You are a genius! I am a crafter so its easy, But honestly you dont need to be a crafter to do this, all the steps are carefully provided for you all you need is the time and patience. I love it! I am a newbie at D&D, but since my husband loves playing I joined in as well and ended up loving D&D as well. I have been looking everywhere in Pinterest to make the experience more real, but was unsuccessful until I Google searched and stumbled upon your video. I am super glad I did. Hope you dont mind me posting this video in Pinterest.

I find creating the terrain to be very relaxing and its a creative outlet that adds another dimension to the hobby. I only get to work on it on weekends, so I like taking my time with thinkgs. My monthly budget is around $20 or so, mainly since I'm still picking up the odd tool here or there. Now that I'm mostly kitted out, I'm just buying the odd tube of paint. An $8 box of plaster lasts me several months, in fact, I've not yet gone through two boxes. All the best!

I really like the detail you have added to the tiles. I prefer the spray texture just as a time saver and the fact that I make gigantic tiles. The spray texture also has the added benefit of giving the tiles a kind of hard plastic layer that increases the durability.

These videos are always great inspiration for me. I'm currently playing around with an idea for modular terrain pieces that consist of 2D rooms, fully furnished and joined by 1'×1' or 1'×2' door tiles. The idea is to have a number of premade rooms and hall segments that I can throw together on a grid to make an instant, totally randomizable dungeon that relies on encounter/treasure tables that are organized based on CR

Having been many many years since I have gamed, I recently decided to try and get back into it. Had never used maps/grids or tiles before and thought it would definitely add to the experience. Was looking up instructions for something totally unrelated and accidentally came across this series. Got completely sidetracked for hours and hours and binge watched the first 25 episodes, and now have more interest in building/creating tiles, items and dungeons then I do in actually playing. Thank you for these amazing tutorials and I look forward to losing many more hours of sleep while I continue through your library of videos.

Have been talking with some friends about getting back into role playing but now I think I’m even more excited about building the terrain. Guess I better harness that excitement and get crafting!

It took me about a week and a half to make my dungeon tiles inspired by Black Magic Craft. This includes a day of cutting, texturing, and base coating; a day for painting; and a day for polyurethane coating. I made about 100 pieces, mostly 3x3 squares. It cost me roughly $50 for the insolation foam, the paints, and the miniwax polyurethane.

So you'd be about 10% through the total coverage area of an 80 piece set that takes roughly 8 hours. Obviously there is a difference in style and look and how you use them. I love the look of BMCs tiles, but without walls represented it is difficult to layout a compact dungeon with little to no negative space. Also XPS is not widely available in countries that don't have cold weather climates, and when it is it is VERY expensive. Cardboard is basically free to most people. Almost everything built on my channel can be done within a budget if about $75. My goal with these videos is to be quick cheap and easy and to a reasonable quality. Wyloch tiles are also a great option as well as the original 2.5d tiles by theDMsCraft and his tilescapes. None of these techniques are superior to each other, they each have pros and cons. Basically there are plenty of options out there. It comes down to how much effort you want to out in, how much you want to spend and how quickly you want to build it all.

Oh I completely understand. I am an advocate of using whatever means you have available to you. For terrain, I just prefer my tiles to be thicker so XPS which I can get 2 12" x 3" for roughly $20 (I'm in Canada) is ideal for me. Cardboard as you stated is the most accessible and affordable tool for making tiles. I agree that when you say that no technique is superior to another, it mostly comes down to personal preference. I think you shouldn't limit yourself when playing but what you can afford and what you can make. I own both minis (a lot of minis at this point) and Paizo pawns which I got when I first got serious about playing Dungeons and Dragons because they were affordable. You use what is readily available to you.

You ain't kidding about being able to make this stuff fast. I made my first 80-piece set in a weekend (then I tossed it because it was single-thick cardboard and I found a decent and reliable source of double-thick, and then scrapped everything And tried printing the top and gluing it on instead of spray painting, then I scrapped THAT because I preferred the painted look. Basically I've made and remade it several times over the last two years).

Like the basic idea and am using lots of ideas for my gear. What is the advantage of attaching the walls to the floor? I have been using separate walls on card that slips under the flooring. I can use passage ends. corners, fourways, room walls and don't have the problem of double walls or crowded squares. Doors can be placed between rooms within the walls as they are different standard lengths. I need less floor modules as I don't have to have full modules with corners and end walls and the wall on card takes up very little storage space.

