Is This The Most Amazing Dungeons & Dragons Tabletop Ever?
August 21, 2016 by brennon
Ryan Devoto has added a whole new level to his amazing Fantasy tabletop, literally. The Nerdist showed off the latest addition to his collection which is an amazing Dungeonscape made using Dwarven Forge pieces and more besides.
Now doesn't that just look like THE BEST Dungeon ever to go and explore? I like that there is a sense of depth to it and the dungeon has plenty of levels built into its design. Take a closer look at it here too...
There's some classic pieces in here that tie it into the heritage of Dungeons & Dragons, namely the big statue of the demon holding the bowl of flame against his chest. No doubt a cunning Halfling is looking to steal the gems from its eyes.
Now, while this is the most impressive part of the tabletop there is plenty more to it too. There is a dock, a port and all manner of buildings for your heroes to wander around.
I like the idea that you could probably play a whole campaign out using this tabletop. Your heroes arrive on these magnificent boats on the orders of a Wizard who lives in this tower...
You accept your quest and then make your way towards town as you deal with a Troll along the way who has made his home underneath a bridge on the river.
Meeting in town you then get warned by the locals that the Wizard who you presumed was a good fellow is actually lording over their town from on high! Racing back to the tower you find he has vanished and entered the dungeon into which you now must delve.
If you're interested to see another configuration of this tabletop we covered it a while back when we looked at the Tabletop World terrain used to create this magnificent town. You can read the article HERE.
Has this inspired you?

Even if it is isn’t the most impressive table top ever, the one above it would have to be earth shatteringly amazing to beat it. Ryan Devoto has really out done himself 😀
This is our hobby at its best, love it 🙂
I think it has got to be as not many do the dungeon side of things. I wonder if the other set up you showed in the past just fits over this one so its hidden beneath during other games?
@John one for you to have a look at buddy for a bit of WW2 action. I love the attention to detail in recreating a setting that has gone into this and the changes in elevation he has achieved. The water effect in the gallery photos I would be hard pushed to recognise as a diorama rather than the real thing.

Wow
Looks ok to me, nothing special. I mean i bet that isnt even an actual flowing river!
Yes, it is. I would kill for a table like that.
Fantastic table! Pure art!
Wow, just WOW
That is amazing.
the table is looking amazing guys an 11 out of 10 from me.
If I was a millionaire, this is the kind of stuff I’d probably spend my money on.
See I knew i liked you! You have understandable priorities. (I’d do the same)
Yeah, absolutly the best use of a basement I can imagine 🙂
…guess you’re not Austrian then.
…me too, just bigger!
Gotta have it. Working on it!
Well done!
This is truly inspiring!
impressed as never before!
This makes me want to cry hot geek tears of Joy….
It’s not just the money and space that this level of excellence requires, but imagine the hours of hard labour, and the enduring days and weeks of “significant other” moaning, it takes to produce something this amazing.
Who ever’s responsible needs to be interviewed on XLBS, it’d fascinating to be walked through the process.
