Like I said then: it's right up my alley. Keep going - I loved the simplicity of your system actually. I had to put a limit, there was just too much to talk about once we hit 2017 :)

    I'm new to this, but I've been diving deep to find all the information and the right information I need to be able to choose which system(s) I invest my time and money into.
    I noticed you didn't quite understand either of the Axolote systems, Axolote Hex is a hex shaped OpenLock system, and Axolote Oversnap did use a peg system similar to DragonLock's (only on the middle instead of the end of a wall tile) for upward building, but it was actually fully both OpenLock and DragonLock compatible, it's main selling point is that you printed blank walls and floor, and there were interchangeable textures you could swap in and out. Being able to do different textures on each side of a wall, I think was the coolest thing about it.
    I think a video on the compatibility of various systems now would be a cool idea. Every system except tilescape has a magnetic conversion (including downward magnets for compatibility with Dwarven Forge's battleboards), and there are direct conversion clips I've found for OpenLock to DragonLock, OpenLock to InfinityLock, and DragonLock to InfinityLock, like you said, but I've also found OpenLock to TileScape, OpenLock (and I think DragonLock) to WizKid's new WARLock system, and the OpenPeg stuff I could find, when it did have connectors on the bottom, had OpenLock, so OpenPeg is essentially OpenLock compatible, since it's addressing a complete different dimension of the locking problem than OpenLock is.
    So a lot of the systems are compatible with each other now, and though they're not 3D printed, we now have WizKids in the locking dungeon tile space and magnetic compatibility with Dwarven Forge. There's also LastLock, which is supposed to work with and replace the big three (Dragon, Open, and Infinity), and War-Lock Tile's "Bugbear" connector, that's supposed to be some variation of OpenLock, though I'm not sure the difference.
    There are also two systems I found that, by virtue of just doing their own thing, are naturally compatible with all these other systems. DungeonSticks and ScatterBlocks. ScatterBlocks doesn't "lock" at all, and is about ground elevation by stacking rectangular prisms on top of each other, and DungeonSticks, while having a locking mechanism, works by just sitting on top of whatever your floor terrain is, great for natural caverns as it uses a bunch of curvy and windy pieces.
    Basically, I did a whole bunch of research only to find out that you can basically dive in anywhere you want with any modern system, and as you experiement and find what works for you, there are compatibility options between nearly all of them.

    I want to send my overwhelming love for these sorts of videos. It's so interesting joining a hobby and being able to pick up on its history! As for sets, I'm on the fence for how I feel about using purely magnetic connectors, I like that physical feeling of the tiles collecting. I'll honestly accept any future for dungeon tiles, as long as Free and Open Source remains the standard for the vast majority of it.

  • @musicmartins94
    @musicmartins94 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    There are three tile systems that I adore; Openlock, because there's tons and tons of tiles for it, Dragonlock, because it looks cool and I love the company's work in general, and InfinityLock (from DungeonWorks), which is my personal favorite for a simple reason; vertical printing. InfinityLock tiles not only save me time if I need multiple of them at once, but the floor tiles also look much better thanks to the vertical orientation when printing. I'm honestly tempted to try printing DragonLock/OpenLock tiles vertically, even if they're not meant for that, just to see if it's possible

    • @G0ldmoon
      @G0ldmoon 5 ปีที่แล้ว +8

      I have been looking for a while, and I think your video confirmed it. I think the community is missing skins, or surface plates. Something that could be printed quicker and glued to cardboard or Foam like Black magic craft or wylock uses. Being able to print a 1-2mm thick sheet that might be say 6x6 and gluing that to some linoleum or cardboard and using less printer resources (time & filament) while maintaining weight, structure and grip ability.
      kind of like how Gaminggeek
      printed plates and glued them to Openforge 2.0 magnetic bases.
      not that we can't do it ourselves either in 3d modelling software or in the slicer, but I think there is a gap of people producing content specifically for this. Even leaving the bases free so people can then match them to their own preferred locking base plate.
      I guess I'd call them Modular face plates, either for floors or walls.

    I asked around in the TTPG about what people recommended starting with and I ended up choosing Openlock after realizing it was kind of overwhelming. Personally, the "free" and "open" aspects are extremely important to me. I'm happy to support Patreons and fund Kickstarters, but I love not HAVING to do so to get involved. Especially when I'm not sure what kind I want to print. Top that off with how long it takes to print it all in the first place... haha. Ok I'm ranting. This video was great. I love Openforge 2.0

    I personally really like Wyloch's true tiles. Most tiles have these tall walls that I feel just hinder play. In addition the way many are designed you lose playing space with the walls there as well. True tiles solved so many issues like visability and playability while keeping a wall on the tile. The lower walls, and the larger grid making minis fit regardless of the configuration was truely awesome. The various clip on features are also a real treat as well.

    I realize it's outside the purview of the video but I think it would have been interesting to do a quick tuck back into the history to include the Hirst Arts plaster molds and the tiles that were produced with those going back into the late 90's and early 00's as the original competition against dwarven forge resin cast tiles. A lot of the 'system' discussions (especially the 'lost tile area') that I see a lot of today have been going on since the early 00's. :D

    Interesting. I subbed for the 3d printing because the details you were getting for minis and the tips you gave were superb for intricate details.
    However I did DM, yeaaars ago with AD&D 2nd edition. However our group was more narrative/freestyle story driven than pre-planned dungeons, so we weren't into the minis back then. Partly this was cost driven and we chose buying books over minis. The 3d printing scene is amazing in how much it has changed table top RPGs and wargaming.

    wow! Great video man! Personally, i love open forge however, i scale it upto 2.5" tiles and compress the walls to 1/4" just like Wylock does with his paper craft tiles. Its easy enough in tinkercad. I also add divits in the bottom for 6x3 mm magnets to place on a metal table, but that is optional for anyone obviously.

