You sir have inspired me to create a dungeon using some of your techniques. My only issue is with the flooring. I have thought of all sorts of ideas to do it. I was going to use cork tiles stamped with paint but I felt the 3D effect would suffer. Then I thought of making huge sheets of hand carved foam core. Then I came to my senses! Lol! I have two huge cobblestone LEMAX mats but I was wondering about going down. Things in the floor like pits and traps and well features you find on a floor! lol Any ideas? I suppose I could just buy another mat and cut it up to match the floor but...expensive!

I'd say you could always use a board with printed floortiles might work cheaper, I see how expensive textured paper is elsewhere, and seems like its a luxury (not for me, I seem to be able to get loads of it for free!) PDF tilesets can be acquired free on wargames vault or RPGnow. There is the foamboard or foam option if you need a textured floor, or DM scotty's stuff would work too.
I do have a list of US wallpaper places on the net that send out free textured samples, one of which gives out really big pieces if I remember rightly....
I'll dig the list out and put them on here and my site later!

Here's the list of textured paper sellers I've found that'll send you free textured samples in the US: Walls republic www.wallsrepublic.com/How-to-Order-Wallpaper-Samples-s/2010.htmUp to 5 free samples can be ordered here, I hink its mainly 2d and not textured, but there are some great looking ones that would prove useful for terrain projects (loads if your into general crafts!) Magic murals- www.magicmurals.com/free-sample/Ok, so not exactly wallpaper, these are giving free Mural samples, these could have implications for modelbuilders like us, so could provide useful (being as I'm in the UK, let me know if this sample was any good!) WallUSA- www.wallusa.com/Appears that these offer samples for free (in the US), contact them directly to ask by the looks, be polite and you might get the motherload! Graham & Brown- www.grahambrown.com/us/info/how-can-we-help/wallpaper-samplesUp to 4 free samples here (8.5” x 11” sized), $2 each there after. Free delivery on samples too. Wallpaper Direct- www.wallpaperdirect.com/us/brands/anaglyptaFree samples and free shipping in the US. This stocks the kind of stuff I get my hands on, including the type I used in the cavern features article (its called popcorn here) Let me know how you get on with these links and samples!!

Yeah, its textured wallpaper, but I don't know the name of the pattern. I picked it up from my local DIY shop, but I'll get the name of the pattern next time I get chance!

I want my! I want my Grinning Skull!" Yup, I'm old enough (too old methinks...!) but yeah, its been hectic over chrimbo, so haven't had any time really to even get to a computer to do anything. I'll be putting some stuff up hopefully over this next week period while its sort of quiet!
