Did you ever post a follow up on this? I would love to hear about how you use the zones. I have seen how Prof DM uses it, but with the additional zones it seems like it may change it a bit.
I use large, round and square cake boards similar to this for the same purposes. I can get them from my local discount shops for just €2 each for an 18 inch board, and they're sturdy enough to work with, one side coated in tin foil, so just flip them over and work away. Most of the ones I've done have been snapped up by gamers from all around where I live, after I've added resin pieces from Scotia Grendel Products and other game terrain suppliers. It's fun, cheap, and I'm always coming up with new ideas for how to make terrain pieces with them. The square ones fit together nicely alongside each other, so I make entire 4x4/6x4 ft table covering pieces for larger games, too. It's all fun, easy to store, and keeps my game buddies happy :-)
I really wish I found this before I move. My dnd group uses UDT and I made them a set but that paint style is amazing and I wish I could make this for them. Now I'm just online. Might use that painting style for a diarama base though
Just last night I wondered if I could make 2 small round boards with concentric rings for my universal Wargame/RPG and use it as a way to augment theater of the mind/for the wargame by using it like a radar scope just to track distance and loose positionng. So I'm happy to know it is a thing for DND and now I know how to make one thanks! Oh and looks great by the way!
For anyone who wants to do this without a protractor, you can make a triangle template to get a 60 degree angle. Measure a 2 inch line on a piece of paper. Make a long line at a right angle from the 2 inch line. Then, place the 0 inch mark at the top of the 2 inch line, find where the 4 inch mark meets your long line and draw that line to complete the triangle. The angle between the 2 inch line and 4 inch line (hypotenuse) is a 60 degree angle. Also in case anyone else cares. To adapt this to a 12 in circle, you'd have a 1 inch putter circle and the 3.75 inch measurement becomes 2.5 inches
No offense to A Yelp in the Dark, but the Bob Ross of D&D Crafting is DM Scotty, no contest. He's got it all-the easy tutorials, the friendly demeanor, the crazy hairdo... _Everything._ Of course, that's not a knock on A Yelp in the Dark by any means (I mean, it's DM Scotty, the grand-daddy of crafting TH-cam-the man can't be beat), and this channel is definitely one of my new favorites. The focus on cartoony dungeon terrain is pretty rare to see in the Craft-Tube sphere, and just the way he paints is super confidence boosting-namely, he doesn't waste his time meticulously painting in every square to be absolutely perfect (something I struggle with). It makes really good use of impressionist qualities, letting the overall paintjob sell the image instead of slaving over every tiny detail-basically "the whole is greater than the sum of its parts."

Love it! I have some flat UDT coming to my TH-cam channel in a couple weeks, but I like your painting more than mine. May all yours be 20s!

This is perfect. Exactly what I was looking for to build zone terrain. I’m considering using sheets of eva foam for individual bricks.
I'ts like seeing magic. I hope to learn more in your future videos! Great job!
That's one slick looking UDT

Looks great, man. I like the song, too.

I love this take on UDT. Fantastic job.
I’ve made this about six different ways. I like yours, especially since you go the two-sided route
Wow! What great innovations! Oh, and PDM approves? Who could ask for anything more?
You should sell these. I would buy a whole set of you.
Fantastic!
Yo you got good energy keep it up
Great!
You are the Dungeons and Dragons Bob Ross.

@@vurrunna I was referencing that exact paint style, plus the seventies funk background music. Scotty is the Craftfather, hands down.
I prefer to think of myself as the Bill Nye of painting. But I do almost have the Bob Ross hair.
Could we get a vid on your zone rules?
Professor Dungeon Master did his here. th-cam.com/video/7_hq7JE55CQ/w-d-xo.html
But I will put something together. Editted for proper link.
Love this project! Going to pick up materials for my own soon. Do you prefer using these over your tile system?
Beautiful
Wonderful work! Subbed.
How do you do your rules?
whehh... I failed the math in this video bigly.
