I love the style, but I'm not sure that 6/16 plain tiles is enough. Perhaps 8 would do better.

Is that a river I spy there?Whatever it is, a little concerned that the likely shapes are two "L"s of river or one "U", since you don't have enough straights to make a zig-zag through the board.
If it looks like it'll work as an arid landscape, I'll probably end up going with that one...
On The Lamb Games are backing for 3 sets so it's in everyone's interest. It costs nothing to send out a pdf might encourage a few new backers and On The Lamb might end up with extra sales of their own game plus they get to unlock further designs for their 3 choices if it brings more backers SWMs way.

Yeah, I told Justin I can't give him any additional funds, but I can at least give some support.
It seems like there's another game company interested in seeing those rolling fields happen too, for their own nefarious reasons. I wonder who it could be?

The town of Blackwater is near a small creek, isn't it?
You're right! What I saw as a third straight is actually an even-more-unnecessary second T-junction.
No. We don't need 2 T-Junctions per 8. That's even worse given how unnatural it looks when the road just stops and the paving begins without any curb (like that render shows).
One option is to set it up like extra parking for a building on the next tile over.
I'm not too worried considering we'll be getting more straight road pieces down the line. In the very least ill get some tiles for the new deadzone game if they come out with gridless rules.

I'd prefer if they make the Ruined Temple one solid theme. Overgrowth with some arcane undertones. The Promethian level at the end of Mass Effect fit that bill, and really could have been a battlefield for sci-fi and fantasy settings
If only there are no Roman columns, as these stop Eldar, DE, Tau, Necron, modern SciFi, High and Dark Elf players from buying these. Stick to Alien temple, add overgrowth to some, and people will be inspired by that terrain.
Agreed with the above!

It's gonna take numbers on this one to all those different themes people want.
OK, I added $15 to my pledge, takes it to $150K even.
Now we need lots more folks to do something similar, I want my trenches. My DKoK are quite far down the queue for painting, so if they're going to get done sooner, I need a reason to move them up.
H.B.M.C. wrote: Just like the roads. Too much detail and it becomes cluttered and unnatural.
Not exactly "rolling" or "fields" there. It's pretty much More 40k-friendly - or Mordheim/Fantasy-Skirmish etc than large scale battle. Got to agree with HMBC though, too much stuff happening for "rolling fields" and having stuff in the middle of each tile just makes it look, well, tiled, repetitive, cluttered and unnatural. (no matter how much you rotate the "crater" tile)

But I don' think this one is going to take off until the 'freebie' Incentive Add-Ons etc. get announced.
I'm personally not worried about the freebies so much. It's the long (1-2+ year) wait that something like the trenches will take that's putting me off. There's not much of a price break to incentivise paying that far upfront, even if that theme is safely unlocked by that stage without my help.
Wait, so do I (wargamer level) get the Brushfire PDF?
I'm always down for new rules, and I know nothing about the game.
