DND Terrain that fights back! This video is all about creating interactive puzzle rooms for your DND and Pathfinder games!
Over at https://www.terraintronics.com, I've just released a new kit that gives you virtually everything you need to make interactive puzzle rooms that will shock and awe your players.
Using magnets in player bases and terraintronics' magnet-sensitive reed switches, you can detect when players and objects are in the right place on your board. With a little of thought and planning (and maybe some inspiration from the design guide!), you too can design rooms with puzzles that can easily be changed between game nights - keeping your friends in doubt about what you'll do next!
