Pools?

[TodCreasey]

One of my players has a Warden who loves to create pools all over the board. Are people making their own or buying them?

I made mine.  the base was a CD, to which I glued a 3" circle of heavy paper.  I then added a rim of glue around the paper, spray-primed, and painted and flocked.  Finally, I added some water effects to make it look like water.

The first thought I had when I saw the post was "Don't eat yellow snow!"

However, though I don't do frostgrave I am about to make some enchanted pools and mystic portals/gateways.  So I have ordered some cheap agate slices from China to see if they are the sort of thing I want.  The plan is to use them flat as pools with a scenic edge if required and the portals would be upright maybe with a surround or backing.



Edit:  found these on Etsy  https://www.etsystudio.com/listing/215455907/multipack-15-3-agate-slices-dark-blue

Now those agate slices are a cool idea.

Back to the point, I also have done some pools (on card) in much the same way.
very cheap to do, and will have to do some more.

brilliant - going to have to have look for these.

* and indeed I did - but hasn't worked out for me.
the cheaper ones about (hardly bargain prices) are rather small - and you don't get the brillance visually without a light source behind.
