The first time I saw Professor Dungeon Master's Ultimate Dungeon Terrain for D&D & Pathfinder, I knew I had to make a set of my own. Join me as I walk you through the best of the best of D&D Terrain inspired by the Dungeon Craft's Dungeon Pizza.
Using a combination of a metal pizza pan and scatter terrain based on top of magnets, you get a portable, simple to put up D&D terrain system. This stuff won't tip over on you or get knocked over when someone bumps the dining table. It's really cheap and easy to make as well!
The Professor has a ton more videos on the subject over on his channel, which you should go check out in this playlist. • Playlist

Wow! Professor Dungeonmaster gives these a rare A+.
Thank you sir!
A great concept..... Executed in a great way..... Magnets! Who would of thought Dungeon Pizza would go Magnetized! Makes me regret my digital set up.
100% agree with Professor Dungeon Master, you knocked this out of the park!
The most terrifying thing in DnD:
When the DM randomly rolls the dice, frowns, then continues on like nothing happened.
Sometimes they do it just to mess with you :)
Back in the day they called that the 'Evil chuckle and dice rolling trick.'
I sometimes toss in a flat "oh" after asking for a roll, then laugh and say you saw nothing. We gotta keep you players on your toes.
@@angrytheclown801 That's cruel.
@@ariandynas Sometimes you gotta be cruel to be kind.
I really love this Idea, because then it is up to the players in a dungeon crawl to be making their own map. The "spotlight" just follows them and is always represented by that circular space. If they want to double back or figure out an alternate route they'll need to consult their own handiwork.
I love the circle idea but I'd probably end up getting rectangle pans since I'm a grid headed monster
Cookie pans! Brilliant
Grids are good. Grids are nice. Also you can create crazy ass maps with grid maps.
Grids are superior for technical crazy people like me. (and probably you)
@@nathandavis7761 Yep, I even have a theory that grids promote better game play. Sure, hex maps and open maps are more accurate; but its the limitations that make for more compelling movement.
@@nathandavis7761 Of course, if you do wargaming and/or play 5e anyway, you might rather use a ruler than a grid since (trivia) in 5e the grid is a recognized house rule, not the standard, and you run on distance instead.
As a newer DM with not a lot of money in their pockets, this is amazing. I've got the crafting skills that I can put to use for this. If you get the chance, please make more videos like this regarding other terrain and things. I'd love to see them!
Thanks Sam! I have more ideas for terrain like this in the future
Ok. A circular game space is so simple and genius. Holy crap I'm in love and will spend the next week making basic terrain types
“Wish i had more patience” he says as he puts more effort into a tree than i do planning my next session
The tree basing is great; especially the way that it thickened up and textured the trunks of the trees.
"I'll have a Dungeon Pizza with extra Gelatinous Cubes."
That's like putting pineapple on pizza, I love it!
For the non-crafty, non-3d-printery ones among us that want all these terrain knickknacks you have some options:
* Multiple companies sell premade terrain, the one that jumps to my mind because it's recent is Mantic's Terrain Crate boxes but there's quite a few, just buy the stuff, add the magnets, done.
* Go to Etsy, there's a lot of people making and selling these things for a fair price. Again, just add magnets.
* Check if you have a local makerspace or a service to print stuff, then go to Thingiverse or something, get some scatter and get it printed there. I'd incluse Shapeways and similar services here. Again, add magnets.
* Get a crafty friend to make them for you, for a change they'd add the magnets :P
Absolutely, good outline! There's many places to get furniture like this, go out there and explore!
I have modular tiles that I've made from scratch and really, absolutely adore. But holy hell I'll be making 50 of those trays anyway. I have no problem with using my warm stone brick flooring everywhere and just saying "pretend you're in the snow" or "look out, this area is flooded," but having the visual effect is so much nicer and one snow based pizza saves me time making 20 snow themed tiles
I have 6, dual sided circle terrains- so much fun to mix it with a lazy susan and scatter terrain - perfect for improvised combat. using metal and magnates is clever af.
Love of magnets + dungeon craft... A New Highscore!
Thanks for sharing these, great idea!
Glad you like them!
I'm so glad I found this video. I was gonna make my magnetic dungeon pizza by cutting sheet metal. The pizza pan is genius and will save me so much tin snip cramping.
Fantastic! Yeah, the form factor is right there for the taking.
I've only DM'd once before and it was 8 years ago. I also have zero crafting skills, own absolutely no crafting equipment, I have no idea what you're talking a lot of the time (hobby knife? mod podge? flocking? wet blending?), and I probably don't have enough time to learn how to craft cool things in addition to the other hobbies and responsibilities that I have, as well as learning to be a DM in the first place.
But I'm a really DIY-oriented person, and the quality of this stuff is making me drool. I am so tempted to give this a shot...
