Here’s an area of terrain-making that I’ve never thought of: underwater ruins. But why not? There are a lot of cool fish people miniatures available these days and lots of RPG rule sets that are flexible enough to accommodate underwater adventuring.
In this Black Magic Craft, Jeremy creates a ruined underwater building scene. As someone who has used aquarium plants to create alien flora, it’s fun to see them being used in an actual undersea build. And cutting the foam-based ruins on an angle so that they look like they’re sinking into the sand is inspired.
Stop breadboarding and soldering – start making immediately! Adafruit’s Circuit Playground is jam-packed with LEDs, sensors, buttons, alligator clip pads and more. Build projects with Circuit Playground in a few minutes with the drag-and-drop MakeCode programming site, learn computer science using the CS Discoveries class on code.org, jump into CircuitPython to learn Python and hardware together, TinyGO, or even use the Arduino IDE. Circuit Playground Express is the newest and best Circuit Playground board, with support for CircuitPython, MakeCode, and Arduino. It has a powerful processor, 10 NeoPixels, mini speaker, InfraRed receive and transmit, two buttons, a switch, 14 alligator clip pads, and lots of sensors: capacitive touch, IR proximity, temperature, light, motion and sound. A whole wide world of electronics and coding is waiting for you, and it fits in the palm of your hand.
