Sharkbelly Posted November 27, 2016 Share Posted November 27, 2016 I tried my hand at making some simple dungeon tiles. They are made from a material similar to foam core, but without the paper. The pieces are cut to size, scored with a pen, and then rolled with a wad of aluminum foil to add texture. The tiles had a tendency to curl because of the scoring, so I glued each one to another unscored piece. The pieces were then primed and given two highlights. All in all, I think they turned out really well. The project cost less that $15 and only took a few hours. Here is an action shot. 17 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

malefactus Posted November 27, 2016 Share Posted November 27, 2016 That does make an attractive looking dungeon...somehow attractive & dungeon don't seem comfortable with each other. It looks SO MUCH better than the sticks method my erstwhile friend, Bob, used for our Dungeons. A SPLENDID IDEA, VERY NICELY DONE! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leader of the Rats Posted November 27, 2016 Share Posted November 27, 2016 You can do this with foamcore too. You just use steam or hot water in the shower to wet one side of the sheet and the paper part peels right off. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I definitely think I'll make a bunch more and have a whole variety--enough to make a bunch of different dungeons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

haldir Posted November 27, 2016 Share Posted November 27, 2016 Greyboard reminds of the old "Astrogranite" turf that came in a older edition of Blood Bowl. Now that I bring that up kinda wish I would have kept mine....... Awesome work on that one!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
malefactus Posted November 27, 2016 Share Posted November 27, 2016 Fan Fold Insulation Foam is another alternative. It has a film over it that peels away easily...it makes attractive parchment for scrolls & such: ...this is 3/16" X 2' X 4'. I figure there were about 30 sheets to it when I bought it...it was under $10 for the bundle. Another plus is it has a nice texture to it.

Darkmeer Posted November 27, 2016 Share Posted November 27, 2016 You can do this with foamcore too. You just use steam or hot water in the shower to wet one side of the sheet and the paper part peels right off. Or use Dollar Tree foam core, the paper just peels off, the adhesive isn't as strong. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lorathorn Posted November 28, 2016 Share Posted November 28, 2016 Well done! I swear though, this hobby is trying to turn us into some kind of craftspersons/carpenters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharkbelly Posted November 28, 2016 Author Share Posted November 28, 2016 Agreed. Not that I mind! There are some really creative DMs out there. https://www.youtube.com/user/theDMsCraft https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCJLqz6kcB1gMPiVnL0XfUDg 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
