OH MY GOSH I had never thought about using wrapping paper as a battle mat! It's genius!!!
Glad I could share it ❤️
Back in the day, wrapping paper didn't have grid on the back side. I'm pretty sure we would have jumped onto it at the time. And yes, pure genius. I'm going to look into having several sheets laminated, in case I need to do something on the fly, but you can bet I'll be picking up several rolls of paper today.
In Germany we don't have the grid on the back. Such a shame
Please keep doing more projects like this! It's fun seeing someone who can run a game with these price restrictions!
What I did for the maps. Draw an outside view. Then inside based on how many rooms. When the players enter a new room then I place down the room. Instead of lifting cards to reveal what is inside.
I've been using wrapping paper for years people are always shocked when I tell them. Very nice to someone sharing how to budget game
Back in the day, it didn't come with the grid, or I would have been using it that way. I'm glad it does now, it's a great budget friendly tool now that I'm getting back into being a DM.
The wrapping paper idea is genius! And right after I just dropped $20 on a battlemat🤦🏼♂️😂
Happy I could pass on the wisdom 😌 🙏
@@ZipperonDisney One thing I would suggest next time you do something like this is to have it laminated at a Christian bookstore.
They usually let you laminate large items for very cheap. 😁
Battlemat does get multiple uses so don’t worry! Haha I’ve had mine for years and years!
Just for S&G's, I called the UPS Store to ask how much it would cost to laminate two 30x48 sections. The cost came out to just under $100 each. The thought being I had something more sturdy as well as dry erase friendly. I think I'll stick to my dollar store markers and paper. Besides, if I save the maps, I can reuse them in the future and save even more money.
@@ericg7183 Try Christian book stores they sometimes will let you laminate large items for very cheap.
I am a theatre of the mind DM, but there is great inspiration in here to help paint the picture in the players head. The npcs, monsters and general maps at least are awesome.
The beads though look sick.
I love the beads. I made another set for my friend years ago, and I was happy to have an excuse to make some for myself
@@ZipperonDisney just to be clear, my comment about the beads was super positive. They look great.
Those glass beads are effing gorgeous! Next time at the crafts store, gonna pick some up 😊
Excellent!! I'd love to see some pics when you do!
This makes me want to play in person. I haven’t had a chance to play in person since the pandemic started. This looks like a great budget way to create an amazing experience for players in person.
Wow the government really has a control on your life.
Fantastic. I'm an avid scenery builder myself, but I'm often told how daunting the hobby (of building stuff) looks from the outside. This makes it so much more accessible
Well said! I was hoping to give new DMs a solid jumping off point because I know getting all set up can seem impossible!
@@ZipperonDisney first time in over a year I've added a video to my "New to DMing?" Playlist th-cam.com/play/PLKZ4vVVgpvHXa5ZqeMQVpqrs1B_MsOFF_.html
Referred here by Sly Flourish and boy was it even better than I imagined! What a great video and truly inspiration!
This video was actually really inspiring. Like other comments, wrapping paper is the biggest takeaway
I love the balance you strike between effort and ease. Enough terrain and details to enhance play but not so much that it becomes a full time job. Your drawings are actually really nice.
Thank you! Glad you enjoy it!
Maaan, you single handedly made me want to play D&D again, which hasn't happened in years that I've enjoyed playing other TTRPGs. Congratulations, your maps, accessories, drawings and your crafty ideas are really lovely, I have a lot of fun discovering your content. Keep up the good work !
(and please move to France next to my house, would love to play at your table :D )
Merci! J'ai content que ces videos vous envie donne jouer au jeu!
Very clever. A great video topic that goes beyond the standard stuff people make on TH-cam.
Thanks! That's what I try for. I know there are a lot of cheap mini vids, but I liked pairing it w the starter set
This is why I love D&D
I can't wait for this guy to hit 100k he deserves it...the random dice map generation videos are so fun and helpful
thank you! hope to get there
The index cards made me think of Pokémon. Imagine Pokémon they game esque combat, with all the options laid out, and you can choose quickly, instead of having to cycle through the options in your mind. And if your stuck,just pick one at random.
