Gosh I have always told myself I wasn't gonna get into terrain cause it would be too complicated and expensive. You're really twisting my arm with these videos 😅😅😊
@Puzzle Bending Could not have said it better myself.
@@norcalbowhunter3264 Wyloch and DM Scotty are great!
@@norcalbowhunter3264 I concur. And those guys are great!
Well, these thinghs can be cheaper still if you stay away from brand stuff and just use generic paint. Cheap brown acrylic paint , some pva glue, some water and some clean sand. Mix: pots, and pots of mud mixture. The same goes for mod podge and even the flocking. Get some basic bbq herbs. Sift the herbs to size. Grind the rest or use it for food. See, cheep flocking. And it smells nice too ;)
@@verrezen You are 100% correct. I'm too lazy to make my own stuff (I once made flock--never again!)
Definitely need a video on the corpse markers!
The corpse markers are great. Excellent video as usual. Looking forward to the next.
And now I know how my weekend will be spent. Thanks Professor.
You're welcome!
I love making terrain! I made Fangorn forest using wire and masking tape covered with clay. Once even made my own Gibbet tree of woe from the Warhammer Beast men book. Haven't finished it because life, but intend to once I get my hobby space set up again.
I have an upcoming video called "The Dungeons of Ikea." You'll like it. Watch for it!
The trees are one of the best craft videos on making trees that I have seen!
Thanks!
Absolutely. I was going to build some trees next month with the wire armature method, but the topless ancient trunks are replacing a lot of those on my plan/ I'll still do one or two the hard way, just for variety.
@@MonkeyJedi99 Great idea. Then compare the results! Enjoy!
Great video as always! I would love to see you make the corpses! I’ve been curious about them since I first saw them on your channel.
i second this. Ultimate Corpse Tokens!

Your work comes out so amazing. I can't believe you're telling people to cut corners (5:45).
Thanks. I thought those trees came out pretty good.
Beautiful, I am seriously going to start doing this. You just re sparked my love for painting miniature type D&D things and for that I am very grateful.
Great additions to UDT!
I built one earlier this summer and also a “wilderness” one where I went a step further! For a grid pattern, I prepared an off yellow color of paint, think ‘dead grass’ and used the BACK of a paint brush to place a drop of it every TWO inches. It looks like dead grass placed on the board at a glance, but if you need to place minis, the pattern stands out just enough to do its job!
I love the trees!
Plainsman Cabin if you have a pic, you should post it on the Facebook page. I’d love to see it!
dangerdelw,
I snapped a couple of pics and went to FB, but Im waiting on the join request to go thru to post.
I was in the middle of making a set of my own and then you come along and show better techniques. Thank you as Always. Please keep them coming.
Those trees are amazing.
Just as I literally finished my UDT yesterday (turned out GREAT!) I get notified of this. NEW PROJECT!!!! :) Thank you Professor!
You're welcome!
I started with model HO-scale trains and terrain and it's always neat how much that hobby overlaps with minis. I also use LEGO castles as both scenery and my DM screen. Helps with immersion and you can reuse them as many times as you want as different styles with a quick rebuild.
Thanks for sharing, professor!
Nothing wrong with Legos--except when your kids leave them on the floor like tiny plastic caltrops.
We uses the 'guys' from my Star Wars Legos in place of miniatures for a few months when we couldn't get access to our normal minis due to one friend being in the hospital (he got better) and it was really cool. I was able to use the leg and some blocks to make 4-legged creatures, including a dragon (used the s-foils from an ETA-Actis as wings).
Good idea for the trees. I like that you only build out the trunks and not the upper limbs and leaves - in my experience, the semblance of a forest is better than using full large trees that block line of sight. Mixing the two types is very effective.
One tip I've learned for applying flocking over large areas is to get one of those green shaker-cans of fake Parmesan, throw out the "cheese", and fill the can with your flocking. The flip-top lids with the holes give a really even application of flocking.
Amazing! Three quality crafts in one 11 minute video. Thank you!
Love all your terrain making videos. This has inspired me to do my own spin on wilderness terrain for the backside of my first UDT... I'm going to make a nice base coat and use some leftover texture spray paint and then color it with some green paints.
Cool! More terrain and painting videos are in production. I have two slap chop videos and a gladiator arena UDT. Stay tuned!
I finally found THE trees, thanks to you, professor. I looked to a very good amount of videos and by far this are the very best. Love you !
Thanks. Hope you liked Ultimate Sewer Terrain as well.
Lmao yesssss!!!!!! I just finished editing a video for next week where I tell people to check out your ultimate terrain. This is perfect. The timing couldn’t have been more perfect.
Cool!
