Bryan Mullins keep in mind I know nothing, just fiddle with stuff until it works. The image I started with was a public domain image from the ESA, over 6000 pixels wide. I shrunk/cropped it until it was 4608x3456 pixels. I added the hexes with Hexpaper Pro from S. John Ross and using trial and error, I discovered that 144pt. font made 1.5" hexes exactly at that size. I had that printed on a vinyl banner at 4' wide x 3' tall and this is how it came out.
Used Banners.com, was super fast, and you can get just about any size you want. 4'x3' is perfect for my dining room table.
Originally shared by Jonathan Tweet Tonight, my "Lethal Damage" 13th Age campaign draws to a close. Meanwhile, the guys are work have talked me into running a couple D&D sessions for them. That was the day 13th Age was announced, and they're happy to play 13th Age instead. That will be my "Great Center" campaign, based in the imperial capital of Axis, the center of the world. It's my opportunity to explore the setting from yet another perspective.
Correction in comments, I'm still mad Ok, I found out the 5e allosaurus from Tomb of Annihilation was only CR2 and was outraged, so I made a comparison of a D&D character and allosaurus specimen MOR 693. Then I compared the allosaurus to a polar bear, also CR2. The bear has 5HD and the allosaurus has 6HD. So, I take it back. CR 2 is fine.
Sweet!

Very cool.
ReplyDeleteHow thick is the vinyl, and what did the 4x3 print cost?
ReplyDeleteIt's thin, like a Chessex mat, but with a fabric back. About $30 to print and $10 shipping.
ReplyDeleteWow that’s really nice! I need a mat for Star Wars Armada and may do similar
ReplyDeleteVinyl battlemats forever now. I will never make another terrain board.
