Unfortunately my eyes have a 29.98 fps resolution so I was worried, but being born in the 80s I just blew in a couple NES games blowing dust into my eyes taking them down to 29.91. Video looks great- it's the content sir ;)
"...basically I think forever more. You know for at least the next 8 months." Man I felt that in my soul. Right now this seems great and perfect and give it a little bit and I will have a million little gripes I could fix with it
So years back I was new to D&D and I really bought into the 2.5" tiles with .25" walls concept from this channel. I bought a bunch of True Tiles STLs and 3D printed a gazillion tiles. I actually really enjoyed the clip-on additions and designed a bunch myself in tinkercad - fancy windows, prison bars, vault doors, and so forth. After a few years, I reached the same conclusion as you - trying to make scenarios with shared walls meant needing a lot of tiles and meant I was I always going into the prep for every session wanting to lay out the ENTIRE complex my group would be exploring, which in turn meant needing a TON of tiles. But that also meant reworking every map an adventure included to make "logical" sense with shared walls (because as you said, nobody draws maps with that in mind) which ate up a bunch of time and cost me literal days of tile making. In hindsight, I've decided a few things: 2.5" tiles make every room feel much larger and sparser than modules intend. If you're laying out an entire complex, or even just a moderate sized house, it takes up a LOT of table space. I also realized at one point when I was going to buy some spell templates so my players would know what the cone or radius or line of their attacks would look like... that they wouldn't work with the larger tiles. Similarly, I realized that a lot of other pre-made terrain wouldn't mesh well with the larger square size. Having a metric ton of tiles at that size also meant they took up an ever-increasing amount of storage space. It was hard to improvise encounters because I'd need access to all the different shapes of tiles. It meant bringing all of my tiles if I was DMing at a friend's house. I don't regret making all of the True Tiles, my groups had a lot of fun with them over the years... but I would at least have folks think about what some of the drawbacks are with having an atypically sized tile. At a certain point I just felt like the benefits didn't outweigh the drawbacks I kept running into. I actually really like your approach here that forgoes walls entirely. I think I'm going to make a bunch of these tiles at 2x2 size, but with a wood floor on the reverse side. With these two types of terrain all in one tile, I'd only need a small handful to populate any given room an encounter occurs in.
The double-sided idea def sounds like a neat addition to this no matter what scale ya go for. I'm more into sci-fi stuff like Traveller and Necromunda, but I can see one side of a tile setup being a grated floor akin to Wyloch's old attempt at Zone Mortalis, and another more flat and plated could do well for installations or starships both.
I have a bunch of True tiles also, what I do for a session is build out a few rooms, not connected to each other. put all the bits and bobs in those rooms maybe a bit of forest on the table as well. Theses are just some of the possible rooms they may have encounters in, or maybe not. This way I don't have to lay out the full dungeon or whatever, and it gives my players some eye candy to look at while we play. Some fights are theatre of the mind and some we use some of the places I had build on the table. Oh I never felt like my rooms feel sparse, I have soooo much stuff so the extra room is nice :D
You are a brilliant man, but you were not “wrong” about 1.25” dungeon tiles with walls. They rock. Years ago, not long after you came out with your early videos on the 1.25” grid and walled tiles for clip-on features, I constructed two sets of tiles following your lead and incorporating these features. The first set was all cardboard. The second set was constructed in the BMC style out of 1/2” XPS foam but with your 1/4” walls (also foam) and larger grid; they were also replete with embedded 6x2mm neodymium magnets. Sure, you have to get the ratio right between corner, single-wall, hallway, and (wall-less) field tiles, but my foam tiles combining all these features and a pleasantly realistic stone finish have solved virtually every modular mapping need I have had at the table. Especially with 1.25” grids and terrain providing a more reasonable scale compared to many of today’s nominal 28mm minis, I’ll be sticking with “Wyloch scale” tiles for the rest of my days.
I love Matt and the RP archive, and he is a genius of crafting, but his use of magnets has gone really deep. Magnetising grass and dirt… I think he’ll magnetise his magnets soon
I can’t stand his whole “oh, you don’t actually get good instructions unless you join my Patreon” thing. Just make them regular UA-cam posts and leave Patreon for people that really like it!
