I played a couple of campaigns with a GM who had a pile of (the older variation of) Tact-Tiles, which are simpler than the Saga tiles. (They're interlocking dry-erase squares with grids.)
I did a bit of poking around for similar products while looking for the name of the tiles he had. On one hand I'm a bit surprised that none of them seem to have done well enough to stay in print, but on the other they're a niche product in a niche hobby so I'm not that surprised. |

I knew about the Kickstarter and I checked the company while searching for similar products. They are out of stock, and every similar product I found while searching was either out of stock or their web site/company has since disappeared. Thus the statement about being a bit surprised but not surprised.
(Aside: This reminds me of the exchange I had with someone about how I replaced some cardboard coins in a game with one company's metal ones. Another guy said "These ones are better!", to which I said "Maybe, but the ones I picked are available.") Last edited by Parody; July 6th, 2017 at 08:27 PM. |

I've spent way more than I care to admit on every Bones Kickstarter. And like Michael Corleone, just when I thought I was out, they pull me back in....

I do own many Dwarven Forge sets. Fortunately I purchased them 20 years ago when you got a lot of pieces in the boxes for the money. Mine still have the bowtie connectors, which they discountinued years ago. I still use the sets for my games with miniatures.
RavenX Pronouns: She/Her Please do not PM me to inquire about datafiles I coded "for personal use" such as Exalted, World of Darkness, AD&D, or Warhammer 40K Roleplaying. I appreciate your interest, but I do not own the Intellectual Property rights to these game systems. Nor do I have permission from any of the Publishers to distribute the data files. As such, I cannot distribute the work I have done with community on these files. They are "for personal use" only. Thank you. I am far too busy these days to answer emails. If you message me here there is no guarantee I will get back to you at all. |

Hirst Arts user here myself. The beauty of Hirst Arts is that it can fit nicely with Dwarven Forge, so go for both! I think people who make Hirst Arts love the creation of the set first, and then see that they find use on the table afterwards. Each approach (digital, Hirst Arts, Dwarven Forge, Lego, imagination) all have their advantages and disadvantages but as long as the result is an enjoyable game for the players and GM, go for what you are comfortable with.
Here's some of my HA work for the curious. http://imgur.com/gallery/phIki http://imgur.com/a/tlnRj http://imgur.com/a/Lwx5R http://imgur.com/a/NHquH |
