Carpenter tip. Use a framing square, place corner of square on perimeter of circle, mark where edges intersect edge of circle. Move square, do it again. Draw line from between first two points, then second line between last two points. Where the two line intersect, presto center of circle. No measuring required.

This is great! I wanted to get it going faster/less work so: Grabbed an 18" Lazy susan from Amazon for $35 www.amazon.com/gp/product/B008DCH9A6/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Had the other supplies, so can't speak to current costs: Attached it to the Lazy susan with Poster tack, coated it with Floor wax in lieu of clear glue. It was much faster to get playing, and potentially cheaper if you don't have the tools for the cutting and building of the lazy susan. photos.app.goo.gl/Q6AQFyCLf6HLSdP38 photos.app.goo.gl/7awScAkKMHQgAxp79 (camera sucks, sorry)

Spray em a gray-ish tan. Then spray lightly with black or charcoal gray, and wipe it off while still wet (so it stays in the crevices). (or reverse it, and spray it black or charcoal gray, then drybrush it's highlights gray-ish tan) Then take a toothbrush, and flick the fibers to splatter onto it some grays & greens.

Back in the '70s I didn't have continuous access to prefab sheets of materials so I used packing foam, balsa wood scraps, paper mache, hot paper clips, Q tips dipped in gasoline, magnifying glasses with sunlight... pretty much anything I could get my hands on. I was really thankful when Gordon's Hobby Lobby started carrying tons more terrain materials in the early '80s! I switched from primarily 1/35 military models and dioramas to more D&D oriented terrains in 1980. Never thought of scavenging a lazy Susan for a base though. That's pretty damned clever!

"Yvonne Craig in that Batgirl suit" Ha! When I was in grammar school, I ran home every day as fast as I could to catch Batman in hopes that it would be an episode with Batgirl and/or Julie Newmar's Catwoman.

I am so glad I found this before I started really buying terrain, the one thing holdin me back was how situational everything felt. this idea feels so much more modular.

This is a pretty awesome video! Our DM still uses the spread out tiles due to our table size being so large (he likes pretty grand dungeons and battlefields). What he has done was found a ton of old 12x12 lego tiles and cut them to whatever sizes he wants for rooms/corridors/etc. and then cut some into 1 inch squares and molded putty over them and painted it once hardened (he also has tons of spare modeling putty/clay/paint and so on) so they can be attached to the large tiles to create 5 ft squares. As we move through the dungeon he attaches more pieces on. Once an area of the map is unveiled it stays so, but we still need to factor for line of sight around corners. The lazy susan sounds like a fantastic idea though for smaller grassy area or arena encounters though!

I like this concept, it's D&D deconstructed. Perfect mashup of theatre of the mind and mini maps. It's playing outside of the square.

A fascinating video to watch at any time!

I'm new to this game and I love your tutorials. 👊🏼

Hello, everyone. Nobody asked, but I'm going to put my experiences with this on here as I go. Was out of gaming for a little while (nearly 20 years), and recently got back in, even getting my family hooked. So I'm doing this project to surprise them for our next gaming session (this Friday...and it's Tuesday). Started this on Sunday, only I went with a 2'x2' square with rounded edges, and bought an 18" lazy susan to underneath. I found that the proper tool helps, as trimming, beveling and then "cracking" the sides wasn't hard. But the stone layout...well, not so easy. Suffice it to say, not every one of the nearly 600 partial and complete squares are rounded off. I have a hot wire foam cutter, but my hands aren't steady enough to do each square without going numb (neuropathy). I did round off quite a few, and ran the borders, even 'cracked' and 'broke' a few for flavor. (Carved my wife's initials into it as well, but I doubt she'll notice.) The paint, though...no real experience with painting crafts, so my first coat was about 60-40 mod & black paint, with a tiny amount of water. This did not spread as I hoped, and the coat was, shall we say, insufficient. But the beauty of paint - let's go for coat #2! Which appears to have worked like a dream. Simple black and water, 50/50 (roughly). And it looks great! The texture comes through wonderfully, the wide channels between the tiles add a nice look, and their uneven nature (partially by design) make it seem more realistic. Thank you, Professor, for this video, even if I am 5 years late to the party! Will throw a reply onto this when I get done working on it tomorrow. (Unless there are a ton of replies that scream "NO!" in which case I'll let it go...)

@charleshenry4690

Okay, finished the dry brushing, and the black wash. Honestly, after the first coat of paint, I would've expected the Professor to give me a C+, simply due to effort. But after a few coats of black wash, along with an admitted amount of time doing touch-up after the black wash was mostly dry, I'd say it's a solid B, maybe B+. The hardest parts of this are simply not knowing what the heck I'm doing with certain things and having to learn them as I go, such as not knowing I needed to thin out the paint so it wouldn't leave any lines. Still, the gaming session is Friday night, just about 44 hours from now, and I'm quite confident that this will be done by then. Next update tomorrow, wish me luck!

Okay, all done but the polyurethane, which I wasn't sure if I could/should use oil-based poly with waterbased acrylic paint, so I'm erring on the side of caution.

The template is very good, with the only lack being what I would consider that which is for most apparently common knowledge. All in all, I'm very appreciative that the good Professor put this out here for us to consider!

I have had 3D printers for a few years now and recently got into tabletop gaming. I have been looking for good ways to incorporate printing into the game but didn't really want to print out huge caves - partially for the reason of players being able to see where they are going and because I don't have that much table space to play on. In the few games that I have DMed so far, I have drawn up maps on poster board and used printed figurines. This still allowed players to know how big the cave/dungeon would be based on how many sticky notes I used to cover the map. I can't wait to try and make one of these for myself.

As both an RPG DM, and a miniatures gamer, I agree with much of what you said, and demonstrated, in this video. Love the 1960's Batman references. I find my RPG games to be a sliding scale between full 3D terrain, a Chessex Battlemat, and complete Theater of the Mind (zero terrain); I have even gone to what I call 2.75D terrain (3mm-thick cardboard wall sections, with printed paper textures overlaying them, stuck vertically in a cross-sectioned rubber mat, to form thin walls -- not full 3D, not simple 2D). Your work here, puts another tick mark on the terrain scale, between the 2D Battlemat, and Dwarven Forge full-on 3D terrain. More options are always appreciated. Cheers!

Very nice idea and well executed. In my own games I've found that hallways and doorways are often the focus of fights, because my group and our foes tend to use tactics. I guess one monster vs a whole a party happens occasionally, but not often and even monsters usually try to avoid being surrounded. If I build one, it will need to be a bit bigger, or square, to accommodate hallways.

People are asking for a wall-making follow-up, so that will happen by April. Stay tuned.

Reminds me of Runehammer's setup. He's got a nice video on positive vs negative space.... I have no idea what he's talking about, but both methods can be used to good effect. I love your turn table effect! Will be using this on my table soon. Thanks

Lol. I had to watch that Runehammer video twice myself. But Hank's a genius. Thanks for watching!

Second note. In this use, I would hang lengths of grey yarn outdoors and dip or spray coat them several times with a shellac or varnish, cut them into different lengths, store them in an egg carton, box or cup, and lay them down to define walls.

Not a bad idea.

6:40 I like how she says, "be sure that your circles are all intersected by the lines you created." Then he *immediately proceeds* to drill the holes in a location *other* than where she showed him too.

Then when he rotates it to test it, it is definitely off center. :-)

So awesome - new summer project now :)

My god, the flex at the start was amazing.
