Modular CAMP Terrain for Dungeons & Dragons

[@zeddoverkill]

Dude, that leather technique with the construction paaper and diluted PVA is freaking slick!

[@Kraleck]

I love it! Contemplating how to make an "organic expansion" to this where a camp settlement over time has expanded into rudimentary buildings (crude storehouses, rickety barns, simple fence-and-netting walls, etc.) and, subsequently, increasingly-solid structures (stone foundations, metal-reinforced supports, brick-and-mortar outer walls, etc.).

[@dirigoallagash3464]

Have you ever watched the show 'Alone'. Many of the contestants do just that. It's a pretty fun show and doesn't feel 'too fake'/over produced, course you never know with those shows.

[@vaughn.reynolds]

This sounds like a great campaign element, too!

[@AlexTheRed4]

The netting you get that garlic usually come in would make for a really good fishnet fence

[@markfergerson2145]

Well, humans historically had "villeins" (villagers) living in ramshackle huts, tents and other marginal shelters just outside castles and built-up towns, so why not the non-human Bad Guys too? Such shelters would be great campsites for Bad Guy armies on the march, too.

[@Bluecho4]

Round-houses, storehouses on stilts, earthware ovens, shrines or worship buildings, etc. There are many little details that can be added to a settlement to show how it's been built up. Another way to mix tents with more permanent buildings is to show a _regression._ Where tent cities have been erected amidst ruined buildings. An example of this might work well with games like Mordheim or Frostgrave, where survivors make whatever shelter they can when the buildings are too unsafe to inhabit (whether through dilapidation or monsters). Or else undamaged buildings, with the tents erected by the poor, refugees, or downtrodden. Nothing serves to illustrate a disparity between the haves and have-nots like showing people living in the shadow of perfectly functional buildings they aren't allowed to shelter in.

[@vaughn.reynolds]

That paper and glue combo for leather is GENIUS

[@bloodbane1344]

I wanna thank you for your amazing videos! My wife and I started crafting terrains for a dnd game I will be running (Ghost of Saltmarsh) and your videos helped me gain confidence and tricks on the craft and miniatures painting techniques! Thank you very much!

[@c.a.mcdivitt9722]

Got right to the middle of the Duragar fortress in Rime of the Frostmaden. Then the Bard sent out a telepathic message of "we're here to rescue you" to some prisoners- and everyone else on that level. Combat lasted three sessions, for a total of almost fifteen hours, and nearly drove the GM mad.

[@Kiesmander]

YAAAAASS more of the craft-paper-leather! I love watching this technique come together.

[@jamie69murphy]

Adding ink to modelling compound - genius! I love that you built the lean to tents with notched joints too.

[@KnarbMakes]

Cool set, pretty much universally usable. I've started using oil washes and paints recently too, so I had one question. Do you find that the dry time sometimes gets in the way of your momentum? How do you deal with that? Just leave it as a last step?

[@BlackMagicCraftOfficial]

Always a last step, and only as washes. I find the washes don’t take that long to dry, just a couple hours.

[@michaelreeves6565]

Real late to the party, but if you let your blobs of oil paint sit on the cardboard for 30 minutes or so, some of the linseed oil will leech out onto the cardboard and with that gone, it takes less time for things to dry.

[@shinybugg9156]

Cool stuff! The paper leather is a good idea! Other papers actually work really well for finer cloth, too. Something to keep in mind when making curtains or bed covers.

[@kitchensinkmuses4947]

I use construction paper and glue too. It's so realistic and atmospheric looking. I don't even paint it, maybe an oil wash. I just add it last and it looks totally natural. Love your carpentry on these

[@grampawerewolf9832]

'Destiny Fulfilled' for stray bits!! 💓 & so glad I winterized our rv trailer 😉 OMG dem bones n skellingtons!! 🤩🤩

[@AzraelThanatos]

One relatively easy addition to this, for those with a Dollar Tree nearby, they often have a "frontier" set of plastic cowboys. A lot of people grabbed them for D&D thanks to the wagon, but there is a campfire in it that paints up quite good and a cooking brace that's intended to go over the top of it. I haven't used the brace, but I've got several of the fires painted up...I just glued them to the 2" bases from the Deep Cuts/Nolzur's minis (I don't like using them with figures because they pretty much require people to grab them by the mini themselves, and since most of my other minis are based on the Reaper or similar standard bases, I had extra for terrain scatter). The campfire works great for any encampment and is large enough that it's not out of place for most larger creatures as well. And it can be plopped down for a players camp as well. Sure, the cowboys and indians and the horse for the wagon are kind of crap, but the rest of the set is a great find for a buck.

