Title: My Hell Dorado gaming board
Post by: Chrysalis on October 13, 2007, 09:24:24 AM
The base is made of nine wood squares (10' x 10'):

With some rocky ashes hills:

In the game, it's called a souls accumulator:

Th whole thing fits in two plastic boxes, which is great because I have no room for a big game board:

Very nice board. I like the way you made it modular and easy to store/carry.

Well, as I've said, I really have no room for a gaming board in our flat (although my wife is really hobby-friendly) and since Hell Dorado is quite a new game, stores don't have many terrains elements yet (and elven forests aren't appropriate terrains). This way I can bring my board when there are tourneys, or when I play in a club.

Anyway, thanks for the kind words  :occasion14:

Are there specific items you want for your games?

I thought it was 10 foot by 10 foot at first, damn eyes !!!  looks great mate and is sinilar to what I have planned.  I am doing 4 x 3' by 3' sections to make it 6' square.  I may have to go down or up in size depending on space restraints but makes sense to do it in sections as not many people have the space for a permanent big games table  :icon_wink:

The board I made is necropolis themed. In the Hell Dorado background, the necropolis is a place of dead cities and corpses, there are things like:
- Giant animals skeletons.
- Hills of human skulls.
- Fields of corpses.
- Haunted battlefields.
- Antic ruins & temples.

There are also two other popular landscapes:

- Frozen desolation: snow, ice masses & fields, etc...

- Fiery inferno: volcanos, lava, smoke, cracks, etc...

There is also an Asmodée-supported campaign/tourney this autumn, that takes place in stygian swamps. Asmodée  has printed tableclothes for the swamp (the support staff bring them where there are big tourneys), and you can add paper/cardboard swamp elements that you can print yourself from their site.
