      Dirt Cheap Dungeons A majority of people playing, specifically of the newer and younger demographic who don’t have these resources, often don’t have the funds to buy miniatures let alone just spend over $100 on a single set (as large as it might be in comparison to others) of environment pieces. Especially when simply using one inch graph paper is a FAR cheaper option.

      Dirt Cheap Dungeons is fun company name that we use. What we are is a small team in Bend Oregon, that started out as a D&D group, that produces all of our products in the USA. We also use 30% post consumer recycled materials in the plastic as well. Everything in that box, to include the box itself, is of the highest quality product that we spent over a year creating. What you are looking at in the review is our largest set and more than most people will ever actually need. You can easily fill a 4 foot by 4 foot table filled to the brim with dungeon rooms with that set. We even have 2 smaller sets for those that don't need such a large set. Anyway, happy holidays Demetri.

    If the walls are all assembled, does this still aline with a normal grid, or with each piece does it misalign a little bit therefore after like 20 walls it’s off by a whole square?
    You only showed it with a felt bottom, and I would use a battle mat under it.
    Great review otherwise.

    • @dirtcheapdungeons9675
      @dirtcheapdungeons9675 4 ปีที่แล้ว +13

      The walls were engineered to align to a 1 inch grid even if you built out all 54 ft in a straight line. Although that is the equivalent of a 4-5 story building and I am not sure if you will find the space. We personally use Battlemats and Megamats (Chessex) or GameMatz as a grid system, our sets go along with just about anything though. A couple of our product testers forwent the grid and just used rulers when they needed to determine distances.

    I rememeber how we constructed walls out of cardboard which we covered with paper on which we've drawn the wall designs. We became pretty good with constructing those and then also started doing furnitures, stairs, trees and other stuff. At some point we had a school project of making a model of a childrens playground - it was supposed to be a crossover project between art and tech classes. At that time we were so good with doing those cardboardstands that we rocked that project so hard, they called in our parents and seriously asked them to stop helping us with our school projects as one could see that our project was way to professional to be done by schoolkids.

    At first when they laid down one wall section it looked very wobble, and I thought the product isn't going to work very well. But then I saw the multiple wall sections and corners and such, with the connectors, then I knew this would work just fine for the vast majority of uses.
    Now I just need to figure out when to fit this into the post-Christmas budget.

      The hinges can definitely be a little challenging to get on, but they do hold firm and allow for the doors to open when you get them on. We tried to give everyone extra for that reason.

      I spent more on the first few maps I had printed out professionally on a large format printer and that was as an employee of the shop that did it with a discount, and I didn’t go for Uber high quality.
      It’s not as cheap as using paint to print across multiple pages with your 2D battlemap that you “made yourself” (many DMS are buying maps, adventures, or subbing to Patreon a that release them so the cost is hard to calculate so let’s assume they are just photoshopping em and stealing assets with google searches). Plus unless you have one of the more economical ink sources (the crazy inkjet that comes with a gas tank full of ink or instant ink) even printing at home ain’t cheap long term.
      Painting these will probably cost more than acquiring them.

      We embossed the design, but the eco-safe plastics we use have embedded natural fibers to make the stone work have stone-like flecks to make them somewhat authentic as well. So no need to paint them right out of the box, but if painting is your thing - it makes an excellent 'base' for whatever enhancements you decide to do to them!

      The $289.99 Legend Set you are referring to the largest set we offer, which is likely for super dedicated people with game rooms in their home. For the people that D&D is kinda their side thing, quite honestly the Rogue Set (our smallest, $109.99) is much more their speed. At 18+ linear feet of walls, doorways and stairs for $109.99, we offer 2x the coverage of our closest competitors for similar price. The Rogue Set is long enough to give you about 12 rooms for $109.99. This is compared to Dwarven Forge which is 3-rooms for $75. We include shipping free within the US as well!
      In our experience, 12-rooms with encounters typically takes about 3 hours of D&D game time.

      Our products are injection molded with eco-safe texturized plastics that are far more durable and precise than what can be achieved with 3D printing's limited quality. The clips and other intricate parts are too detailed for 3D printers to do, as the layer lines would cause the pieces to snap. As well, the sheer length of walls and doorways would take a month of 3D printer time, and nearly cost you as much in filament (we know from a year+ of prototyping). It is way more cost-effective to just buy these from us.

    • @dirtcheapdungeons9675

      A good use of a 3D printer in this case is to use our sets for the many redundant walls lengths in a dungeon, but use a 3D printer to make the occasional custom walls/doorways/ or other accessories (thrones, etc.) to populate the dungeon with.

      @@dirtcheapdungeons9675 PLA is more durable than you claim, I've made gears out of it, little walls that will never have force applied won't be a problem. 3D printers are more accurate than you claim, I have a $180 Chinese clone printer, it's resolution is 0.1mm, plenty for little plastic walls and little plastic clips. I'm not sure about print time, but based on you exaggerating your previous claims, I'll venture a guess that it will be significantly shorter than what you say it is.
      As far as cost goes, 1Kg of filament costs about $20, $300 / $20 = 15, I could buy 15 Kg of filament for what you're charging. There's no way that little box weighs anywhere near 15 Kg. If the wall is 1.75 inch tall and .125 inch wide, 15 Kg of filament would print about 8000 linear inches of wall. Your stuff costs 37 times as much as 3D printed! Even if someone didn't have a 3d printer, they could buy one outright and 6 Kg of filament for what you're charging.
      Smearing competition isn't a good marketing strategy, it turns people off. Take me for instance, since you smeared 3D printing, I will *never* buy your product, out of principle, and I will go out of my way to steer other potential buyers away from your product.

