An historical note: not all barrels in the Middle Ages were strapped with metal. Most barrels were strapped with wood. They would use green saplings split down the center to create a kind of ridged banding that they would apply around the end of the barrel in the same place that modern metal strap and goes. Just a little detail to add variety to what you're doing.

A note as to relevance: Dungeons & Dragons is not set during the Middle Ages, nor is it typically set on Earth. We have been steadily moving away from the limitations of that esthetic for about 40 years now. Although that bit about wooden banding was interesting, it's not necessarily applicable in any official D&D setting. Please feel free to include it in your homebrew setting though, where such flavor is relegated to DM discretion. 😉

@@boinkmcbingo8890 That's cool. I started with a blend of Basic and AD&D, and am currently running a 5e campaign. My best friend and I have been playing RPGs together since 1986, his daughter, and nephew, my niece, and some of thier friends play with us now. Everyone other than me likes 5e best, so I've adapted. I have to admit, it's really grown on me. I think most of the credit for that goes to the Goodman Games Original Adventures Reincarnated series. I think I'll always love the modules from my childhood the most, and the Goodman Games books make it far less time consuming to pull in classic material to my modern, mostly 5e, campaign. What do you and your friends think of AD&D so far?

@@jacobhope6164 yeah I definitely understand why most people like 5e more it's really easy to homebrew things and make pretty balanced custom monsters and stuff, but my friends really enjoy it personally although there is a little bit more whining from some people. The reasons I like it because of how much more difficult and dangerous it is but it also allows the pcs to do alot more crazy stuff like spells and magic items are alot more powerful. Also recently we've been trying out the method where you make multiple characters, and I haven't introduced them yet but I made mine somewhat based on the fellowship of the ring. I used the witch kit for the human wizard and I have 3 halflings ones a Kender fighter using the sling kit, and the other two are thieves with a similar dynamic to frodo and sam.

Pro tip from the wargammer in me, diluted PVA with water makes a good spray sealent for things with flock on them like the gold piles. Will seal down any loose gliter and also stop any glitter catching and pulling off in future.

I've gotta say this. Your videos are timeless and specially useful not only for begginers but also broke people like myself. I've been binge watching most of your stuff, it's 2am and I have to sleep but I'm so excited to try some of this stuff in the future. I don't even play DnD that much but this just looks like it's fun to make, using it in DnD seems like a bonus.

There are always people out there just getting started with terrain crafting. I suspect a lot of them just had their minds blown. Thank you for consolidating all of these ideas into one video, Wyloch.

Affirmative 🤯 in the best way 😄

I was very happy when I discovered that taking a fine point pen and quickly hatching in some "woodgrain" or cross members before throwing on paint and wash makes a "good enough" bit of detail to these sorts of little pieces.

My favorites are the weapons racks. I could see an armory full of them. I definitely get the Baldor's Gate or Diablo feeling from them. I can even hear the looting sound effect in my mind while looking at them.

I NEVER get tired of watching this video. I don't even know how many times I've watched it. Lol

I think that display case was the first piece of terrain that I ever tried to make, before even any ruins

My brain was stuck in the first minute when I noticed your shirt!!!! I’m in disbelief!

i don’t play dungeons and dragons. i don’t play tabletop role playing games. but growing up (41 yrs old now) i did play a ton of video game RPGs. i love these videos because they bring back a lot of great memories. and not to mention everything built looks really cool.

The weapon racks were awesome. I especially liked that you kept the pieces that were broken by the hole punch. A little visual interest to give the piece a hint of story that makes the world just a little more 'lived in'.

Regarding the crates, I have had good luck with colored sharpies for the bands, rather than painting the x-frames.

You can use parchment paper to keep glue from sticking while also ensuring your bottoms are perfectly flat. Cool video.

A classic episode! This stuff is what I make when I'm trying to think of something new to make. I have boxes of this stuff now.

My children we are always impressed by your crafts! Thanks for your teachings!

Great ideas - especially love how the weapon racks turned out! The crates also look excellent and the method is super low effort - love 'em!

Treasure chests are one of those things every fantasy game needs Dnd, war games as objectives, they are always useful. Also for gold piles mixing the large glitter in modgw poge is a great move

Other forms of "treasure" scatter terrain are various single items placed on stone plinths (craft stores sell bobbin shaped wooden pieces that can easily be painted like stone). Craft gems, painted weapons, etc. fill these plinths nicely. For that matter, a lectern for valuable books can be made easily from cuts of popsicle stick and tooth picks.

I have used those store bought wood barrels, they are great and you can find them in a few sizes. I use wood stain to paint them up, I also drill a small home on top and insert a toothpick to hold onto to stain them. Then I cut the pick short to look like a cork

Looks great. A sorta peaceful atmosphere to this video. Looks like an enjoyable experience to craft this stuff. Thanks!

As you mentioned a dock district, i think a few shipwreck pieces would also be a fun crafting project considering all the different kinds of ships throughout time.

Very inspiring with the staff creativity. I like the weapons racks a lot too and am intrigued to try some that hold weapons securely without adhesive so they can be swapped.