Very nice. Foam is a regular miracle product. Took me a moment to realize the pizzas were the corpses :)
Love it! Yeah the corpses would be cool to see, I mean it's easy to guess how you did them but a lot more fun to see.
Great use for left over foam that everyone in the hobby has!
I like the Ultimate Dungeon/Wilderness Terrain (UDT/UWT) a lot. I have begun gathering supplies to make my own. I would love to see an episode where you could show the color palette for a snowy tundra. It would be great to add ice cavern rooms, frozen hill and frozen creek to the snowy tundra terrain just like we would add sewer corridors and rooms to the UDT and hills and cliffs to the UWT. Perhaps a volcanic color pallet. There are a lot of options. Thank you for sharing these techniques.
That sounds like a Christmas episode! (Sorry you have to wait but it's too good a theme not to use!).
@@DUNGEONCRAFT1 I am glad you are open to the idea. That will be something to look forward to. :-)
@@Grimvant For sewers, make these and just drop them on top of your UDT. ruclips.net/video/pe0J_F7C87w/видео.html
I have always been a theater of the mind DM, that's just the way we did it back then but every time I watch one of your crafting videos I get the urge to craft terrain.
Because I’m stuck playing online, I can’t get much use out of building terrain, but I always find your videos fun and informative, plus they get me psyched to play which is always a plus!
Cool. Thanks for watching!
CORPSE GRINDER! Yea, those markers are amazing. Keep up the great work! Also, thank you so very much for spending your limited time on this planet to help us all escape reality. You rock!
You're very welcome!
Lol, I couldn't figure out why you made "Tree Stumps" and then you placed the figure on top and I was like "Ah Ha, I get it now." Great video.
Thanks for watching!
You, sir, are a genius. Those trees look great!
Would love a video about the corpses. Keep up the good work!
Seriously for a gag you’ve gotta do a Bob Ross spoof video complete with wig
Bob Ross Wig of Inspiration :)
I may do that.
Awesome video professor! I love the technique- I have a UDT and UTT ( forest) and still going to make a desert and a snow terrain ( can never have enough terrain!) the trees are inspirational !
This is fantastic! My group has one turntable already and we are talking about more scatter terrain.
Very creative! Thank you for your time and ideas.
Professor is the Michelangelo of UDT
Thanks!
Another outstanding video! Thanks professor!
Thanks for binge-watching my old videos! Check out The Lost City if you haven't already!
Yes! This is what I’ve been waiting for all week!
love your crafting videos. this one is no exception. love your tree idea too
Beautiful! Thank you for one more amazing video.
I made 5 ultimate dungeon terrain discs after your original video. (one is water) wish i'd waited for this vid. cant wait to make these trees and fix my boards. thank you!
You're very welcome!
I could see useing the mud field terrain for trenches for war hammer or other war games! Love the trees 🌳
Great idea to make tree's out of leftover insulation, enjoyed the video.
Nice tiles and trees! The key for people interested more in the playability than the height of exquisite craft is versatility, and your topless trees hit that point just right. You 'could' have built terrain to fit a very specific module or encounter, or you could build terrain that can be reused by changing orientation and set dressing, as you have done.
4:49 I would have awarded bonus xp if you made a Bob Ross reference, about making happy little trees, or some other use of personification. Other wise, outstanding tutorial. You make it look effortless like Bob. Cheers
Amazing terrains...thanks for your videos
Yes! I lurv the corpse markers! I just can't express how much you've inspired me with your creativity! Thank you for making these videos for us. My games are getting MUCH better. Thank you!
I would like to see more videos about wild terrain crafting, like stones and these roads shown in this episode. You crafts always have grim medieval feeling and I love it! Sorry my English.
Nice! I'm late to this party, as usual...but those trees were brilliant! 🙂 Great video!
Corpse markers for the win! Really nice trees - love the playability.
OKAY. Duly noted.
Great video Professor. I absolutely LOVED your approach to trees. It was different from a lot of methods I've seen and I think they really popped. Thanks so much for sharing. As an added note by request if I'm not mistaken...Yes, I'd love to see a video on how to made the slaughtered figures, liked them ever since watching them in your previous videos. You really have a great channel Professor, thank s for all effort you put into your channel and especially the information on the game that you share. I like so many here really love the outside of the box thinking and think the game has needed this for a long time. Learned more from your channel on gaming than any other, and believe me, I've watched a lot of them. Anyhoo, rambling here...thanks again and love those trees....lol Cheers!!
What a great video! I’m looking forward to a video on how to make corpses soon
Thanks, Elizabeth! It's great to know Dungeoncraft's outreach efforts to the female youtube community are succeeding. Happy crafting!
