The Big List of Paper Terrain Makers
An ever-evolving resource for paper minis for D&D, Pathfinder, OnePageRules, Frostgrave, and more.
You may have seen my Big List of creators who make paper miniatures for TTRPGs and indie wargames. Now, it’s time to cover papercraft terrain!
To accompany this week’s video.
Some of these creators put their work out for free, or for pay, or some combination. You'll have to explore.
Most of these creators put their work on their own website, Wargame Vault, DriveThruRPG, or some combination. I'll try to link several of these where possible.
This is an evolving list! Feel free to send along your suggestions, make any comments, or message me anytime.
Onward!
David Graffam Models
David Graffam has the biggest range, his models are incredibly easy to put together (I throw one together in my tutorial video), and his stuff is almost always on sale. Highly recommended for papercrafters old and new!
Papierschnitzel
For vehicles, look no further. Besides terrain, including some good Viking and East Asian-themed terrain, he has an excellent set of carts, dogsleds, and, of course, the best papercraft ships you can get your hands on.
Paper Realms
Paper Realms is a great creator if you’re looking for tiles, outdoor, multi-tiered sets. An Ennie-nominated creator, you’re likely to see a Paper Realms set as the foundation of a papercraft scene or diorama. Probably the only person doing this kind of larger-scale outdoors work at this level!
Fat Dragon Games
Fat Dragon sticks out in my memory as the major paper terrain maker. But that’s all in the past, I don’t think they’ve put out a kit in years.
Still, you can buy a whole slew of great kits from them still, though I haven’t built them myself. And many of them have interiors as well!
Printable Heroes
Printable Heroes is best known for paper minis, but many of the props, pop-up walls, braziers, pillars, and rocks are excellent ways to get a collection of quick terrain going for your Ultimate Dungeon Terrain or whatever other fast scenes you need to throw together.
And it packs flat!
Paper Forge
Similar situation as Printable Heroes — mostly it’s paper minis, but there’s enough scatter terrain and pop-up walls to be worth perusing!
Crooked Staff Terrain
I haven’t built any Crooked Staff, but there looks to be a large line that is Pay-What-You-Want. Additionally, the creator has an expansive YouTube channel, and we love anybody who puts in the extra work to make their stuff accessible!
Whitewash City
Though I can’t recommend it from experience, a commenter pointed me toward this set for those needing Westerns, which is very rarely represented in papercraft terrain. Check it out!
