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!
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 😅😅😊
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 ;)
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.
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.
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!
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!
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).
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.
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.
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.
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.
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!
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.
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.
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 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!
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.
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.
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 !
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!!
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
I'm relatively new to the Dungeon Master's side of the table so I kinda loom in the search rooms of UA-cam 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.
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.
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.
@@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.
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!
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.
@@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.
@@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.
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. 👍
when i built my UDT about a month ago I actually did this, one side is dungeon interior and the other side is a grassy plain.... so i guess I'll take the opportunity to say HAHAAA COPYCAT. great video as always.
@@DUNGEONCRAFT1 I've yet to do a mud one lol. I'm planning to make some smaller square pieces like you did, for elevations or to quickly swap out rooms.
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
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.
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.
Still going through your videos so you might have already mentioned this.... When do you do a wash vs starting with the dark colour and painting a lighter colour on top? What's the difference in goal for the look? Does one end darker and the other lighter? (or is one an older method vs a modern method?) while it takes some planning I like the dark to light approach myself (I have no patience waiting for the wash to dry. lol)
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!
Awesome! I have launched a serie o miniature videos inspired by you! The first season will have 7 videos ending with my version of the UDT - Ps.: It's in Portuguese. 2 videos where already published and I am already working in the second season 😱
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.
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!
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'm finally in the Indy area and was stoked to get to see you at GenCon. Not gonna work out again this year. Will there be footage of the game(s) you host?
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
Any chance you could add subtitles/captions? I've noticed they're on your other videos but not this one. I love the idea of interchangeable reversible UDTs. I might try to make some thinner so I can have multiple themes stored in a single pizza box.
I'll be at GenCon Professor, what time and where will you be running your game, I'd like to see the stuff in action. I will also be using my own version of UDT to Run some Free Open Games.
Great additions to UDT!

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.

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: ua-cam.com/video/yfL6wBXPqU8/v-deo.html
YES! YES! YES! HYPE
Your styrofoam trees are a great idea
As always great video
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!
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
Best stuff out there.
love the d20 cookie jar
I'm finally in the Indy area and was stoked to get to see you at GenCon. Not gonna work out again this year. Will there be footage of the game(s) you host?
I will show you a few snippets on the video to air on Thursday August 8.
This is awesome
Could you tell me what material you use exactly and where you buy it? (pink one) Thank you
Extruded XPS insulation. Home Depot.
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
Any chance you could add subtitles/captions? I've noticed they're on your other videos but not this one.
I love the idea of interchangeable reversible UDTs. I might try to make some thinner so I can have multiple themes stored in a single pizza box.
I'll be at GenCon Professor, what time and where will you be running your game, I'd like to see the stuff in action. I will also be using my own version of UDT to Run some Free Open Games.
I second this! Would love to stop by and say hi!
