Personally, I'm not a believer of the map deciding the features. I've attached an image of the terrain layout. I would show the map, but the grim reality is that someone has a hard-on for copying my designs so I'm not posting it until it's finished. Not a city scene, fantasy temple.

The orange squares would be the pyramid braziers. The map is designed for a specific theme with Team A getting the bottom starting area and Team B getting the top five areas. It's half indoor, half outdoor.

1. I hope the name of the map changes before you publish the darn thing.

2. I understand the "need to know" basis. "Grim reality" is cracking me up.

3. I think some outdoor elevated would be cool for the map. There's already some hindering out there if I'm reading this right. Four squares, not one, to be certain, for me.

I don't really understand what you mean by the bolded.

Sorry, meaning that IMO a 2x2 period should be the same type of terrain whether it's on a map of Gotham, a forest or a Halo mission map. It irks me that that map itself could dictate what type of feature the pyramid could be.

So, you're saying that if a 1980 Chevy El Camino takes up six squares and is hindering terrain on one map, it should take up six squares and be hindering terrain on ANY map in which it appears and a if Smart Car takes up two squares and is blocking terrain, the same should be true?

Nope and yup... I'm saying that every private passenger automobile should have been six squares and hindering.

Okay, I'll agree with all the cars being hindering, but if the El Camino is six squares, there's NO way the Smart Car should be six.

Or maybe you don't consider a Smart Car a private passenger automobile, in which case, you'd be correct.

Either way, that Wizkids map where all the cars in the city are two squares each is garbage.

The braziers are little more than a fire at the top of small stairs. They don't occupy the whole square, how could they be more than hindering?

The "y" button is obviously not broken.

What gives?

I have a couple of friends to went the beer route and it tasted great. I would need more room than my apartment to do beer as my friends use their second bathroom for this.

Blocking terrain would fit best.

I agree with Wade...Elevated.


And Happy Easter everyone.

Good old SpellChecker13!

How was Rich's game yesterday?

My games were fun. People were amused at my concept, for the most part (there's always someone who would do it differently). There was some frustration over some of the teams played. But in big point games, I figure you have to expect those things.

Did you have fun at the con?

Unfortunately we couldn't go on Saturday. Julie and I had a work emergency and a family situation come up expectantly.

I also have an emergency dental appointment first thing in the morning tomorrow so the weekend has been fan-fudging-tastic.
