Odin's beard! This is the most amazing foam modular tile system I have ever seen! 😱

@TabletopWitchCRAFT 3 года назад

Thank you Addramyr !! The versatility is insane with this system!!!

@CurseofTheVESSEL 3 года назад

I was thinking of doing something similar but this is even better. I'm actually going to retrofit some of my old cave tiles to fit this magnet system. Very smart solutions.

@TabletopWitchCRAFT 3 года назад

Awesome, sounds like the retrofit will save you some time.

@perrygrosshans8537 3 года назад

Wow! Nicely done my friend!! The one thing as a crafter youtuber I'm sure you encounter is how to make something unique. There's no shortage of dungeon tiles out there (BMC, DMs Craft, DMGinfo, Wyloch, just to name the biggies). What you've done here is definitely taken it to the NEXT level. I love it. I made a bunch of "cavern" tiles (slightly different than tiled dungeon tiles) via BMC and I love them, but I do really like the wall aspect of your build here! I know walls can be topics of contention for some crafters (it does have the problem of sometimes limiting sightlines), but sometimes you just need to get your players up out of their chairs! :D Awesome build! Really, really looking forward to the next three in this series!

@TabletopWitchCRAFT 3 года назад

Thank you Perry ! Another cool aspect of these tiles is that if you want to have the walls you can just place one on there without adding to it in height and your players can see their mini's from around the table. The height of one wall isn't that limiting!

@TabletopWitchCRAFT 2 года назад

Thank you Larissa. I would recommend making these tiles... I get a TON of use of out them. That being said you could lay your entire labyrinth out on the table and cover it in cardboard and only reveal sections as they move through! Maybe even letter sized paper over the labyrinth to make it easier to remove small sections. Good luck :)

I’ve been binging your content for the past few days and was thinking that the only thing missing with magnets was a modular tile system and low and behold here it is! Never played on anything like this (or made it for that matter) but does it slide around or does it keep together well? My pet peeve is misaligned tiles XD would putting in magnets in the side of the tiles be to much or maybe interfere with the magnets in the wall? Just wondering. Amazing work, amazing channel. Can’t wait for whatever else you have in store :)

@TabletopWitchCRAFT 3 года назад

Well thanks for watching and supporting the channel! They hold together real nice. If you want to take it one step further and add 2 magnets on each side you could play outside in a windstorm. Haha.

@raulortiz7402 3 года назад

I wonder if there's some kind of way to incorporate ball magnets into this; they would be able to attract the tiles together and would also let you snap terrain on top If I get my hands on the hot wire knife and some xps I guess I'll come back and let you guys know if it works haha

Protip: If you have a spare hot wire "blade" use a heavy duty (heavy duty, don't screw up your small wire cutters) Wire cutter to make the hot wire knife into a pen. Make sure to grind down the end unless you want a sharp edge. I'd at least round it off. 1-2" is most useful to me.

Hi Lynn, I discussed this briefly in the video. I don't think that the strength is there if you don't use two magnets to keep them together by using a washer or screw.... add that second magnet and you can place it outside in a windstorm :) These magnets really are cheap but super strong. I made this entire set for under $10 in magnets.

@mixofreak 3 года назад

Honestly, between the stage-method which Dungeon Craft does, and what you've just done, I think I have an idea how I want to do my own... If I can ever have the time and resources to do it. For the sake of additional verticality and visibility, I think half-height walls work well when in a dungeon, etc, with ways to cover up areas dungeon-fog style with arches and sheets of black paper between what they can see and not see... And then also have the half-height walls be able to work as additional height layers, steps, or flip them over for a different style altogether. In addition, with more open areas, the verticality and larger pieces put together work well as a stage without obscuring things, but even more layers might make it easier to have a single snap-in point between two magnets or post-points which can hold clear platforms for where PCs, NPCs, and monsters are climbing, etc.

@tabletop WitchCRAFT, i DM on Roll 20 and have never had the opportunity to in person.

