About the Project

Hello! This project log is mostly about cataloging the gaming projects and solidly low-budget videos of the Cheap Dragon Show. Most of the stuff planned is in the realm of fantasy miniatures and terrain, but a few non-sequitors are bound to appear.

Exploring the Bottom of the Barrel: Cheap 3D Dungeon Tiles

Where is a cheap dragon most likely to be found (when not at the dollar store)? In a cheap dungeon, of course! We got a three pack of EVA foam and cork tiles in the $10-15 dollar range (they sat on a shelf for a while, and someone didn’t keep their receipts…) and along with some other garbage, made some dungeon tiles! Hope you enjoy!

Less deadly, but no less cheap- the scenery

What does a cheap dragon need? Some cheap scenery to lay waste to, of course! We get started with some really cheap ($3 for 64 plants) jungle-ish broad-leafed greenery, and we’ll see where we go from there. Hope you enjoy!

Some adventurers lost in the jungle. They don't realize it's dollar store stuff, or they'd be more scared.Some adventurers lost in the jungle. They don't realize it's dollar store stuff, or they'd be more scared.

A trip to the dollar store a few years ago yielded a $10 bag of dragon toys. After languishing on the shelf for some time, they came out of the bag and I made a video about converting one of them into a miniature for Warhammer or the like. That video then languished in digital purgatory for some time before finally getting published, and now making it’s way here for (hopefully) your enjoyment.

Thanks for checking it out!
