I use a battlemat for general encounters, and I use a variety of 3d stuff (including scratch build boats and campfires) for big scenes I want to present. Flat takes up the least space compared to any 3d solution, and it is more likely to be quickly assembled for a scene.īattleMats are the ultimate in re-usable, but the art is usually the worst compared to other pricier solutions. They're great for those who have space issues. From what I've seen it's also the best in the paper category.Īlso, since it has tons of props, it can fill in gaps in the other 3d contenders (my MK stuff has few props).Ġone games and Skeleton Key and WotCs tiles are nice looking, but flat.

WorldWorks is good for those who want to build it themselves and keep costs down. MK's 3d Dungeons looks good for those who want cheap, non-paper, and pre-built HirstArts looks great and is for those who want to build the best It's nice, and cheaper than DwarvenForge.Įach product has its price level for the audience who wants it.ĭwarvenForge looks great for those who want the best with zero work Having been a big MK player, I have a huge collection of the 3d wall stuff they made. I've been keepingmy eye on worldworks' stuff and it does look good. If you have any doubts about cardstock, its durability, value, quality and any other concerns come join us at the WorldWorks Games forums and talk with other users of the product Hopefully small businesses like WorldWorks can maintain some small foothold in the industry we’ve helped revive before it becomes oversaturated with competing products. I think gamers are changing their minds about cardstock terrain for the aforementioned reasons and companies like WOTC are taking notice of this grassroots trend. They look just as good (and in some cases better) than molded pieces, they are sturdy enough for multiple replays and you can’t beat the price.

I would like to think that the "new generation" of cardstock models for RPGing have raised the bar to the point where they've become a real viable alternative to other more expensive plaster or plastic cast options. I do have to say though that quality was certainly lacking in those early releases and because of that many gamers have a warped notion of what cardstock terrain is today. Highly recommend.Well, credit where credit is due of course and I have nothing but fond memories and respect for those days of old.

Easy assembly with super glue, add some posters and scenics to taste, and you’re good to go. Price is good, pre-cut, printed colors and details are crisp.

So I went for a low cost, minimal labor 2 x 3 playing area using WorldWorks ‘Streets of Titan’ tiles and Plast Craft buildings. Can’t have chrome and mirrorshade minis blasting away on mere gridded map tiles, can we? In preparation for our upcoming cyberpunk RPG games, (both Pathfinder and Savage Worlds iterations) the tabletop miniature gamer in me demanded suitable 3D terrain.
