How to Craft Underdark Tiles for Dungeons & Dragons 

I think that the purple/magenta dabs add a little bit of fairy tale feel. like some kind of magic grotto where dangerous archfeys would dwell. I would experiment with various colours to see the effect!

Wonderful colour scheme my dude. Always trust that last minute gut feeling!

Awesome, I actually think the pink spots gives a nice variation on the overall space, since they stay scarce, but they do break the uniformity of the whole set in a nice way. Always love your tutorials, I remember my first major work as a crafter were over 64 Wyloch tiles, but I backed them with magnets back then to be set on a large metal sheet set on the gametable, you hadn't invented the intelocking system yet...But since you've come up with the interlock system I've wanted to upgrade my old tiles to the new system. For caverns and underdark I usually go with modular walls set on top of some kind of battlemat since I play gridless but I still find tiles very useful for corridors or dungeons. I'll upgrade my old tiles as soon as I get a little fee time...thanks for the tutorial!

Love how you ONLY did '17' tries on your paint job and still couldn't resist one more... As always fantastic video. Thank you for all the considerable effort you put into developing your building systems!

watching these videos is so relaxing. You're my fav tabletop crafter on youtube for sure! You put so much more effort into your projects than some others that I watch

Wait...is that...penne pasta?! Are you literally making macaroni art look cool?!?! Lol. Like I said, cant wait for the scatter terrain video!

Youre crazy. The purple looks perfect. Its a beautiful example of "less is more". As always amazing craft.

You should have called the cardboard lock system wyLock

This is awesome! Loved the color choices too

Awesome! Cant wait to see the videos for that scatter terrain!! Those mushrooms look amazing.

Great video! The colour scheme is really cool, beautiful to look at.

Another excellent tutorial by an excellent mentor. I love that color scheme!!

Seeing this awesome tutorial, I really wish I had started tabletop! It certainly looks like funand the love and details are really cool!

this work is stunning :o such simple steps, but your execution and the cohesiveness between pieces is stellar

Genius work as always!!! I'm really looking forward to seeing the scatter terrain tutorial!

Loving the blues and turquoises. The purpley-pink works!

WOW! A new Wylock crafting vid! Very cool! I think the pink actually works! Looking forward to the scatter terrain vid!

This was a fantastic video on how to make tiles in general. I think it turned out great. Keep up the good work

Another gem of a video - thankyou! oh and you made me laugh for the first time ever too! bonus feature! LOL - cant wait to try this out and very much looking forward to the scatter terrain tutorial already (im already searching the kitchen cupboards for dry pasta tubes!)

Really great tutorial! Thanks for sharing this neat system.

Totally dig it! The purple is a nice touch that integrates the walls and scatter beautifully.

I like how encouraging you are "You'll quickly get the hang of know exactly how much glue to use!"

Great video, man! Your creativity continues to inspire!

so glad I found this channel, i'm learning a little more about better dungeon design.

Great video, and amazing tiles. I loved the bright pink/purple color. Also love the use of the pasts the way you did. Can't wait for the scatter terrain video

Good to see more solid terrain magic coming out. The tiles proper are solid and what I'd expect as is the high quality of the video and explanation. The surprize is the paint scheme, which is quite different than usual and is spectacular. Well done!

The pink looks fine once it's spread out over a few tiles. I think you got the balance just right in the end. Green as you say, would have overwhelmed it - but green on your scatter would work. Great looking set of tiles!

Thank you so much!! Starting my first DnD and been going though so many different videos on how to do custom tiles and yours is by far the best and most unique way ive see I love it!

Must resist the urge to redo all my tiles with a locking system ...must ...resist ;) Seriously though ...great stuff (as always).

Nice with a little effort you can make a interesting under dark dungeon! Love the colors you picked !

Super job Bill and the short walls make the game much more visual. I don't even mind not having any wall at times if the players understand it's "implied." Love the effects you create and awesome job!

I love the variant take on your cave system. The torn cork squares make a big style difference. Already thinking about how to simulate that look in sculpture for 3D printing. And for what my opinion is worth, the color choices in this rock. The pink splashes add just the right touch of weird phosphorescence variation.

I really love your projects !!!

Great video as always. I am going to try and use this with underwater variation.

man those cork pieces come out real nice boxed up like that... real cool

Love this, I have to make. Batch for my home game immediately

the madness..... metric and standard in one video... and 3/4" walls to boot! High insanity this one has.... yes!!!

I like the magenta splashes, especially with the mushrooms, the colors really tie the scheme together.

Always a pleasure to see a new Wyloch video. Classy stuff, good color combination. And on-camera, the purple kind of punctuated the look. I don't think it was that busy. Good looking tiles, here.

Excellent video, I decided to try and make some. Two days later and I have 64 tiles. Like you said, mostly corners, some walls, and only a few field tiles. Thank you.

As always looking great Master Wyloch :D

very nice. you got yourself a new subscriber form me. I always love the awesome ideas people come up with

Very well thought out. You actually covered my questions from the locking tabs video in this one. I would absolutely LOVE to see what this would look like with a handful of fluorescent black lights in the room and minimal white light. I think your custom tiles would be positively breathtaking. ..and I think you'd fall in love with that fluorescent pink. ;) You might give some tips in a future vid for making crevasses, trellis's, bridges and etc, :) I was thinking that an occasional round (oval) hole or wall in the flooring, as well as an occasional collapsed wall / rubble might add some character.

I love the tab connections

god i love this channel so much

Awesome border colors -- looks all glow-ie (that's a real word somewhere). That's my favorite feature!

Amazingly awesome and absolutely gorgeous! Me love it

Glorious Environs - thanks!!

