting to find a way of doing this. Thanks man. Plus I'm doing this, but I'm using pizza boxes instead. Works very well.

[@djay6651]

Damn, wish youtube and this channel was around when we were playing DnD a lot

[@OmnipotentPeaceMan]

Never to late to start playing again.

[@Discipol]

Awesomesauce! I really think you could incorporate foam into your build. Specifically, to create the base "meat" on top of where you glue the 5 checker pattern cardboard, and the rest. Its faster to cut them, they are perfect, identical thickness if you find them pre-cut at your ideal thicknes. And its super cheap :S

[@nazrulnadziruddin9641]

This really helps me in my crafting. Thank you!

[@joehayward4545]

Very cool idea. What about doing a spiral stair case on the outside of a tower?

[@WylochsArmory]

joe hayward added to list

[@itsme-jj7zk]

That’s a really coll project. Easy but looks like it was made by a professional. Thanks👍

[@carlmayne3519]

Those tiles merge pretty seamlessly together using that method there ... shame I don't GM anymore else I'd be up for making some myself - Nice Job :D ...

[@gilbertpatrucco5196]

Awesome video!!! Sir, you never disappoint and your thought process is always on point!! :) Thank you for sharing your ideas with the community!

[@avankilsdonk]

Hello, I'm new to the channel and decided to start with the basics (1-5 and 95). Amongst the several small changes to the construction of the tiles, one of them stood out to me. Originally, in episode 2 at around the 5:00 mark, you say that you used 3/4" chipboard for the wall for this reason: "I did it this way in order to provide two axes of control, and you would be surprised at how strong these walls are." Then, in order to make the tiles fit your sizing, you had to cut the foundation width slightly to make up for the width of the chipboard. In the new method, you could make all the foundation tiles uniform and glue the wall on top, which is much easier than having different measurements for each type of tile (hallway, wall, etc). In the old method, the "two axes of control" make them more difficult to break. Are you sacrificing wall sturdiness for ease of construction? Is sturdiness not generally an issue?

[@WylochsArmory]

EXCELLENT question. The answer is, yes, you do sacrifice durability, however over the years and experimentation, I have found it's not been an issue. Use a good bead of hot glue, and hold that wall perfectly still as the glue is cooling. It will form a nice strong bond. Be reasonable when attaching your clip-ons, and breaking will not be a problem. TLDR - I was overthinking things way back in the day.

[@avankilsdonk]

Wow, thank you for the quick response! I was mainly wondering if it was a "pick your poison" issue between superior durability and simplicity, but reading your response that it isn't an issue answers that question. Can you recommend any other videos regarding general construction of your tiles? Most of them are about construction of specific items and I'm trying to make sure I have an accurate list of tools/materials to start.

[@scotjohnson7250]

FANTASTIC IDEA! Keep up the great work!

[@themakeshop1499]

I just want to say thanks for this idea. Oh yeah, and I hate you for it. :) I spent all week adding these to my BMC cave tiles. They came out awesome. Thank you so much for the idea!

[@StevesSmallWorld]

Nice solid tile system, I looked at the 3d print option but could not tie the printer down for months as have loads to print still with the Necroplex build.

[@WylochsArmory]

Yeah same here :-)

[@_jaska]

What I do to have tabs always in is make the tabs half the width (or rather I cut them in half). So when you connect two tiles, the tabs slide next to each other. You could do it by making 2 channels per side, but this works just as well. So you can have tabs in by default, and then take them out of the outside tiles. Less work and faster in-game assembly

[@TheDMGinfo]

Great stuff! Now do open door clip ons ;)

[@TheGhostGalleon]

That's awesome, I wonder if I can make anything like that for other games, like Zombicide! As for a clip-on, what if you made a wall grinder; two cylinders with spikes side by side. I think the game Orcs Must Die has a lot of awesome trap ideas if you google their traps.

[@WylochsArmory]

Thx!

[@peggyabrown1118]

Love this Idea, works on just about all tiles. Quick questions: What Brand is your paper cutter, and your Knife. Also what is the square that you use. These are not listed in your Supplies and Tools. Please list them for us newbies out here. Great Work Keep it up!

[@johnkelley9877]

Really neat concept! Super easy and effective.

[@josephmead8325]

Can you do a Clip-ON feature that's a minecart rail? Like, two clip-on features that suspend a minecart rail over a room?

[@commentsectionman6231]

You sir are a WIZARD! My goodness this is a brilliant idea

[@WylochsArmory]

Thx. Stay tuned, got an Underdark themed cave set coming out in a week or two.

