blargney Posted November 21, 2020 Share Posted November 21, 2020 I've reached my saturation point with the uninspiring top-down view of the virtual tabletop. So this week I built and painted a bunch of dungeon tiles and terrain features. I'll mount my phone on a tripod and give it its own discord account, then stream the map directly into our video chat. Trial run is tonight. Fingers crossed! If this goes well, I'll keep adding to the set over time. That cheering you can hear in the background is my little plastic homies who've been in lockdown for 8 months. 13 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blargney Posted November 24, 2020 Author Share Posted November 24, 2020 For the floor tiles, I used a fine grain particle board attached with DAP caulking to dollar store foamcore that I stripped of its paper. The arches, stairs, and pillars were 1/2” extruded polystyrene attached to the particle board. I've got it all sitting on a 4' x 3' sheet of cheap black neoprene. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SotF Posted December 1, 2020 Share Posted December 1, 2020 Since it seems that you're going for the more isometric look, you might be interested in DM Scotty's tilescapes facades and some of the DMGinfo stuff that he's working on now. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
