I did 99.9% of the work myself with just a bit of help in the attic from my brother Shawn. All lighting is controlled by the DM via a dimmer/control box mounted under the table. When you walk in the lights automatically come on via a contactor mounted in the closet. There is also hidden strobe and fog machine for effects. I also mounted speakers in the beams and have a sound system in the closet. Here are a few photos... This is facing West The Northwest corner(cage and helmet are props from 1st D&D movie) The windows during daytime Northeast corner 1(cover art to N5 on wall, folding lantern is from 1st D&D movie) Northeast corner 2 Main door(handmade skeleton key needed to exit) Southeast corner(cover art to C3 on wall, keyring hides motion sensing light switch) Weapons rack(designed/built it myself, most weapons are from 1st D&D movie) Southwest corner Portcullis 1 Portcullis 2 Closet 1 Closet 2 Closet 3 Closet 4 Grug Greyskin Prolific Collector Joined: 17 Mar 2008 Last Visit: 14 Mar 2010 Posts: 350 Location: San Jose, CA Posted: Sun Jul 12, 2009 12:29 pm Just incredible - great pics! carrejo Prolific Collector Joined: 26 Dec 2008 Last Visit: 14 Mar 2010 Posts: 190 Location: Miami, Florida Posted: Sun Jul 12, 2009 12:37 pm wow...thats incredible...     Badmike Grandstanding Collector Joined: 23 Jun 2003 Last Visit: 13 Mar 2010 Posts: 5636 Location: DFW TX Posted: Sun Jul 12, 2009 12:38 pm Guys....just amazing!!!!!

Kosh Vorlontay Prolific Collector Joined: 21 Feb 2003 Last Visit: 09 Mar 2010 Posts: 728 Location: Spokane, WA Posted: Sun Jul 12, 2009 6:01 pm Question Devon, Are the walls made from actual stone blocks or are they tile? Are they homemade or purchasable? If purchasable, what is the series/model/design of the tiles/stone? Are the beams solid or are they plank construction to accommodate the wiring for the lighting and speakers? The design concept is wonderful and would go well with any basement or even an office, both of which I need design ideas for. Awesome concept and design work!!!