I never knew some wrapping paper had 1 inch square grid work! While I want to put my miniatures to use, the glass beads with paint are not bad to distinguish great axe from shield/sword from polearm or beast, maybe a lightning bolt for arcane casters or holy symbol for clerics. I suggest using different background colors to distinguish swords man 1 from 2 or 3 and so forth. guess the clear nail polish helps them keep the drawing as the beads rub against each other in transit.
great ideas! Try them out when you make a set!
Ketchup and mustard as paint? Brilliant!
Seriously though. Everything really is brilliant.
I love the minimalist approach.
If you watch my encounter Shorts I usually use full minis and terrain, so this was a nice change of pace for me
Those glassbead minis are AMAZING!!! I need to try that. (=
Super creative and inspiring. Love the content. Keep it up!
Thank you! Would love to hear if you put any of this into use!
Awesome vid! It makes me tempted to try and play with minis again once my groups are back in person. You usually have such awesome terrain in your videos I'd love to see more terrain making videos!
Most of what I know I learned from other youtubers. I made a compilation vid from it: th-cam.com/video/x0DXYnZyRzo/w-d-xo.html
I love sparky's little gremlin's face
Ha! I spotted a redraw of my Jiro the Kobold piece at 4:55. 🙂 Some really cool stuff here.
That's pretty great. Minis and terrain that are super detailed tend to take over the imagination - they "become" the action in the player's mind. Less detailed, but still polished, stuff like this leaves room for the imagination to take over.
Yes! Exactly this!
I feel similarly about video games. Older games left more to the imagination.
''not going to win any awards for my drawings'' and here I am looking at you thinking ''fuck if I could even draw half as well''
Well thanks! 😊
Awesome! Do you have any videos on how you make and paint the items and monsters using the clear stones? That is really cool but it went a little fast for me
I'm a new player and want to play with my friends and this video is excellent to help them visualize the scenery,
This is great: I'm also a crafter and I have everything in the video at hand. Thanks for sharing this way I don't have to spend more than what I already have.🥳
I’m definitely going to use glass beads to make tokens. That’s brilliant.
Wonderful! They're one of my favorite crafts
Was that Captain Moonscar from Scooby Doo on Zombie Island? (also, the glass bead concept is FANTASTIC. I use colored ones for my games but I never thought to paint the bottoms!!!!)
Im starting my first campaign in a few days. Thank you so much :)
This content got me excited. You make great content brother.
I appreciate that!
Really well done and inspiring! Using wrapping paper that has 1 inch squares on the back is genius!
Some of your shots and editing choices were rather neat. Also the beads are such a good idea.
Thanks! I had a lot of fun editing this vid. Much more so than the talking head ones
Your drawings are awesome! The materials look very nice as well
Thank you!!
Yeah I love it! So good it's a great start and you can build easily from there with these skills
Excellent work on such a cheap budget!
Why thank you Graham 😊
Amazing job! This is a great video to show how easy it truly is.
Thanks ❤️
An idea I got from someone on reddit, use little pictures of the monsters and glue them to the bottom of the glass pieces facing up.
I've heard cutting out MTG commons and gluing them on 1" washers too
What an awesome and thoughtful way to setup! This looks great
Thanks so much! I'm glad you like it. If you give it a try, please share some pics
This is awesome! Amazing work!
Thank you! Cheers!
Tremendous stuff! I've talked to several people that are put off from trying D&D because they think it's expensive. Don't get me wrong, miniatures are rad and I love painting them but they're far from necessary. Kudos for showing new players some awesome alternatives!
That's exactly what I'm hoping to do with this vid 🙏❤️
'Not gonna win an award for my artwork anytime soon'........
Proceeds to draw an octopus better than anything I have ever drawn ever
Absolutely amazing work!
Thank you! 😊
Oh my goodness - this rocks - thank you for these stellar ideas!