@willsilvey6379 2 месяца назад

Do you find yourself having issues with fumes/toxic output from burning the foam? (sorry if a noob question :))

@TabletopWitchCRAFT 2 месяца назад

It's a great question. Being a big health and fitness enthusiast I set out on a journey 4 years ago to get the answers to the age old question.... Are the fumes toxic from working with foam. I checked with the manufacture, distributor, even colleges that studied the fumes for spec data for these companies... NOBODY could give me a definitive answer if they were safe... So long story short... are the fumes made of oxygen... no... So I don't want to breathe them in :) I cut all my foam under a large hood that vents directly out of my studio.

@TabletopWitchCRAFT 3 года назад

The foam that I use has a plastic sheet on the surface that must be removed before you use it. Simply peels off. Gerard from ShiftingLands (closer by you) mentioned that the foam he uses has an outer layer that he removes before he uses it. Is there a way you can shave off that layer with a Proxxon and give that a try?

Love these. You're right. The secret is really with making the walls modular.. what size magnets are you using. I have a tough time with magnets. Not only due to polarity but how small they are and being fiddley i my finger tips. You made it look a lot easier than they can be.

@TabletopWitchCRAFT 3 года назад

Thank you jimeronimo. The exact magnets can be found in the video description via the Amazon links. As far as polarity, use one craft "in this case a tile" as your standard go to, to check polarity. That way all your tiles will be interchangable.

Hi John Is there a particular reason why all of the vertical tiles are the same height? Also, is there a reason why you measure your cuts before forming the vertical tiles, instead of just eye-balling it? I think my subconscious is working on this amazing system!! 🙏💪🏻

@TabletopWitchCRAFT 2 года назад

Great questions. I made all the walls the same height because if you want variation you can just stack more on top. I suppose you could vary them though! As for the vertical tiles are you referring to the actual shape? If so that was done to keep them roughly fitting on a 1” grid.

You can magnetize the sides of the floor tiles if you split them into two piles (one for each axis of the grid) and use different polarities for each pile. Make your life simple with a tester also. Hot glue a magnet (polarity doesn't matter) to a thin strip of chipboard so you can verify the polarity of the side magnets. When finished, the floor tiles should magnetize together also.

@TabletopWitchCRAFT 3 года назад

Yeah, you can definitely do that. Now you know I love magnets, but I'm just trying to simplify things so you don't have to have stack "a" and stack "b" of tiles... Cool idea though.

The tip of the longer wire 'knife' is always cooler than the shorter one, but you could have used the length of the long one to do most of each line with one press! They're really designed for cutting using the side of the wire. The shorter ones definitely work better for carving details. A variable temperature soldering iron with a fine tip would work, but use an old tip you don't love. The biggest issue I have with my Thermocut is the less then 6" cutting height, so you couldn't use it to slice thicker foam down (I usually work with 20mm foam, which is thick enough for two tiles. So I built another one with a 12" clearance!

@@TabletopWitchCRAFT They're pretty simple to build. I built this while I was waiting for my Proxon, so it has a largeish table and plenty of space between the wire and the frame for larger pieces.

Looks awesome and usefull in homegames. A problem i find is tha you need a one inch gap between rooms and modules usually don’t have this. So you need to modify the whole dungeon.

To misquote The Bard, "Look at the verticality!". Just what we need in these times. They blend in perfectly. Great job brother! 🤘

@TabletopWitchCRAFT 3 года назад

:) Thanks. Yes!, the way the rock texture is on the walls it makes them blend perfectly when stacked.

Very multi-useful!!! There are so many cavern applications in DnD for modular cave tiles, but LMoP "Wave Echo Cave" and the Underdark came immediately to mind. Wave Echo Cave is huge in scale and this could break it down into multiple, individual session adventures! Great build!!!

Thank you Mark :) I'm glad you shared other applications for the build!

I've held off making any dungeon terrain, as I just started with the hobby and realized I really enjoy making buildings -- but this is the first dungeon/cave system I've seen that makes me actually want to make some! Thank you! I don't have a hotwire or hotwire table, but I think this may be a good enough excuse for a christmas present to myself. I'm not sure I totally understood the magnet part, but I imagine I'll figure it out once I start building. Thanks again for the idea!

