Oh man professor, you have no idea how useful these craft videos are to me.

[@DUNGEONCRAFT1]

More coming.

[@DevinBellROCKS]

@@DUNGEONCRAFT1yes!! I love these. Thanks professor dm!! Dungeon pizza is like ice cream…..it’s all good!!! 😂

[@SteveSwannJr]

We may be related. When you used black spray paint that close to your white handrail, I just smiled. That's me.

[@trublgrl]

I kind of freaked out that he used it so close to the American Flag.

[@phookaziz3]

Dungeoncraft putting the craft back in dungeoncraft videos are the best!

[@HidingSleeper]

"Are you not entertained?!" Good video!

"Honey, why do my nice plates have paint on the bottom of them?"

[@francescocasto6672]

Washers glued under GW paint pots 😮! You Sir, are a genius!

[@DUNGEONCRAFT1]

Thanks 👍

[@JoshJohnson-em8fu]

It's a good tip. But that was Agrax Earthshade. If it was Nuln Oil there'd be no force on Earth that could keep it from tipping over!

[@miageeked3486]

Love and look forward to ALL Dungeon Craft videos!

[@BDTMack]

I love all Dungeon Craft videos!

[@baronx1000]

I love all Dungeon Craft videos, especially the ones with super simple and accessible crafting.

[@lilcwa]

A simple yet elegant solution to adding more variety to the UDT collection

[@DUNGEONCRAFT1]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@sablephoenix]

Dungeon Craft videos are an automatic like before the video even starts. I love everything Professor DM does.

[@DUNGEONCRAFT1]

Thanks you so much!

[@trublgrl]

I don't DM, and I don't craft terrain, but yes, I'm with you, auto-like. One of my favorite content creators.

[@CANDROU1]

No VTT or theater of the mind will ever surpass the fun of miniatures in my opinion. This was great, thank you sir.

[@andrewshears2077]

I love this easy crafting content from the Professor.

[@DUNGEONCRAFT1]

Thank you.

[@ryansullivan5854]

The washer on the paint pot is brilliant. Our painting sheet is covered in wash stains from multiple mishaps.

[@BobWorldBuilder]

I love all dungeon craft videos!

[@maximeclermont6339]

You also can use an old thick brush, watered down red paint and a straw to make the blood effect. By blowing through the straw at the brush with the watered down red paint, it will make a splatter effect.

[@justinmargerum2559]

There are multiple ways to do this, such as flicking the brush for an actual spatter, or using a stiff bristle brush and gently using a finger or thumb to brush the bristles and get a more dispersed quasi-airbrush-style peppering effect. Blowing through a straw onto a brush is something I hadn't thought of before, so thanks for the tip!

[@PilotSun-rg9bh]

I love these types of craft videos! Thank you

[@justinmargerum2559]

Love it! Simple = good. It's also a good activity for when not enough players can make it to a session: "Let's build some stuff."

[@russelljacob7955]

Ahh! Memories of Korindor Geneq! First ever session, we went to join some guards and had military training to make the cut. ....Korindor was an undead bloodline sorceror. Had a 7 in strength and 9 in con (iirc). Had an obstacle course right at start of first session. Korindor falls off balance beam. Takes max fall damage and is knocked to zero HP. But the Arena was best part. To make the cut, was a tournament of teams to test martial combat. Rules? Use supplied weapons and armor to make it non lethal... NO MAGIC. So Korindor... Oh my... What to do? Well, 6'8 Korindor decided to put on the bulkiest full plate he could find. Grabbed a massive tower shield. Picked up a spiked ball flail! Went out and started screaming. Doing intimidation and other Charisma based actions to make the other team terrified! Oh man, the whole table was just laughing, it was such a good time!

[@DUNGEONCRAFT1]

Thanks for sharing!

[@the_beast_among_sheep]

Nice! Back in the period of time when I was between the ages of about 15-18, about 22 years ago, AD&D 2nd Ed was the only D&D that I was able to get a hold of. We used to do so, so many PC deathmatches. Never wrote it into a campaign or anything. They would take place in a pocket Dimension that only a chosen few (the PCs) could access. And death wouldn't be final in that dimension. A dead PC's consciousness would simply return to it's actual body in the campaign world, or Plane that he or she happened to currently inhabit.

[@sonicexpert986]

Love the way those blood spatters turned out! That's definitely something I want to remember to incorporate into more of my terrain.

[@DUNGEONCRAFT1]

Cool!

[@russelljacob7955]

Tip for how I do blood staining. I will cite warhammer paint since I used this tactic mainly on warhammer figs. I actually use a clearcoat, matte finish. Then I mix in some ink. Allows me to dab and dry brush the main body of the bloodstain into the ground. I then will have a paint wet brush held just off the surface. Holding brush steady, I flick the brush head (not bristles itself) With my finger to create a blood spray. I dont like just random blobs. I try to tell a story. Giving direction and consistent motion. Perhaps drag, spray, bleeding out. I have for my W40K greenskin army a looted transport. I did bloodstaining on the exit ramp to make it seem like people got shot while disembarking. V pattern on ground and the brush spray on surrounding doorway.

