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.
Random idea for high-lethality D&D campaigns: Character death unlocks new classes and races. Maybe useful in “special snowflake” campaigns where no one reads your carefully crafted setting material. Instead you roll it out piecemeal as PCs bite the dust. “I really want to play a saurian warlock…sure, I’ll take a drink of that mystery potion.” Someone probably thought of this before.
Hey, I'm using Jeff and Brendan's 20 questions to help me get a feel for my upcoming Perdition campaign. Never done it before. Highly recommended. http://jrients.blogspot.com/2011/04/twenty-quick-questions-for-your.html http://www.necropraxis.com/2012/02/24/20-quick-questions-rules/

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.