If you want one large version for your table top, I'm considering making a two sided one using a metal dog crate tray that's 20.5" W x 29.5" long. Or I was considering using side by side cookie sheets for larger environments. Either way these seem really cool and this opens up so many more possibilities with sets and environments.
I’m super inspired to try this. Would be good as another tool in the kit. I feel like it’s relatively costly and time consuming. But once it’s done there would be no better terrain for unprepared encounters
those pizza trays are an awesome idea and the scatter terrain suits it perfectly
I’ve only made one dungeon pizza so far, though I eschewed a physical texture for a printed one that I covered in lamination sheets. Not quite as nice looking, but I can use dry erase markers on it for quick notes, extra details, areas of effect, etc.
These look really good. The only issue I am seeing is they do not support small spaces, like corridors, very well without additional walls. Plus I can see some issues if the group is not all near each other and fighting the same thing.
Love your trees.
You’re a true Artist and Master of your craft. I’m sincerely impressed.
I love that you use Mindthief and Scoundrel
yep, gonna save this video, great job never thought about using Pizza trays! I am in the Navy and about to deploy and I have been trying to think of ways to play at sea, this magnet/pizza tray idea will be great! if something happens while at sea we can just simply pick up the pizza tray and stash it away! with the pieces still attached!
This video had no right being this entertaining:) We are making terrain! Great job.
Awesome! Thank you!
I'm never gonna make this with my 2 left hands but I do very much enjoy watching someone do something well
I like this concept...gotta try this. Thanks for the link to the Professor and the video.
Cheers!
OMG the pizza plate hack genius
Great stuff! A definite step up from the large sewing grid (yet another folded board!) and dominoes we used to use to delineate dungeons way back in the Dark Ages™ (1979). The Ultimate Dungeon Terrain is a great concept but one that still makes me say "I don't see any frogmen with explosives" when I see it written as UDT. ;-D I am happy that the trend over the last 40 years has been to make terrain that looks much more like a diorama but is still playable. Cheers!
Haha, yeah! Crafting stuff has come a long way. In another couple of years, we will have hyper detailed stuff like the train/diorama builders do.
Reminds me of random encounter stages from jrpgs like saga frontier. I can already hear the music!
These are fantastic, will definitely try some of these out. Been making some houses from sprues and model boxes but can’t wait to try the pizza tray one
This looks awesome! I'm very inspired to try it myself now :)
With hard work, endless amounts of time, and resources, anything is possible.
That eva stuff is awesome!
Love the colors on the grass pizza........wait 😏
Heh, missed joke opportunities there. Thanks!
Genius, I like this a lot. Going to try this out myself for sure.
First, let me say this is great. I also thing with this approach if you needed to ever get more technical with a scene you can create thin sheets of clear plastic that you can draw and mark up with a dry erase marker, or pre-stage scenes they've not yet seen with magnets connecting furniture and walls to either side of the clear plate to hold them in place. This way you can do easy swap outs and the process would be more versatile for a greater length of a long session.
For sizing you could also go with Cookie Sheets. Equally cheap to buy, fits the full length of the pva foam, and you can create scenes that require a bit more size, like Docks and cathedrals. Again though. This is great, and really just opening up a bunch of ideas for me. Thank you.
This is bloody brilliant!
Definitely going to try this!
you wife when your making the pizza pan trays : where's my makeup brush...
This looks amazing, your players are lucky to have such a considerate DM, I however would have 0 motivation to do all that stuff - I bearly got into paiting minis recently, and still don't really have time to do it. But more power to you dude, it's really admirable, just not for everyone.
I've done something similar on smaller scale with blank CDs but instead of the centerpiece they're scatter terrain for a tabletop war game (think 40k set in LotR) for randomized battlefields.
Process:
1) slather the "top" (not the side that stores the data) with some elmer's glue and get it spread over the whole surface, slap on some notebook paper and let it dry.
2) Cut styrofoam - the beady stuff that usually gets used for packing/shipping works fine for this, the key is a sharp blade! - into various rock shapes and arrange as desired before gluing to the dried notebook paper. Don't worry about your rocks looking perfect!
3) Once they're dry gloob a nice helping of spackle onto the rocks/CD and fill in any gaps between your styrofoam you don't want before spreading it to the edge of the CD for some nice texture/ground variation.
4) When the spackle is dry hit the whole thing with 2-3 coats of mod podge.
5) With our protective layer dry, you're ready to move on to paint and flocking!
Solid set of tips.
That was some pretty creative and cool modifications to UDT!
This is a great idea, I only use figures to visualise locations on maps (which are rough pencil drawings) or to help players keep track of who's attacking who in combat so this would be great for that sort of thing
Gonna have a mess around with some eva foam and a heat gun after this. Keep em coming
Give it a go Bill! Excited to see what you make.
