I had a dream. And it was to create a crazy, complicated floating island battle stage.
This video is more of a showcase of what's possible with terrain building. It's also a love letter to all my engineering-oriented crafters; to those who are curious about the limits of their creative potential; to fans of Dimension 20; and to those who have had the privilege of experiencing a fully fleshed campaign--this video is for you!

Hello! My kids and I love watching miniature creating videos, and we follow Studson Studios, Boylei Hobby Time and North of the Border (though my kids only ever refer to his channel as Tiny Nerdy Things). They're all great, but I was very aware that they're all guys, and I have a 9 year old daughter. We just watched this one, which popped up in my recommended feed, and then your Mesa one, and we loved both! Happy new subscriber! Thanks for producing these!

This was dope as hell and I'm sure your finale was as epic and memorable as your terrain. I think anyone would be lucky to have you as their DM. Also I do really appreciate your puns/wordplay but I'm ngl this was the first time I watched an episode and genuinely didn't know what you were trying to say because of the puns. Still really appreciate the video :]

Thank you for both the compliments and the feedback! I'm trying to find a balance between having fun with the puns and legit comprehension, and even in writing I felt some of the strain 😅 So I will definitely keep this in mind for future videos!

@Khether0001 Месяц назад

I also subscribe to the idea of not being afraid of giving your players huge rewards, like a *Flying Citadel* as a base, just plan your stories with that in mind afterwards! They still need to protect it from eventual attacks and they get to improve on it over time to the point it becomes a (very) cherished character itself, reusability on top of it is a great reason for building a wonderful diorama like that! =) Everything looks absolutely incredible and profoundly inspirational, Rae'chel! Congratulations!!! ^^

@raecheldoes Месяц назад

Aah that's a great way to both tie a battle set into a narrative and use it to inspire the narrative! And there's something appealing about the idea of returning to the same stage with updates that reflect their growing relationship with the setting haha. Thank you for the compliments and thoughtful comment!

@DarthCool99 23 дня назад

@Stray_GM Месяц назад

So this video kind of came at the perfect time. I'm currently building the finale of my 2 year long campaign as well! I'm making an entire segment of the city my players have lived in and they'll protect it during a siege from the 3rd BBEG. And now I'm going to steal your idea. An insane second act with floating islands will appear when the original BBEG who has been defeated returns. Thank you for this video!!

@raecheldoes Месяц назад

Aaahhhh that sounds so sweet! I'm a huge fan of surprise-phase-2 parts of encounters, especially when it elevates the experience at the table. I'm sure your players are going to absolutely love it!

@Aewynn98 6 дней назад

Not sure how I missed this video. This looks amazing! I did a floating island "dream sequence" battle similar to this.. Obviously I did not think of doing the island that splits apart. I do love the concept though. Very very well done..

This is awesome! I've been planning a Brikwars (essentially Lego Warhammer) game in Hell for some time now and had no idea how to make a battlefield. I was planning to do something with a bunch of floating islands à la Doom 3&4 - basically something very similar to your board. Had no idea how to make something like that, but this may help ^^

@lexibyday9504 Месяц назад

I've long wanted to make a mechanically "randomising" dungeon where you turn a crank at the end of your turn and everything moves around and now the path you were taking is no longer going to lead anywhere and you have to decide on whether you should go back knowing that you might just run into another dead end in that direction or continue forward into the dead end hoping its open again when you reach it. There'd also be switches around the dungeon and the right combination would create a path to the end that doesn't change.

@raecheldoes Месяц назад

Ah I've seen a one-shot or a written encounter that reminds me of this! It would be absolutely crazy to actually make! ....but now I want to LOL.

@knightnday10 Месяц назад

That was extraordinary. I am continually amazed not only by the creations but the creativity that goes into these projects. My only question is: how do you store all these various projects and pieces? Thank you for another wonderful video.

@raecheldoes Месяц назад

Thank you, thank you! Honestly, this piece has been the absolute hardest to store haha, so I keep it as a focal display piece/as a stage to showcase some minis. The modular pieces are easy enough to store vertically in boxes, and the grass pieces I store on metal shelves so they can be store vertically and spaced apart.

@terrainaholic Месяц назад

I did a whole table of floating lava islands terrain. Well if you count my airship race in hell I did 2 tables plus a city to go on top. Plastic chains are really light and make it easy to keep the build more stable. If you keep it modular its easy to store and reuse in a TON of different set ups. I just used it for a game of cultists vs demons. I want to do a build with my sucubus palace as a center piece around all the islands but I don't want to see up a 6 for by 18 foot table again. I bought a bolt of fire looking cloth to cover it. Some day I'll do it. Glad you have that go for it attitude!!!

@raecheldoes Месяц назад

That sounds like an incredible set up and along the similar lines of really going all out creativity-wise! Your players must've LOVED it.

@allgreatfictions Месяц назад

This is so insane! I'd love to see your take on something like the slowly "sinking" terrain of the Crown of Candy yoghurt shoals battle. How did you handle the reassembly at the table with your players? Did you ask them to leave the room for a minute, or did you do it in front of them?

@raecheldoes Месяц назад

I've honestly had thoughts about other dynamic terrain like something slowly rising or sinking! And for the reassembly, I narrated the transition and then called an intermission and reassembled it with them in the room! It was a cool experience letting them see the work I put in and for them to start speculating their battle tactics as I was putting it together haha.

Thank you very much! When we ended phase one, I narrated the changes to their environment, and then declared we would take a 15min intermission so that I could set up for the next phase and then changed the battlefield in front of them. It was hugely rewarding to allow them to see the process because I think it also helped them see the work that went into it, which helped feed the little validation-seeking fairy in my brain haha.