@TabletopWitchCRAFT 3 года назад

You got it Rachel. I'm glad the video inspired you in some way. If you plan on going multi level I definitely suggest adding the magnets :)

I apologize if you've answered this already but, at 17:25 when you list the total number of tiles & most specifically the walls - when you refer to the inches are you referring to their height or how wide they are? For example, I'm assuming the 1" Walls are 1" wide X 6" Long. But, my ultimate question is how tall are each of those? Amazing channel btw - I'm just getting into the hobby of crafting terrain for my players and I love your videos.

@TabletopWitchCRAFT Год назад

Right on Woody, welcome to the craft. Your right, a 1" x 6" is 1 inch wide by 6 inches long. They all are a minimum of 2" tall.

Amazing video! I may even feel I inspired enough to get back into crafting. Thank you! Not to step on your dick, I know you get a kickback on the Amazon links. But anyone who is struggling with money can get XPS foam in larger quantities much cheaper at home improvement stores. Especially if you dig through and find large sheets that have been damaged. Point out the damage upon checkout and the cashier will more than likely give you a discount.

@TabletopWitchCRAFT 3 года назад

Awesome, glad to hear it Damon. Yeah I mention that about the foam too, but I also get request to post it in the videos as well.

@BlueRonin44 3 года назад

@@TabletopWitchCRAFT I'm considering doing basically what you did here but also putting magnets on the sides of the floor tiles so they would also lock together. Do you think putting them on the edge of the tile toward the corners would interfere with the wall/floor magnets?

@TabletopWitchCRAFT 3 года назад

@@BlueRonin44 No you should be fine.

@WizSquirrel 2 года назад

Made these the other day and loved how they turned out. Question tho, do you have any recommendations on how to cut the thicker foam into more manageable size? The hot foam cutter was awkward to use to remove it from the whole.

@TabletopWitchCRAFT 2 года назад

Awesome, I'm glad you like them... They are one of my most used crafts. Yeah pick up a large framing square and an OLFA knife to knock down the foam into more manageable pieces. I only use the Proxxon for small detailed cuts.

@WizSquirrel 2 года назад

@@TabletopWitchCRAFT Thanks so much for the quick reply! Wasnt sure if it the olfa would be good for that, but ill have to pick it up! Just been using cheaper utilities knives to get by.

@graynightblue 3 года назад

Where in the world do you find that thick xps foam? I can't find it anywhere in Maryland.

@TabletopWitchCRAFT 3 года назад

I get the 2” XPS from Hone Depot. The nice thing about this build is you can just glue the sheets together. You’ll never notice the glue lines with the rock texture method in this video!

@graynightblue 3 года назад

@@TabletopWitchCRAFT Oh, that's fantastic! What sort of glue would you use to glue them together?

@jefflavenau 3 года назад

Really appreciate the modularity of this and how simple you made it. If someone can cut and dry brush foam, they can do this. Very cool video.

@DOCDOCFLAMINGOS 3 года назад

I would say that you were very correct in feeling the blue foam feeling softer. As I think stuff like that have differant density options depending on what's it's being used for .

@kennethyoung141 3 года назад

The multi use and layout abilities are what you do best. The ability to go up as well makes this worth the time and effort. This would work well for the Haunted House. You amaze me .

you keep surppassing all my expectations, man. I absolutely love modular terrain and this is one of the simplest, cheapest sets I have seen and yet the results are amazing. I specially like how you did it with a hotwire knife since right now I can't affor a proxxon and was thinking if it could be usef to make good terrain. Also, you seem to really know when I'm looking for ideas, since Warcry Catacombs came out recently and I was thinkin about how to make my own terrain for it but with added verticality (wich the Warcry original game promotes and Catacombs conpletely lacks atm) and then you go and upload this. Thanks man, for the content and inspiration.

Right on. I’m glad the timing was just right for you, thanks for watching, and have fun crafting your catacombs!
