DUNGEON PILLARS Revisited!

DUNGEON PILLARS Revisited!

Hey gang,

If you enjoyed the last video where I went back and remade my old dungeon tiles, you are sure to like this one. I did the same thing but with the classic dungeon pillars project.

Once again, the are the same....but not. Personally I love the way the turned out and am quite pleased with some of the techniques I used this time around to make the build a lot faster and less ...

BASIC DUNGEON TILES...revisited! 2023

BASIC DUNGEON TILES...revisited! 2023

Hi everyone,

Got a case of the Mondays? Well I got a new video up to help you through the day (those emails can wait).

I went totally old school BMC here, as old school as I could go, and remade my classic 3x3 foam dungeon tiles.

It was super fun to go back at this classic project with a more experienced set of eyes and skill sets. It was interesting where I did things diff...

FINALLY! a New Video!

FINALLY! a New Video!

Hey everyone,

Hope you are doing swell. I know it's been a while and the channel has been dry the last few weeks. With the holiday season, a family vacation, friend's wedding, and the insane amount of work involved in wrapping up Idols of Torment I have been BUSY. But I'm back!

During my downtime I spent a fair bit of time reflecting on how the hobby corner of YouTube has changed o...

NEW VIDEO (and some you may have missed!)

Hi everyone, hope you're doing well. Today a new video is up on the channel exploring an idea I thought would be pretty straight forward but turned into a bit of a complicated learning excercise. Still ended up with something I think is pretty neat in the end.

As I post this I realize that for some reason the last few videos havn't been posted here. I know at least one was missed just du...

NEW VIDEO: Vampire DM Screen or He-Man Playset?

I started out making a vampire themed castle entrance and ended up with something that is also a DM screen, a dice rolling tray, AND a He-Man playset!

This is a rad project, so cool. I love it. Great use of scrap foam and halloween decorations. I don't think I've ever sculpted a foam wall quite like this before, but I'm gonna have to do it again in the future because it looks great.

NEW VIDEO: Let's make some SPOOKY Trees!

Hi everyone,

Fall has begun (at least up here where I am) and spooky season is in full force. This week I got back to some good old foam crafting for D&D and made some fun spooky tree stumps from scratch, just in time for a creepy Halloween adventure.

This technique would also be great for people making Halloween villages or Haunters. I'm really happy with how these came out. View Post

Hi everyone, hope you are all well.

Sorry for the radio silence here and on YouTube as of late. I'm sure most of you know I am in the final days of preparing Idols of Torment for the Kickstarter launch. It's been an incredible amount of work, but we are close to the finish line.

The Kickstarter will launch September 13th. That's just one week from today! I am beyond excited, but al...

Hey everyone,

Hope you're doing better than I have been. Finally got hit with the ol Coronavirus, and it knocked me out pretty bad for the better part of two weeks.

I didn't let it stop me from hobbying or from making a video though. I still managed to do something pretty cool.

Check it out!....I'm going back to bed now.

Hey everyone,

Happy Friday! What if you could only have ONE tile? One tile to rule them all! Well it would have to be pretty damned  special to cover all your gaming needs.

I think I've come close with this one. Perfect for small spaces, lack of storage, and mobile DMing.

Really happy with how this turned out, and it was a really straightforward fun oldschool style proj...

Hey gang,

While making a recent set of scatter terrain I realized that I've essentially reduced this task to a few key elements in order to do it as efficiently as possible AND get awesome results every time.

I'm surprised just how simple it is when I look at it like this. Considering how useful and impactful a set of scatter terrain can be, there is no reason not to be pumping ou...

NEW VIDEO: THE TRUTH ABOUT 3D PRINTING

Hey Friends,

Hope everyone has been having a great week! I've been busy developing all the miniatures for Idols of Torment. There is going to be 72 digital player minis available in addition the the Lost models I've already revealed. This means I've been doing a LOT more 3D printing than usual in the background. I also got a new printer to test out and hopefully improve my process.

Hey everyone, 

Hope you had a great weekend. Here's something to help you get over that case of the Mondays.

I am by no means the first person to do this sort of thing, but I think I came at it with a unique perspective and solved some of the things I think people often get wrong when doing this.

It's not only an easy way to spice up a game and wow your players, it can...

NEW VIDEO: the Bridge! An epic modular hellish build!

Hey everyone, hope you are having a wonderful weekend.

This week I released a video for a project that was very special to me AND that I think you'll find is quite cool.

If you missed the video I highly suggest checking it out. It's yet another piece for my IDOLS of TORMENT setting, and is easily the most epic yet!

I can't want to see some games on it.

Cheers

Hey everyone,

If you are in the mood for an old school BMC style project, I've got just the thing with today's video. Using a block of foam and some craft paint I created a great looking set of modular jungle temple ruins.

This is a perfect beginner project or a nice one for a veteran to bang out easily.

Check it out!

Cheers

NEW VIDEO: Rethink how you build TERRAIN

Hey everyone,

Hope your week is going swell. I just completed an interesting build that was completely unplanned and ended up with an element of floating (kind of) terrain. This was the result of just wanting to make something different for my game, and not being worried about thinking outside the box.

What crazy builds are you working on?

Cheers

Hey everyone,

Hope your week is going swell. I've been working a lot on pretty dark stuff for Idols of Torment lately, and am currently "enjoying" the beginnings of the worst blizzard we've had in 25 years.

I needed a creative palette cleanser to offset all the creepy dark stuff I've been immersed in, and something to satiate my desire for spring.

I made what is probably the...

This video was an absolute honour to be asked to do. This game has been a huge influence on me in all sorts of ways. I am completely in love with the vibe and aesthetic. I was thrilled to find out it was getting minis and even more thrilled to get a chance to make some terrain for it.

What an absolute blast!

Hey gang,

Thankfully my back is on the mend which meant I could spend some solid time in the shop building something. It also meant I could actually sit to edit a video. This one was really fun and used some fun little natural bits that I recently added to my collection.

Phew.....what a project this was. Some serious ups and downs, the biggest of which was starting by breaking the screen on my 3d printer. So I was left with printed parts with a bunch of failures, and a useless printer so no way to redo the model. But did that stop me? Absolutely not!

When life gives you print failures and a broken tool you make bad ass terrain!

Hey gang,

There are so many other architectural styles to explore which will make things look more interesting and be a lot more fulfilling and exciting to build. And we can make interesting buildi...

Hey everyone,

This week I reflect on all the different things that I was once reluctant to try, and how silly I was for doing that. In the process I built a really cool display diorama to remind me of this. 

This isn't an early viewing, I'm posting it here at the same time it's live to the public. For the last several weeks I've been having some issues on the backend of youtube...

Hey Gang,


Just a heads up that I won’t be dropping an early viewing here of tomorrow’s video like I normally do. This one is a timed launch for a really cool project with Loot. This video is a pretty epic build so I promise it will be worth the little extra wait.
