ABOUT DIRT CHEAP DUNGEONS

We saw the need for an AFFORDABLE modular dungeon system that was portable, durable, time-saving, and provided massive tabletop coverage.

Early in 2018, our tabletop roleplay group was looking to add a little something extra to our game. With the resurgence in Dungeons and Dragons, we had all begun to see advertisements for awesome-looking terrain pieces, each promising to add something amazing to our tabletop gaming experience. While each was unique, beautiful, or portable, none of them seemed to have everything we were looking for. Why can’t our walls and terrain look good AND not take hundreds of hours of painting? Why can’t they be portable AND not be completely ruined if someone spills a drink at the table? I mean, we were a rowdy bunch and accidents happen. One of the most glaring flaws we kept coming across is why did they have to be so damn expensive?! That is when we came to the most obvious solution: why not just make our own?

With a goal to strive towards, we began to combine our various skill sets to make that goal a reality. Through experimentation, trial and error, along with a ton of prototypes, we eventually came up with a design that fulfilled everything we were looking for, and for a price that didn’t require a second mortgage to own. That is how Dirt Cheap Dungeons came to be.  

Our design allows for easy portability and a huge area of coverage for the price. We injection mold our parts to make them durable and cost-effective, and pass the savings to you! One important factor that we wanted to make sure to address was to be conscious of the world around us. We are based out of beautiful central Oregon, and we are all avid nature lovers, so taking care of the beauty around us was a very high priority. That is why we use eco-friendly plastics that contain 30% pre-consumer recycled materials and renewable natural fibers to make them easy on the environment to simulate ‘stone’ and ‘wood’ aesthetics. We source all of our energy use from eco-friendly sources (97% Hydro and 3% Wind), and we are a partner with 8BillionTrees.com to be carbon neutral. Nearly all of the components of our sets are produced IN-HOUSE with the materials sourced here in the USA so you are truly supporting a small US business!

To say we are gamer geeks would be an understatement, as most of us have entire rooms of our homes dedicated to tabletop and board games! Gaming is not only our jobs but also our passion. We love interacting with our community and seeing what amazing things they are doing at their tables, and enjoy collaborating with other small businesses to help bring this hobby to more and more people. None of this would be possible without our wonderful supporters and fans, and we remind ourselves of that every day.  

Cheers,

The Dirt Cheap Dungeons Crew
