Hi, folks!
My next map projects (not just Mass Transit IV, but two others as well!) are now up on Kickstarter:
http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/map ... s-and-moreMass Transit IV is more of a special event poster than some of my others: it presents both levels of a twin-deck starship, along with a same-scale view of the exterior hull itself. Lifts and ladders connect the levels, and the interiors feature the SWM terrain lines.
Incidentally, there's a new terrain feature in the ventilation ducts: doors made out of red wall lines instead of blue. They represent pressurized access hatches. My intent is that they function like doors, with two exceptions: 1) They don't open automatically after you become adjacent. (It takes some form of door control to open them.) And 2) they don't close automatically when someone is no longer adjacent. (Again, it takes some form of door control--other than satchel charge, of course--to close them.)
The Alien Starship Tiles expand on General_Grievous's tiles (which we made available for free at
http://www.mapsofmastery.com/downloads.html ) to build a full set of 12 double-sided terrain cards as an homage to the much-neglected (in map terms) Yuuzhan Vong. Mix and match the terrain cards to build an invasion fleet of gross-looking organic starships. They, too, feature the SWM terrain lines, and some may be fun for Tile Wars. (Timmer, I'd love to hear your thoughts on these...)
Finally, "Deck Space" is my answer to what some of you have long lamented: the lack of a commercially-available blank battle grid. One side is nothing but floor tiles that match my Sci-Fi Cargo tiles, letting you combine those products (or use the included sheet of 13 new tiles) to build custom skirmish layouts. The other side is similar, but includes railway pits to match my Mass Transit maps and let you continue the train tracks with your own custom layouts.
Check out the video on my Kickstarter page to see all three of these products in better detail; all of them are finished--I just need funding to get them printed.
Anyway, please share the link with your friends who don't visit here often! The more people who hear about these maps, the better chance we have of getting them into print.
Thanks very much!