Glad you liked it 😁
this is amazing! i'm about to start running this story with my friends as our first dnd game. my only gripe is that i wish you had gone into a bit more detail about what you were making and how many of each piece we need, the glass beads for example. i know this is already a year old but would it be possible for you to make like an inventory list of everything you made in this video for the game?
I don't remember, sorry. I think I just counted the max creatures in each encounter and made a bead for each
This is amazing. Can't wait to try this out, thank you so much!
Let me know how it works out for you!
Love what you do! Thanks for all the work and care you put into these videos :)
Thank YOU for watching 😁
Love this, never played dnd but really want to
I seriously love these videos. Please do more of them!!
I have a D&D Crafts playlist on my channel. You might also like DMScotty of @TheDMsCraft
Outstanding!! Thanks for the inspiration and this excellent content.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Wish they had hex grid wrapping paper!
Right?!
This was an excellent video and I appreciate it!
You folks over seas have no idea how fortunate you are with these prices, lol.
Cool video, man!
This is a brilliant video! Great work! Subscribed!
Thanks! Welcome aboard! 😁
4:41 Didn't realize that the new adventure was on moonscar island 😆
Wait, your dollar store doesn't have cheap paints?
Also, I have heard of using glass beads as markers, but never thought of painting them... so much easier than hunting more colours
Nicely done!
Thank you! You planning on running Stormwreck Isle?
@@ZipperonDisney not currently, but I learned cool crafting hacks from the video
Great inspirational video
Thanks!
Effin' great work! This is awesome!
Too awesome for words. Great job!
Glad you like it! Would love to see some pics if you ever craft something!
So I put together a shopping list, and set out yesterday morning to get at least part of this accomplished. At Dollar Tree, I picked up markers, the nail polish, the wrapping paper, some various size head paint brushes, and a 5-pack of snack sized Heath bars. Don't judge. I then went to Walmart, and picked up several bottles of acrylic paints. The ONLY place I could find the flat glass marbles online, aside from Amazon, was Michael's, and that is across town. Instead, I went to Hobby Lobby, where I found the roughly 25mm size, which is what I wanted, and even better, they are currently on sale 40% off.
So I spent the rest of the early afternoon making my tokens. I'm not artistic, at all. Stick figures, at best. So I decided to go with some generic icons to represent three different monster categories. I used crossed swords to represent humanoid monsters, animal paws for animals, and a rough drawing of a crown for the minor bosses. Since this will be the first campaign with a new group, and one new to 5e, I'll be running the Lost Mine of Phandelver adventure, so I also made one token for the human fighter they will need to rescue. I painted the bottom of his token yellow, though in the future I think I will go with more of an orange-yellow. For monsters, they got red. Lastly, I covered each side with the clear nail polish and let it all dry.
Aside from my crude icons, they look really good. I may practice more, and I will likely make a bunch more of these to serve as minions for larger scale battles. I'll probably go with a skull to represent undead when I make those. I have to draw out the maps on the wrapping paper next. I just have to worry about two maps to start, and I may connect my TV to my computer and project the digital maps to it, and tape on the paper so I can trace the rough image. Again, I'm not an artist lol.
The one thing I didn't do was get the extra large popsicle sticks. I couldn't find any in the stores, and I forgot to look for them online. It's not that big a deal, but I do want to become more craft-ish. But I'm glad this video just randomly popped up as a suggestion. I wouldn't have found it otherwise, and I would be scratching my head over how I was going to afford the things I would need to better entertain my group.
This is great! I'm so happy to hear this vid helped you out. Your group is gonna love it. And tracing the maps over a TV display is a GREAT idea!! I would love to see some pics of the crafts, especially the beads. If you're on Discord here's my server -> discord.gg/6ywZ9EPU
SlyFlourish sent me, amazing work! Inspiring stuff 😊
Glad you like it! Be sure to check out some of the other stuff on the channel too 😁
@@ZipperonDisney smashing subscribe now 😊
Amazing!! Great work bro
Hope you use some of this!
