B4: The Lost City

Tier 3:

Spectacular!

Wow looks great. I used to always begin new Campaigns with this module.

I really loved the fact that there was three options for beginning gear.

I really wish terrain like this was more known about in the early 80s would have made the group I played with have a lot more fun.

Wow...just wow! That is amazingly awesome and absolutely gorgeous! Me love it

Tier 4:





















On to tier 5...

[margaret]

But wait! There's more...

OK I see a trapdoor and is that a rolling boulder trap?

[curufin]

I am finally done with this sucker!   









The two large statues are dollar store wrestler action figures.  They both had the same body, just different heads (one had a mask).  I printed the child and his wings.  I designed and printed the scale, sword, helmet wings, and sheaf of wheat.



Tier 5:



This level is so big I had to stand on a chair to get it all in the shot.



































The causeway doesn't appear in the original module, but this is my favorite tile that DMG has made and I just had to add it.




Since I added the causeway, I had to have a place that it leads to.  So I borrowed Scotty's lizard man encounter tile.





























The nonexistent Tier 6:

This is the secret boss level of the pyramid. 




I dropped in my Sunsnake puzzle room to start it off.






Temple of the Zargon.











The Zargon.











This was a monster of a module to put together.   I am going to take a small break, then I will start on C2: Ghost Tower of Inverness.

I think the word we are looking for here is EXALT! :-)

Beautiful work.

I concur! I especially like Zargon and your pillars. The bronze statues are very impressive too.

I've been away from the forum for way too long, so I missed many of these updates. Curufin, this is sublime. It's a perfect example of what the craft is. Well made fantasy settings that both look great and are functional. Man, I have missed this.

Wonderful job on this!  Everything looks fantastic!  But my favourite little part has got to be that awesome barricaded double-door.  Love it!  I don't think I've ever seen someone do one like that before.  You even parted them slightly and have the wood bar just beginning to break.    That's a fantastic little detail.  Really makes you wonder what's behind those doors, trying to force them open! 

EDIT: I tried to Exalt you for this, but couldn't.  Got an error message, and then tried to do it from your Profile instead, but it says I can't do it again until "x" time (even though I haven't done an Exalt before).  Grr!  Ah well... will try again later!

This is really impressive. I hope you'll take some in-game shots and share them too.

Been following this build. Love what you did with the place! Exalt!

[sgtslag]

Your water is rather simple, but surprisingly effective! Love it! I am genuinely impressed with how good it works: as a crafter, I see how easily it was done, but it is sooo good at evoking water in the viewer's mind... I really did not expect it to be so effective. The whole thing is quite impressive. The statues are VERY good, and very accurate to the image which inspired them. Love it! Thank you for sharing. Cheers!

Thanks, dossen!  This one took me way too long to finish, but I'm happy with the results.


Thanks, Sam!  Those pillars were the very first things I ever crafted for a D&D game, circa '98.   The Zargon is just a TP tube, aluminum foil, hot glue, the rib cage from a skeleton, and a dollar store lizard.  


Thanks, michka!  It has been too long.  I hope this means you are back!


Thanks, Neyjour!  This whole dungeon is a step pyramid that has been swallowed by the desert.  That barred door was the main entrance to the pyramid.  The weight of the sand has been trying to force its way inside for years.  The inhabitants have be barricading the door to keep the sand from flooding the rooms.    The door craft is all flavor.

Yeah, unfortunately the karma thing has been broken for a few months now and I'm not sure it will ever be fixed.  The only way to give karma now is to do it through the members profile page.  If you try to exalt through though the avatar it will give an error message, but still count as a gifting of karma.   

Thanks, matakishi!  I will definitely be taking photos when I run this.


Thanks, voodoo!  Glad you like it!


Thanks, sgtslag!   The water is pretty much just DMG's water.  Hot glue and paint, and a layer of Gloss Modpodge on top.   Couldn't be easier.  I just love the contrast in dungeons.  Water features make grey dungeons more interesting!
