Modern gamins sure has us spoiled now.

What is the correlation between people who “don’t like 3d setups” and those who’ve never encountered them I wonder.

I must admit, I overlooked the actual tile pieces on display. I am normally not a fan of 3D terrain or elaborate set pieces used at the game table. I find it distracting and cumbersome, especially when it dominates the play area. I prefer lowkey/low-tech accessories, like battlemats or dungeon tiles.

But taking a closer look, I actually like the minimalist design of the tiles shown here. These would be easy to store and setup quickly going from one scene or area to the next. I wouldn't do anything so elaborate or complex like this, but that's just me.

There's actually a 3D print shop in the mall nearby...

They are designed to be fairly modular, so set up is pretty easy. Also, the walls are thin (unlike Dwavernforge, etc) so you can get true representation of scale with maps without walls taking up 5 feet due to thickness. Also, because they are thin, he has clips that keep sections firmly together but are easily placed and removed.

My DM, along with 3D printing, sure does have us spoiled compared to when I started in 1981 with popcorn as stand ins for minis.

Yeah. Things have really changed. Back in the day(and even sometimes now) I used dice. It's easy to figure out which orcs are which when I can change the faces of the d6s to 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 to represent the 5 attacking orcs.

This is brilliant!

3d print the popcorn for that nostalgic feel.

It's all fun and games until someone breaks a tooth on one.

Very cool. While great looking, the stairs don't allow to place models. What do you do if you don't have enough movement to make it to the top or bottom?

Start over next turn at the bottom!

Solid design. I did a similar design a decade or more ago. Did he design them himself or did he get the STLs from somewhere? I'm debating getting a printer...

I did similar with mini d6s I used on my official minis
