Terrain Tuesday - How To Make 2.5D Walls

Over on the Infinite Role Play YouTube channel, there are a couple of tutorial videos titled "How To Make 2.5D Walls 5 different Ways."  The videos are not very long but they are the type where you want to pause them whenever text pops up, read the text, look over the current image, and repeat.

Be forewarned, the videos are frenetic and the tutorial text jumps around the screen, is in different colors, and needs editing in places but five ways to make this type of terrain are shown.  The first of the two videos has an extra minute on the end that you can skip.  The advice in the second video is sound and thoughtful and well-worth watching but you do want to watch the first portion of the first video to understand the advice in the second video.

Personally, I prefer a sixth where you print out dungeon maps to scale and glue them down on the tiered cardboard.




For purposes here, the term Terrain is used broadly
to cover 3D and 2D maps, foam, felt, and such.
