I thought people might be interested in this Kickstarter I'm running for building your own modular hex terrain, which, as a long time LOTR player, I designed specifically with SBG in mind. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/13 ... in-toolkit Attachment: river canyon.jpg I hope it's okay to post this here - I couldn't see anything in the forum guidelines to say otherwise.

Looks awesome and simple, kickstarter looks like it's been a massive success congrats. Can I ask how big the hexes are, 3in between flats? Could the river tool be used to make trenches? |

Hexes are 100mm from corner to corner, which makes them 86.6mm from face to face (about 3.5 inches). Funny you should ask about river tools and trenches - I'm about to launch that as the next stretch goal! |

Good luck, I hope this works out. I had made a similar set of terrain ~10 years ago and eventually had about 300 x 4" home made foam hexes including rivers, steams, 1-4 corner slopes, and had started working on dedicated forest and cliff tiles. The customization possible was awesome - Flatland? Check. - Big mountain? Check. - large river valley? Check - Escarpment/Cliff with several paths up? Check. What killed the project was the time taken to set up and put away the tiles - an hour plus to create a 4x4' board quickly got old fast. If I win the lottery and can afford a house with dedicated game space so I could leave the tiles set up I'd definitely give it another go, |

Congratulations on an innovative jig design. With 21 days to go at this point it looks like a great success  I appreciate the thought and work you put into this. However,I abandoned the hex terrain concept over 35 years ago.So I am not interested in the final product. I will not need the hex jigs. You have a talent for design. I would be interested in some templates for cutting melon and crenel to crenellate. This is a LOTR fourm so the style would be obvious.
