Color me stupid, but I don't see how to download it.

Ah! Nevermind, I found it.

[Shinobi]

Those look quite nice!

Will download the freebie later (when the company server allows .zip downloads) and if its good enough will probably buy the other sets.

Nice find Yassine :wink:

And with suitable Dragyri weight test...

I really like it overall. The smallest tabs are a pain in the a$$ to score, but I was able to get it put together with only a few gaps that were very small. What you see in my pic is what you get. To be able to do the tower set that they have on the site and the front of the instructions of the tower, it would take 3 printings by my guesstimate (actually 2, but you need 3 of the parapet platforms, so 2 with one more of the page that that one is on). I'll probably do one more of the towers so that there is one on each side of the board (me and my symmetrical-ness in terrain placement). The rest of what he has is only $15.00, so I think I'll pick up the rest and put together as I have time.

Materials: My brother is a photographer who has different printing options available to him, I was able to get some decent cardstock to print these on (not sure of the weight of the card). On the bottom platform, and the top platform, I glued the platform section onto a piece of cardboard about the thickness you'd get on the back of a tablet of paper to make sure that it was going to be sturdy.

But I think I have definatley found some demo terrain as once you get it as far as I can see, you can print and build multiple copies (though I will respect his request to not pirate it, and only keep it to myself). I'm impressed overall and look forward to building more.

So, again.. nice work, Art and thanks for the heads up.

I'm still waiting for my email link. :(

[blkdymnd]

wierd, i got mine instantly

That looks pretty good as a freebie. Not quite WWG standards, but definitely usable in games.

The tabs are supposed to be glued on the outside or inside? If they are supposed to be on the outside, it looks bitchy to line the texturing up.

I'm still waiting till 5pm local time when my company server allows me to download .zip files. Once I get it in my grubby hands and have a look at the .pdf I'll decide if I want to get his other stuff.

@Pr0 - you should get the link within minutes. Check your account on RPGNow and make sure it has been confirmed.

Most of the tabs are to be glued on the inside of things. There are some tabs, like the walls around the platform that have support tabs that are glued to the actual printed surfaces, but they are made to blend in with the rest of it. And yes, at times it was a bit difficult to line the texture up. They do give you some corners that allow you to kind of cover some of the edge mistakes.

I did pick up the other two sets (I know, I could have bought more Dark Age...) and they look pretty easy to assemble and have a lot of great things that you can use for Dark Age, tons of walls barriers, rooms, ramps, and other things.

This was the first line of one of the sets that I thought, "was he reading Dark Age when he came up with this?"

"Imagine a mega-corporation going bankrupt on a hundred worlds. What would happen to their half-built planned cities?" Granted its not verbatim to the DA fluff, but pretty close

[Shinobi]

LOL very, very close!!

I'll download it later and see how it comes out.