[@MonkeyJedi99]

The "crap" pieces will entertain the heck out of younger kids. If you don't have one, you can ask around friends and neighbors?

[@GerialdsForge]

Always awesome to see more classic-themed D&D builds you make 🔥 Love that one moment happening every time when it all gets unified, being primed in spray booth. Simple, yet such useful and immersive terrain pieces - and it's incredibly satisfying to hear your thoughts all about it. Thank you for inspiration & another great episode! 👍

[@Miscast]

Straight out of Breath of the Wild! Amazing!

[@BlackMagicCraftOfficial]

Don’t tell anyone….but I’ve never played it….or a Switch at all 🤫

[@elgatochurro]

@@BlackMagicCraftOfficial if you like skyrim... you'll enjoy BOTW i dont, so i didnt... long time Zelda fan. dunno if they'll make BOTW2 worth the price.

[@dukerottingface]

Your "quick and dirty" scatter terrain builds are always so inspirational! I always get new ideas for my D&D campaigns from them.

[@jesternario]

Yeah, my players in one group infiltrated an orc camp in the best way. My cousin, who played a gnome illusionist, walked into the camp and started criticizing how horrible their setup was, how terrible the location was, the fact that their weapons were old and rusty. He wouldn’t let me get a word in edgewise, not even when I was trying to say “roll initiative.” It was great.

[@Blazeillustrator1978]

The rust paint is cool especially adding a touch of water on it after it dries to bring out even brighter rusty orange and gold tones. !

[@markfergerson2145]

Love the color textures and shading you're putting on the faux leather rather than the previous monotone Viking stuff. It's great fun, and inspiring, to watch your techniques evolve.

[@GeneJordan]

This makes me want to spend some time playing a fantasy role playing game such as AD&D. It brings back the nostalgia of those pre-Internet games that I played years ago. It would also fit on most Age of Sigmar type battlefields as scatter terrain.

[@craft-o-matic2377]

Just fantastic Jeremy! I would love to camp out in any of those tents! Your work is always completely unique, and I adore that! You never cease to inspire me. Thank you so much! Lisa

[@goblinshut]

I cant wait to get back to playing rpgs in person. Something like this would blow my group away!! I am also giddy to hear your thoughts on the rust! So happy that you like it 😄

[@axelstengel9051]

I was ready to buy it, but I'm in Europe... I hope it will one day be available in Europe, as well as all of your other products, they seem almost magical.

[@goblinshut]

@@axelstengel9051 Good news! It's available in Europe through a number of retailers!

[@WylochsArmory]

YES. It actually reminds me of Baldur's Gate. Take a photo of that camp and just use it in the Infinity engine.

[@newtybot]

This video informed me about Bugbears and I am now extremely in love with them

[@mdvlmangetmedieval2626]

Really like the hide effect! I will actually use leather scraps since I have those around anyway but I really like how you made simple construction paper look! Nicely done!

[@SteveFamine]

I really like this - just rewatched. You're really good at painting browns/warm colors

[@dougmartin2007]

Awesome! I can see these techniques being used for a sci fi tent city or a military camp.

[@kallisto9166]

Great stuff! They have a lot of modular potential, the kind of build that can fit in almost anywhere. Surround them with rocks or walls and they would make a perfect lair.

[@skywatcher7]

So glad the Rust effect is back in stock! Just ordered! I've been eyeballing it and it's been out of stock each time. Great build btw!

[@neo10]

I've watching your videos for a while but recently they just came in so handy lol I make stickers and I was working on a DND set of stickers and i ended up just putting your videos on while i worked and the inspiration flowed. Amazing work from the jump as always.

