The 3X3 Dungeon Floor Kit Contents

• 1 Inch Grid Base Image
• 2 Wall Images

Supplies You Will Need

Backing Board

The first thing you will need is a backing board. Many people reuse corrugated paper(cardboard). Since it is free,w it is a popular choice.

It works out that foamcore board is a better answer. The pieces hold up to regular gameplay better than corrugated paper. So they last longer. You also get a better-looking tile. Foamcore board is inexpensively available at big-box discount stores and dollar stores.

Craft Knife

You will need a way to cut out the various pieces of the tile.

A craft knife is the best all-around answer. You use it to cut the backing board. Also, you can use it to cut out the images before you glue them to the backing board.

If you use corrugated paper, you may find a utility knife or a box cutter works better.

Also, you may be more comfortable cutting the printed images with scissors.

Glue Stick

The mighty glue stick holds all of the modular terrain tiles together.

You may want to use generic glue sticks from the dollar store. Unfortunately, they have not worked out well in the past. The adhesives don’t have the holding power for regular gameplay.

Pritt Original glue sticks have worked best. You may not find them in your local store. Fortunately, they are available online. Just ask Jeff to deliver some to your doorstep.

Metal Ruler

It is much easier to cut a straight line with a guide than without one. A ruler becomes necessary since you will make several passes to complete a single cut.

You will want to use a metal ruler because a craft knife or box cutter will scar the edge of plastic or wooden rulers.

Many wooden rulers have a metal edge. So you may be tempted to use one. Please don’t. A solid metal ruler gives better results.

Printed Copy Of The Kit

All the images for the tiles are in the kit. So you will have to print them.

The kit works well with regular printer paper. But you may want to use something heavier like photo paper.

Instructions

Step 1 – Print Instructions

Glue Stick Terrain kits come in PDF format.

When you download the files, be sure to select either USA letter size (8 1/2″x11″) or A4 size(210x297mm).

For the kits, you can use regular printer paper (20# Bond).

You can print the tile images on matte photo paper if you want something sturdier.

Step 2 – Cut Out The Tile Base Image

There are two base images included in the kit. One image is a gridless base, and the other is a gridded base.

Cut out the type of tile you want to create.

Be sure to leave a small margin around the image.

The margin makes it easier to stick the image to the backing board. Plus, it helps you to make a straight cut.

Step 3 – Glue The Image To The Backing Board

Use a glue stick to fasten the image to the backing board.

Place some heavy books on each piece while it is drying. The weight helps press the paper to the backing board, making it stick better.

Step 4 – Cut Out The Dungeon Piece

Using the metal ruler to guide the knife, cut out the piece.

Make sure you use a sharp craft knife to get the cleanest possible edges.

Please be careful. Use a cutting mat to protect your work surface. Also, pay attention to your fingers. You don’t want to cut yourself.