Thanks so much for this awesome idea! Im currently making these up for our first session on the weekend! What are the tokens on the far right? The rest make sense but i can't work out what those are for
Great vid!
Thanks! I saw you comment on Sly Florish too, I'm happy you enjoy my content ☺️
This is fantastic!!! Well done.
This is fantastic! Thank you! Is there any place where I can find a list of the glass bead characters and symbols you made and what they were used for in the game? I am just learning with my son and will try to be the dungeon master for the first time. We got all the supplies, but I am still a tad confused. For example, in your photo, you have the three zombie sailors with 3 additional glass bead symbols. If anyone can help, I would appreciate it!
The 3 additional beads are the players' "minis" fighting the zombies. He's using the cardboard terrain to create the beach they're fighting on.
This is awesome! I'm sure the same idea can be applied to Spelljammer then?
Don't see why not!
@@ZipperonDisney Awesome! Thanks then haha, appreciate it! I'll ne sure to implement it in my Spelljammer campaign then!
Petition to change it to the Dollar-Twenty-Five-Cent Store
Wry creative!
Lol very creative!
hahahahah "put it in O for onward" 😂
Glad somebody laughed 😁
@@ZipperonDisney yeah onward was actually brought me in to d&d
This is an awesome idea for a kids set.
You are amazing!
Can you do one for the dragon of icespire peak essentials kit. I just started playing and really enjoyed this video.
It'd probably be pretty much the same
Ok thank you for replying.@@ZipperonDisney
This was great. ❤
Thanks!
Hey man I love this video! I am expecting my Starter Set to arrive next week and wanted to know if you could provide a list of the exact monster count that are in this set so I can start making my own monster tokens. It would really help me a lot. Thanks
I think I made 5 of each and had enough. Here's a still from the video for the one off tokens discord.com/channels/836968542150328381/962334644525756456/1006605585787146261
Awesome.
This is great
the dreadful monster drawings are very 1e, very retro
Nice!!
Super f'n clever!
Thanks m8!
glass beads, huh. where the heck do I find those?
Nice! What time does the game start?
F$^# the algorithm I needed this like 2 days ago!
What are the dog paw ones?
My DM just uses his son's lego minifigures LOL
OH NO! My car doesn't have an 'O' gear! Now I'm never going to be able to follow along :(
Oh no!
I’m trying to learn to be the DM from this game and I’ve never played before. I also haven’t got the book, I’ve just ordered it so I want to be prepared.
I thought I could help you maybe see the struggles I’m going through with understanding this video 😊
So main thing I am battling with understanding is the enemy tokens and the symbols on them. The 8 differently coloured tokens I have no idea what they represent.. maybe the characters, but there are only five characters, so I think that needs further explanation.
Also I couldn’t for the life of me figure out what you used the wrapping paper for until I read the comments, I just got poster boards for it. Maybe it’s me but I thought it could be clearer that you’re using it as the map paper.
I don’t know, maybe I’m just bad at learning 😂but those are my tips
The cheese 🧀 token, no idea what that represents but I know once I find out I’m going to laugh at myself for calling it the cheese 🧀 token
Or you could had done all of it with index cards ala ICRPG style... Regardless, great material here homie
Cool
I don’t have the artistic ability to do that though
when was the last time you tried?
@@ZipperonDisney last month
I can not draw or paint worth a crap
Oh no not dollar tree actually that's a great idea.
Best place to get inspired for craft ideas
What if... i am not skilled enough to draw like that?
Trace! Or just try - your friends won't really care :) I also have a whole playlist on how to draw battle maps on the channel
I used my copy machine
wow
Alternatively, and hear me out, you could spend hundreds and get addicted to 3d printing in resin.
And hundreds of hours fiddling with it to try and get good sculpts that don't fall apart 3 hours into the print job
Roma chto ti delaesh
Just awesome
If you give anything a try, I'd love to see it
@@ZipperonDisney will do! And I also follow Matt Perkins and have liked the work you guys have done together.
