That makes sense but you're losing structure by doing that. Better to have the whole bottom glued. Especially since the top and sides are probably going to have to be shaped to the doorway.

The staircases *might* be OK after all. One reason for them to go clockwise was to be better able to defend the stairs against intruders - so in towers, you would want the staircase goind counter clockwise, so that a defender in the upper stairs could better strike an attacker (being right-handed), while the attacker would have his swings blocked by the staircase (being right handed). Now, you wouldn't expect attackers coming out of the dungeon, so the direction would see the counter clockwise, but with the stairs going up from the defenders point of view.

If you laid down some clear fishing line from the top of the fountain and then poured it the same way you may be left with a nice waterfall effect. Depends on the optical properties of the fishing line. Possibly optical cable may be better as it could possibly 'dissappear' when the resin cures.

The counterclockwise stairs have been built historicaly by a left-handed defender. Example is the Kerr family of southern Scotland. It was so prominent in that family that the term "Kerr handed" became slang name for Lefties or anything built with one in mind.

Your stairs are actually right for the context of a dungeon. Castles are built for defending against attacks from the bottom up. In dungeons it’s from the top down so it would be reasonable that the stairs would spiral the opposite direction.

Just getting my eyes on these videos awesome work, something I thought you might like is sprial staircases historically went both ways, ascending clockwise pre 300 AD and counter clockwise after realizing that if you were coming down the stairs defending with one hand and holding on with the opposite that most people were right handed and it needed to change.

If this is a dungeon, the adventurers are descending into it, in which case the defending monsters would want the spiral stairs the way you have them, so they can stab upward right-handed, while the adventurers have to work left-handed. It mainly makes a difference when there's a central column to the spiral staircase, anyway.
@TheMichaellathrop 2 жыл бұрын
Also the reason for the direction of spiral staircases is so that if you are right handed and retreating up into a tower you can swing freely but if you are attacking up you would not. If this is a dungeon where the designers intended for a fighting retreat to be going lower and lower it would be the opposite, assuming that it is designed around right handed populations.

i was thinking for a versatile piece to occasionally elevate my 3x3 or 4x4 tiles and the alcove one seems very functional, it can be placed under them as a "bridge" shape to simulate a canal or a sewer or even used as a pillar. You have my gratitude for the inspiration
@DireChris Жыл бұрын
Your spiral stair case direction is technically correct to go counter clockwise. There are several castles near me and almost all the staircases are counter clockwise. But there is a belief that the clockwise ones provided some advantage to defenders, although this comes from some obscure writings years ago and has been accepted as fact. The truth is if a sieging army had already reached the stairs of your keep, the battle was over.
@empryme 2 жыл бұрын
If you are having issues getting the screws to line up easily, I have used nails to do similar; specifically picture frame nails (I think that's what they are called). What's great is I could just push them in that way; I did not need a screwdriver or other tool.
@knghtbrd 2 жыл бұрын
I'd say you might want left and right hand spiral staircases, depending. Think which hand holds a handrail as you walk up the stairs. Say you've got towers as part of fortifications. Attackers may be trying to climb the stairs while defenders are above them. You want the stairs to spiral in a direction that frees the arms of the defenders, but hampers that of the attackers. That means if the stairs are outside, they should spiral clockwise. If inside, spiral counter-clockwise. When do you reverse that? When the stairs descend into the defenders, it's even more important because they're at a height disadvantage.

Castle spiral staircases expect the attacker to come up to the defenders, a dungeon spiral staircase would expect attack from above so would have the opposite spiral.

Dude, I like it. I crafted the same kind of terrain (almost exactly) but made of thick cardboard and painfully covered with egg carton bricks or rock texture (for caves). It was a nightmare, but saved me during the long, boring lockdowns here in italy. I made also "urban stacking blocks": 1x4 or 1x2 boxes (both 2 inches high) with tudor house stucco, wooden beams, stone bricks, doors, windows ecc. They are very useful, because you can quickly set up an urban encounter, without having tall buildings blocking the view at the table and providing all fancy details of a classic medieval town. Try that stuff, if you like.

The fountain is super cool, I wish some drips remained, but I guess hot glue could work after. And yes, authentic CASTLE spiral stairs went up clockwise as an added defenders advantage since most warriors were right-handed.. Simple genius! However as the castle scales upward, the dungeon scales DOWNWARD, and having counterclockwise stairs instead gives defenders advantage to the lower level.. Therefore your spirals ARE authentic for dungeons, imo.

Assuming your stairs are BELOW ground level they are build correctly as the attacker would be proceeding down not up placing the attackers dword arm against the central support limiting them to thrusts while the defender at a lower level has a full range of arm motion.

Direction of spiral staircases only really matters if they have an intended use. If the 'defenders' are meant to be downstairs, they should go up counter-clockwise. If the 'defenders' are meant to be upstairs, then the opposite. Basically assumption is that the owner of the place where the stairs are built is right-handed and they want to use spiral stairs as a defensive object. Doesn't really matter for DnD, most players won't notice or care; or ya know, you can always make more ;p

I was thinking the same thing, though rather than a full wash over the floor tiles, doing gradual shading towards the bottom quarter/eighth of the vertical pieces could help them stand out more, without completely redoing your colour scheme. Sort of like the shading on the staircase, but less intense.
