    HUGE THANKS ARCHVILLAIN GAMES FOR SPONSORING THIS VIDEO! CHECK THEM OUT : bit.ly/AVBMC
    In this episode I create some really cool modular, Egyptian themed, desert terrain. Can work well for TTRPGs like Dungeons & Dragons or Wargaming like Age of Sigmar. Could be used with battle mat or dungeon tiles.

      Now I need a 3d printer. Been wanting one so bad.... I'm wait until they're more user friendly, I'm not a tech head and all the ones I've seen are way to complicated on the tech end. I have a brother scan-n-cut, all it does is cut paper/vinyl/fabric, and that thing took me forever to get right. If I cant fix it with a hammer it's too techy for me LOL how often do you actually use the one you have? I wouldn't mind getting a glowforge tho, but I'd have to take out a loan for one of those 😆.

      @@alexbarrett3832 Yeah, it'd be so simple to put in a magnet, or even just cut a slot deep enough to hold their base. Maybe put them on square bases, and make them look like they're standing on a shelf attached to the stonework. Use a couple of mini's and bases to have some "blank" spots on the walls too.

  • @brianartillery
    @brianartillery 3 роки тому

    Those look awesome. Ancient Egypt is endlessly fascinating, and desert storms still reveal sites thought lost to history. The great thing about Egyptian ruins, is that they DID build secret chambers, and they DID put unpleasant traps in their tombs, like 'bottomless' pits - the early Egyptologist Belzoni found one in an excavated tomb, early in his career, his strength and agility (he had been a circus strong man) saving him from an unpleasant death. Ancient Egypt has to be the most flexible RPG scenario of all.
    Then, of course, you have the short story that H.P. Lovecraft wrote for Harry Houdini: 'Imprisoned With The Pharaohs'. Definitely full of ideas, that one.

    Well there's something I didn't know I needed in my life. It's not a setting I've considered recently. It was so over used in media at a stage that I think I felt it was tacky to use for my TTRPGs but it may be time to reconsider.
    BTW I was listening to Distorted Memory for the first time in ages yesterday and it transported me back to a simpler time of pleather skirts and studded collars before I discovered what a drag adulting would be, was a very welcome escape.
