Custom cut tiles

[millermixture]

Thanx Rev.
I will try and get them in tommorows mail. Packed the extras we talked about and something special (Cracker-Jack prize) that I have been experimenting with. Hope u like.

Mike's customer service is outstanding. He helped me work out a deal to combine two colors of tiles that were not paired together in his most recent auctions! I'm sure his ability to be so accommodating varies upon request, but by all means shoot him a PM if you have any requests/concerns.

Although I've not received the tiles yet, I can say thus far that dealing with Mike has been awesome. I'll be sure to post again (with pics and opinion) when mine arrive.

Can't wait for the tiles!

Hmm. I'd buy 40 blue mirror if they ever become available. I think that'd be enough tiles to sufficiently wow my crew.

Perhaps a clearish gray to put over existing map spaces for like Fog.
Fog Rules: (Just made up now)
Range cut in half
Roll free disengages for everyone
For every space in to the middle you are in Fog you get 1 extra Defence die.

If there is such a color you can make these with please let me know I wantto try this now.

I have also purchased these tiles and I am very pleased.
But I also think 20 of the same color is Better than 10 and 10.

Cool...welcome to the site

[millermixture]

Well i have tried both ways. 20 of one color didn't sell well at all. 10 x 10 seemed to do better last couple of times. Not this time Rev.Bay. is only buyer currently. So let know the colors you would like.
CURRENT COLORS AVAILABLE:
• Red Mirror
• Black Matte
• Dark Green Opaque
• Dark Blue Opaque
• Light Blue Opaque
• Brown Opaque
• White Opaque
• Gray Opaque

I can arange things on a case to case basis. Using the current auctions I have up. Send me a PM notifying me what you would like and I will tell you which auctions to buy from then get you the tiles you need. Most of them I have a bunch of except the red mirror tiles which are all tied up in the ebay. Meaning that I have 40 of them left. I can't make more until I sell these. I use the money to buy and cut more.

My tiles arrived today...some pictures and opinion are below:


All tiles come with a protective coating that can be peeled off easily. Below are the black matte and red mirror tiles:



Since I have several pictures of two scenarios, I'll continue my report in the next post.

[ReverendBayes]

Scene: Cyprien's castle, the blood chamber. Or something. Cyprien's sacrifice has created a river of blood:



Iskra's sacrificial blood river merges with that from Cyprien's sacrifice:


And Sonya's sacrifice completes the confluence of the three blood rivers:


Now, what exactly have they sacrificed? I haven't the first clue. The cameras arrived late. Here's a picture from behind Cy:




With the tri-sacrifice complete, the vampires have successfully summoned...Marcu?



New scene: Sir Denrick is trapped in the blood chamber of the, uh, evil castle. Zombies are coming from everywhere, even from the blood pools:


Denrick tries desperately to escape, as his owner tries desperately to rotate figures:




New scenario featuring the black matte in the next post.

The samuri has infiltrated the Druid's keep, only to be trapped over the bottomless pit by the shades:

How hard would it be to make waterfall widgets with this technique?

Observations about the tiles:

They are very nice looking. They do, however, fit snugly with regular game tiles. So much so that it is better to shimmy them on to the regular tiles only from the bottom. Or equivalently, design the pattern using the specialty tiles first, then interlock the adjacent regular tiles after.

They are slightly *thinner* than a water/swamp/ice/lava tile.

There are endless rules variations that can go along with them...I haven't experimented with that side of things yet though. I'm interested in using a few mirror tiles as "teleport" stations for a large map.

I will say that the mirror tiles are way, way cool. Sign me up for the next mirror batch!!

Looking forward to showing these off...