Not only brand new, reinforced boxes that deliver high grade lab products from the Denmark, but every day, the lab recycles all sorts of plastic items.. I have died and gone to crafter's heaven. The lab is like "Oh you want to use this? Go ahead! The more you take, the less we have to cart away!"... they pay to get it picked up and recycled after all.

when you design your modular tiles, how do you decide on how many straight & Divergent tiles to make? I usually use Dungeon quest tiles as a Guide, by figuring the portions of each type, (straight- curved- cross- dead end and T-Sections) then figure how many squares I have to use and try to fill all the squares Proportionally.

As I read your comment and found my self in agreement concerning satisfaction from the creative process, I thought to myself I should make a few of my own "Hirst" styled molds. I know of one other member of the YT RPG Brigade who has made his own molds so why can't I. I've made latex molds in the past so why not give dungeon tiles a try. Ya know I've seen his work and thought wow that's awesome but it never occurred to me to try make my own until now. Thanks for getting my gears working.

Peter Papulis: probably too late, but another option is cupboard liners. they are rubbery. You can get them in rolls or flat sheets. You can just lay them on the table or affix them to the tile sets. Also if you don't mind putting in the extra time you can add a thin layer of hot glue in the corners and a bit in the middle of each tile. Voila rubber bottomed tiles!

Hello DMG, I love your work and the videos are awesome. Very creative... I have a question about the scale of the stuff you make though. A lot of published adventures and maps for dnd have corridors that are 5' wide, while with your method the narrowest would be 10' wide. I know that you do have a conversion video for grid-play, and it's simple math to make a single square corridor; but other things like furniture also need to get scaled down i think. For example your wooden door, on a 1/60 scale (1" = 5'), would be a 3 meters high door... My question is, doesn't it look weird when using 28mm dnd miniatures? Like the characters are exploring a giant ruins all the time?
@TheDMGinfo
@TheDMGinfo 9 жыл бұрын
Norbpx First of all scale and playability never mix well. Secondly, if you were building a dungeon and carting all the materials around you would have no space to move anything in 5' wide corridors. There would be no way for larger creatures to get around in the dungeon (unless they were built into it - which is silly). Every castle and "dungeon" type structure I have ever visited has always had corridors wider than 5'. My chairs are 5' square seats :) This is so you can place a mini on them, not to be scale specific.

DMG, if you don't mind me asking where do you get hold of some decent miniatures. I am assuming from your accent that you are in SA, if so where can i miniatures locally if at all possible.

Hi, no I am in Australia actually. I have not lived in SA for 11 years now. It was always a problem back then as well. There was a book/game/new age store called Wizards that imported stuff. At the time there were three of them in the country. Ebay would be your best bet.

Are you ever going to relent and release the 'hidden' videos to the general fan base? I'm not very good at puzzle work like that... too many red herrings.

Ok, so I'm not necessarily a crafter per se, but a time estimation of a "couple of hours" is only if you're an experienced crafter, and "cheap" is only if you're regularly crafting things. However, if you're neither, it's more like $150 and about 8 hours of time. While I appreciate custom-crafted items, much less bullshit would be appreciated.

***** Everything you see on my channel was done for $50 including the gluegun (until it broke) and all the bits and pieces and glue sticks. That's 80 dungeon tiles and several roomfuls of furniture.I had never done this method before and I was not an avid crafter. I shot that video 2 weeks after starting and had never used a hot glue gun before that.One of my viewers said it only cost him $20 because he had the glue gun already. However, I have found glue guns for as low as $5. The Spray paint was about $3-$4 a can. Other bits and pieces were $1 or $2 dollars.Before you begin to attack me you might as well actually consider that 100's of people have done this and you are the first person to complain about "time" and "money". Total time was probably 5 hours including drying time. The "couple of hours" is the time to cut, glue and paint without doing the advanced tile method which may add about another two hours if you do 80 tiles.It is certainly cheaper than casting molds, buying 3d tiles, purchasing printed tile packs or even dry erase mats (depending on the quality of the product).

Sorry, DMG, no disrespect intended, but literally I am $150 in and more than 8 hours of crafting, not including painting. This includes the glue gun, and the cans of paint, and the non-black paint, as well as brushes, compass, ruler, and all the rest. This is even before making anything that isn't a tile. I'd be happy to scan my receipts as proof. Maybe it's something that can be chalked up to differences in currency exchange, but $20-50 is fully mental. I even had to buy the box for the cardboard at home depot. Don't get me wrong, I appreciate your work 100%, and you're the reason I'm doing this, but perhaps you should stipulate that your cost is dollars AUS, and YMMV. All criticism aside, I love your videos (as I'm sure you know) and I'm very glad I found them. Please keep up the good work.

What currency are you buying in? That $20 was USD. I never bought any cardboard. All my cardboard was scavenged.
