Terrain Accessories - Doors

[crazy_cat]

Yeah, I'd be interested in a pack of dungeon window dressing. I don't really have any interest in tiles (I just love my tac-tiles way too much), but items I could drop down to dress things up (doors, piles of gold, chests, magic circles, etc.) would be a very, very tempting buy.

Same here. Just picked up FDG Item Packs 1 and 2 from DTRPG (and the doors from the free stuff on their website).

If they make more stuff like this then I'll buy it. Don't need more tiles as I've got loads, and a number of battlemats, but more dungeon dressing - yes please.

I've never tried this [printing transparencies] with the printer I have (or the better printers at the UPS store I sometimes use). Any tips?

Yes, I have several. First, make sure to get transparencies made to go into color printers and copiers. Each brand of printer will suggest one or two different transparencies. I suggest following those tips. Check with the folks at the UPS store, they may or may not allow you to make copies on transparencies. They often don't, because people bring in the wrong kind and they melt at the fuser and jam the machine and require expensive servicing.

Second, make a test run on paper first, to make sure the colors look pretty good and it fits on the page like you want.

Third, manual feed one sheet at a time. Do NOT put a stack in the manual feed tray. Trust me on this, that way leads to disaster.

Most important is that first tip. Make sure to get the proper type of sheets. You will regret it otherwise.

Got it. Thanks. Those tips should save me a lot of time and trouble.

I've got the FDG Dungeon Set 1 (which has some useful doors, too, as some have said above) and Forest Adventures. I think I need to pick up the Caverns Set soon for a particular project I want to carve out, so to speak.

The Caverns set is very versatile - and makes fairly 'natural' looking caves. Most cavern sets result in a boxy appearance that this set avoids. It is also one of the few sets that I do not glue down as permanent fixtures.

I recommend getting some temporary double sided scrapbooking tape to hold the pieces in place, it is also handy when stacking pieces to create a taller wall.