With this video: I discovered you, the 1.25" grid system, the WyLock (Cardboardlock) system, and finally decided it's time to make some terrain. This was a great video!

Setting these up with a Blacklight would look phenomenal! Nice tiles sir!

"It's fine, I love it. It's done"... ... ... :D Subscribed!

They are awesome!

Nicely done! I am a fan of the purple! I creates a nice contrast to the blue palette :-)

The purple does give a little kick, I like the addition of the purple the way you did it.

I love the colors you used. I know you said you weren't fond of the purple/magenta, but I think it adds a perfect contrast.

Great tutorial, posible to do at home!!! thank you very much

These look great

Learned so much from watching you. I went rouge used rustoleum gray primer (like a dumb ass) and melted down the top layer in a few parts on top of this decaying castle that leads into a sewer I've been working on. I've used testors paint for now. I like testors silver paint. So for the piping system I used toilet paper tubes cut them, widened them out a little bit amp painted them silver. Looks like a decent pipe for a sewer. I added a mixture of orange, red, a drop of gold paint and gravel dust in sposts for a rust effect. Looks nice.

SUPER AWESOME VIDEO!!! WE HAVE A HOBBY LOBBY THAT JUST OPENED UP BY ME AND I AM GOING SHOPPING. CHEERS!!

Fantastic! Thinking the purple is needed. However it does come across as pink on my screen... could be me. Still looks fantastic. Enjoy the adventure and thanks for adding to mine.

Cardboard lock is life! I don’t even play rpg’s but i want to make a huge set of these just because they’re f’n cool

This is amazing! New subscriber!

Brilliant!

Wow! My new favorite channel! And I thought the pink/purple looks great... :)

Brother, I've been scouring pinterest thinking about a good underdark tile scheme. Rockstar!

Always a treasure, Wyloch! :)

You killed it.

Crazy. Bravo

Very cool. I like that I could basically do this with cardboard.

I dig the purple 👍

Nice work, very inventive and not hard to do either.

I've always been a little against the interlocking tile system and the short walls don't really do it for me. But damn this video has convinced me that I need to do it! 👍👌 Great vid

Great Tiles! I know you don't normally do campaign diary videos, but, I for one would be curious to hear how your OotA game is going as you proceed. Just a thought ... :-)

I thought you had used glow in the dark paint for a second. Great job.

so time consuming yet so rewarding

Love your videos, been watching them for a while now. I recently got back into playing D&D and am itching to make some tile sets for my group. Did you do a video about your tile storage trays?

i like your noodle tubes.

Almost has a DMG inspiration feel to it but has DM scotty overtones. But chipboard to link the projects... That is a new one but love the results versus double cardboard or corkboard all around.

fantastic

Would love to see these in TrueTiles.

nice color scheme

Great build. I would like to know how you designed your storage container for these tiles as well.

I definitely like this better than the cave tiles. Though I like a three inch tile base and one inch tall walls.

I like to see how you do sci-fi tiles! Or postapocaliptic tiles!

They look great, Bill. I like the color scheme. I'm now wondering if this tab system shouldn't be THE default for all tiles. Everything.

Really nice :)

These turned out looking really good, but something I have done in the past for cave tiles is to not change the base-shape of a tile. This allows you to use the the "outside" of a corner to bulge into a room instead of out if you'd like. This also lets you have more chambers in a smaller table-area by having two of them share the wall. The pink/blue reminds me of the "bi lighting" trend that's popped up in youtube videos.

To be honest, the pink/ purple is Nice. Even a different green or yellow on random walls, (as in 2/3 per SET, total) in a streak would fill it out more naturally

I love the modular tiles, especially the underdark. I have been reading the Salvatore novels for many years. I'm wondering if it possible to use the cork when making regular straight walls and 90 corners? I like the look of the cork better than the 1 1/8 on top of 1 1/4 from your original crafting EPs. Is it possible to make the straight calls without cutting the tiles to fit in the remaining space? Maybe 1" square cork would leave room for the walls on the edges?

I love your tile lock system. As a matter of fact, your work is just lovely, practical, and looks great when assembled. Many thanks for sharing it. I have a question, since you have such great experience assembling tiles for D&D games. What is the best grid system in your perspective? I've seen people using hexagon grids, and that makes me wonder. What about bases for miniatures? Should I use squares too, or make it easier on narrow tiles, by using round bases? Square bases seem better to make groups of enemies, no?

i fricken love those mushrooms! how to make theem in the next vid please!

These look so good. I wonder - if you substituted bright red and orange and yellow for light blue, would the same approach work for somewhere volcanic or infernal? (Might be good to make the main surface of each tile near-black, too, and paint the base layer in the lava colours as well as the tile edges). This just in - somebody's done it and posted on reddit! (Link doesn't come through well - try searching Wyloch lava tiles reddit.)

I love this tutorial! How could we change it for the new avernus release? What color scheme would work for the first layer of hell?!

I like the purple accents.

lol i could smell the hotglue threw the screen reminds me of sitting at home with a bag of assorted popsicle sticks and toothpicks and making pirate ships with them and lots of hot glue

actually I really like the purple, it breaks up all the blue just enough to be interesting but not so much it stands out. I honestly wouldn't have noticed it if you didn't point it out

😂😂😂 should i add the blue highlight? Nah its perfect... ok lets do it! I have been there. Nice work!

LOL at 12:45. I feel your pain.

I feel like a blue wash would help tone down that bright pinky purple down to a perfect tone

Have you ever tried caulking(they sell all sorts and colors) in place of the hot glue on the cave walls? Feel it would give you more time to adjust or correct any part that didnt pan out well
