Last year I backed the BattleSystems Kickstarter for their dungeon terrain. I missed out on the SciFi terrain Kickstarter, but was able to add it to my dungeon pledge. Well it's taken awhile, but today I went from this...
To this...
The terrain is all made from pre-printed cardboard and is modular so just fits together with small plastic clips. I have a few Doctor Who scenarios in mind for both the dungeon and SciFi sets - more on that soon (ish). But we intend on playing a game of Frostgrave first...
Update (Easter Sunday)
Despite Sunday's hail that made us stand in the conservatory with our ears plugged, we had a cracking game of Frostgrave today. Both wizards went down, but survived to play again - Mighty Kyle's wizard now achieving level 6... Still, my Necromancer managed to grab a couple of treasures, just as well since my Captain died from his wounds and I had to hire another! Here's a few photos from today's game (we found it very useful that the dungeon tiles were 1 inch squares - no need to measure for movement).
Looks like a brilliant set-up! Am I right in thinking you usually have to buy the clips separately? I've been tempted by these...
ReplyDeleteI think you can by more clips if you need them, but mine came with clips. I suspect you can always use more though.
DeleteBlimey that is a nice looking bit of kit.
ReplyDeleteHopefully our game tomorrow will do it justice!
DeleteOh my, that looks impressive! I backed the modern/post apocalypse one and will be thrilled if it looks half as good as this.
ReplyDeleteI didn't go for the last modern set. But now wonder if I should have - it would also work for Doctor Who... Oh well!
DeleteThat's not bad looking. If, if mind you, I ever try out Frost Grave I would definitely pick this up to make the game more fun.

Oh I do have a question about Frost Grave, is it like the Ronin set where you play on a 2 X 2 area? Is Lions Rampart also a 2 X 2? I'm liking the smaller play area these days.

Thanks Kevin, we did enjoy playing the game using the terrain. To be honest I set it up simply to see how it would look. I intend using it for a Doctor Who game. But once it was up we thought we might as well have a game of Frostgrave. Frostgrave is typically played on 3x3 boards. The Battlesystems set up was only 2x2 but worked well enough for our game. I have some more bits that could expand it somewhat if needed.