I use a small hand-held pasta strainer from the Dollar Store for applying flock evenly. Maybe something to consider in the future.
Who drops a thumbs down on this? Weird.
Anyway, great video, thanks a lot!
Yeah! That's really strange.
A bitter colleague that he's never invited to a session or revealed the secret of his +1 tweed jacket to.
There are always critics--and it's OKAY because a thumbs down counts the same as a thumbs up. Thanks for watching!
Those look great! Very versa-tile! ;)
Yes, please show us how you made the corpse markers. Great videos. My group loves the Ultimate Dungeon Terrain I made after watching your video.
The trees are great !
I'm an accomplished terrain maker. I've made everything from trees to full-sized scratch-built buildings, etc. Howbeit, I've completely given up on it, in favour of a simpler approach. I use a powerful fantasy map making program to create, and then print out battle maps, with or without a grid. It's great because I can create a map of any size (taping multiple sheets together) for any scenario imaginable, forests, clffsides, dungeons, coastal, desert, etc. It's a real time and space saver.
However, for terrain use...Professor DM's approach seems the best way to go, especially if you have limited space.
Thanks!
Most definitely do the corpse markers, I think they would be great
On the way.
we are very much alike when it comes to the rules of the game. Do a kickstarter for your own version of D&D. it will sell. Yes def do the corpse marker video.
Honestly not a bad idea. Consolidating your rules and adding in some of your awesome tables would be an invaluable le resource.
@@Styles2304 I've written stuff for publication. Takes too long. DungeonCraft would suffer and it makes more money than selling a rulebook. But I'd never say never.
awesome tutorial, i'll try it soon!
Thanks! I think they've improved over time. I appreciate your kind words and viewership!
I actually went and made an outdoor UDT a couple of months ago, and I gotta say I like mine a lot but Professor's turned out way better than mine. 😂
You can always do it again!
Very excited to see those corpses. Please do make a video
As always great video
I would love the corpse marker video!
A much cheaper alternative to the mud texture is to mix water, paint, yard sand, and wood filler. You can buy a tub of it at a hardware store for around $5 and it will last you about 30 of those mud texture bottles. 👍
I'm relatively new to the Dungeon Master's side of the table so I kinda loom in the search rooms of RUclips looking for nuggets of wisdom from other Masters in hopes of not screwing up and giving my players a good time. I was recently looking to improve terrain since my hand drawing ability is, putting it kindly, atrocious and was looking at some of the stuff from the Running the Game series when your Ultimate Dungeon Terrain video popped up in my suggestions. A curious soul I decided to give a look...I've watched and bookmarked six of your videos, I have a shopping list and I'm going to be making some purchases in the near future.
One of the first things that came to my mind when watching you do the trees was that I wanted to make something like the Great Deku Tree from the Zelda series and maybe have the 'sage' from your NPC video living there. A great tree from the early times, old enough and powerful enough to have a mind of its own and a powerful druid who dwells either within it or in a home grown from the branches itself!
It is housed in the ancient grotto, where dryads and firbolgs help protect the forest surrounding it. Only those the druid wishes to meet with are allowed to find the true path of the Labyrinthine Forest.
Keep them coming
Great videos Professor. I would like to see a video on the corpse markers
I had the same idea, either before you or at the same time, I just made ultimate dungeons terrain for the ocean floor.
those trees look great.
You and Hankerin Fernail at Runehammer are pretty similar. He's been alittle crazy lately, though.
HF is a true inspiration. The guy is a genius.
very practical!
This is awesome
Corpses...yes please!
Amazing.
Best stuff out there.
We need the video where PDM patches his lawn with Army Painter Steppe Grass.
New video out now: ruclips.net/video/clK6f6A6gDE/видео.html
Professor, could you please detail what paint you used for the third pizza at the very beginning of the video? The brighter grass one. I really love it!
Both started with forest green. Then I gradually lighten them, adding more and more yellow, stippling it on in layers.
@@DUNGEONCRAFT1 Thank you! I appreciate it! Signed your fellow canadian!
So good. Damn
really kool thank you
Yes make a video on the corpse markers!
Awesome looking terrain
Not sure I have the patience for that
It takes 30 minutes!
Dungeon Craft looks hard to do for me anyway
Good stuff
I mix black with my modge podge and then put that down as a base coat and then use a spray can to put the color on.
Flock off!! Ha ha haha
I wish I was adroit enough to have done that on purpose. It was a mistake!
I would love to see the corpse creation!
The only problem I have with these wilderness terrains is that they don’t have the 1 inch markers for movement speed. But great video nonetheless!
Cool, how would you make conifers?
Why did you not include the inch grid in these? How do you determine distance without it?
These are fantastic, I cannot wait to build them for my campaign!
