In my previous post about cavern tiles and scatter terrain, I expressed that a) I had mixed feelings about how they turned out, and b) I wasn’t quite done with them yet. It turns out that adding a few little extra bits addressed a lot of my misgivings about the questionable lichen-y parts of my […]

With my campaign coming up on the Lost Mine portion of the Lost Mines of Phandelver, I decided it was time to make some cave scenery. My existing tile sets are good for wood-floored areas and symmetrical stone buildings and dungeons, but they don’t lend themselves very well to more natural cave formations. Mass Production

I had hoped to have a good bit more terrain ready in time for the Thundertree dragon encounter, but it seems I was overly ambitious on the time frame. One of the in-progress projects that wasn’t done in time was a hill to lay out on my big grass-lined board, for the dragon’s tower and

Usually I don’t make separate posts about in-progress projects, but I’m making an exception in this case because some parts of the project are done, and others are in a sort of limbo state waiting for me to decide what to do with them… so this seems like a good point to pause and post

In my post about my modular tower system, I mentioned that I still needed to build a way for each level of a structure to be accessed from above and below. This is more of a challenge than it would seem at first glance. How can I achieve maximum flexibility and modularity, without having to
With the Thundertree dragon encounter coming up in my D&D campaign, I really wanted to have some terrain ready to make it more visually interesting. I figured the tower and its adjoining building would be great centerpieces for the session. But, in keeping with my desire to make everything re-usable, just building a single structure
Next up in my outdoor terrain projects was a series of dirt roads and trails. I wanted to be able to depict the wide and well-traveled, the narrow path through the forest, and something in between. A set of 1″, 2″, and 3″ pieces seemed like they’d cover the requirements. For many of my projects
Roads? Where we’re going, we don’t – er, yeah, actually roads would be helpful Read More »
With a starter collection of dungeon tiles and a few passable doors completed, I decided to move on to trying my hand at some outdoor scenery. I wanted to continue with the concept of making terrain in a way that’s flexible and modular, rather than making fixed layouts. I want re-usability, and I’m willing to

In my last crafting-related post, among the photos was a glimpse at some doors I was working on. They’re more or less finished now, though they’re… well, usable but not really what I’d hoped for. I tried to make a few variations of something akin to DM Scotty’s openable doors, but with the actual doors
Not as a-door-able as I hoped for. Read More »
I finally got the painting done on the set of dungeon tiles I started creating a couple of weeks ago. All that’s left is a coat of spray-on clear flat sealant, which will have to wait for a warmer day. There are a few areas where I need to improve my technique and a few
