Re: HyGroundTiles- 3D printing custom terrain
We really appreciate hearing your input. You have to remember kickstarter is to help cover the hundreds of molds needed to produce all the pieces and that is expensive! Shipping is also included which raises the price. We may work on adding a smaller pledge level. Especially if people are interested in small things like the Chasm Mat. It's great hearing what everyone has to say!

Re: HyGroundTiles- 3D printing custom terrain
I'm interested in seeing a demonstration of how well these tiles work with Heroscape tiles.

Re: HyGroundTiles- 3D printing custom terrain
Just my 2 cents
I don't really understand the want for Heroscape tiles to be used along-side Hyground tiles. Personally, I want the Hyground tiles to, more or less, take over the Heroscape community and allow for newer player to get into the game easier. Thus, I think old player should evolve and use the new tiles. I will still be keeping some old heroscape tiles but I plan on even possibly selling some old tiles so I can help make the new ones. I think that if this project gets off the ground it will help grow the Heroscape community and help keep it alive. Who needs compatibility when you can have players! |

For me to invest money, I need it to work with the official Scape terrain. |

Re: HyGroundTiles- 3D printing custom terrain
I think $70 for the base set is very reasonable. That's a LOT of tiles, definitely a Master Set's worth as far as Heroscape goes, and this is being produced by a smaller company, direct to buyers, without the advantages that Hasbro had. Some of the add-ons are a bit pricy but there's so many little sculpted bits I'm not really surprised there. The lava set looks comparable tile-wise to Volcarren Wasteland and is only a few bucks more expensive.
The high goal is definitely a barrier, though. Hopefully you guys stick with it if this one doesn't work, though, as it IS a good idea and definitely has an audience. JOHNNY139'S CLASSIC CUSTOM THREAD! | Visit now!

Re: HyGroundTiles- 3D printing custom terrain
I'm somewhere in between the two of you. My collection is about half the size of mac122's (literally a little less than half) and I'm not interested in selling it, but I think the HyGroundTiles look awesome and would love to have some. I also like what they would do for keeping the game alive. Without being willing to sell my current tiles, I don't have lots of capital to dump on it though. I will be thinking about it over the coming days--if I don't spend all my $$ at GenCon I will definitely be considering going in at one of the lower entry levels.
-- I think the prices are very reasonable. The first Heroscape Master set was underpriced for the amount of plastic you got from it, really.

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 another mold.

Re: HyGroundTiles- 3D printing custom terrain
I totally agree with ScottyZ. They should start with plain brown base plus 3 or 4 caps and a tree or two to boost sales.
Getting one of each unique tile type or set costs 464$. And sets like desert or oasis don't have enough sand to build a proper island or desert area. |

Re: HyGroundTiles- 3D printing custom terrain
Considering the increased cost of materials since Scape started, and the factors johnny mentioned, the prices are not unreasonable.

Re: HyGroundTiles- 3D printing custom terrain
If the goal is to keep heroscape alive the project is doomed. Currently there are 706 active member on this fourm. Even if each one bought a master set worth (unlikely) it is far from a buisness model.
Clearly heroscape is a convient spin off. The money is convicening the warhammer (and similar games) crowd that this is a better option than their current detailed maps. I'm surprised that most if not all of thier pictures feature heroscape figures, I would think figures from active games would help entice those folks. I would highly recommend getting a Grid to Hex rule set for the various D&D verisons out there. Once in a while I run a D&D campaine on heroscape tiles, and this would be great for that. If the project launches I would likly get in on a few of the expansions, but as it sits I have enought base tiles. |
