Dungeon Crawl 2015 (at 1000 Foot General)
Otherworld Skirmish- Burn Baby Burn, Part I (at Plastic Legions)
They remind me of the setups I used to do as a kid, with everything I could make terrain out of and all of my HO-scale soldiers. Plus, they're just flat-out beautiful.
Meanwhile, I have hex maps with circles drawn with dinnerware. It'll do, but it's simply not as cool.
Now and again, I think of the dungeonscapes I could come up with if I just printed up enough modular parts with the 3d printer. Then I think:
ReplyDelete1) it'd take weeks or months of printing to get that many and
b) I still wouldn't be able to use them because they're based on square grids, and there's no way I could get a hex grid superimposed on them all.
b) is tough. It would have been nice, in retrospect, if GURPS had started not as hex-based, but as inches-and-arc based. Like Car Wars.
DeleteI know there rules to do that, but they're not as easy as just sticking with hexes.
So I know this was literally a year ago but if you're still looking for 3D printable terrain for use with GURPS go look for stuff intended for Heroscape. There's a couple of communities out there making up models for 3D printing to use with that game/system and the only thing holding me back from doing it myself is the entry cost of a 3D printer.
DeleteGURPS works surprisingly easily on squares, as does D&D on hexes - or even switching squares and hexes within the same play session.