@@benkvale6974 he’s got to monetise it somehow. I think his UA-cam stuff is already comprehensive enough- for me personally, too granular and detailed. I don’t need everything down to dirt and grass being magnetised.
For the doors, you could make them swing-able with just a few small additions. 1) In the little gap between the cardboard sheets, you can pop in a toothpick to act as a hinge. 2) On the "bottom" of the door, glue in a bit of metal wire. Make sure the wire works with magnets! 3) Directly in the middle of the base, put in a magnet. This will hold the door "closed." 4) Using the door as a guide, glue the two sides of the doorframe directly to the base. 5) Before putting in the top of the frame, stab the toothpick into the bottom piece of foam. 5) Attach the top of the door frame. Again, stab the toothpick into the top-frame's foam as you do so to complete the hinge. Now you should have a swing-able door that uses the toothpick. When you want the door closed, a magnet will hold the bit of wire you have on the door to keep it shut. Then you can push it open to reveal that it is now an open door. If really desired, a second magnet could be installed to keep the door in an "open" position as well.
Magnet Blocks! 🤦🏻♂️ Fantastic idea! These look great. And i love the secret door too Another fantastic crafting day. Thank you! And definitely looking forward to Neon Skies!!!
i started with your simple how-to vids on tiles and objects, and those videos are fantastic for learning - you do remarkable work even when you limit yourself to "beginner" materials for the sake of newbie crafters. but watching this video after those is like seeing you fire on all cylinders. it's amazing to see what you can really do using all your convenience tools and to your own satisfaction. long time lurker but i had to come out of the woodwork to say your craftsmanship is beautiful, coherent, and practical. cheers!!!
I still love the paper box of clip together tiles I made following your design. For any cave system I use the DM Scotty 2.5d 'half wall' setup. Outdoor is just scatter terrain on table. I appreciate you branching out though. Always more to learn.
Hey wyloch, good to see you improving your techniques and your workspace. I´m glad to have come across your full dungeon videos, great content! Thanks for sharing your work.
I appreciate your creativity and your passion for crafting. It takes a big man to admit that you’re 1.25” tiles sucked. But I appreciate your attempt to innovate. Glad you’re working with the good stuff now.
A fun video. I love when crafters reference other crafters in their space (especially fun whenever I see Black Magic Craft brought up). It's great to see how even the creators we watch get the same inspiration as we do, and I think the deviations you made are good built off of BMC's work and help show people how they don't have to just copy tutorials but expand upon them to make them work for them. And I definitely had a bit of concern when you were talking up the (heavy) marble craft table, but I'm glad to see you're protecting it, lol.
After watching this video a couple of times ( yes, I watched it more than once), I've decided that.... ...you were NOT wrong, about tile construction. You simply found a better way to do it. Don't get me wrong, I still do it the "old-school" way; because I like to take my time at fashioning these tiles, and it's how I first learned about the 1.25 in system.... a system I still (enjoyably) use to this day. But, If I ever get the chance to try this new method...I dunno...I might try to find a way to integrate the two styles; I'm sure there is a method, as-of-yet undiscovered, that hasn't been put together yet. (Pun intended, by the way!) In all, great little video. Thank you for the new method of tile making. Blessings to you!
I get a bunch of vinyl tiles from the dollar store, cut them to shape, and attach them to the bottom of my dungeon tiles (obviously sticky-side against the tile). This gives the tile a little heft and makes it less likely to slide around the table. And if you set a shelf liner on your gaming table, that vinyl will really grip and not move at all, so I didn’t need to use magnets anymore.
"Forevermore, for at least the next 8 months" got me. Great stuff! They look great, I think I like the 2x2 more than the 3x3, and the magnets are clutch. I made a bunch of the 3x3 from Jeremy's videos years ago, and just never use them because rooms in dungeons I want to build end up being 4x4 or 8x8 or 8x4 or whatever.