WOW. Great video. Thanks.
Very good Knarby! 🐶🥰
Brilliant video, as always
Thanks again!
Brilliant idea using cheap pizza pans for your UDT! Earned a sub from me!
This is maybe a simple concept but oh god i feel so dumb now to never, ever even consider something like that. This is perfect for me, thank you
Love your work man
Those look really good. Actually using pizza pans is a brilliant idea!
Thanks Guy!
Love the trees! Great video my man!
Thanks Troy!
geniusly simple! love your chanel
Hehe this vid got my creative juices flowing, love the idea 🤘🏻👍🏻
The moment I saw Dollarama I knew it was going to be good
Actual pizza pans... genius!
Very cool ideas!
I like the pizza pan rooms, I might replicate or make something myself, wood love to see a deep sea version with coral and amenities
This pizza plate thing is genius!!! No perfectly crafted houses that you'll stop using after that campaign is done. I'm dying to get a group together and make this for everyone
I use the same pizza box as a stand for spray painting my minis haha, I love Gino's
I find that swearing a lot is a good substitute for patience.
my cheap sculpting paste is blened news paper in water strain out the extra water and mix in a crap tone of glue and I added dollar store sand then you just slap it on and if you want bigger arias I suggest using like cardboard to make it higher then added the mix the thicker it is the loner it takes to dry but it works and it's cheap
"Only to air brush then back to brown for that natural wood color... which they started out with." Lmao
I learn alot thanks
My fuse went during this video. Clearly too awesome for my house’s wiring
LOL, I hope you were able to fix it.
Love the painted Gloomhaven minis
Very clever idea. Would love to see some sci-fi versions of this .....
Beautiful.
Nice and easy idea!
I just got big ball baring myself and placed big round table. That way you can use any shape field and rotate table. Only downside you need to make second table (I made mine blend in) that is almost like a crocodile mouth over original table with ball barings on upper side that overlaps. So when it rotate the DM screen doesn't move.
I kinda wanna see a picture of this. Sounds super interesting
This was awesome
nice creative!
Some really good ideas thank you
Thanks for watching!
Very cool!
When I start making mine I might experiment with putting rubber feet so they dont spin when touched
Magnets are genious, thanks!
I’ve been missing out. I feel like there are a few episodes I have to catch up on. These are the best versions I’ve seen of the DUT
Thanks Franky. Totally wanted to make myself a set when I saw Dungeon Craft's idea.
I'm a simple man.
You reference Professor DM, I like
Great way to use UDT and magnets by using pizza pans with easy to use thin foam. Using the pans make a thinner UDT, light weight and survives transport. Now if you make six or more, stack them and plan to fly it could involve a bag check. Will be making a few of these, thanks.
Nice!
real nice
Crushed that like button because I need patience. The proof? I've had this tab open for 3 weeks and haven't had the patience to sit down and check it out until today :P
This video need more views
awesome. doing this.
very cool.
I had several squares of wood lying around so I used those instead of pizza pans. they equate to 16" x 15" boards... fits perfectly on the table we play at with players stat sheets able to go on the table as well.
Great idea!
D&D pizza is a neat idea
Impressive.
For Trees, you can buy cheap dried mosses at most crafts store, or even walmart. find something that fits your tree idea. Personally, i use reindeer moss and Sphagnum moss.
Yeah! I've been using moss recently for this purpose, it looks great!
@@KnarbMakes Best part is, its not hard to go out and find moss that you can grow in a culture (just look up any video on making terrariums, and the channel will usually have a video on moss culturing) and then drying is really easy too.
so you can actually get an unlimited supply of moss, if you put the effort into it, without really investing much money at all.
I see that ginos box!! A fellow Canadian
Nice.
My first few months of starting with my friends I used these metal book cases and harry potter characters from a harry potter monopoly board
Best way to get a like, I swear. XD Genius.
Well done! Me likey...
This is awesome. Any ideas for making them double-sided, or could several of them stack safely on top of one another for storage and transportation purposes?
I stack mine and they store fine!
How do you manage space? There is no grid system. Do you have like clear overlays you can hold? Fantastic job!
Great video! The only question I had was what thickness of eva foam you used/ does it matter
I used the thinnest one I could find. The only thing thickness affects is the strength of the magnets through to the pan.
Hey can you incorporate backflow incense cones into these as like a mysterious mist?
wow... i mean, who doesn't like pizza? specially if they look this yummy (in a geek way)! :D
once again, top notch content! glad (and very thankful) i discovered your channel!!
Thank you 😋
This is awesome. Did you just put these on top of a lazy susan? is it magnetically attached?
did the work for you guys, you only need 6,782,999,991 coats of varnish.
