Hey everyone. This is my first post. I was inspired by DM Scotty's videos a month ago (while I was sick with the flu for a week) and got to work on creating modular terrain in his style with my own twist.
I would like to thank you Scotty for the inspiration (I watched all your videos straight through). I have always been a gridless player as I have played a variety of wargames and RPGs throughout my life.
I grew up in South Africa during the end of Apartheid. Access to any form of fantasy role playing stuff was VERY limited so my friends and I created most of our rules and games ourselves from the pieces of information we could get. There were maybe 3 gaming stores in the whole country and prices were rediculous to say the least. Thus I have always been a do-it-yourself-ultra-cheap style gamer. I now live in Australia where I have 3 gaming stores in my neighborhood.
Since viewing your videos I have created approximately 80 terrain pieces and 50 items for use in the 2.5D world. To showcase this and how I do it (using your methods, but with influences from Warhammer Quest, ADOM, Dwarven Forge and other sources) I have created a website/blog and a YouTube channel.
I hope to give something to the crafting and gaming community and this is my introduction video.
Thank you once again Scotty et al. It's good to be back in the game... but now it's time to get back to dungeoneering!

Thank you, I am glad you like it. There are quite a few things to share. In addition to being a gridless player, I am also a freeform DM. To me it is important to be able to put an interesting dungeon level or town together in 5 to 10 minutes.

Very good summary of why 2.5D and gridless are the way to go for any crafty DM.