Thankfully, I work at a sign shop. I can direct print dungeon tiles all day, on 1/8 PVC, (or print on 3M vinyl w/ matte laminate) and apply to 1/8” (or thicker) PVC. Just cut the tiles apart in whatever fashion I like and they look NOICE! Have boxes of them. Because we print on 54” wide vinyl, I fill any “dead space” with tiles. Always have a job you can take advantage of. 😇
Enjoyed this - looking forward to seeing how you put a spin on it going forward. Cave tiles, grass/forest tiles etc. I would also love to see a crafter make a foam block tumbler device using a BINGO spinner - put enclosed, so sort of like a gerbil ball.
Hello, and welcome to Brick Magic Craft. Lol. I gotta say I'm really intrigued by the magna-tile incorporation, I may have to start trolling for a good deal on a bulk buy or thrift shopping.
I still have my old set, love it, but it's also a bit cumbersome to storage. I will be trying this new method, love the magnetic ensambling. Thanks man!
I love this feedback loop between creators, where they can respect and riff off each other for the Greater Good of the Realm. Inspiring and oddly relaxing video - and a great idea for using up those magnatiles that my kids no longer want to play with...
Another banger video.... Cladding..... gotta love every single build with it!! Also I must say... I love the new workshop... makes the videos pop more!!
Thanks for the great video, very inspiring and has given me some ideas for my own tiles! One little tip from the Geek Health & Safety Department: wear some form of mouth/breath protection while airbrushing, in the long term it can cause lung damage. Take care :)
I been holding off on making DND tiles and I'm glad I did, because these tiles are amazing. I been looking at the magnetic blocks now trying to find the perfect set to start the project!
Back to basics always draws the new and old crowd! Would love to see a weekly challenge between youtube "crafters" and "painters" or a reality show where they all stay in the same house for a week! Hilarious!
These are cool tiles, but I gotta admit, the clip on and built in walls were the real zingers that stood out. I think your colors/shading on these tiles is absolutely top tier.
My Son and I have been "Dungeons and Lasers" fans since day one but we still appreciate crafting our own scatter terrain and bits n bobs for decorating our game table.
You inspired me to make my own tiles of 2.5d and then the dreaded covid hit. They have been on a shelf ever since still very proud of the work I did on them.
RP Archive just tested a technique I got supplies for but never used; mixing iron shavings into the material. I wonder if you could to that here so you could magnetize accessories.
Thanks for tackling this again it's always interesting to me to see new ways to make dungeon tiles especially since mine didn't turn out good and I tried replicating one of your old methods😂 I am so glad you're using these magnetic tiles though because my daughter has a whole bunch of them that she doesn't play with any more and so they might get promoted to dungeon tiles😂
Fiddled and fussed with embedding magnets in my tiles (a la RP Archive), but they kept popping out. Never thought about Magna-Tiles (which I already have a ton of). Thank you.
Howdy I went ahead and purchased the tiles linked to Amazon. Just wanted to bring to your attention that they are 3" x 3" and not the recommended 2.5" you mention in the video. For the life of me I could not find any dimensions listed on the product page before I made the purchase. I'm sure I can make these work. Thank you for the video.😀
You stuff is awesome! ...and I guess the Canadian's stuff is good too lol. All joking aside, I do love both of your channels and I'm going to become a supporter as soon as I get paid on the first.
You are 100% right to protect that granite countertop. They are still porous and can stain, especially oil based liquids. Stains can happen but are not very common. Better safe than sorry! 👍👍
Like it. I use these type of tiles but i normally use 3x3 mostly and I do have some that are 1x2 for those hallways that are single file only... :) I also made a large board for taverns and churches if needed. I made 4x4 for boss fights
Already subscribed, did so years ago. So you're getting a like and a comment! I like the new tiles, they are super versa"TILE" (wokka wokka wokka!) And if you ever NEED a wall for some reason you can just slap om in place, either on top of your floor tiles or as a 1 by 2 wall piece like your doors. I may make a few of these myself. I'm still using dungeon tiles I made based on DM Scotty videos I watched 10 or 12 years ago! They are nice, but not THIS nice. P.S. I love the deep resonant "thoom!" sound your countertop makes, don't feel tempted to edit that out. It's great!
If occasionally you still really need a shared wall, you could always make a thin one that goes on top of the tile surface, with a very thing tab at the bottom that wedges in between the tiles?
