Terrain Crafting Revelations: Overcoming Obstacles

[@nubrandgamingvenue]

Change is good 😊

[@Terrain_Craft_Chronicles]

Hey Hey ... Ade, good to hear from you my friend! I hope that you are well and yes I am totally in agreement with you so I am excited to see where it leads for sure! 😃

[@tolemykus4805]

Good terrain is always nice, but at the end of the day, theatre of the mind is what we really remember. :-)

[@Terrain_Craft_Chronicles]

Heh heh... I was only chatting to my old gaming group tonight and reminiscing over games from nearly thirty years ago... we definitely didn't have terrain back in those days 😂

[@FantasyForged]

Hi sir! I was the one who post in redit about my terrain using EVA yoga mat! Thank you sir for you comment! God bless! Shout out for your next video❤

[@Terrain_Craft_Chronicles]

Hey hey glad that you found me... love EVA 🙂

[@FantasyForged]

@@Terrain_Craft_Chronicles i love to see you sir using EVA for terrian and tutorials

[@uniquewargamingterrain9125]

Good to see u back brother

[@Terrain_Craft_Chronicles]

Ah Cheers matey... hope that you are well!

[@BeardClipper]

Oh man it's so good to see you back making videos :) throwing away terrain is often not an easy thing, but it is so cathartic when it is the correct thing to do :) Thanks for the tag as well - take it easy brother and see you soon :)

[@Terrain_Craft_Chronicles]

It definitely feels good to get a new if somewhat ramshackle episode up... I really aim for this to be the restart that I need! And always a pleasure to give you a shoutout my friend :)

Ah, the game all hobbyists play: storage shelf Tetris.

[@tinaprice4948]

LOL mine is Billy bookcases from Ikea, and I had friends laughing at me asking if i need to move to a larger home to get more bookcases :/

[@Terrain_Craft_Chronicles]

Hah hah... yeah we did move to a larger home @tinaprice4948 😂 and these storage cubes are definitely like tetris for sure 😜

[@undeadamerican1107]

I love your perspective as an artist coming at the hobby. It's wonderful to see the beautiful terrain you create!

[@Terrain_Craft_Chronicles]

Wow thank you :) I do enjoy mixing my art and terrain ethics... gotta do more of it!

[@garoyse]

I've had the same thought about tiles. You don't need to inscribe any sort of grid. A simple 3x3 tile has corners, sides, and a middle. That's plenty of info to place minis. As always, I enjoy your take on terrain. It feels different from what a lot of other folks are doing, and it gives me interesting ideas on how to approach my own builds. Keep up to great work!

[@Terrain_Craft_Chronicles]

Yeah this is exactly the point... it is just enough information so that you can apply the tactical if you want it but it doesn't interfere if you just want a visual aesthetic! Really glad that you enjoy the stuff I am doing, I wonder what it is that makes it feel different :P

[@tinaprice4948]

I'm sure it was hard to let go of things created, but in the end cleaning out and clearing out feels so good! :D

[@Terrain_Craft_Chronicles]

Yes it does... And the space it has cleared in my so called terrain room is definitely giving me motivation to finish the projects that have piled up over the last few months... Hopefully you will see the completion of those here soon :)

First video of yours ive seen. A very pleasant video. I love the connection system that Wylock started with the tabs. Really simple and effective. Ive given up on the one inch grid idea. But my players are still stuck. Im going to have to make some form of measure stick and spell template for them. Final thought, is it a "meager artist income" or "artist meager income"? Cheers

[@Terrain_Craft_Chronicles]

Hah Wylock ... I haven't watched his stuff in quite a long time but is no doubt where the seed was planted, I also realised that in the video I didn't actually show the tab system working so I will accommodate that in my upcoming vlog series "Monday Montage". As for suggestions on the grid, I am often perplexed by folks becoming so hooked on it, I think so long as you can visualise what 6" looks like then you know what 30' looks like and from that extrapolate most range considerations or area considerations... I think that tension and story should overrule any need for exact and measured accuracy... it may well be harder to determine say 120ft or longer ranges with this method but I don't know that it is so important, I am sure though that very tactically minded players need the additional degree of accuracy but to my own mind that is missing the point of the epic character story in an intense life or death moment! I am grammatically challenged so I can't answer that last observation ;)... thanks for watching and glad that you found me!

I think that visually, when using 28/32mm tall miniatures, the floor grid needs to be 40mm square, so 5’ actually looks like 5’ !

[@Terrain_Craft_Chronicles]

When I made my original 3x3 tiles based on the standard 1" grid it really did always seem too small, a base barely fits into that area so a 15' square room would become extremely constricted with just three mini's in it... especially if there was any scatter terrain! My own living room at home is about 12x14' It has furniture and can comfortable sit around 5 people... so yeah the 1" grid is way too small. I don't actually use a grid and although I suggest here that my 4x4 tile can easily be read as a 20x20' area, in game, if needed I will call it a 15x15' area which certainly opens up the space a little! Cheers

[@gameon_ct]

Better terrain than mine! lol

[@Terrain_Craft_Chronicles]

Oh man you made me feel terrible! 😂... I admire anybody who puts a crafting knife to any material with the intent of giving their players an immersive experience... what it looks like is down to personal taste. I saw a guy doing terrain the other day which was just brown card with details done in a sharpie pen... so simple yet really great aesthetic! You can sure do better reviews than me... its why I haven’t ventured into them as I just don't know where I would start!

[@pezpengy9308]

hello again :)

[@Terrain_Craft_Chronicles]

ello!
