I located a new Kickstarter campaign this week, which for my use and play style has quite a bit of potential. Designed for either tabletop or RPG gaming with hex-maps in mind, the design is a large collection of terrain pieces to represent various terrain features. After printing the sample model (pictured at 150% scaling), I am rather excited about the options.
For my use, this will be for campaign world exploration (similar to Kingmaker-style world-building), though I can also see it for use in various hex-based board games (Catan for one).
The tiles are detailed, and should be easily painted without too much effort. With the kickstarter program, the unlocks also include map framing to make a squared off edge, and I have thoughts of even using these for an ongoing and organic new world setting – to be discovered and explored by a group at the time.
If you have interest, the Kickstarter is still active, for a surprisingly inexpensive cost – though of course the actual printing process will be time consuming.
