Custom wooden game board

Postby Lspam » December 27th, 2015, 7:31 pm

I spent some time last weekend making a new game board. All of the rooms are modular, a different wood, and they turned out very well. I read through the FAQ but can't figure out how to post a pic. Can a mod help me out? Once a picture is up I would like input from the community.

You need to have made a certain number of posts before you can upload attachments, ten I think.

No spam, just an anagram. It has been a while since I have used my flickr account, but I managed to put a photo up, link below. I would appreciate feedback from others, I am not sure the hallways have enough variation?

Looks good but I'd like to see some more variation in the rooms, such as swapping some squares over so that a couple of square rooms have a diagonal cross, X.

Beautiful board, that is a real work of art. Well done.

My feedback would be as follows;

- As stated, rooms need a little more definition... Just something to clearly differentiate one from another.
- The Passage sections REALLY need to stand out from the rest of the board, possibly a dark even stain Or super light? I don't know, but the passages should probably "Frame" everything else.

But yeah, beyond those quibbles that is a really nice looking board, something that, if one had the space, could be left on display like a nice chess board. Hopefully your minis, furniture, and tokens do the board justice?

Again, well done.
