There are many 3D dungeon systems and accessories available today, and this is…another one. What sets the Magna-Build system apart, however, is the design philosophy at its core: this is not ‘Diorama Terrain’ that you can use to play a role-playing game with…this is terrain that is designed for role-playing, designed to improve the experience without slowing it down. Sure, you may still want to use that fancy Diorama Terrain for special events and key encounters, but Magna-Build can easily fill the gap when you don’t have time to mess with it.
For your regular gaming experience where you might not have unlimited time to prepare, the battle-map is still king, and Magna-Build embraces that to work with your battle-map. Of course, just because WE feel that way, doesn’t mean EVERYBODY does. The Magna-Build Dungeon Tiles can be used to build dungeon floor areas FAST, snapping to each other magnetically as you throw them down on the table. You can stack them on top of each other too, to build up elevated areas and even simulate stairs (that models can stand on). If you want to build your rooms ahead of time, you can snap them together with the Platlock clips (Wizkids’ ‘Softlock’ clips also work great!) for a stronger connection that will allow you to pick the whole thing up.
They are also designed to work as part of the MAGNA-BUiLD ecosystem, which means they work great with the Dungeon Walls, Dungeon Bricks, and other accessories. Additionally, because the floor tiles are completely separated from the wall tiles, they take up a lot less storage area than conventional OpenLock designs!
And what makes them stick together? You’re going to want to get some 5mm neodymium ball magnets, which get inserted into all the corners, and securely encapsulated by the clip-in top/bottoms. This lets them rotate freely inside the tile pieces, so when another Dungeon Tile is brought near, the magnets will automatically align themselves to attract and snap together!
Just the fact that they stick to each other gives them a ton of stability on any battle-map, but if you really want them to stay in place, you can throw a piece of sheet steel under the map! Optionally, of course, you could also pick up a Dark-Platypus Studio MAGNA-MAP, a high-quality rollable, laminated, 24” x 36” battle map that is made of magnetically receptive material!