I should have taken the time to discuss the fact I don't use a grid. A character can move a pencil length in 1 round. I will mention this in the next UDT video--Ultimate Sci-Fi terrain. it's coming in 2-3 weeks.
Would it be possible to supply a list of items used in building the UDT and pieces to place on top during play?
Utility knives, XPS foam, Valejo Mud texture Paint, Modelling Flock, Green & Brown Craft paint, Citadel Steel Legion Drab, Agratx Earthshade, Karak Stone, Mod Podge, wire brush.
I also feel inspired by this rotating terrain you are teaching. Besides the trees, can you show further "terrain pieces" ? And also from my previous question: did you actually primed Reaper Bones with Citadel primer sprays ?
I've done that but they don't get many views. Check out the hill video at the end of UWT. Yes, I Primer Reaper Bone with Citadel. I know there's a weird urban legend that Citadel melts Bones, but it's never happened to me--and I use a LOT of Bones!
I like it.
Any good tips for building a town/village or a couple of houses?
Check out simple houses on blackmagiccraft. Also, start with one, then figure out what you want to change and make another, et cetera. - blackmagiccraft has some videos of making houses with just dollar store foam board in case you don't have a wire cutter or just don't want to work with the EPS foam.
@@MonkeyJedi99 Here you go. This is one of my favorite videos that I have shot: ruclips.net/video/yfL6wBXPqU8/видео.html
Excellent thanks! One question, what about desert or tropical terrain?
Same method, different colors, and glue down a thin layer of sand before painting. Or glue down some 120 or 220 grit dry (paper backed) sandpaper. Then give it a coat of pain and/or wash to reduce the ouch.
Sounds like a follow-up video! But since that may take awhile I'll tell you how I'd do it: for desert I'd paint it Craftsmart Tan, dry, paint with glue, cover with fine sand (the Craft store stuff--even though it's more expensive), then coat with watered-down PVA. The Jungle I' use the step grass disk and different trees. Vines would make the surface uneven. Cheers!
@@DUNGEONCRAFT1 thanks! This might sound odd, but my players like the idea of setting d&d in ancient Israel and being in the world of the Bible. I'm throwing in Greek mythology too. It's a general ancient world beginning in the Levant 8th century bc. Any advice and suggestions welcome. Thanks
@@Hadezul2 One suggestions: MACCABEES! Sorry for shouting. That's how D&D that book is!
Prof Dungeon Master: once you've run McDeath at GenCon any chance we could get a vid about it? The Scottish Play is a fav of mine, and an orc version sounds like a fantastic idea! Thanks
Hi Prof. I for one would love to see the corpse markers made I've noticed them before in other vids and I've got a lot of spares so I wouldn't mind having a go at some
I was able to achieve a similar effect to wilderness terrain by buying a roll of grass-textured paper from hobby lobby for about 8 dollars and gluing it to the other side of my UDT
That works too!
Good stuff, PDM. Really like the tree idea. However, for the sake of being 'that guy', I'm 95% certain there is no fiberglass in that foam. :-)
A couple of people have said that. You may be correct. I assume there is some fiberglass in there because when you cut it will a foam cutter it creates a long fiber strands. Don't know what they are.
love the d20 cookie jar
YES! YES! YES! HYPE
Wow first time I see someone using xps for making trees!
Do you feel it would be better to use a few washers at the bottom to make the tree less top heavy since xps is very light?
GREAT question! Nope. Not needed if you use the floor tile. It's heavy enough.
Could you tell us about that paint stand at the back? The black one?
That's 3 tier lazy Susan I got off of Amazon. It was expensive--like $70! However, it fit the space perfectly.
How thick is the foam for the trees?
I'll be using My Magnetic Version of Ultimate Dungeon Terrain in the Open Gaming Area Most Days, I hope it will be in the Hyatt again, Stop by and Take a Look any of you Dungeon Crafters.
Are we talking GenCon? I'll stop by and drop off DungeonCraft swag! When will you definitely be there?
@@DUNGEONCRAFT1 Leaving Milwaukee for the Con Wednesday Morning, never miss GenCon. Thursday Night I'll be Running Something, and probably during the Day Friday and Saturday. Open Gaming was in the Hyatt last Year so I am Hoping it will be again this year.
@@jefffisher1297 Noted. I will show up at some point. Looking forward to meeting you!
@@DUNGEONCRAFT1 I have just read on the Con Website that there will be Open Gaming in the JW Marriot, I always try for the Hyatt first but if that's a no, then the JW Mariott. Or you can Text me 262-424-2406, thanks.
@@jefffisher1297 Even better. I run a game on Thursday night at 5pm at the JW. I'll find you.