[@SMunro]

Clip on wall panel suggestions: 1. Double Section of a Mural: Mural Options: A. Three panel scene of a knight on a Dragon with Lance battling another knight on a Dragon. B. A single panel scene of a wizard smoking a pipe. 2. Miniatures trapped in walls/doors: A. A wall panel/door made of miniatures warriors fighting in close quarters protruding physically from the wall. B. The Organ of Pain: A pile of cadaver torso with heads facing in mouth open, and a piano keyboard of ribs protruding from the mouths of a row of the corpses. 3. Archways/open doorways across corridors: A. The Beholder's Maw: an open mouth of teeth pointing inward with a few beholder eyestalks looking at the characters. B. Chains hanging from the top of the door frame ending in shackles.

[@SFEphobos]

Brilliant!!! Love this idea. Thanks W. Might I suggest calling it the Card Lock system? Ya know a play on card stock.

[@johnsuski5074]

I always loved these tiles, and this makes them even better. The only issue I ever had with them is the fact that the stone work is not represented on both sides of the wall (the completionist that I am). I have wracked my brain trying to think of a sturdy enough method, to no avail. Maybe you have a better idea than me.

[@ronjodway3521]

CLIP ON IDEA: What about a ledge or balcony in a room? Spiral or straight staircase up to said balcony? Adding a 3rd dimension only opens your possibilities... =) Keep the great vids coming!

[@AzraelThanatos]

Might be a good idea to take some polyurethane and give the chipboard a coat in the slots and the underside of the rest of the tile and let it dry in order to make that part of it more solid. Same with the linking pieces.

[@wadester182]

Hey Wyloch I am building my first batch of these connect tiles. Can you please show a pic of what the base for the curved (like in the video 6:14) and circular(sewer) pieces look like. Thank you

[@WylochsArmory]

Yeah so for curved corners I still attach the chipboard wall to the "outside" of the foundation instead of "on top." Like back in episode 006. Therefore the base ("foundation") is a quarter circle with a radius of 2-7/16 inch. (2-1/2 minus the thickness of the chipboard).

[@wadester182]

thanks for the quick reply...I was meaning on a regular tile you have 4 small squares on the base corners and 1 big square in the middle to create the slots they lock in...what does the bottom of the curved and circular pieces look like in that same regard since they won't fit all 5 of those squares and will have less slots to connect.

[@wadester182]

5:36 shows the base of a regular tile how does that look for the other 2 types

[@WylochsArmory]

Oh ok, you simply don't have clips on two sides...since those two sides aren't there. Your spacing of the chipboard squares is the same...the only difference is that the ones out "in the curve" need to be trimmed...they don't have to be exact, since you'll never see them.

[@jimmylucas9722]

First, amazing work as always. I have two questions for you though. 1 - Why the change from double-corrugated to single-corrugated cardboard? 2 - Why go from gluing the chipboard to the side of the tile and having those two axes of control to just gluing it to the top? Were these changes merely aesthetic or pragmatic in some way?

[@WylochsArmory]

1) Because I want the total height of the tile's foundation to stay at 1/4". The two layers of chipboard are 1/16" each, plus single corrugated which is 1/8", gets you there. 2) Because if you attach it to the side of the foundation, you would have to cut a slit for the tabs to go through, which is basically impossible to do with any kind of consistency or precision. It's also a lot more difficult than just creating the "sandwhich" by stacking up the layers of material.

[@BronyNumber4096]

I finally made a field tile using the old method (Eps 1-4) I used poster board for the 1-1/4 and 1-1/8 tiles instead of chipboard like you used, but for a first attempt, I think it came out pretty damn good. But I think I'm going to switch over to this method instead. Not only does it look like the tiles will be more convenient to use (not flying all over the place if someone accidentally knocks into them while in play), but the material is much easier to find. (Really, I have _mountains_ of _single_ corrugated cardboard. Not so much for the double corrugated, though.)

[@kevinm3428]

This is a great idea. I'm curious about retrofitting my existing tiles; specifically, my room tiles. Can you show how to make the 30'x30', 40'x40' and larger room tiles have the 'cardlock' Thanks!

[@gunmetalglitter4060]

Ok I know I'm super late to this party but these are awesome!!

[@spoon2675]

Clip on ideas- tapestries, trophies (animal/monster heads), portraits, animal hides, weapon racks

[@AlbertoRodriguez-zb3iu]

awesome, like your clip ons. prehaps you can do a door variant that opens and closes? maybe a clip that extends to adjacent walls? while a frame that holds the door?

[@WylochsArmory]

Alberto Rodriguez noted

[@liquifaction1]

Great vid. Tilescape by Rocket Pig Games has been interlocking 3d printed tiles this way for a while.

[@TheMonyarm]

Clip on mirror?

[@inkofthedragon]

Is there a way to adapt this system for hexes? Specifically for Gloomhaven. Any advice or recommended videos would be appreciated, thanks!

