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.
Where did it all go wrong, Casey? I can’t pinpoint it, but it was already too late when they remade 3:10 to Yuma and took a movie that was mostly two men talking about morality in a hotel room and put in a Gatling gun.
This is my gaming circle minus my ACKS players. I am such an asshole. Since they're in the big city now, the players really wanted to know if there were any magic weapons for sale. ACKS ain't 3e or 4e though. There is exactly one magic weapon for sale. I rolled randomly to see what it was and... ...it's a cursed -2 sword. So I told the players there's a weapons dealer/fence who's looking to get rid of a magic sword he's gotten ahold of...cheap. Only 6,000gp when usually a +1 item would be 10,000gp. So far they are not suspicious. They're going to be so pissed at me. I can barely contain my excitement.
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.
