Subject: Geohex Terrain amusement
I broke down and ordered a set of Geohex terrain. I am very pleased but more than a little amused. I've been making my own hex-based terrain with the Terrain Maker hexes. My brown underside/edge paint is an exact match for KR's, as is the flocking. I'm tempted to buy some of the road sections just to see if he uses the same stuff I do for the roads.:) Comparison? I don't have the time to cover my wargaming table in home made hexes. The Geohex stuff is definately worth every penny I paid for it. For my DS, SG, and Fantasy Rules! games it works out wonderfully. For my D&D game it works less well. A 4" hex is perfect for D&D as we don't have to measure or count little squares. It's 20 feet across, a 1" miniature base is 5", the rest is easy. I keep a folding ruler handy but rarely use it. <sigh> I only need about 40 more of the things to cover my living room gaming table. Back to the salt mines. If Geohex made 4 inch hexes I'd buy a mass of them in an instant. One word of warning, a cat can leave little holes where it walks on this type terrain. DAMHIKT.