Once you have the gold coin mound set in the glue, try covering it with clear nail polish to prevent glitter from falling off. I’ve never done it before (meaning building miniatures), but just a thought.

my wife and i are just starting to craft things for our home sessions of DnD. this is a mind blowing amount of helpful information. thank you so much for this. you've earned a new subscriber.

Awesome as always Bill... Respectful suggestion on treasure chests, easy to make, that can even function, (open & close) fishtank treasure chests! Already to scale and available inexpensively on that A to Z store. Even insert a treasure pile like you made here! Leave as is for a pirate theme or glue coffee stirrer segments on as planks for more of a medieval or dungeon look. Fun to make and look amazing! Makes awesome Mimics too!!! Thx For all you do Bill!!!

My mind was obliterated during this video. That was excellent. Such great ideas! You have a sub for life from me.

Very cool. You can also scribe panel lines on the little wood cubes before painting and drill out a barrel or two for an open top.

Very nice. As tiles go, I still go with your former concept with walls and clip ons - they're a ton of work compared to your new ones, but I do love the payoff. But dungeon dressing is universal, and I really need to sit down and make a ton more of that. So already looking forward to the furniture vid!

Again physic vibes you read my mind.... literally making same things as I text..thanks keep making more videos..basics are great.. especially little things like this make things pop!!!

The Inn with the fire crackling in Icewind Dale II is the epitome of cosy I feel.

Baldur's Gate holds a special place in my heart as well. As such, I borrow concepts for my campaigns and I plan on one day recreating a large portion of the city via 3d printing and handcrafting that my players can spend a good deal of time in.

All these quick and easy details look amazing. The staves were great. As always, love your straightforward crafting techniques.

For "Outdoor stuff" can't go wrong with a few classics - Camp site - Cross roads - River crossing - Suspicious ambush spot on a generic pathway

That twisted druid staff is brilliant! I’m definitely making myself a few of those!

Very good ideas! I have a lot of metal things with texture to do that weapons. I love that modular floors too, it s very practical and you dont have problems with walls falling while playing.

Haha! “And I am a massive nerd” Well you are not alone good sir. 😂👍🏻

Holy wow, man, those weapon racks blew my mind.

These are some great crafts, makes it seem very achievable. simplistic but very elegant

Old map paper made from canned tamale paper! Not the fresh parchment, but the stuff in the can! So for our easy dinner the other week, it got me inspired as I took the paper off all six tamales, wondering about the material, so I washed / dried the tamale paper, & then ironed them flat, Perfect stiff texture and it looks like the start of some really old maps!

So many memories of Baldur's Gate/Icewind Dale!

I am just loving this back-to-basic series. There are so many things I made years ago that don’t really fit my current standard or just stuff I never got around to making, and seeing you tackle so many classics in a short time is inspiring me to revisit these ideas to - great video :)

It's good to go back and revisit the older designs. You've advanced so much the a lot of our older staple items with newer techniques. Looking forward to the rest of your "refreshers", thanks!

Wyloch is the crafter’s crafter. There isn’t a big crafter on KZread that doesn’t reference wyloch at some point.

The Infinity Engine games were my gateway to D&D, particularly Icewind Dale. I just love how the environments at times look like interactive oil-paintings. It's also why I tend to feel drawn to games with similar environments and aesthetics.

The storage pieces are quick simple and look great.

Love your going back to the basics. I still like to make them. You have showed me a few new tricks.

dude, this staff is so amazing. im starting playing, my pnp rounds as a tabletop just recently and honestley thats exactly what i needed.

The bags were pretty cool. That was the only thing I didn't have in my own collection :) Good stuff!

I really love those little details. I bet games at your place are really fun 👍👍👍👍

This totally helped me for making my very first Tavern/Inn for my family dnd group! Thank you!

I can make whatever you wish for a _wee_ little bit more than me competition! :D

Love your STYLE, Brudder.!.!.!.! Great Content.!.!.!.!

The weapons racks look so cool, I really like it

Your videos are therapeutic! So nice!

Hard to pick a favorite! the use of washes make the scrolls and barrels look soooooo good, but since you ask. the weapon tracks and display cases. they are simple to make but have a kinda depth and variation of shape to them that draws the eye.

Thanks for the tip on barrels and crates! Picked some up tonight!

Now all of that is very interesting. Especially the weapon racks. Now I just wish I had access to a bunch of little weapons an gear to make some now. Non of my local gaming stores has something like that and most of the people I used to play 40k with don't really talk to me anymore because I haven't been back to play in a couple 2-3 years.

Smaller hole punches can also be used on thin plasticard scraps to make coins you can paint yourself

The staff rack was my favourite. Thanks for revisiting some of this stuff.

I feel the same way about Baldurs Gate. There’s certainly a feel/aesthetic that I’ve been chasing as a result.

All of these are brilliant ideas. Thanks mate.

I love picking out all of the warhammer bits that are used

I love tiny things, these seem very fun to do!

Some of us don’t have access to miniature weapons cheaply at a store. Would you ever consider doing a video on making mini weapons for a rack?

