I'm thinking of putting out some FG-specific products - specifically, some extremely generic but nice-looking modules for battlemats in a variety of terrains and common terrain features. They wouldn't be C&C-specific, but my prototype is, so I figured I check in this forum.
The modules that I've looked at so far are either fairly limited in scope, and/or centered on fairly specific encounter situations, like a step-pyramid in a forest, so I'm hardly ever going to use them. What I'd like to see is battlemaps that are as flexible as possible for multiple game systems, time periods, and situations.
I think they should be pretty generic but still nice looking... so there wouldn't necessarily be a lot of ultra detail and clutter on the maps, so they are as reusable as possible. I figure GM's will spend their time tricking out the maps that focus on their module or campaign. I just want something for those random encounters, like "you're following the shore of the lake when 8 lizard men attack" ... BOOM, there's the tokens, and there's a nice looking lake side (or the meadow, or the small bridge, or the ford, etc.), let the battle begin. I'd see this as being a pretty inexpensive goodie - like a few bucks or something.
I've attached one here for your amusement - Plains, with a wagon road fording a stream - enjoy :D
I'm kinda half serious about following up with the idea as a real product, but I have at least created a basic module that I can share with a few GMs to see what their reactions are. If you'd be interested in taking a look at it in C&C, you'd be welcome to keep the module, of course.
If you're interested, please PM me your email address and I'll send you a link to download. Thanks for your time - and happy gaming!
