Paper Dungeon Diorama

I've been playing around with the Mine Diorama (July Annual) templates and came up with these as a first step to a dungeon geomorph set (perhaps as an Annual, perhaps as part of Dioramas 3). Do you like them? Would you be interested in a complete set?

If yes, what are your preferences regarding complexity. E.g. the doorway in the piece on the right is a little harder to build. The piece would be much easier, if it just had a picture of a door instead of a see-though arch. What would you prefer?

    Do I like them? Yes, absolutely. They're great. I also think that the open arch looks much better than just a picture of a door.

    Would I be interested in a full set? No, not personally. My group stopped using physical miniatures a very long time ago. Today, I am using maptool, with a player client connected to a projector aiming at a screen behind the table. Makes it easy for everyone to see, and doesn't claim valuable table space.

    We use miniatures. For years we used floor tiles I made myself. basically manila envelopes drawn on with a drafting pen and cut out with an Xacto knife.

    They were plain floor tiles, I'm not artistic.

    But these look neat and I would love to add them to my campaign, including the archway miniatures can go through.
  • They look great, but I don't know whether I'd use them or not. If I did, it would be with some of the commercial paper terrain available (WorldWorksGames and Fat Dragon being two). If you go ahead, make sure you check the standard floor tile size for them (I know WWG has moved to 3x3 and 6x6 tiles as standard, I don't know about others). Of course, if everything were in CC3, it'd be easy to add a new size, but it would be even easier if everything started consistent.

    I've built a few pieces over the last two weeks, enough to assemble a little dungeon diorama.

  • Looks really good and what I always hopped to see with the original Dioramas. Now if you can add some really nice looking paper miniatures with the new Character Artist....

    I wonder how this would work with my hex shaped dungeon tiles?