[@alfredogarza290]

Hey Wyloch, trying to become a crafting DM, I was wondering if you had all the measurements written down on a website or something? Thank you and I enjoy your videos

[@brianbetteridge8364]

omg so simple so easy and so fantastic.. thank you

[@KatetOf11and7]

This is amazing. One question I don’t think was covered - how do the interlocking sections work on the curved tiles? I don’t think it was covered, and I couldn’t get a good look at the curved side of the wall to see what that layer looked like.

[@KatetOf11and7]

Disregard, I saw a reply to a similar comment about a year ago. I’m still not sure I totally understand the logistics of the bottom layers on those pieces, but I’ll do my best to figure it out.

[@paulbrown6984]

This is neat. First video of yours i have seen (though i went back and watched nearly all of them now) I have never played an rpg but i kinda want to build a set of these now just to play with. Here's and idea for wall clips...how about some walls? You could do double and triple wide walls that could span several tiles to hold hallways and rooms together. I was also thinking one side could be magnetic so you could swap interior and exterior wall designs on them. I think the neodymium magnets would make for a sturdy enough bond that they would still hold the bases well.

[@WylochsArmory]

Thanks for watching! I've never done walls because the entire point of the short walls is to help with playability. If you want a feature on a wall, then certainly make a clip-on for it (as I've done in several episodes). But in general, I don't like walls, just my humble opinion.

[@TheSirPless]

Do you need to use slightly different tile bases like with the original ones or would this work with 2.5" square bases all around (barring triangle pieces of course)

[@tommyd2235]

If you smear a thin layer of super glue across the exposed edges of chipboard it does really well to reinforce it over time. I don’t use the thin super glue, I use medium as the thin is likely to run and drip everywhere. You will end up with superglue on your fingertip, but if you have never had superglue on your fingers then you aren’t crafting right.

[@michaelsorensen7567]

Gloves would fix that, as would using a different glue like wood glue or mod podge.

[@normaleverydaygoldfish748]

This is amazing! Subscribed! I'm a budget DM, and really want to spice up my game, I've been using hand drawn maps on graph paper. I totally want to try this!

Rockin. I have large backlog of episodes you might enjoy. There also other major DM crafting channels to explore: theDMScraft, Black Magic Craft, and theDMG.info to name a few. Be sure and join the facebook group: "The Tabletop Crafters Guild." Your world is about to change, my friend.

Wyloch's Crafting Vids thanks! I'll check them out! Really looking forward to trying this out! Can chipboard you used be found at major craft stores such as Hobby Lobby, or is it exclusive through the link you provided?

[@WylochsArmory]

Michael's used to carry chipboard (different brand but same stuff). Then they discontinued it, at least at my store. So I went searching on Amazon and found that stuff. I have used it ever since. There are probably other brands but for the price and quality I have never bothered searching further. 25 sheets that are 12" x 12" will last a LONG time.

can,t seam to find much double corrugated so this video with single corrugated is great...going to have to find a work around for the clip ons

[@WylochsArmory]

Workaround? For what?

[@dorianfarin6073]

Hi Wyloch, and congratulations : your work is amazing. How do you manage the openness of doors with this interlocking solution. You can't switch a wall tile to a simple tile when a door is opened. Do you leave the wall across the way ? Do you have "opened door clip-on" ? Thanks for your great ideas and videos !

[@Helryne]

Brilliant, sir.

[@WylochsArmory]

Thanks!

Nice.....anyone know approximately how many tiles you can make with each package of 25piece Grafix Chipboard???

[@stephenlayton4885]

I am new to crafting. Just finished some tavern tiles. I have seen that wyloch has mad several types. What suggestion would everyone have for which to start with? Also how many of each tile have you found to be the most needed? Thx!

Another method to easily remove the paper from the foam board if you’re not able to get the Readi-Board, is to use sticker solver. Just apply it directly on the paper and it will dissolve the glue.

How well does this scale up for larger tiles? I use tiles that includes as small as 2.5 inch square and can go up to 10 inch square (sort of an amalgam of everything I’ve seen done with cardboard and foam).

As far as clip-on ideas, I’m fresh out as well....but I would like to see you “go vertical” and take the whole Wyloch tile concept multi-floor/level....

[@G0ldmoon]

Bit late to the party but the clip on features, I'd love to see windows, and arrowslit. bared windows could be done with bamboo / wooden skewers..... Maybe stained glass windows too. Or traps?

How does the manufacturing process differ for the corner and rounded corners tiles with this system? Do you still utilize the same 3/4" and 1" chipboard innards for the foundations -- merely cutting through them as needed for the particular corner -- or was it not addressed? I apologize if this is covered somewhere else in the series; I believe I've searched through what I could. I enjoy the vids greatly, and they've been a great help in getting started with creating some visual assets for my game.
