I want more 3D Dungeon Decor

[TheAuldGrump]

The Auld Grump - some of those pics are a tad big.

Keep them coming though. Wow.

Yeah, there were quite a bit smaller on the Fantascene website.

There is another company, the name of which is escaping me, that makes some very nice 19th century decor - I rather like the idea of a gaslit dungeon.... (My long range plot for my current Spycraft Steampunk game involves a theological analytic engine named MOLOCH. As in He Who Delights In The Scent of Burnt Offerings....)

Another nice piece of Armorcast terrain, my own is painted in gunmetal, brass, and copper colors, with grand disregard for bimetallic reactions.

The Auld Grump, in case you were wondering MOLOCH is not the good guy.

And do not neglect the wonderful world of Do It Yourself.

Reaper Miniatures has a series of articles on The Craft, including some terrain articles, including a big old pile of treasure made from hot glue, round glitter, fake gems, and an ink wash. (I have made this one - it looks a heck of a lot better than it has any right to. I was expecting to be disappointed, but was very pleasantly surprised.)

Another is The twenty minute monolith - I had already made one, years before reading the article.

Nnnng! So pretty.... Not out yet, but coming from World Works.... And I just got my CraftROBO.

Meanwhile, Fat Dragon has come out with a nice ruined structure -

Makes me want to run Sinister Secret of Saltmarsh.

As has Dave Graffam

Some good chests and some drawers for decor.

And an oldie but a goody from World Works

Lots of decor and tiles in this one, and the stairs can support a horde of plastic goblins and a metal troll. (As I learned to my regret in a Mordheim game.... 10 goblins, a troll, and an orc - my team never made it to close combat... the goblin's bows chewed me to shreds.)

The Auld Grump, sleep typing.

A semi-serious method for some terrain and decor is edible terrain!

Meringue Mushrooms (to choose a not random at all example) are surprisingly durable, and after the encounter are downright delicious. It has been a few years since I did an edible encounter, but the kids I ran the game for enjoyed it. And not having to worry about the kids damaging the terrain and decor eased my mind a tad.

Rock candy is very easy to make, and can create some very nice 'crystals'. If you have a plastic skeleton figure then you can grow the candy around it - adding a macabre touch. Food coloring can be added to the sugar solution to make varicolored crystals.

And you can always go for the classic witch encounter, using a gingerbread house....

The Auld Grump, yes, they ate the fungal forest....

Hirst Arts has a lot of accessories, if you don't mind working for them.

And if you don't want to do the casting yourself, there's Castle Kits, which sells pre-cast Hirst Arts pieces. You can buy them in project sets (like for a particular tower plan on the Hirst site) or mold sets (loose pieces from one particular mold #).

Since I'm not much for casting myself, I'll probably buy some dungeon dressing pieces from them and paint 'em. I also might actually finish up my project to build a fully playable model of Castle Ravenloft (the above-ground section would be 6' fully assembled).

I talked me into it - I am doing an edible dungeon for the kids game, just around Christmas.

The Auld Grump, and I made a test batch of meringue mushrooms, to see if it was as easy as I remembered... not quite, but pretty easy. (Munch, munch, munch....)

Do you know if they come pre-painted?

According to their Indications page

To the figures and construction kits:

For our figures and construction kits we normally use the materials pewter, resin, and keramin. Construction kits and figures are supplied in individual parts and unpainted. As the consignment may include small parts (partly also containing lead), these articles are not suited for small children.

 

[Man in the Funny Hat]

I think it's Reaper that I got a campfire set from. Given how many scenes in the typical RPG take place around the heroes' encampment, I'm astonished how long it took me to find a simple campfire.

(Yellow d4s get old after a while. . . .)

Made my own out of Sculpy a couple of times (they tended to get books or large, metal minis of giants or dragons dropped on them). Just roll the clay into round strips, criss-cross them on the bottom for the wood branches/logs. Add a cluster of verticals pinched to points for the flames. Bake. Coat with white glue for strength and to seal the clay. Paint. Glue on a wisp of cotton at the top for smoke.

I just went looking for it to put up a photo and it seems I'll have to do it AGAIN as it must have been lost sometime in the last couple of house moves.