How are the quartz holding up? I like the idea of using them, I feel like they'll have sharper corners to give a more pronounced rock texture. I'm surprised how much the oil wash lightened up after drying. I guess I'm not use to it on terrain as I am with models.
Came out nice have you thought about a set of these with wood texture on the other side, one set of tiles getts double usage and the wood shouldn't lift two much
Subscribed🎉 Just got started into creating and painting miniatures. I created some walls... dungeon walls out of Jenga blocks. I don't have that much money but I'm going to stay positive over time the hobby will grow. I also don't have anyone to play dungeons & dragons with... But that doesn't matter one day I'll have the ability to craft dungeons on the fly with inspirational videos like this. Trying to get friends into it... I figure if I have really nice set pieces like these dungeon tiles and doorways it'll get new players hooked.
Man that polished granite work table is badass. But putting that cardboard down to protect it feels unworthy of its awesomeness. Adam Savage put a large thin leather “pad” on his custom work bench. Might interest you to do the same and it looks rustic and cool. 👍🏻
Seeing the shirt made mea tear up a little. ❤❤❤ you’re the best!
Oh how the turns have tabled!
😂
Now, strike while the iron is hot and unveil your new chipboard tile system!
😂@@chasonlapointe
😂❤
I filmed this in a more cinematic 29.97 frames per second rather than my usual smooth 60 fps. What do you think of this approach?
Looks great.
I agree this video looked great
I approve and heaven knows my approval is critical to happiness in life.
Unfortunately my eyes have a 29.98 fps resolution so I was worried, but being born in the 80s I just blew in a couple NES games blowing dust into my eyes taking them down to 29.91.
Video looks great- it's the content sir ;)
looks very good on UA-cam
"I'm not a foamsmith, I'm a cardboard man."
Wyloch has the best voiceovers in the business. So pleasant to listen to and watch (and informative!).
I think "Foamsmith" could be a cool T-shirt.
100% best voiceovers. sometimes if im stressed and just need to relax, i put on the complete Tomb of Horrors video and zone out.
"...basically I think forever more. You know for at least the next 8 months."
Man I felt that in my soul. Right now this seems great and perfect and give it a little bit and I will have a million little gripes I could fix with it

I watch too much Wyloch. Definitely sang along with 'that grayish brownish slab you find at the back of a legal pad'
How can you watch too much Wyloch 😊
😂😂
That is just not where I find mine! They come from old sketchbooks.
I love it when crafter creators reference each other in videos. Feels like the old days of the MCU. So, Crafting UA-camr Avengers when?
Craftvengers…. Assemble!
Yeah! We gotta. The UA-cam makers have their secret santa, what about crafters? :D
Just a random comment, but i love how the ads are timed, it doesnt feel rough watching when you see "oh, its only 8 seconds"
Great video Wyloch!
Could you do a follow-up with the triangles and other pieces that come in the magnet blocks?
"I'm a cardboard man" has some There Will Be Blood energy

Should check out what RP Archive is doing with magnets. (Also, your idea of "larger than 1" to allow for interior walls" is still brilliant)
I love Matt and the RP archive, and he is a genius of crafting, but his use of magnets has gone really deep. Magnetising grass and dirt… I think he’ll magnetise his magnets soon

@@nerdmeister9786I won't be surprised if those luscious locks he has emerged from convalescence with are attached to his scalp with magnets

Watching your vids, the talent, the love you put in your crafts... It's such a joy, you're an inspiration!
5:18 Wylock, i LOVE the fact you left that thump in the video. ITs just hilarious.
For the doors, you could make them swing-able with just a few small additions.
1) In the little gap between the cardboard sheets, you can pop in a toothpick to act as a hinge.
2) On the "bottom" of the door, glue in a bit of metal wire. Make sure the wire works with magnets!
3) Directly in the middle of the base, put in a magnet. This will hold the door "closed."
4) Using the door as a guide, glue the two sides of the doorframe directly to the base.
5) Before putting in the top of the frame, stab the toothpick into the bottom piece of foam.
5) Attach the top of the door frame. Again, stab the toothpick into the top-frame's foam as you do so to complete the hinge.
