Free GURPS 3D Dungeons

[Highland_Piper]

Would anyone be interested? These would be free of course. With the release of the new Dungeon pdf's I thought I'd offer my services.

Creating these would not be that hard for me. I've played around with the idea of using your standard 1" Hex Dungeon and I'm more than confident that I can make them.

But would anyone bother to make and build them? I won't to be honest because I already have an extensive square paper dungeon.

Check out the Downloads at Dungeon Crawlers or my Paper Terrain section in the forums and just let me know if it is something the GURPS community would be interested in. I can do many skins on the dungeons, secret doors, traps, all in 3D.

Well, I for one, would be interested. It's rather hard to find decent stuff with overlaid hex grids for gurps combat

Would it be possible to print the floors of existing models on transparencies? (like the ones for overhead projectors) Then just place the paper models over a hex map.

I would definitely be interested.

I do it the other way around. I have the 1" hexes on transparency sheets, and draw the dungeon out on an underlying grid scaled at 1 square = 10 picas = 5 feet. That allows me to use pretty much any of my old AD&D dungeon maps.

Here is an idea of what I'm talking about

1" Hex 3D Dungeon

Now this is just a prototype. I've made several 3D dungeons for grid style maps. The unique challenge of a Hex is your going to need more pieces for all the different possibilities.

The figure in the picture is roughly to scale of a normal 25mm figure.

So is that something the GURPS community would build and use?

Here is a pic of some of the individual pieces

So pretty much each wall piece is mounted on its own floor tile and you have blank floor tiles as well. I'm also working on stairs, raised platforms and possible a sewer system.

If you are serious about these and want to be a part of the beta builds go to this forum here. If your just interested and want to leave your two cents post here or there I don't care :)

Your sample layout totally rocks. I'm really hoping you get the chance to create these in detail!

A practical question: do you have blank pieces (with fold lines, etc.) that you lay textures onto before printing, or do you generally design with a generic dungeon-wall image already in place?

[Highland_Piper]

Normally I unfold them then lay textures on in Photoshop. I always keep a blank copy in case I want to do different textures like Grey tight fitting stone to a field stone look. The more options the better.

The more I play with this the more I like this design then your standard square grid dungeons. You can definately get more options out of the hex.

With this being 1" hex it will even fit the larger "click" style miniatures. This would allow it to be used by RPG and standard miniatures games.
