Challenge 141: Story Time Through Patterns: Gelatinous Cube
Though they traveled far and fought hard, the brave adventurers’ quest came to an end within the foul grasp of a gelatinous cube! I just started up a new D&D campaign, so it’s been on my mind these past few weeks. One of the most iconic enemies that a character might come up against is the gelatinous cube, which is just a big dumb cube of jelly that might swallow you. My original pattern was a bunch of adventurer parts within a green gelatinous background. From there, I liked the idea of the skulls of different characters and enemies, and finally a bunch of fun colored smaller but equally dangerous cubes. This one was way out of my wheelhouse, but I had some fun with it and learned a good bit about pattern making and doing mockups in photoshop. Good stuff to know! Anyway, hope you nerds like these!

A little cube that collects bones and sometimes swords… consumes everything it touches… or most of it… A little sticker I’ll be sending to my April Patreons
Welp. First one. I’ll try to number them but I can already see myself losing track. Enjoy this jelly cube.

If you’re like me you have a ton of Dungeon Tiles from 3.5 and 4th edition, but you don’t use them very often because you’re frustrated with how they never stay in place when your players bump them.
That’s why I was really excited when I saw theGridscape Kickstarter last year; I just had my package delivered, and I was not disappointed.
TheGridscape was really easy to build and blocks are a high quality plastic. The industrial pegboard is also great. Setup is as fast or faster than drawing it on a Chessex mat. The tiles fit inside perfectly, and I was able to make some really great looking setups, for a fraction of the cost and weight of Dwarven Forge, and I feel like this has significantly more modularity. (That’s the demogorgon figure from Stranger Things shown below)
The doors are 3d printed, and also available on Gridscape’s website. They really remind me of playing Hero Quest when I was a kid, which is the game that really inspired Age of Exploration (more than D&D even). I’m almost done with a ‘Hero Quest’ themed adventure for AoE, and Dave @flavoracle and I will keep you posted about how it’s coming. Gridscape won’t be required to play it, but we’ll definetly be using it in our playtesting.
I made a whole bunch of different set ups and there’s a million different combinations of rooms you can make with it. If 18x18 isn’t big enough, it uses standard pegboard, and you can just go buy a bigger one from anywhere.
I also really liked being able to hide secret treasures or traps on the tiles without making it too obvious to the players.
(Above) Here’s a tile that’s a pressure plate: If the players step on it, without searching first… it shoots out flame jets!

A rug in the front hall is just decoration… surely the fountain is the real puzzle… but if they search the rug, they find a trap door under it.
The Kickstarter for Gridscape is getting deliverd; if you missed it you can order it now from https://battleboardgames.com/

Making snowglobe dice is very fun and they are very beautiful, but I have always been bothered by the unbalanced aesthetic of round beads in square cases (especially with my rectangular d4).
ALTAn additional challenge is that the beads I use for cores have teeeeeny tiny openings because they’re designed for jewelry, so I could only use very fine glitters and not anything else cool.
So, how to solve this problem? Obviously I needed to find something that fits better than round glass beads, and I also needed to have a larger opening to fit a broader variety of filler. Alas, for months of searching I couldn’t find anything that existed that checked all my boxes. Things that worked for the d20 didn’t work for the d4, and not being able to make a full set was just not on.
The solution: Blender, endless tedium of teeny tiny measurements, and loading up clear resin in the printer.
I took my dice models, unextruded all the numbers, deleted the top face, and then solidified it with a 1mm wall, making a hollow die exactly as much smaller than my regular dice as the depth of the number wells so they’d center automatically. I also modeled that deleted face on its own as a cap with beveled edges so I could seal everything up nice and tight with UV resin in a syringe.
I can’t polish the insides to make the inserts crystal clear, but polishing the outsides to high gloss kept the prints transparent enough to see perfectly inside, and the slight matte ended up making my finished product even more amazing:
GELATINOUS CUBES
AN ENTIRE SET OF MOVING SKULL AND BONES GELATINOUS CUBES
EASILY the most amazing things I have ever made. I love them so much.