    I see quite a few people in the comments, talking about the price of the set. Yes if one person have to buy a set then sure, 100$ to 300$ is a lot of money.
    But in my opinion getting something like this for your roleplaying group, should be a group purchase. This of cause is assuming you are good friends that trust each other.
    Heck if you a really tight-knit group, surprise your DM with something like this as a gift.
    Though in general, I would recommend you talk in your group about if even getting the set that is in the video is even something you want in your game, players and DM alike.
    It would suck if for an example the DM bought this, and the players hated it .
    Another perspective is that it's a one time purchase, just like the core rule books you buy. Me personally, I use a battle map with squares on it, and use wet erase markers.

    So I picked this up a couple of weeks ago. It's totally worth the money. My group loves it. Once you put it together it's incredibly sturdy. I draw out my own battle maps on cardboard I use a couple of peices on double sided tape (so it doesn't slide) and it's done. I've looked at quite a bit of 3d terrain over the past year. This is simply the cheapest and most customizable that I've found. I will not have to buy anything else.

    Greetings from the 514 boys!!!
    I like the product review... Granted whole set for 300$ is a bit steep sounding. But, the amount of stuff you're getting for price is somewhat reasonable. The other option is a 3d printer... And the wait times and whatever else may come of self printing your own.
    I noticed a kickstarter reviewer said doir hinges were an issue and that it did seem a bit fragile while you were trying to assemble them...
    Painting could be a small issue... But then again as you boys mentioned, a non issue for most non OCD DMs...
    Personally I love the look and the amount of product seems pretty good for the price.
    And 200 and 100$ options and 30$ build up sets isn't too harsh on some budgets.

    Hey Monty & Kelly - have you guys looked into GTG games minis? I won't link here, as I don't want to seem like i'm marketing for them (not affiliated at all). As someone that's relatively new to DMing (and playing) DND, things like this really appeal to me to aid in storytelling. I don't have any minis, and always feel like i'm a b-grade DM when i constantly use dice for stand-ins for monsters and what not. The GTG minis seemed like a good way to quickly and cheaply supplement my storytelling, but a little concerned about quality of the product, specifically ripping and flaking. Hoping maybe you have some insight into the product before I commit some money to them. Thanks!

    Thanks for posting this. I missed the kickstarter and was waiting for the site to start selling this stuff and this video basically announced it for me. I just bought the legendary set moments ago with the angular expansion. People who say $300 is too much for this much dungeon terrain have clearly not done the research. Most dungeon terrain is bulky, heavy and needs painting (also, quite expensive). I love that this can be used straight out of the box and is organized so nicely.

    Nice review! And for anyone worried about the $300, they also sell sets for $200 and $100, and it seems their diagonal adapters pack also contains some walls for $30, so you don't have to spend it all at once. And yes, it really is $1 for 1 piece.

    The $289.99 Legend Set, that was reviewed, is our largest set and is geared for dedicated D&Ders that likely have dedicated game rooms and wish to set up 40+ room dungeons and leave them in place.
    The $109.99 Rogue Set (our smallest) and the $199.99 Knight Set, are more geared towards quick-set-up-and-tear-down portability. The Rogue Set is good for about a 12 room dungeon (with encounters, typically a 3 hour game) and the Knight Set is good for about a 26 room dungeon (with encounters, a hardcore 6 to 8 hour gaming session). There is more space in these sets for ease of packing as well.
    One of the best things is that we mostly produce these products ourselves. So we can produce quickly as needed if/when our inventory runs low, rather than our competitors that outsource their manufacturing to outside the US and have backorders of months or more. We can restock our inventory very quickly and you are supporting a small Oregon company!

      We've seen them. And it looks like a pretty good set and design admittedly! Pricing seems on par or bit higher than ours... There are always pluses and minuses to different designs. Ours would be more durable, and more eco-friendly, and would be easier to customize with dremel and paints to do what you want. Theirs does allow for quick temporary design changes with a marker easy....
      My concern as an engineer for their design would be in humid environments, as the paperboard would likely swell and may cause the plastic sheeting to delaminate... or if the edge is rubbed, if that would cause delamination as well. But I like what they do and think the market is good enough to cater to many designs.

      First off a disclaimer that I don't currently own anything from Dirt Cheap Dungeons (honestly they weren't on my radar before the vid). Also, I don't have an issue with the Fantasy World Creator set. Seems very interesting. Looking at what you get I'm not sure the price is "way cheaper" or "less less expensive" as the OP was saying, but I'm always happy to see more options. I truly hope that both sets are very successful for both companies.
      It's always funny how "cheap" many of us gamers are. Look through the comments "$300? blah blah blah. I could make it at home for $20 and a vanilla Zinger", "How come it's not free? You're crazy, blah blah". You'd think none of us have jobs lol. Try buying 300 pieces of Dungeon Forge stuff (or 100 pieces for that matter) and see how much you'd pay versus the approx $1 a piece from Dirt Cheap Dungeons.

      Our products are injection molded with eco-safe texturized plastics that are far more durable and precise than what can be achieved with 3D printing's limited quality. The clips and other intricate parts are too detailed for 3D printers to do, as the layer lines would cause the pieces to snap. As well, the sheer length of walls and doorways would take a month+ of 3D printer time, and nearly cost you as much in filament (we know from a year+ of prototyping). It is way more cost-effective to just buy these from us for the redundant parts of the dungeon, like standard walls, doorways, stairs, etc.
      A good use of a 3D printer in this case is to use our sets for the many redundant walls lengths in a dungeon, but use a 3D printer to make the occasional custom walls/doorways/ or other accessories (thrones, etc.) to populate the dungeon with. Spend your time and money on the fancy one-off accessory parts that a 3D printer is good for, not the things that can be mass produced. That's how you get the most bang for your buck.
