DungeonSticks: Caverns - a new modular cavern design system that is fast and easy, and designed to use with a gridded battle map!

This project is being supported by my Kickstarter, The Skyless Realms

This Set: Ore Mines

This set contains each of the 3 walls from the Dry Caverns set, but with veins of ore running through them. You can paint this up as stones, gold, silver, whatever! There's also a mine support entrance piece that matches all Dry Cavern style sets, and another few wall segments with partial support arches to minic a mine tunnel. This is based off the classic Dry Caverns set, so all those pieces (including couplers, wall ends, and entrances) will work seamlessly with these. Remember that each piece can be mirrored in your slicer on X and/or Y to put mushrooms on the other side, or change direction for variety.

What the hell is a DungeonStick: Cavern?

Tile sets have their place, but for organic caverns they are unruly and hard to use. To that end, I developed DungeonSticks - a "2.5d" terrain system built of walls and entrances to build out your caverns (on top of a battle map/mat, table, etc) with the focus on quick/easy setup, portability, player visibility, and easy printing/painting. The connection system is a simple drop-in rotating joint that requires no additional clips or fastening mechanism, and allows the walls to move to fit organic shapes. The goals of this system are:

• Faster and easier than complete tile sets to print, paint, and setup
• Reusable, flexible, and combinable with very minimal teardown / setup
• Easy storage, transportation, and stacking when not in use
• Create an 3rd dimension effect without the need for full floors/walls (by leveraging short walls and full-height doors, columns, etc)
• Offer nearly-zero visual impairment or sight blocking for players on the table.
• Not sacrifice design/aesthetics, but make the pieces beautiful for players to look at and full of detail without overcomplicating painting.
• Harken back to an old-school "runehammer-esque" feel when used on the table.

DungeonSticks: Caverns contain a set of base construction items to build themed organic caverns of all types including walls, couplers, and entrances. They are designed to work with 1" grid systems with limited loss of playable floor space in the interior.

A typical "stick" prints in about 1 hr and an entrance in about 1.5 hrs. They require no support and minimal infill, and you can fill your print bed up with these overnight and print a full set in as little as a few days. Perfect for adding a 3rd dimension to your last-minute one shot!

Printing Notes

All pieces are designed to be printed best @ .16mm layer height, but anything up to .3mm should work OK. They require little infill (10% or so) but I personally like 20-30% so they have a little weight to them. No supports are needed for any of the pieces.

NOTE- you can mirror every piece in your slicer to get more variations