Now you should have a swing-able door that uses the toothpick. When you want the door closed, a magnet will hold the bit of wire you have on the door to keep it shut. Then you can push it open to reveal that it is now an open door. If really desired, a second magnet could be installed to keep the door in an "open" position as well.
Yeah I did a video on open-able doors many years ago. I've not found em to be worth the investment over time but they can be fun to make!
I was trying to enjoy the build but my attention kept getting drawn to the stellar remodel of your workspace. Looks awesome brother.
Magnet Blocks! 🤦🏻♂️ Fantastic idea!
These look great. And i love the secret door too
Another fantastic crafting day.
Thank you! And definitely looking forward to Neon Skies!!!

I missed watching your videos very much! Brings back a certain fond feeling
I get a bunch of vinyl tiles from the dollar store, cut them to shape, and attach them to the bottom of my dungeon tiles (obviously sticky-side against the tile). This gives the tile a little heft and makes it less likely to slide around the table. And if you set a shelf liner on your gaming table, that vinyl will really grip and not move at all, so I didn’t need to use magnets anymore.

Enjoyed this - looking forward to seeing how you put a spin on it going forward. Cave tiles, grass/forest tiles etc. I would also love to see a crafter make a foam block tumbler device using a BINGO spinner - put enclosed, so sort of like a gerbil ball.
Another video so soon? Great!Always good to see a fresh approach on crafting basics...thumbs up!
Loving seeing the godfather of crafting terrain sending back to basics and remaking tiles. Makes me feel like it's ok when I do the same.
Been following you for years, back when you made Warhammer Proxies out of cardboard and foam. Love your stuff! Also your beard looks awesome!

Granite being porous, I'd be worried about maintaining it for something like this even if it's sealed 😬
Oh man I love how these turned out! I've bern thinking that i need some 2x2 myself.😊
Another banger video.... Cladding..... gotta love every single build with it!! Also I must say... I love the new workshop... makes the videos pop more!!
Ok that foam guider for your Proxxon... and you say your not a foamsmith :) You also win an award for the most beautiful worksurface for crafting.
Great work as always they look fantastic. It's fun watching you try another creator's build and putting your own twist on it.
From one cardboard man to another, You still keep me coming back for the good ideas. Magnetic blocks bought..
This turned out great, and I really loved the simplicity of the magnet toy versus individual magnets!
Oh yes, looks amazing. We need more of these video, please!
Well I need to toss my stuff now. I've been working on something like this over the past year. Love your work, thanks for sharing 👍
Using the magnet blocks is brilliant! I'm ordering some today
The new tile methodology looks sweet! And I really like your new take on the doors!
Thanks for the great video, very inspiring and has given me some ideas for my own tiles! One little tip from the Geek Health & Safety Department: wear some form of mouth/breath protection while airbrushing, in the long term it can cause lung damage. Take care :)
Cool episode. It feels good to revisit "the classics", doesn't it? Keep it up Wyloch. I always enjoy what you do.
Excellent video as always. I have went with 3d printing the tiles and using an open lock magnetic clip does the same.
I been holding off on making DND tiles and I'm glad I did, because these tiles are amazing. I been looking at the magnetic blocks now trying to find the perfect set to start the project!
Hey good to see you back. I missed your contact.
Back to basics always draws the new and old crowd! Would love to see a weekly challenge between youtube "crafters" and "painters" or a reality show where they all stay in the same house for a week! Hilarious!

My Son and I have been "Dungeons and Lasers" fans since day one but we still appreciate crafting our own scatter terrain and bits n bobs for decorating our game table.
it's just *fun*
Great video! I'm gonna try to make those tiles, they look amazing!
Great work Wylock, that is a way I never saw before!
You inspired me to make my own tiles of 2.5d and then the dreaded covid hit. They have been on a shelf ever since still very proud of the work I did on them.
RP Archive just tested a technique I got supplies for but never used; mixing iron shavings into the material. I wonder if you could to that here so you could magnetize accessories.
What a joy! I guess I need to try this method out, but I have ~100 tilse from the OG method :)
Hell yeah, new tiles! Never seen the trick with the magnet toy tiles and it has given me ideas!
