A stack of large crates dominates the center of the room, giving you no other choice but to peer left and right. There's no mistaking the artifact is here; the book under your arm starts vibrating, as though it struggles to open its covers and expose its knowledge.

You climb a flight of stairs up into darkness. The attic of Elysana's Oddities is a cluttered collection of mildew-ridden books, coagulated potions, and broken display cases. The grey cat sits comfortably among crates, cleaning itself.

The second floor of Elysana's Oddities is all built out on my table! I went with a bay window wall, but I might move that to the first floor. It's pretty easy to change your mind! And, all this stuff comes apart so you can make other things with it! #paperterrain #dnd #ttrpg

An orb stands atop a pedestal with swirls of stars suggesting an infinity held within a glass prison. 'Knowledge, ancient, bound. Darkness, light, surround...' Is there something more to these flecks of light locked in the sphere? You tentatively reach out a hand...

Ascending the stairs, you turn back and catch your breath. An immense skeleton of a creature spans the width of the building. The eerie emptiness of the shop has your mind playing tricks, and you find yourself staring at the monster's bones, wondering if your eyes picked up even a hint of motion.

Elysana's Oddities, built out on my table! The first floor is complete, and it's looking beautiful. Lots of playable space. For a "fog of war" kind of thing, just lay some paper down over the different regions! The second floor is coming next week. #dnd #paperterrain #ttrpg

Skulls of massive creatures rest atop sagging shelves of books, their cryptic titles making little sense to you. Nearby, a glass cabinet is filled with preserved flower specimens unlike any you've seen. It's almost too much to take in. (Hey - that's a @trashmobminis.bsky.social dino head there!)

My wife and I did a dice making session at a local craft store. It was a lot of fun, and we have even MORE respect for the gorgeous hand crafted dice folks make. Can you share your favorite small dice maker with me? Mine came out pretty meager! lol

This is your regular reminder to tell TTRPG creators about how it goes when you run your stuff. Comments on Itch about my adventures make my day every single time.

Despite not seeing another soul, you tread lightly towards the back of the shop, as though someone might take offense at being disturbed. #dnd #ttrpg #paperterrain

Light from outside fights the accretion on the windows, allowing the emporium to be only dimly lit. Coming in from the bright sun outside, other senses take over while your vision grows accustomed to the shadows. Pleasant smells of aged parchment. Homey sounds of the creaking floorboards underfoot.

The hours of operation at Elysana's Oddities are entirely at the proprietor's whim. Should you find the front door locked and your needs urgent, your best course is to try a creative, rhythmic knock and hope the building takes pity on you. #dnd #ttrog #paperterrain

Elysana's Oddities. Tucked in the back corner of the market district, Elysana seems to have just about everything that nobody would want. It's easy to let the day slip away among the shelves lined with eccentric books and mismatched bric-à-brac. #dnd #ttrpg

The "Corner Tile" addon can make (among other things) octagonal buildings. What would you make a little building like this for in your village/town/city? #paperterrain #dnd #ttrpg

I can't stress how important it is to have the Prehistoric Panic set of minis on hand. Not only are you getting DINOSAURS, but you're getting ZOMBIE DINOSAURS and SKELETON DINOSAURS. I use too many words, so I gotta more posts to explain how my brain works.

Astral Elves are still popular this month, but Dinosaurs and Dragons have crept into the top 5 Get these and everything else, during the 10 years of Trash Mobs sale on @drivethrurpg.com! www.drivethrurpg.com/en/publisher...

First prototype made for some destroyed floor tiles. For my own purposes, I'll get a little further along with the floors, then I'll take a look at busting up some walls! #ttrpg #paperterrain #dnd

Need some inspiration? Enjoy experimenting with modular terrain pieces! Here's a lovely house with a basement. What unexpected surprises might be down there? A dusty old cabinet or stack of crates could be hiding a door that opens up a whole new world to explore! #ttrpg

What have you built with our modular terrain? Need some inspiration? How about a gatehouse! Designed in a number of separate sections, this can easily let you have fun inside and out.

A nice thing about modular terrain is you can modify the pieces. Some of the modified pieces I've done end up packaged up as products or freebies. Here are some examples. You can pick these up for free and blend them into your existing paper terrain sets!

The Stone Buildings Set scratches that bucolic itch for your gaming table. Build tiny or build big. Make yourself playable interiors as well as exteriors. If you have any of our other building sets, you can swap the roofs, use different floors... It's amazing what you can do with paper terrain!

The Manor House Building Set is a completely modular paper building set for your tabletop games. Build a small guild hall, guard tower, sprawling mercantile facilities, and more. The pieces store flat and can be assembled in all sorts of ways. #ttrpg #paperterrain #dndterrain

The Kith and Kettle is a simple model building that can be assembled in a number of ways. It will go together as a single-story or two-story building, with optional chimney and rear addons.

I show off a lot of props and modular terrain, but we've got building models, too! The Tower House is designed to be a flexible model where you can choose what you want. Just the tower? What if you just want a new meeting house? You've got options!

Add some points of interest to your outdoor adventures with the Standing Stones prop set! 28 different standees, from hitching posts to cairns, arches to monoliths. Available on DriveThruRPG!

Need a cemetery to go digging around in? A quick mix of some terrain and you've got a way to keep your players busy! #dnd #paperterrain #ttrpg #dndterrain

Sometimes your players need to maybe visit an old friend. Sometimes your players are looking to raise some new ones. Gravestones prop set with 19 different grave stones and snowy variants. Affiliate link to DriveThruRPG: www.drivethrurpg.com/en/product/4... #dnd #paperterrain #ttrpg

The Metropolis stands alone, but is a also great companion to the Under the Metropolis set. It's a full building kit, which is to say in addition to new walls, floors, stairs, posts and railings, it has a complete roof and truss system to go with it.

The Under the Metropolis set led to a favorite add-on of mine: Legends of the Metropolis! Featuring @kevslounge.bsky.social artwork turned into mosaics, they tell stories right inside the terrain. Best of all, they are all paper minis, so every mosaic you use can foreshadow the encounters to come!
