    There are so many that are going to 3D printed terrain that it's nice to watch someone handcraft the items

    The first time I heard the term "obelisk" was when I was playing Guantlet, Legends, I think was the edition. So much nostalgia from my childhood. This one is artistically a master piece. You and Greyhawk Grognard are my absolute favorite DND channels to watch. I'd love to play a game session with both of yall, your terrain and Grognard's DM skills would be an awesome combo for a game. 👍

    I'm digging all your builds. A lot of really simple, small structures and pieces added together and the sum is always much greater than the parts.

    Another great build. Pre Mod Podging is a good idea. I've cussed myself out more than once for leaving tight areas that are hard to get a brush into.

    This has quickly become my favorite terrain channel: it looks easy enough to do it in one setting; your voice and the music are super chill; it's simple and beautiful, and it allows me to easily create compact scenes for encounters. 11/10

    This really came to life throughout the video! Good call on adding platforms vs. ladders. It really pushes the sense of verticality IMO. I like the bit about the fox living under one of them too. Overall another solid build!

      That's a great idea! It would be cool to make a bunch of smaller pieces as borderland markers. Maybe I will create a piece featuring a signal fire.

      I mix 50/50 PVA and Mod Podge. As Clay stated below, the mix will last a long time if you keep it sealed. I have mine in a cottage cheese container and it's at least six months old.