I love your techniques....I do dollhouses...not your everyday dollhouses...wizards...dragon masters...you get the idea...just want to share something with you...at Hobby Lobby they sell parchment for invitations...it makes the best scrolls ...it is inexpensive and a package last forever....thank you again!

The weapons rack was awesome!!!!

Dude Wyloch, your commentary and voice over in the last few videos has been A+! Funny, informative, entertaining. Absolutely excellent. Can’t wait for the rest of the back to basics series.

It's totally relaxing you watch you work. Thank you!!!

Always good stuff from you!

"Even if you don't use it later, you'll use it later." 😂

That glass case looks so cool!

Ah yes, my favorite magic weapon, the Power Sword!

I found some glittery Xmas hot glue that makes absolutely lovely piles of gold, silver, rubies and emeralds. Really cheap but very much only available at Xmas.

Love the video !!! That druid staff is the best.

I'm replaying Baldurs Gate 1 right now actually. It's what D&D "looks" like to me as well. I think you nail the aesthetic.

Really enjoying this series.

Hey brother! Thanks for another great and truly inspirational video! Can I offer one small suggestion?………did you say sure? AWESOME! Grab a cheap bottle of high gloss clear coat nail polish for your kit. Brush that on after you finish your glitter treasure piles. It’ll seal the glitter in and still maintain the awesome sparkling effect of the glitter. I’m traumatized from glitter after raising three daughters and had to come up with ways that I could use it in our hobby and not face the ridicule and teasing of my coworkers due glitter flakes on my clothing. Anyways! Love everything you, my wife says hi! Keep up the great work!!

I agree with Baulers Gate! SOOOOO GOOD!!

Wylock, thank you for your videos! You and the stuff you do are the true inspiration for me. And it is not only Dungens and Dragons' buildings are cozy, it is actually YOUR videos and esthetics that YOU create in it are cozy and all these things during watching them being crafted always immerse me in a quite peaceful place for a short period of time in this anxious and stressful world.

Huzzah,, you sir are a diamond. It's most amazing that you are reinventing your style. And making it more accessible to those who are coming in. Top notch sir,, well played.

These look way more complicated just at a glance than they actually are. This is some ingenious levels of crafting for cheap...I thought the weapon racks were something pre-built. Just some Popsicle sticks and tooth picks? You could crank out a bunch of those in like an hour! Not sure why you used a hole punch instead of a hand drill though...especially if it caused all that splitting! 😄

heres a trick i learned from a train hobby shop mix glue and isoprople alcohol and spray it over the flocking like the gold you did it seals it in even what didnt glue down at first

Baldur's Gate +1

I love these man, Seeing you going back to the basics is so nice and a refreshing view of thing to come from your channel. Thank you for this and all that is to come your friend Silver

Loving the weapon racks!

You know, ever since 2020 I've started working on my own tabletop RPG and again and again I lost motivation of doing so. Just when I foudn your vid though it all came back AND gave me a new hobby, I LOVE to craft stuff like you do here. And it's amazing in what amazingly cheap ways it can be done. Seriously, your creativty and showing what's possible with simplest household tools available is just massively inspiring, thank you for sharing this talent with all of us! :)

Love the original Baldur's Gate

Love your videos. When I'm in my kitchen painting things, even if I'm not making what's in your videos. I watch them cause is so much fun and relaxing. Thank you for your awesome work.

Love this! I am excited to se the rest of videos. Nice job 😁👍🏻

I was entirely unaware that those mini pickle barrels were sold. It's like someone in the crafting industry knew tabletop gamers like us needed exactly this. I need to see if any hobby stores in my area sell them. Checked the internet, and these barrels are readily available but so cheap you end up paying more for delivery than for the product itself. Not unless you buy in bulk, which isn't a bad idea either.

Hmm... I think I would use those for few "looting rooms" in the campaign I'm doing. I will place few furnitures and boxes to represent the items in room and the sacks could represent the monsters and bodies. In bottom of each lootitude is written what they could get from inside or DC for task to open it. And just for fun, few distractions like "suspicious wall" with DC 5 perception, and the success will reveal "Nothing" Each player can choose one item to loot (including item picked by another player) or keep eye for others. If player can loot without any supervision, he can pocket himself whatever he finds, otherwise they share.

Awesome video! Thanks for crafting more stuff for the dungeon! Who wants to explore “an empty room”?

When making the scrolls, you could cut two pieces of toothpick to roll from both sides to act as the dowels. May or may not work, just an idea I had while watching

I always look forward to your videos - they never fail to inspire me in my own projects. Thanks for your work!

this is beautiful! you make it look so easy!

I'm loving these back to basics videos! Keep them coming Wyloch 😁👍

Cool projects to be sure. Thanks for sharing!

Bill, I love the new style, absolutely amazing! I have a feeling that the upcoming project that you have planned is going to be epic!

Amazing work as always!

Wylock Armory is basically simplicity but amazing results. really enjoy each video

The weapons are fantastic! Great vid! (which I'll now share)
