Hi DM Scotty, I just watched "The DM's Craft, EP 49", and I enjoyed the info re: corpse markers. However, I have a question pertaining to one of your example tiles you used in the latter portion of the video.
On the octagonal tile with the staircase, you had some rubble on the board which looked markedly different from any dirt/rubble piles you've shown in previous videos. It had a much more angular appearance, like a pile of broken wood or bricks. Plus, there appeared to be a solid upright piece in the middle of the rubble which looked like a large piece of broken wall, masonry, or a jagged stone slab. I was wondering what material you used to create this style of rubble as it did not look like construction sand.

Perhaps Scotty will do a video on different types of difficult terrain.

I Did make some rubble piles very similar to this but the one I used in the video was one I got at the hobby store. I can't remember the brand. (I purchased it years ago)

What I do for building rubble (Not loose stones that can be easily made by gluing rocks or pebbles to a card piece) is to cut stray bits of cardboard up and glue them down as if they are fallen bricks or other masonry. The effect is similar to what is shown in that video, with the exception of the large piece in the center. For that, aside from using some clay sculpted to look like a large stone (Or actually getting a large stone) is get a TP roll and try to shape it into a rough ball or other oblong shape. It looks alot like a boulder usually, and if you glue it down and get it shaped correctly, it can look like that large piece of fallen rubble. Then just glue down small cut up bits of cardboard around it to make it look like it fell down and smashed the floor (Alot like the exploded floors that DM scotty did) and you have the same effect.
So, hope that helps.

(I purchased it years ago) Ok, you don't recall the brand, fair enough. So... What was it? I thought it might have been confetti, but it looked too thick, then I thought it maybe aquarium gravel, but most pics of this I've found online are either too fine or are actual pebbles, which are way too large. I don't really care about the exact product, but if I knew what category of item it is I could look for a near equivalent. P.S. Thanks for the other suggestions guys. All great ideas!

You can also make broken stonework with air dry clay or oven bake clay.