[@DUNGEONCRAFT1]

Cool tip!

[@macoppy6571]

Deathbringer slays with hitting-below-the-belt dad jokes 😃

[@Celtic_Canadian]

I love ALL Dungeon Craft videos!

[@David-lb3tp]

The many micro tips are a phenomenal touch to the Dungeon Crafts on this channel. The washer on the paint?? Never would have thought of it!

[@AdamPreset]

The kitchen counter is the best place to paint.

[@eniarekul]

Loved the washer on the bottom of the paint pot trick!

[@Slit518]

In Grognard, I too use a range called Melee Distance which is where one can move and reasonably attack a target from within that range. Interesting. It looks like an interesting little project. Those are some cool tips!

[@BluelineBattlesports]

Thanks for the tip on doing the base coat. I had a bunch of terrain bases that needed to be based and this saved me A TON of time instead of gluing, sanding, sealing and painting. I knocked out at bases (8”x4”) in under an hour

[@DUNGEONCRAFT1]

Glad I could help!

[@ogrestamp]

I found a video a few years back of this crafter making her paste. She ised a 4:2:1 combo of baby powder:glue:paint. I use baking soda myself and it can get gritty depending on how you tweak the combos. But what I found was to let it thoroughly dry out (at least a day) and then you can lightly use a sand paper to smooth out the parts you want smooth. I usually use 8 oz baking soda, 4 oz elmer's glue and 2 oz Apple Barrel paint (2oz is one of those pots). But that makes a lot of stucco so I have to line up a lot of projects.

[@DUNGEONCRAFT1]

Cool formula.Thanks for sharing!

[@YoriTheHuman]

I rarely use "The Arena" type of scenario, but I love big battles happening inside a classical gladiator arena, either against human warriors or big creatures. Nice video, Professor!

[@ericgregory2422]

Cool stuff!!! I did something similar for a tank diorama I made. I used white glue and sand in a long rectangle, waited for it to dry, and then painted it black for ashfalt

[@Loki-]

Your combat and RP sounds like it would be so awesome to be a part of! I always love your suggestions.

[@dantherpghero2885]

I Love ALL Dungeon Craft videos! More Deathbringer please.

[@DUNGEONCRAFT1]

He is lazy and does not appear in every video.

[@PaladinProse]

Man, seeing Deatbringer perfectly rendered in Tailspire brings a smile to my face.

[@jclefbouncyrock]

Excellent video - love the idea of making a stack of different UDTs (forest, dungeon, gladiator pit, etc)

[@alazdmfirst5980]

Hey Prof. Thanks for another of your step by step crafting ideas. Always enjoy them and put them to use.

[@DUNGEONCRAFT1]

Awesome, thank you!

[@jaypgn6857]

Nice. I liked the added Pro tip about about the washer. That can save on some frustrations with a lot of other projects.

[@cattrucker8257]

Really enjoying the prop crafting videos.

[@DUNGEONCRAFT1]

Thanks for watching!

[@Raylan.Hood16]

Videos like this are why I love Dungeon Craft

[@liamcage7208]

Great. I will start on my own arena this weekend.

[@lorenzohot5234]

Love it when Deathbringer cleans his weapons.

[@irishthump73]

I love and look forward to all Dungeon Craft terrain making videos!

[@salamshalom]

Always so happy when I see a new Dungeoncraft video hit my feed.

[@DUNGEONCRAFT1]

Thank you so much!

[@MemphiStig]

I wish I'd noticed you wore a glove while spray painting before I tried it. 😆 Seriously, great idea. It combines two things I love. Gladiatorial combat and UDT.

[@clone_69]

Crafting videos are my favorite Dungeon Craft content. Thanks!

[@DUNGEONCRAFT1]

More coming. At least 3 in the pipeline that will air over the next 6-8 weeks.

[@tw1sted1nc]

Always good to see you going back to the source. Craft!

[@DUNGEONCRAFT1]

When people say "all he does now is hot-takes," shut em' down!

[@trikepilot101]

The washer on the bottom of the paint bottle is a good tip.

[@DUNGEONCRAFT1]

More to come!

[@Game.Master.Allen83]

Thanks for the vid! Love UDT and who doesn't love the blood in the sand of the arena!!

[@Ishanaroya]

Very inspiring - now I am off to get some nice sand... ... and blood-red paint...

[@JoshJohnson-em8fu]

Great tips with the baking soda for making the texture paste. I've seen people on other crafting channels talk about using grout in different shades, but I think the baking soda & paint feels more accessible to me!

