New terrain?

[xraine69]

Does WOTC have any new terrain in the works for 2010? Love the new DnD Master and the figures are great! Just don't want to be buying master sets all year.

That we know of? No.

That they () know of? Well that's another question entirely



In all seriousness though, probably not. We just got the new Master Set not too long ago. Waves D1 and D2 are scheduled for release in March and sometime later in the year (like autumn). Right after WotC took over there was some question as to whether terrain expansions would continue at all because of profitability issues. They did have a desert expansion set up, but I doubt we'll see that any time soon if at all. Right now the current flavor is DnD. There have been no hints at another terrain expansion for this year.

There have been long discussions and we'd all like to see them. At this point, even the playtesters have agreed that terrain sets in each color would be great. But there are no prospects of any right now.

In the meantime, if you're not a crafty guy yourself, you can buy all kinds of terrain, including custom stuff online. For example, I have 24 hex desert and snow pieces that others have made. There are also terrain 'mats' sold, flat paper hex sheets; the water ones are particularly useful. Good hunting!

I highly recommend Cav's (I believe they are Cav's) Lexan terrain mats.

They are Cav's.

I wouldn't put it out of the realm of possibility. Since WOTC used the single and triple spaced glaciers for D&D, they could use the 4 and 6 space for D&D as well. I don't think we'll see one this year but I still have hope that we will.

Personally I don't think they would do that. Thematically, do you really expect to see a huge glacier sized stalagmite in a cave?

No, I don't. However, do you believe that the current direction is the only direction that WOTC is going? No, I don't either.

I think for the next little while they are just going to continue releasing a couple double pieces with the booster packs. Dungeon and Snow pieces IMO, maybe because of the new elementals.
Maybe even some Lava pieces?

How about a New Terrain set that makes heroScape a Green game?

A new Classic heroScape set that recycles all the old My Little Ponies!




Classic heroScape goes Green!



Sorry, land.scape, couldn't help myself...

I'll second that. I've got several and they are invaluable as supplements for large maps, etc.

Also, there's another thread recommending custom tiles from LITKO. The price seems a little steep, but if you are jonesing for some different terrain, this might scratch the itch.

I just ordered the acid and tar (I'll post pics of how close they are to shadow tiles).

The new sets will have glyphs, but they will not have any terrain.