Thanks for tackling this again it's always interesting to me to see new ways to make dungeon tiles especially since mine didn't turn out good and I tried replicating one of your old methods😂
I am so glad you're using these magnetic tiles though because my daughter has a whole bunch of them that she doesn't play with any more and so they might get promoted to dungeon tiles😂
Fiddled and fussed with embedding magnets in my tiles (a la RP Archive), but they kept popping out. Never thought about Magna-Tiles (which I already have a ton of). Thank you.
Loving the new workshop!
Howdy I went ahead and purchased the tiles linked to Amazon. Just wanted to bring to your attention that they are 3" x 3" and not the recommended 2.5" you mention in the video. For the life of me I could not find any dimensions listed on the product page before I made the purchase. I'm sure I can make these work. Thank you for the video.😀
Oh thank you for the head sup. I'll remove em from the list and try and find a comparable brand....
Ya know, it probably is time for me to try out a new forever tile system. Great video as always, Whyloch
These looks awesome, keep up the hard work bud !!
I wish I would have seen this before dropping money on the wood-machined grid set I recently bought... this looks fantastic
You and the Crazy Canuck are favorite content creators for gaming.
This has re-ignited my urge to craft stuff for D&D. How do you manage crafting with kids? I feel that struggle a lot lol.
You stuff is awesome! ...and I guess the Canadian's stuff is good too lol. All joking aside, I do love both of your channels and I'm going to become a supporter as soon as I get paid on the first.
You are 100% right to protect that granite countertop. They are still porous and can stain, especially oil based liquids. Stains can happen but are not very common. Better safe than sorry! 👍👍
The magnet toys are brilliant!
Excellent video! Going to make these soon.
I love watching the masters learn from each other
nice, love the magnetization solution.
I’ve used old toys my daughter doesn’t use anymore….but the magnetic tiles!!! Never thought of that before!!!
Like it. I use these type of tiles but i normally use 3x3 mostly and I do have some that are 1x2 for those hallways that are single file only... :) I also made a large board for taverns and churches if needed. I made 4x4 for boss fights
Already subscribed, did so years ago. So you're getting a like and a comment! I like the new tiles, they are super versa"TILE" (wokka wokka wokka!) And if you ever NEED a wall for some reason you can just slap om in place, either on top of your floor tiles or as a 1 by 2 wall piece like your doors. I may make a few of these myself. I'm still using dungeon tiles I made based on DM Scotty videos I watched 10 or 12 years ago! They are nice, but not THIS nice. P.S. I love the deep resonant "thoom!" sound your countertop makes, don't feel tempted to edit that out. It's great!
If occasionally you still really need a shared wall, you could always make a thin one that goes on top of the tile surface, with a very thing tab at the bottom that wedges in between the tiles?
Your table looks awesome.
6:02 STOP! RIGHT THERE! It looks like the moon!
How are the quartz holding up? I like the idea of using them, I feel like they'll have sharper corners to give a more pronounced rock texture.
I'm surprised how much the oil wash lightened up after drying. I guess I'm not use to it on terrain as I am with models.
They are not holding up well at all. :-D
No había visto que traes barba, te ves excelente y bastante delgado. Excelente video como siempre
Came out nice have you thought about a set of these with wood texture on the other side, one set of tiles getts double usage and the wood shouldn't lift two much
Where is that castle wall/tower video??
That looks awesome!!

Just got started into creating and painting miniatures. I created some walls... dungeon walls out of Jenga blocks.
I don't have that much money but I'm going to stay positive over time the hobby will grow. I also don't have anyone to play dungeons & dragons with... But that doesn't matter one day I'll have the ability to craft dungeons on the fly with inspirational videos like this. Trying to get friends into it... I figure if I have really nice set pieces like these dungeon tiles and doorways it'll get new players hooked.
The legal pads space marine chapter has to return!!!
I use that texturing technique for small bricks, works fantastically
I also need to find my son's old magna tiles
Really awesome version 😊😊😊
Man that polished granite work table is badass.
But putting that cardboard down to protect it feels unworthy of its awesomeness.
Adam Savage put a large thin leather “pad” on his custom work bench. Might interest you to do the same and it looks rustic and cool. 👍🏻
