These mine walls integrate seamlessly into your cavern builds!
The Cavern Mine Walls Set 1 is designed to bring a richer experience to your caverns. The Caverns: Core Set brings all the basic tiles and walls needed to make an organic underground complex of tunnels and open rooms. With each add-on released, you get more and more out of that set! The walls provided in this add-on might be used with the Mine Tiles add-on to really show off the active mining operations, or they might be used within a section of your caverns as part of a bandit hideout. The open beam walls work well with other sets, too! The earthy walls might be an unfinished cellar, and the open beams might be part of an entryway that supports a second floor. The open walls can even slot in place right on top of dungeon walls for some unexpected variety. Be creative!

Why choose a modular terrain system?
Modular terrain systems have some key features that are pretty compelling. For starters, the pieces are interchangeable. The tiles, posts and walls you built with your Infinite Dungeons: Core Set, for example, can be used in conjunction with your Caverns: Core Set pieces. If you want to make your dungeon passageway open up into a natural tunnel, you can! The modular terrain system is designed for multi-level layouts, too. Floor tiles can stack on top of posts and walls, giving you more visually interesting environments to explore. Modular builds allow assembling sections of your final setup, giving you easier access to all of the different areas, or allowing you to incrementally piece together a floor plan as it is being explored. Modular terrain breaks down and stores relatively flat, too. A shoebox may be all you need to store a complete dungeon build.
What’s the best way to get started?
There’s a list below of materials required. The sets come with fully illustrated instructions for each of the pieces. If you are really into the hobby, a Silhouette brand cutting machine can really make quick work of cutting out all of the pieces. Cutfiles are provided for everything – just load the printed page into your cutter, load the cutfiles and go!
It can be overwhelming if you are new to papercrafting. Starting with a simpler building (especially some of Paper Realms’ freebies!) is a great way to practice. A good rule to follow for modular terrain is to start small. Rather than thinking “I need to build hundreds of posts and walls!” think instead “I would love to a cool room for a key encounter to take place” and build just what’s needed for that. The gratification of being able to use what you’ve built right away really helps keep things going. Having one complete room is a lot better to start with than trying to make one of everything without a purpose, and never finishing. After that first room is done, build another set of pieces, and now you can set up even more encounters. You’ll have a large terrain set before long, but you won’t have to wait until the end to start using it.
