I assumed you had a huge audience simply based off the quality of the video and the ingenious crafting. This is an incredible amount of precise work. I hope you get the recognition you deserve!
This was wonderful. A modular diablo-style dungeon fits like a glove with the procedural dungeon generation in the games, and as someone whose knowledge of DM'ing and dungeon crafting for D&D is very superficial, I really appreciate all of the small crafting hints and details you put on display here. It really gave me a new level of appreciation for this stuff! And as others have pointed out, the quality of the visuals, editing and framing of the video is something I'd expect from a channel with 100x the subscriber numbers. I hope this gets seen by many more, because it really deserves to.
My thought exactly: the procedural generation in Diablo is pretty similar to that what I do when I design a dungeon. Only that I use dice and of course my brain 😄 Thank you for watching!
I used a reddish-purple color for my floors, also inspired by The red bricks of Diablo 1. I'm so happy to see others with the same love for that atmosphere and even more so to see you providing this tutorial to give it a shot as well!
This sounds great! Reddish purple is probably even more true to the original but I wanted to have the clear distinction between wall and floor color. Thanks for watching!
I really have been enjoying the newer build I have seen like this one that have been using different color schemes! It's always interesting to go back to those older video games and realize that the pallet they used was much more varied. I wasn't paying enough attention back then. Great video!
Just discovering this channel after being a DM crafter for a few years. Fantastic video production, simple instructions that dont require expensive tools, and new techniques I hadnt seen before. 10/10 would recommend.
I love that you are embracing the colors and demonstrating how to do it without looking garish. There's definitely far too much grey, black, and brown in medieval fantasy the way it is without DMs adding to that.
Yeah, which is mostly a modern concept, as people at the time loved colors, very bright and garish. Basically only England was dirty, brown, and had no one washing themselves. Much like it is today.
Pretty unique build. I've watched a lot of these kinds of vids over the years and can say this is the only time I've seen a build like this. Turned out very nicely. Well done
Wow, this is very-very pleasing to the eye! Looks very good, you can clearly see where the walls are and where the floor is, but they still harmonize with each other. Great job!
I love your take on the modular style. Wyloch is a great inspiration and I'm glad to see you taking a page from his book while bringing your own ideas to the table. I was also struck by your comment: "Although I don't use a traditional grid... I still have a hint of a grid." That's so clever! You clearly put a lot of thought into your builds and it's helped me learn something today. Thank you!
Thank you for your kind words! And for watching of course! Yeah as I said in the video, I try to avoid it as my players don’t really use it (we tried and they asked me anyway about distances) and I find it very gamey. So I think this fits neatly in our style of game.
This is a fantastic video, and props for pulling inspiration from a great game! I like how you went through the process one step at a time, but didn't linger too long on any one. The extra editing was also noticed. This is some serious quality!
Very nice work - I really appreciate the departure from a neutral, monotone grey! It really worked well in Diablo while still coming off as creepy enough for the game, and this is a great tribute to that. I can't help thinking that, for those who work in a more modular pre-built tile system, that this will work great when combined with the HeroQuest board game for some inspiration for themed areas like a torture chamber, temple, summoning circle, and so on: the HeroQuest board game - the great-grand-daddy of all tabletop dungeon terrain sets - worked on a similar premise, but switched up the floor tiles in muted colours and brick/tile styles, so you had some nice greens, blues, yellows, and so on as well, on marbled, flagstone, wood plank, and other textures - the game board kept the colours muted and subtle, and it was a nice effect. Now that I'm thinking of it, Diablo might have even done something similar for its pre-generated areas (I remember the Butcher's chamber standing out as a little different, for example!)
Foam dart pillars is genius, I'm sooooo glad I saw this vid. I've been trying to think of what to use to make pillars for ages and I have a ton of nerf darts
Loved it, I've been playing DnD since the 80's and still do all my terrain as DIY with cardboard and random things I find. I love seeing how people create new and improved things.
That's absolutely astonishing. I found myself traveling back to 1997. Nice fit for the doors, I can't think I'm something more modular than this. Will try it as soon as possible, but I'll made it with cardboard. I found out that putting metal wires inside the cardboard it's a fine alternative for magnets. Thanks for the inspiration.
I think my only real problem with cardboard is that it can warp pretty easily. I know you can counteract that but it’s not something I like to work around. Though I do like your idea with the wires. Other than that cardboard is a great material for getting playable scenery on the table.
Legitimately ended up watching this twice, was just skimming trough it at first because it caught my eye but it turned out to be REALLY good, fantastic work man! hope to see the channel grow!