[@user-nv3ue3rf4g]

I made one from a deep round serving tray with the veritcle sides of the tray serving as the arena walls. I then added wedding cake decorating columns for...well... columns. Four of them part way into the area. After painting amd weathering it looked great!

[@robertcarignan2983]

Years ago, on a miniatures blog, the fellow crafted the arena from the TOS Episode "The Gamesters of Triskelion".

[@mr.adamski6431]

Clever ideas! I especially liked the idea of putting a washer on GW paint since I’m a clutter with them.

[@JasonsVoicesLLC]

As I return more and more to actual tabletop play, this sort of thing is super helpful. Thanks for the crafting videos!

[@marcclement6597]

hmmm, I would do an edible version with a giant peanut butter cookie. Today you are facing the legendary Cookie Monster!

[@DjDreamcastle]

Ive always been in love with gladiator mini figs.

[@williamowens5144]

Always happy to a Craft video from Dungeon Craft

[@DUNGEONCRAFT1]

Thank you!

[@gilbertbarnett8225]

Mrs. Prof. Dungeon Master must be a real saint. I can't imagine many women who would be willing to have their kitchen counters and cookware feature in such a crafting video involving paint and glue. Where I'm from, that is what garages and work sheds are for.

[@justinmargerum2559]

I was thinking the same thing! The Professor apparently likes to live dangerously. 😆

[@DUNGEONCRAFT1]

She is.

[@DUNGEONCRAFT1]

I'm not afraid of her.

[@normanlennox4949]

I love all Dungeon Craft videos. I had never considered a gladiator UDT, but that just went onto my list of things to make. I love the execution. Especially the layering of the blood. Oh, Smarticus. Such a Dad Joke. As a dad who collects Dad Jokes, this goes in the book.

[@sutyi06]

Video of epic proportions.

[@DUNGEONCRAFT1]

Thanks! It ranks a dismal 10 out my last 10 videos. Please share it!

[@josephbradshaw6985]

My UDT is still holding up. It's good to have one circle in the middle of the table to help everyone focus.

[@DUNGEONCRAFT1]

Glad it was helpful!

[@Wraithing]

Excellent addition for my UDT Lazy Susan 😁 Whether it be a Thraex locked in bloody rivalry with a champion Murmillo or a Retiarius toying with several Andabata, this would be a great centrepiece to use with Graham Bottley's new Savage Gladiators.

[@trouqe]

I love all Dungeon Craft videos. Glad to see an alternate UDT for themes like this. Keep it up PDM!!!

[@steelmongoose4956]

I don’t really do much with miniatures and terrain, but I’m watching all the way through. It’s fun watching you work.

[@DUNGEONCRAFT1]

Hey thanks!

So good to see another UDT project. The arena idea is epic. I AM ENTERTAINED!!!

Can you imagine being a player at Professor DM's table, see this video, and be like, "Hmmmm, I guess we're fighting in the Colosseum next session."

[@Urban_Legends]

This was awesome! Thanks, Professor!

[@DUNGEONCRAFT1]

You bet!

Another fantastic crafting video by the Prof! Looking forward to crafting an arena for my players!

The crafting videos make me miss the days when my gaming group all lived in the same town and we could game in person.

I know these videos don't get as many clicks or views as the others... but this is great stuff. Thank you Prof. DM!

Love the video PDM. I'm mostly a theater of the mind guy, but I could see using these for the more intensive combats.

Awesome. I made a fighting pit recently with spikes on the walls. No weapons allowed, combatants must force their opponet onto the spikes to win.

[@MGunnarson]

MUCH prefer these crafting-related videos to anything "D&D drama related." I watch all your videos.

[@adammcclendon431]

My UDT wood board sits next to my craft table mocking me, with it's unfinished surface- Great vid, loved the blood spatter build up, blood usually turns brown quickly outside the body.... don't ask me how I know, LOL

[@NegativeHeadspace]

Wow it looks very gruesome! I must say it's perfectly brutal. Great job prof.

[@Stray_GM]

Awesome. I will likely end up making some UDT for my upcoming Dolmenwood campaign. No need for all the epic battlemaps with a lighter system, itll be a load off my shoulders!

[@JAH711]

Can’t wait to take a weekend and just craft some of these things

[@bennixx138]

Another awesome video, PDM! I could actually make this one, lol. I am going to be getting into miniatures and crafting once I get my deck cleaned this summer so I have a place to work. Also restarting my home game after a few years. My kids are all older and have had their own game experiences without me, so I think they are in a better place than they used to be and I would like to introduce UDT and minis to the table. I think it would add to the experience; particularly since we are playing live again.

[@hawkthetraveler6344]

that washer glued to the bottom of a contrast paint or ink from GW is interesting :) and worth trying.
