3D Fat Dragon Papercraft Terrain for Dungeons and Dragons; The Lost Library

The Secret Revealed
The secret project mentioned last post is a build for my D&D group.

The Lost Library is a 'Petra' like complex in the desert.  I have used Fat Dragon terrain for the build, it is currently my favourite for 3D terrain.

View from the entrance.  A large square room with the entrance on one corner.  Opposite another square section opens out. The walls stand 4 inches high near the entrance and 6 inches high beyond.  A balcony level  splits the walls near the entrance.  The far section is dominated by an octagonal pool and rubble litters the floor.
Looking in through the entrance

The side gallery is 2 inches wide and runs along the wall near the entrance.  Doors can be seen at ground level and on the gallery.

The far section is dominated by two large statues of robed humanoids (just printed off on card).  Archways in the far walls hold smaller statues, again of the robed figure.  Smaller, higher galleries can be seen overlooking the pool

Looking towards the entrance.  The heroes have just entered while various demonic enemies lurk within, making the most of the different levels

The build provides multiple levels for interesting play, along with lots of doors to investigate.  In play the party were chased in by feathered fiends, only to find more fiends within.  They have to explore whilst avoiding the fiends, or find some way to clear them all out....

  1. Great work Chris, those look awesome and will be useful for so many other games too.

  2. Thanks. The scenery is modular, so I can take it apart and reuse in in other dungeon set ups. It even packs away nicely in clip boxes.
    I suppose I should do a quick tutorial on building Fat Dragon stuff soon.

  3. I was quietly blown away when Chris came in with a huge box, set it down on the table and I saw what was inside it. AWESOME set up. It looks superb, has so many nooks and crannies to explore and adds to the atmosphere and enjoyment of this scenario no end. Great fun to game on and I'm very much looking forward to our next gaming session :)

  4. I am hoping we will get a lot of play from this set up, and I now have a lot of bits to build new stuff as well.
