Oh, you were talking about chipboard. Sorry, I thought that you were talking about cardstock!

You know, if, before painting those tiles, you added some blobs of hot glue rising up like bubbles, you could add a bit of variety to them. Each is already unique with the method there, and adding a bit more would make the larger areas of it look even more interesting.

WCV 024 - Treasure Piles

Post by DnDPaladin on Oct 12, 2015 18:57:40 GMT
cardstock... seriously ? as if nobody ever bought cereal or pizzas... i think i have like 10 boxes of pizza still lingering around and 2 boxes of cereal. not a big fan of cereal.
the problem with treasure piles is that they flake off after a lot of uses. i also try to put some weapons and armors in certain piles. just for diversity.

One thing with the glitter "debate" as it were for treasure, mixing the two up tends to actually look better than both. A light wash in addition tends to also define it more as gold at the same time.

Thx.
Starting to learn about and experiment with paint color - how to determine mixes, keytones, etc.

Might wanna go bigger than 3" squares for exteriors... But I don't really use tiles for exteriors myself, just a large piece of dark green felt and a mix of papercraft and plastic terrain.

Yeah, for exteriors, at least if you aren't going for a sand or the like, is to dig out the old GW cloth grass mat...it's still the best thing they've ever come up with and it's a damned shame they discontinued it.

Im currently designing traps based on your methods this is my pitfall trap its still a WIP, I base all my info off of D&D 3.5 adjust accordingly to game rules/styles Pitfall Spike Trap Trigger- False Floor triggered by X lb (I.e The trap can be set so that halflings wouldn't set it off but humans would)
Avoidance- Reflex Save (Medium) or under weight limit
Escape- Easy/Impossible dependent on depth, party, and equipment
Depth- Dependent on group lvl or how bad you want that one rouge who always has something smart to say, but never checks for traps when walking down a hallway because he thinks that no person in there right mind would ever trap the floor to die. (1d6 per 10ft)
Pit Spikes - Treat spikes at the bottom of a pit as daggers, each with a +10 attack bonus. The damage bonus for each spike is +1 per 10 feet of pit depth (to a maximum of +5). Each character who falls into the pit is attacked by 1d4 spikes.
Any comments or suggestions let me know, Thanks

Sweet! I'll be doing traps in a few episodes. My pit trap is just a 2" x2" insert, not a dedicated tile. I like the forced perspective of the four slanted sides - you might consider shading them with a black gradient, to even further enhance the depth.

One thing that a friend of mine pointed me to this morning that left me considering a more sturdy option for the tiles is Woodcrafter's custom plywood squares...making them with the majority of the tiles based on them, potentially with some of their custom ones for angled and curved pieces...then using other things for the walls and to decorate the tile.
