Of all the spells in Frostgrave, Fog seems to be the main one I hear people asking about how to best represent it on the table. This is a great easy way to do it! Also, I’m excited about the hint of Frostgrave season 3!👍
Thanks Alan! Fog is still odd, since models can pass through the spell. It’s not a “perfect” spell effect to show on the table, but it will work for my table.
Great work, as always!
For crumble:
Just make thin doorways with a glowing center... like a magical gate/portal. Place one on either side of the obstacle terrain. You could even paint one orange and one blue... like the Portal video game.
For the floor, paint a black disk and put rubble around the edges.
Direden! This is a really solid idea. Might have to steal this one! 🤓
Go for it!
My CZcams channel is all about D&D. So, the majority of my time is spent on 5e, Shadowdark, and ICRPG. My oldest son loves Star Wars Legion, that's the tabletop game I play most often. It's rare that I get to play Frostgrave. So, I live vicariously through your channel 😀 Keep up the good work!
Big shot with his fancy fog, excellent video.
Thanks Monster Painter! Appreciate it buddy!
Should have known that "I'm done with ruins" didn't mean "I'm done with foam bricks"! Those all look very good.
As for crumble, consider this: put bricks on bright green cardstock so it's a green screen. Go mad as editing times explode. Make a pact with the elder gods. Take over the world.
AHhaa! Interesting "crumble" idea! And glad you enjoyed the project Keggers, it was a fun one!
Goddamnit CZcams! I wanted to see this!
I play Frostgrave every week and I love this channel.
And this channel loves you 🥹
One way to do "Crumble" might be to create a loose ring of stones using the foam bricks. Maybe adhered to some wire or card stock frame. This can be plopped around a mini (for floor-cast Crumbles) or leaned against a piece of terrain (for holes in walls).
Actually, now that I'm thinking about it, you might be able to make the ring out of unscented cat litter (if it says "Ingredients: Fuller's Earth" and nothing else, you've got the right stuff; I bought one bag from Walmart, and it's all the tiny rocks I'll ever need). Maybe create a ring of hot glue on a sheet of parchment paper, then pour the fuller's earth over it. Repeat on the reverse side if you like. Again, a loop of wire could serve as a frame for this, for stability.
Oooh very interesting! Thanks for the thoughts and ideas! 🤓
For Crumble, my first idea would be to use thin acrylic sheets. If you could cut them into the shape of doorways or holes and tint them with a Speedpaint or ink, then the spell would likely fit no matter the terrain type.
OOoh! Not a bad idea at all! ☃️
Great video mate, all the spells
Thanks Nate! Appreciate it buddy!
I dig it. Great production and great build!
Much appreciated! Glad you enjoyed the builds.
Commenting before watching - am playing D&D right now but watching this right after
Have a good session Robbie!
Oh that was worth taking the time to watch properly 😍 thank you Donny! As for Crumble - how about making it look like the terrain has just imploded - so like rubble placed in an explosive fashion, perhaps centred on some glowing magic stuff??
These are sweet! Now I want to redo my Explosive Runes, because yours look much better. :)
Let's see, some good visible spell effects you haven't done yet:
Elemental Shield
Illusionary Soldier
Glow
Bones of the Earth
Furious Quill
Plague of Insects
Circle of Protection
Meteor Strike
Lots of possibilities!
Thanks Manjr! Looking forward to getting some of those spells off the list as well!
Crumble token for the tabletop, as in the hole you can open under a figure. Make a flat circular token. Glue on rocks, rubble, sand, dirt, chunks of flat cork with jagged edges. Have the cork turned up so they stick up out of the base. Leave a flat, empty circle inside of it. Paint the whole thing black. Zenithal prime the ring of rubble around it. Leaving the center black. Paint the rubble to look like rubble and disturbed ground. Then you have a hole that just opened up on the terrain. I suppose if you made the same thing with the center part painted to look like a window, sky blue towards the top, browns and greys to look like ground towards the bottom, a pale blue grey horizon line. You could use it to represent the hole magically created in the wall. Make the bottom edge attached to a half round base so you can push it flat to a wall. Make them in pairs so one goes on one side of the wall and the other matches up on the other side.
Wow! Amazing thoughts and advice! Appreciate the message and input. 😀
@DiceChatter I responded before I read the comments and it looks like at least one person had similar ideas. I'm currently building a multi-use, modular, board set. A ruined city that could be used for numerous games like Frostgrave, Mordheim, D&D. Anything that fits that sort of fantasy medieval theme. Eventually I'll have to tackle stuff like this for Frostgrave. Trying to get a lot of it ready so I can try to hook friends on playing. Easier to do if you have everything ready to go and can teach people to play.
@@looselycollected7505 Funny, you and I seem to be on a similar route with our terrain projects! Don't tell anyone 😂
I'm glad there is someone out there that still has as much love for frostgrave as i do. Another great video my man ☺️👍
Appreciate it buddy! 😃😃
You did the Fog the same way I did mine so many years back, but yours look way better.
It's probably been 5 years since I made them and they're a little ragged so I'll give the stuffing fiber a go.
Great minds think a like! 🥶
Nice work. Ive made a fog wall for my games as well. I thought about using acrylic to craft the bridge spell.
Thank you! And happy to hear other folks are making their own spells as well!
Awesome as always!
Thank you! Cheers!
I always love to see a new dice chatter video in the morning!
Thanks Erik! Happy to make them! 🤓
Love these videos!
More to come!
Thanks a lot for that helpful video. I love frostgrave and your ideas help to increase the immersion so much. They are easy enough to rebuilt and your videos are so entertaining. Looking forward to frostgrave season 3 on the absolutely best YT channel for this awesome game. Thanks for your great work. 👌👏🧙🏻♂️
Pimpmypension, you put a big 'ol smile on my face! Appreciate the kind words, and I am happy to help out where I can! 🧙♂️
More!
Nice!!! I started making some D&D spell effects, but I like the bases you've done far better. Thanks for the ideas and incentive to finish them up.
Hell yeah! Get those spells on the table!
Black construction paper for crumble, placed on the floor or leaned against the wall
Not a bad idea at all!
Huh... I struggled to make the fog spell match the dimmensions and then you're like "Hey dummy make a cardstock template" I mean obviously. Well done Donny.
Thank you Dave! 🤓
Good stuff man! Quick and easy, as all terrain and effects should be!
100% agree!
Awesome stuff a always sir. And I don't recommend Crumble. heheh Well unless you are planning to throw something away. heh.
You got that right! 😅
cool
Flight stands, use clear fork prongs.
Absolutely GENIUS!
man I have not played frostgrave in an age. Is the second edition any better?
Have never played the first, so I may not be the best person to ask, but 2nd Ed is wonderful! 🥶
Wouldn't the crumble spell just be a hammer?
But... All my hard work...
@@DiceChatter Smashing up all of your terrain with a hammer is hard work in and of itself.
