The Dungeon of Sagra-Bayar (new pictures 9 April)
« on: June 13, 2018, 12:27:27 PM »
The modular dungeon, that is.

Completed the latest round of glass work this weekend and allowed the hobby to take over one of my shop tables for a couple days. Now this idea had been bouncing around my head for a while: 3D dungeon tiles using faux-stone vinyl tiles. Seemed like a fast and simple way to get a sturdy, stone floor. Add a hunk of 1″ insulation foam, some cheap craft paint, a couple paint pens, lots of elbow grease scoring the stone work, and glue.

The result is three 12″x 12″ rooms, six 6″ x 12″ corridors, and eight 6″ x 6″ rooms.





I know there’s lots of detailing yet to be done. I’m going to scour my bits box and the internet for details and banners, and I suspect I’ll want to pick up a couple sets of 28mm scenics and furniture, but I think this is a good start. So far, the project cost less than $50.

More pictures coming as I progress. I’m looking forward to our next dungeon crawl even more now.

Have a great day.

Steal away. That's what the internet is for.

I did the same for a modular mine, and they came out pretty nice.
What did you use to glue the foam down? 
After some trying, I found Liquid Nails to give me the best result.

Did you have a plan for the "optimal" piece types and numbers, or did you just kind of wing it?

I used Weldbond. Sort of Elmers on steroids. It's holding together so far.

Winged it - Which is why I made three additional passageway end-caps today.

Back at it after a couple weeks off, a new Song of Blades and Heroes campaign begins:



A snarky Dragonborn paladin, a sensitive Orc, a spectacularly unlucky Dwarf, and a know-it-all Elf descend into a crypt in search of gold.

Great job on the dungeon. I really like the photography - very dramatic, some nice angles.

 Looking forward to the next installment!

Missed a couple session due to real life obligations, but our heroes eventually returned to Tharnulf's Crypt. Was a slugfest, but they finally made it past the library to stand bloodied but unbeaten before Tharnulf's Chamber.

Added some permanent scatter terrain bitz to the modular dungeon tiles. Funny what a few barrels, chests, rubble piles, broken boxes, and scattered weapons will do to smarten a place up.





Thanks for looking. As always, there's more at:

Grandsons 1 and 2 brought a bit of combat to the dungeon tiles recently. To be continued.





A do-over would find me using different glue for the walls -> floor. Weldbond doesn't have the grip.

A couple more pix at the blog.