[@trenthobson2756]

Definitely one of those pieces of terrain that absolutely everyone needs

[@lucpar23]

Awesome. These are display worthy let alone good for a quick game. Your videos give me a lot of inspiration and my builds are getting better

[@CrimsonTemplar2]

That rust looks fantastic

[@carrie4910]

Awesome! That leather effect you get with paper 😍

[@thanasisgeronimos9124]

at 4:35 the wood for the tents are similar in shape to a ballista....you could make one that the bad guys have and travel with , as a protection from the good guys

[@BlackMagicCraftOfficial]

Way ahead of ya 😀 kzbin.info/www/bejne/eHqxmqeCbNujbbc

[@MKempICI]

That white/sepia ink combination worked out amazingly well. Well done, sir!

[@TheStuffedIguana]

That rust wash looks truly magical!

[@techadeptcrafts]

Fantastic base camp. I’ll be finishing up a 5 year campaign in December, so I think I’ll get something like this done for the start of the next campaign.

[@CrazyCrafterLivestream]

Loved those highlights on the tent mixing the inks! Awesome build Jeremy. 🤘

[@spoonz202]

Really like how this turned out. probably one of your best to date. I feel like you might be able to skip a bit of a step with some slightly lighter colored construction paper if you were speed building these. like a medium to light brown would be pretty close to where you ended up.

[@BlackMagicCraftOfficial]

Yea, this time I wanted to try doing the paper after paint, but didn’t have enough brown and had to use some green. If you got a couple shades of brown and beige it would look great unpainted as a final step.

[@MrLGDUK]

Yeah, these are amazing! I love the idea of having some DnD terrain for these kinds of scenarios.

[@ricks5756]

The rust effect paint is made by the company "Dirty Down", who produces a lot of very good effects paints.

[@JWbrasser]

The Verdigris is also AMAZING... I havent used moss yet...

[@aerial_silks_hoop]

Nice. Love that rust effect product you mentioned.

[@hauntswargaming]

[@samuelbroad11]

really good man. Love you painted up the sponsors gnolls too.

[@brokenbydesign5653]

If were being honest, between this and his old builds I feel like there's alot more shortcuts being taken which is resulting in the overall build looking FAR less detailed and doesn't feel like a such effort goes into builds anymore. Like the witches hut, the slanted decayed house for example had so much effort and time put into them. Hope to see more detailed builds in the future

[@BlackMagicCraftOfficial]

The old builds took less time. Besides, for gaming shortcuts are good, time sinks are not.

[@joshuaamodeo5032]

Are you drunk? A lot of his recent builds are way more complicated and detailed than the ones you named.

[@mrgunn2726]

Great video! Love seeing you use safety gear! Love the ink in the plaster tip! Would love to see how you built your spray booth!

[@BlackMagicCraftOfficial]

Weird fetish, but who am I to judge. There is a build video for the spray booth 🙂

[@mrgunn2726]

@@BlackMagicCraftOfficial Lots of crafters do things w/o any precautions, micronized paint, small bits of plastic, all bad for the lungs, which is why I liked seeing the emphasis on safety, you had no need to talk about it, you just set an example.

Nice build bro . Nice to see something different . You make the imagination in each crater thrive

[@tomroberts9132]

Love your work dude! Always imaginative and usually from scratch! Great stuff! My favorite channel!

[@HacksawsHobbyBunker]

Excellent! I suspect the construction paper/water/pva technique would also work well for something like a Woodland Indian longhouse, or even an early settlers cabin where the roof is covered with bark strips. And thus an experiment is born. Cheers!

[@jackhelm9852]

Very VERY cool. I wish I was brave enough to jump into the airbrushing world. It seems like you have come a long way with it and really enjoy it.

Oh snap, this just made my mind go hyper with Ideas XD Damn you Muse! But really I love the channel and it brings a smile to my face even if it isn't a genre, something my country kins men always say to us is "Steel met die oog" its a Idiom direct translation is "To steal with the eye" the idiom meaning is to keep an eye on your mentor or teacher's and copy their technic and make it your own through experimentation. So I will say again, thank you for all the tips and tricks you have given us and all the entertainment through out the channel's life and "You and your family is in my heart and send all my best wishes to them!"

Thing is I borrowed a friend's spray paint kit and found I really suck at it LOL. Practice will not make perfect with me I'm afraid. But I like painting by hand and I am fairly good at it so I will make this set but probably one piece at a time then move to something else for a while.
