Thanks. I really need to make a small room next to this one that has silk sacks in it full of baby spiders. Maybe I could use cotton balls....

My players would torch that web. At which point I would inform them of a sweet young Innocent trapped in the web, who would likely fall to their death, assuming they survived the fire... >;-). Cheers!

I like that technique for making webbed flooring, I might make a few of varying sizes to drop wherever spiders abound...

Very nice, both the walk through and especially the end product.

Thanks. I really need to make a small room next to this one that has silk sacks in it full of baby spiders. Maybe I could use cotton balls.... Well, it only took a year, but I finally did it. Here is the next section of cave... the spider lair. This is how I would present the tile to the players. If the fight with the "big spider" on the web went well, they may enter this tile in 'explorer' mode and have a look around. It's a dark dirty cavern with loose rocks underfoot and a huge natural stone column stretching to the ceiling 40' overhead. Assuming they have a light, they will see a skeleton on the floor. They may also hear [listen check] a muffled noise coming from the back wall. Entering the room a bit, to investigate the skeleton or the noise will bring the spider sack near the ladder into view, and if they look up, they will also be able to see the spider sack hanging overhead (which was blocked by the stone column when entering the room. The stone column was given to me by tauster, and I thought it would be perfect for this. I added a piece of soda straw to the top, covered the outside with hot glue to blend it into the existing shape of the column and then painted to match. I then took a thin cardboard tube and added some hot glue texturing and paint to continue the column. The spider sacks are just cotton balls with some PVA glue/water. I used a couple strand of fishing line to hang the spider sack. When it is time to reveal the spider sack, just drop the base of the cardboad tube in the straw hole and you are good to go. The muffled noises are from this poor chap. He is just a Damage HeroClix on a DMG style wall segment with cotton ball PVA glue/water.

Awesome encounter! These spider sacks are so cool... I mean, they're kinda the obvious thing to do, there's probably nothing complicated in making them and they are definitely not difficult to come up with... but you're the first to do them this way, at least to my knowledge. In hindsight, doing a thing right seems obvivous - but sometimes it takes damn long until someone actually does it right. Also, very cool idea with the guy webbed in. Love that! Of course, if he's alive AND if he's going to go with the party, you might need a second identical mini or you'd have to destroy the thing. ...or find a clever way to unfasten the mini from the whole web. Btw: When I saw the stalagmite, I didn't realize that it was from me. However my first thought was 'that's exactly the way I would have done that stalagmite!' ...then I saw the lichen and it began to dawn on me.

going to sound like a broken record.... truly amazing and epic. You have to buy another bottle of awesome sauce because those tiles are dripping with it

Thanks guys! The HeroClix in the web is only $0.35 on Miniature Market and I have 8 more of him (there is something about a screaming miniature that I find extremely useful). I love to terrorize players.... and to me, a spider overhead is more terrorizing than a spider in front of you. :Evil laugh:

Anyone who has been in the shower and seen the spider overhead understands this. ...or the front half of a mouse that your cat deposited on your doorstep and on which you stepped on, unknowingly, just with your slippers on. Just saying. Happened to me an hour ago. Momentarily undecided which is worse: The crawling spider overhead or the mouse innards underneath. Sorry for hijacking.

I am so jealous of your and others ability to actually present a tutorial that is concise and well photographed. My charlie brown attempts are sadly no where near this sort of thing. I usually start off okay but just keep building and by the time I realize it I am almost done with the project.

im in the same boat, hence why im more of a shower of stuff then a tutorial making guy. but you could do one thing though, instead of photos, put a camera up beside you. and just film and talk as you go. makes for long video but at least people can see it coming along. but whatever you do, dont make your stuff with timelapse... it goes way too fast. i did this doing my sarcophaguses and the one i did in front of the camera in a timelapse was like 5 seconds and it was built, and that was with like 1 frame each 10 seconds.
so advice, dont use time lapse. just film yourself and speed it up yourself on post production.
