MisterVimes Posted August 21, 2003 Report Share Posted August 21, 2003 I've been working on some downloadable 6"x6" Terrain Maps. They are nothing special, but they have some nice detail. I put them on the download section of My Website . There aren't a lot of them yet, but I'm working on it. Anyway, you can find them in My Download section Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are nothing special, but they have some nice detail. NOTHIN' SPECIAL?!? Co-MasterV you do yourself an injustice. These are awesome. Looks like I'll be right clicking my little, minion fingers off when I get home this evening. The maps are fantastic. I love the 'cycle mini, too. I used to have a 600 Ninja myself, until parenthood and responsiblity got in the way (Mrs13 made me sell it. ). If I might ask, what are you using to make the maps? I'd be interested in giving it a go, myself. Thanks for all the hard work. Now I can see why we haven't seen you for a while. :: He bows and thinks, "what an industrious Co-Master I have". :: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do all the work in Photoshop 7.0 With the Maps I make a 6"x6" file at 300 pixels per inch and I draw everything by hand. Then I add the Hexes and fade them. Then I reduce to 100 pixels per inch. My future plans are: Hospital Interior (using the Warehouse format) High-School Interior (using the Warehouse format) Park Monument add-on(an overlay for the park) Convenience Store (using the standard store format) Mad Scientist Lab (using the Large Builing Format) Headquarters/Mansion (using the Warehouse format) Prison/Superprison (using the Warehouse format) As far as the Minis, I will probably add some more, but most of mine are reduced scanned images that HERO will probably sell (so I don't want to violate any copyrights) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aylwin13 Posted August 21, 2003 Report Share Posted August 21, 2003 Well' let's just say I'm impressed. Keep 'em comin' and I'll keep stea##... ahem, I mean borrowing 'em. As for the minis, I have some 700 or so character jpg's that I'm making into minis. Plus the Marvel ones, and the old SJG Cardboard Heroes. I think I have more than enough. I do like the SWAT/agent minis. You can never have enough soldier/agents. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RPMiller Posted August 22, 2003 Report Share Posted August 22, 2003 These are obviously well thought out to be used in a modular way. I like that type of format. It is great for ad hoc areas/battles. Major kudos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MisterVimes Posted August 22, 2003 Author Report Share Posted August 22, 2003 For those of you downloading the maps, I updated the Road Tee . After printig, it was out of alignment with the other road segments. That has now been fixed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MisterVimes Posted August 22, 2003 Author Report Share Posted August 22, 2003 Another update. I added the 4 sections of the Mad Scientist Lab and an add-on for the lab that contains: 1)A Nuclear Missile 2)An Atomic Brain in a vat 3)A Huge creature under glass and 4)A Laser containment grid.

Redmenace Posted August 23, 2003 Report Share Posted August 23, 2003 I've loved em all but the last batch have been among the best. That pizza parlor still stands out. I spent almost $20.00 on SJG's Haunted house floorplans and, save for allready being printed and with hex& square grid, they didn't look as nice as your stuff. Thanks again for making them available.

aylwin13 Posted August 23, 2003 Report Share Posted August 23, 2003 Even more crunchy map goodness! I'm hardly able to contain myself. If you continue to make them, we will come (and "borrow" them). Thanks for sharing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BarryB Posted August 24, 2003 Report Share Posted August 24, 2003 I agree with the previous posters. Excellent work. Professional quality. I would pay for most of them. I hope we don't use up all of the bandwith allotment of your site downloading these things. I'm going to laminate them. I used a few of them today in my gaming session. Aside from the common problem of sliding around (I gotta find a sticky mat), they worked fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aside from the common problem of sliding around (I gotta find a sticky mat), they worked fine. Excellent idea! And if I may make a suggestion? You can do one of several things to keep them from sliding around: Print them on static plastic sheeting (the stuff they make window decals from) Print them on heavy card stock Attach velcro to each side, and allow it to overhang so that the pieces can be velcroed in together Attach a thin piece of rubber pad to the bottom (the stuff they put on the bottom of coasters Just a few ideas there.

Typically, I use a little of that blue tacky stuff to secure the map... and I plan to laminate them myself and I recommend printing them on cardstock.

GreyGuardian Posted August 25, 2003 Report Share Posted August 25, 2003 Those are WAY cool! I have recieved prods from the folks that have played in my dark champions campaign about one too many warehouse - You have freed me from the barren wasteland of warehouses! regarding the sliding around - ruber shelf paper and super glue or some other adhesive works wonderfully to keep terrain flat and from sliding. I used that for my mage-knight terrain. There is also the tape it to the darn battle mat theory as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