    Hey Danny! I would love to see a system of tiles that you can add to any set that act as circuit blocks. These blocks would pass DC, and connect magnetically, to provide power for torches, street lamps, building illumination, magic portals, etc. Have you heard of something like this on the horizon?

    I know this is a couple of months old now, but this is one of the best videos on your channel. The editing is great and the music is the right volume and matches the scenes. My ONLY criticism is that you need to proofread your script a little more carefully to avoid stuff like at 4:18 where you have to correct yourself with some text. Stuff like that splits the viewers attention and that's never good.
    You should be proud of this one!

      @3DPrintedTabletop  5 ปีที่แล้ว

      I wish that was an easy decision I could make for you guys. If you go with any of these: Rampage/OpenForge/DragonLock/DungeonWorks - you'll still be able to print the others and connect to them. Mix and match if you don't like the style but iust print out some test files and see which feel the best to you. You can always go back and mix and match later :) Thanks for the comment you guys!

      fatdragon games has some free samples you can try in addition to what you will find on thingaverse, I think the webpage for the fatdragon free demo tiles are on drivethrurpg dot com, also printable scenery has some free tiles you can try also. ( Actually the drivethrurpg site has a bunch of different tile sets from different people with free demos tiles.

  • @murgel2006
    @murgel2006 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    Nice and informative, a good video.
    As far as what locking I prefer? I do not know about printed tiles. I always build mine myself and I prefer to have magnet systems for the locking. Why? Because that way I build/glue the locking in and do not carry additional parts. And besides that, the locking really does not undergo much stress. You build the rooms and that is mostly it, so the locking just needs to help slightly with allignment and then keep the tiles in place during the game, which is not really stressful. Magnets, work best for me and if I were to print tiles (which may come sooner than I guess) I would always adjust the template with room to glue in magnets.

  • @Zen17h
    @Zen17h 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    I'm (very slowly) modifying Openforge tiles(specifically for floor base ball magnets) by adding in Rampage-style walls and wall connector slots so that parts are a lot more modular than simple tiles with a set wall(s) on top. My current problem is that I've had to scrap several room designs due to the side walls not really allowing directly adjacent rooms.
    Currently investigating methods of using a TrueTiles format with magnets inside the walls so that they can also just be placed on top of any floor while not interfering with the magnets holding the floor tiles together

    mostly because there's so much variety out there. and the magnetic bases that Devon Jones has developed.
    seriously, rotating ball magnets? genius.

    About six months ago I took a deep, hard look at most of the stuff covered herein, but as I lack a gaming group at the moment, I don't see myself buying a 3D printer anywhen soon, so all that did was feed my imagination for the time being. 😶
    That said, the recent announcement for 2020 of WizKids' WarLock dungeon tile packs (and the adaptors for DragonLock and OpenLock pieces contained therein) has me excited to finally get started with something, which can be expanded upon later with a plethora of (free/bought) 3D-printed pieces of those, InfinityLock and more.

  • @StrangeLittleCreatures
    @StrangeLittleCreatures 5 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    I would love to see existing systems such as dragonlock and openlock continue to introduce more settings and variety. There are more dungeon/village/cavern systems than I can shake a stick at, but specific settings is where my interest now lies. Many of us who have been following all along got in with the Dwarven Forge kickstarters, or the first thing we 3d printed were these fantasy staples and we typically don't need more once we've got a solid quantity of them.
    Now I'd love to see things like an elven/rivendell style tile set. A bone and canvas orc tile set. A crazy gear and tinker dungeon for gnomes. A delicate palace with arching spires. A run down district full of ramshackle hovels jammed together one on top of another. Settings outside of medieval europe such as a japanese dojo, a chinese mythology cloud castle, a middle eastern set of village buildings and market, a taj mahal set, an ancient roman set, and more! Wilderness tiles to cover forests, jungles, swamps, deserts, lush blooming groves, and scarred wastelands.
    3d printing is where these tyles of settings can potentially have a market. They are too specific for big manufacturer's who do molded tiles to really bother with. THere's not enough interest for something so specific... but 3d tiles need much less of an initial investment because there is no quantity minimums, molds to make, or shipping price breaks to try and hit.
    Very excited to see where things go!

      This is a wonderful comment. I know lots of folks interested are trying this, and figuring out how you're going to launch your product is top of mind for those same people usually - especially when considering something super niche like elven palace, middle eastern village, etc. Thank you for writing out such an eloquent response!

      Did you see the recent KickStarter for Printable Scenery? Those folks are focusing on scatter terrain and buildings for Dwarves, Elves and demons: Huge tree forts; Large towers; Dwarven smithies; Portals to demon dimensions; That sort of thing. They're the kinds of things that might make it in to one scene of one adventure, but will definitely make that experience more memorable than theatre of the mind :)

      @@3DPrintedTabletop Danny just a minor correction... When Dwarven Forge originally came out, it did indeed have connectors.
      They looked like small plastic bow ties and each tile had slots carved into them that you would drop the bow ties into to keep them together.
      They were very easy to lose though.
      Also those original sets were much heavier than what they use now and had felt on the bottom so they wouldn't scratch surfaces.
      My group pooled money and bought the Room and Passage Set and Advanced Builders Sets after playing on them at Gencon in the early 2000s.

  • @mikeallen3901
    @mikeallen3901 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    Favorite tile system is TrueTiles as I like the unwasted space with low walls so players can see. However I also use the magnetic bases of OpenForge and some of their designs. Openlock and Dragonlock are also great choices for buildings and scatter terrain, but for tiles low magnetic walls with accessories (doors, windows, specials, etc...) is the way to go... for me at least.
