So much goodness.
 I keep being drawn to periods I should stay from.
 Is this a form of madness?  o_o or should it be this one :o
But is this.  :-*

Outstanding board!

How'd you do the terrain mat/sheet?

Ah, welcome, our new readers. Apparently it's full moon again, just like when I last posted here. Is there a connection?

Anyway, the mat is from Mat-o-War, occasionally available from Antenocitis too. I started from the beige one and applied liberal amounts of acrylics to make all the different ground types. Some flocks, scatters and sand were also used. However, one should be more careful with those. Too lightly fastened extras will fall off, too thick layers of anything may crack while rolling. Some flexible sealant might help.

For gently rolling hills, we stuffed two months' worth of newspaper underneath it. Many kinds of fillers might work - cloth, quilts, foam sheets and so on. Just make sure they can hold RAFM's large lead monsters if you're using any. It would be a nice touch to have "summits too rounded and symmetrical to give a sense of comfort and naturalness", but we settled for low ones to keep it playable.

I'm starting to like this kind of mats. You can store a dozen different ones in the space of one solid board. They fit in any kind of car, and there are no ugly edges spoiling your scene. The only downside is that a full size table is required first. Fortunately venues like this usually have plenty.

I may make an extension for this one some day...coastal or something...  ;)

Great looking game.
Would be interested in seeing the rules and event cards.