Very cool! For sci-fi/modern setting one can reverse color scheme so it looks like concrete floor and brick walls. You may want to make extra diagonal walls, which are bit longer (square root of 2, or about x1.41 longer) and have their pillar angled by 45 degrees and indent for corner of other pillar. This will help with making octagonal rooms still in line with grid of rectangular rooms (and even making rooms with one wall angled). If You need example of why this is great for modular terrain look up Battle Sanctum terrain for Warhammer 40k.
Yeah there will be definitely a second part or maybe more for additional pieces and also a few varying wall pieces. Here I just wanted to start with a few basics.
I'm currently building a Blitz Bowl Pitch, and I was gonna try to make the walls, dougouts and everything modular, so it would be easy to disasemble and trasnport. I swear I've been ocuppying my last week trying to insert and align all sorts of magnets into the thin ply sheet I was planning on using under the EVA foam were I sculpted the pitch itself. THIS! Using a metal sheet instead, so no matter where I land my walls, the magnets in them stick! This is genius!!!
Very nice. I wish I saw this video before I started my dungeon tile project a few weeks ago, I would have rethought my whole approach. I really like the colour scheme. I will incorporate more reds and blues in my next set of tiles. I wouldn't have thought that PVA glue alone would be enough to hold the magnets in place so I assume that the cork and paint/glue layer over the metal sheet weakened the magnetic pull enough that the magnets don't dislodge from the walls.
The pva holds the magnets pretty well in place to be honest. Even other magnets won’t pull them out. But yeah the magnetic pull between tile and wall is not as strong as I would have liked but it’s still strong enough to keep the walls standing upright and in place.
Thank you very much. I find this helps me a lot coming down after work, so I can definitely recommend crafting something like this for yourself. But I'm happy you enjoyed this regardless!
I enjoyed your video a lot. Well structured, good explanation, well filmed and cut. I hope you get the attention and subs you dserve. I am very much looking forward to your next crafting projects! Dungeon terrain would be great to see
That's really cool! Once you get more wall or specialized pieces built the possibilities will be endless. I do hope you do make all sorts of small, specialized pieces of terrain with magnets that you can put in the middle of your dungeon, like say: campfires, barrels, crates, coffins, altars, fountains, prison shackle walls, broken gravestones, chains, but i was really thinking a sewer drain, or a closed well would fit so much without taking space, like round and small maybe could hint to a passage below. Man if you add magnets to it and give it a similar paint job you can fit anything into it! So amazing using metal as a base for magnetized terrain!!! ❤😊 Got yourself a follow man
I designed my tiles based around early 90's PC dungeon crawlers like Dungeon Hack!, Wizardry, Breath of Fire 2, and Phantasy Star. Never was a fan of the all-gray look and instead went with a "pixelated" Saturday morning cartoon design. I utilized a 2x2 repeatable pattern for a consistent look. I then paint with only a handful of colors. This idea started when I was only using highlighters to color my designs and loved how characters stand out easier on the table. Simple monsters were usually a couple of colors and the more difficult were all gold. Not only does it give a certain charm, but it also makes it my very own and easy to replicate.
"Ahhh... Fresh meat!" I just saw this in my recommendations, and now I'm a subscriber. I was already following Wyloch (and many other crafters), but your approach is refreshing and creative. =^[.]^=
I actually used the 5mm sheet on the base of this miniature: Buying WARHAMMER is not enough? - Make your OWN Minis! ua-cam.com/video/dZIgLYS1ElA/v-deo.html It really works quite well!
I second all the positive comments that you have received. They are everything I would have said or forgot to say in my comment. Thank you for taking the time to make this video. I'll definitely be watching it over and over again as well as your other ones. Liked and subscribed!
That came out really nice! Though if I were to do it I'd needa factor in that slight bump by the bottom so everything fits flush against eachother. Still, the set looks great and the colors really pop!
Well as someone who didn’t thought he would ever get back into this, I can only wholeheartedly recommend this hobby and it’s great to see that this reaches people outside of the hobby. Thanks for watching!
I have no idea about this hobby. I just saw Diablo in the title and I have to say you really nailed the look. The amount of work that went into this and the creative process is mind blowing.
Good call out for Wylock he is one of the best. His stuff isn't he fanciest, but it is very easy to make and very modular. Nice use of the makeup brush, does great for large area drybrush.
1000% agree, this is amazing craftsmanship. The price point is irrelevant. How many hours did this take? Honestly, I don't know and I'm not willing to try and estimate. Having the tools, knowledge, materials, and a camera is all you need for greatness.
I assumed you had a huge audience simply based off the quality of the video and the ingenious crafting. This is an incredible amount of precise work. I hope you get the recognition you deserve!

