I could just imagine the frustration when somebody's char, god forbid, died and they hit the table sending the pieces everywhere. it would be a nightmare and it would take forever to set everything back up again.
@CaptCamping - its alot more than that :) A big setup like the one they showed could run upwards of 600-800 dollars...
Great idea, but TOTALLY not worth that kind of money.. I cast my own from my own sculptures. If anyone is interested in buying A LOT cheaper, let me know ;)
@snipa66 Look for D&D Encounters on the official site. They have store locatior, just put in your zipcode and it'll give you a list. You'll be pleasantly surprised at how many places there are for you to play in.
@snipa66 I started out just recently myself, and really what I found out was you only need the rules compendium book. For 10 bucks you can sub for a month to D&D insider and use their official character builder and you're good to go. Should cost you a total for 27bucks I think.
Ya know, no matter how cool it is, i think that miniatures/modular terrain seriously impact the "imaginative" process of D&D compared to someone using pen and paper D&D. Not saying i don't think that it's very awesome and incredible, but it just seems rather "superficial".
@bud389 Nah, I use maps, models as well as hand-drawn and all are good for different things. When you want the feeling of awe and to make something feel special - you use a map or a model. When you want things to be more vacuous and flexible - you go for the hand-drawn on graph paper or vinyl mat.
i went to the site, and added up and estimated that this whole board you see in the video would cost anywhere from 800-1200 US dollars. the cavernous lake pieces are what really get you on the cost.
@xxelaxela333 Indeed , While it Is expensive , it is hand crafted not Factory made , meaning more time , carefull creation , hand painting , And its not built with cheap plastic, If you think about it YES it does take a long time to save the money to buy a decent amount of sets for a good large dungeon , However its a fair deal with the amount of work put into it.
@noobyman333 Yeah they look nice, but personally I have to say I love WorldworkS. Their sets look great, are nice and cheap, especially if you have a laser printer, and are entirely modular and reuseable
this is sweet but honestly i would never take d7d this far just use graph paper for the original dungeon then re draw it as you go thats your best bet
You don't need to spend this kind of fortune for game terrain. Anyone with any creativity can go to Home Depot and spend $50 to make something amazing. This is sweet...but overkill that no one can afford
Dwarven forge- worlds most expensive mineture terrain just what they showed in tthe video is more than 300$. I mean I understand, they being hand painted and stuff but im not sure its worth the cost in my opinion
of course you can use this for 40k but it is more for smaller matches... under 1000 points or so. You can create scenarios for this battlefield like a rescue mission. the problem is, a playground like that one in the video is very expensive and you have a mesure range on the table, because every square is exactly one inch.
This feels like something your DM would pull out for a session that you knew would last well into the night, the big climactic encounter with the Lich you've been tracking down since you first set foot in town. The thing is, while they add a lot of flavour to the game, playing on a simple wet-erase mat that you use to determine combat and marching order speeds things along, and is much better for the small games played crowded around one or two tables jammed together.
Very awesome! I'd love to be able to use this in my DnD sessions, but sadly all my players and I are poor-ass college students, so we're stuck drawing out squares on notebook paper. It's great to see you guys being able to do this, do. Keep up the great work.
Reminds me of playing a game of D&D at uni years ago. Our party walked into a tavern which the GM lovingly set up using something similar, but made from plastic and cardboard. When he finished he described the scene to us. I said "I don't like the look of this tavern, lets try the one up the street". The party agreed, and the GM actually took it all down again and built an entirely new tavern for the new scene. :) I actually felt sorry for doing that to him in the end, but it was very funny.
The cool thing about DF Miniature terrain is that it becomes a family heirloom that your grandkids will someday use to excite their imaginations. A huge $1,000 DF setup used for 100 years runs about $1/month plus it binds generations of a family together with a shared experience. Electronic gaming is fun, but because of its very nature it is a much more transitory experience that lacks any long-term resonance. How many of us want to re-play our Pong games from just 25 years ago?
But don't get me wrong, your stuff looks awsome and I would prolly be lier if I said I wouldn't want some smaller model of it. (tho I prolly would feel somewhat embarrest)
The Hirst pieces you get your moneys worth, but you have to make and paint them yourself. If you have the money for the pieces from Dwarven Forge, they are awesome! I havewnt decided which way to go yet. The DF pieces would be faster, but you can get more from the Hirst pieces.
Fantastic set up. Hey guys this is Whitewind you did great with this vid, hope it shows a wider audience what can be done with this ever increasing line of hard core terrain. Bravo.
