Re: HexScape
I'm not sure how it would work exactly but I'm trying to think of skies that would represent each general ("Nice day" = Jandar, "Apocalypse" = Utgar, "Grey Overcast" = Vydar, etc). Any ideas for the...

Re: HyGroundTiles- 3D printing custom terrain
Maybe a better approach would be to begin with less options, thus lowering the cost. I would start with a basic tile and several different color tops. Trees and stuff are cool, but each "thing" is...

Re: HexScape
I can probably come up with several different types of sky if I know what the requirements are. I don't want to make it any harder to UV map a sphere with a rectangle based image.

Re: HyGroundTiles- 3D printing custom terrain
Doesn't seem all that spendy to me.
I think it's important to remember that Heroscape is out of print. Also, if your FLAGS sells stuff like resin molded terrain, look at those prices. I won't go...
