We've been testing out some ideas for scenery and terrain to use in an upcoming Rogue Trader rpg campaign. As with our Pathfinder and The One Ring campaigns, we'd like to supplement the traditional pen and paper rpg experience with miniatures and terrain, especially during combat. The concept was to make modular boards that could represent the interior of a giant spaceship, or any other interior location we might need for the grim dark sci-fi setting. So far we have four 12"x12" pieces that can join to form a 2' square. This will be expanded to nine pieces, allowing a 3'x3' board with some 16"x20" pieces to accommodate larger spaces if necessary. We've been experimenting with a variety of surface textures that while are visually interesting, don't interfere with placement of the miniatures. So far so good.
those look really cool
ReplyDeletewhere did you buy them ayt?
Thank you! We made them ourselves using blank 12"boards from a craft store, then added the textured bits and painted them. Next up, walls of some sort. Cheers!
DeleteThey look simple but very effective. Very nice, and very useful.
ReplyDeleteThank you! We wanted something that would be very versatile and could be used in a variety of settings. They haven't seen action yet, but I think we'll end up using them in our next Rogue Trader RPG session. Cheers!