Seconded. This was a great video. I also subscribed and am looking forward to your next project!
I felt exactly the same
Subbed based on video title alone.
Thanks man! Great to have you onboard and thanks for the clip on inspiration 🙂
I never would have guessed that the magnets would still work through the layers of cork bricks and paint. Really cool!
Little neodymium magnets can be surprisingly potent.

Love it! For me Diablo 1 is my favourite of the series, such an eerie atmosphere. Looking forward to see you expanding on this!
I will be using this technique for when I DM a campaign of Steinrich's Guide to the Eldritch Hunt.
Pretty unique build. I've watched a lot of these kinds of vids over the years and can say this is the only time I've seen a build like this. Turned out very nicely. Well done
Thank you very much!
I know it's topical thanks to the beta, but it still makes me smile seeing all the love D1 has been getting lately.
Really cool stuff, subbed!
Wow! I work in construction and I have all of these materials around the house. I never thought about using them in this way!
You make this look so easy! Great video. I love how you say things like "be careful with this step" and there you are like a pro going so fast.
Thanks!
Ohh wow thank you so very much for the ‚Super thanks‘! And of course for watching 🙂
Great Work! Congratz to 100k views!

Dude! WOW! Amazing detail. These look fantastic!
Super! Ganz toll! That dungeon set came out amazing. The way you put together your video made it entertaining to watch an easy to follow. Thank you!
Vielen lieben Dank! Great you like it! Thanks for watching :)
Love the color choices. Really adds life to the dungeon.
This channel is my find of the year! Such good videos, and content. I'm an instant follower! Thank you for sharing your knowledge!
Thank you so much for your kind words! It means a lot to me.

Came over based on a comment made on Wyloch's Armory and was totally hooked by the Diablo theme. I love that game so much! Subscribed!

Love Diablo, real cool way to do a tile set, looked amazing
I'm usually not a fan of clip on doors but these are pretty seamless. Nice build
Beautiful work! I like the planning you put in this. It really paid off in the finished piece.
Some of the most high quality content and craftsmanship I've seen in a long time.
I LOVE how you made the modular doors for this!
Very nice. I wish I saw this video before I started my dungeon tile project a few weeks ago, I would have rethought my whole approach. I really like the colour scheme. I will incorporate more reds and blues in my next set of tiles.

Very detailed and well done. I enjoyed the video.
Wow this is a love for the craft on display here. Nice work man!
Thank you! :)
Wow! LOVE the aesthetic of this! Using cork for the brick is an excellent idea. Great video!
I really like what you did with the door - ingenious!
Well to be fair got the idea from wylochs armory. Just tried to add my own spin on it. Thanks for watching 🙂

cork looks like a fun alternative to foam! i really like how these turned out, especially with those more vibrant colour choices! nice work!
I really like using cork. Personally I prefer the look and the workflow. But foam is still a great solution!
What a great use of materials and ideas for a unique look. Thank you for making this
Thank YOU for watching 🙂
Nice build. Good quality video editing
Wirklich toll gemacht. Finde das Modulare Konzept genial.
That slipover door trick is perfection.
Really enjoyed this video. Inspired me to use 5mm cork for cobblestone streets. Great idea for the clip on doors. Well played.😊
I actually used the 5mm sheet on the base of this miniature:
Buying WARHAMMER is not enough? - Make your OWN Minis!
ua-cam.com/video/dZIgLYS1ElA/v-deo.html
It really works quite well!
Watching this made me dig out my old Diablo DnD book.
Looking forward to the next! Very well done
i wouldve LOVED to have seen some DIABLO 1&2 esq Miniatures inside the Dungeon you made to get a sense of scale and context to what you made!

Well then welcome to Lenric's Realm :)
this is the beginning of a great youtube channel
I love the tile pattern. I will definitely use it in the future.
These look brilliant. I can't imagine how many cork bricks you must have made for this! Great work!
Not so much as you would think I guess. I think I used about three A4 sheets of cork.
such an excellent idea, and great execution
love the cork tile, very cool
Wow, very nice. Lots of great ideas here.
This is AWESOME! congratulations on the amazing work!
Thank you very much!
That came out really nice! Though if I were to do it I'd needa factor in that slight bump by the bottom so everything fits flush against eachother. Still, the set looks great and the colors really pop!

Thank you so much :)
My man, came across by accident but I couldn't stop watching, this is amazing. You are very talented.
What a happy accident! Thank you very much :)
What a lovely set! I look forward to watching the rest of your work!
Very high quality content! DnD is not my thing but I still enjoy watching your videos
This is AMAZING! Love Diablo 1 and you've captured that essence here!

Do it. It can be a very fulfilling hobby. Thank you for watching and your kind words!
I stayed a while and listened. Great idea btw! :-)

This makes me want to create a dungeon set of my own! Really cool!
Amazing and simple to make.
Good call out for Wylock he is one of the best. His stuff isn't he fanciest, but it is very easy to make and very modular. Nice use of the makeup brush, does great for large area drybrush.
This has given me some things to think about, I've just started making the Ultimate Dungeon Terrain (dungeon pizza) and I like this magnetic approach
This was next-level. Truly awe-inspiring. Given this set would cost over $200 from Dwarven Forge, you really nailed it.
Thank you very much!
1000% agree, this is amazing craftsmanship. The price point is irrelevant. How many hours did this take? Honestly, I don't know and I'm not willing to try and estimate. Having the tools, knowledge, materials, and a camera is all you need for greatness.
