That's what I am aiming for with my gaming table. It's a really characterful image. I love these models and with Dave's stuff we can go some way to getting it.
I would love to see some with more exaggerated overhangs and less symmetrical and rectangular (shambles in York but even more erratic)

The above image looks like it could be in a steam punk-type of setting, which both Dave Graffam and Fat Dragon Games have slightly tapped into. My personal goal is to continue to design unique buildings and building types that has never been done before. I only wish there was a way to speed up the process!
If you're feeling inspired and want to see something specific, feel free to post your ideas. I will see if I can incorporate them in the Mystic Mountain product line. That said, I have a few irons of my own in the fire working through the design process to make the models a little less complicated to build. In addition, I'm considering building out a few battlemaps that would be too big as a 3D model.
Last but not least, a question: Would you find a kit of fantasy based DM accessories such as area templates and various counter markers valuable for your gaming group?

Here's my 2ยข WWG did a couple sets of templates and tokens (http://www.worldworksgames.com/store/index.php?view=catalog&cat_id=4). I've owned them for a while, but have never made any. Guess they don't suit my D&D gameplay style - I can figure out areas of effect without much effort, and having more things to move around the table and add clutter just to denote conditions isn't appealing. I use paper minis and lego figures when playing. The paper minis tend to get slotted into a foamcore base. I've been imagining some simple status markers that could easily slot into the 1" foamcore squares - maybe instead of one slot down the middle of the base, I'd have three evenly spaced. The mini goes in the middle slot, and modifiers can slip into one of the other two slots, allowing for a couple conditions to be applied... P.S. I like the idea of battle mats that incorporate the actual footprint of your buildings. It would serve as a nice kitbash tool for those of us who really want buildings with interiors.  |

We have used colour coded map pins stuck into foamcore bases. Works great. You can re-use the holes so the bases don't look awful.

If anyone would find it useful I would be happy to put together a gallery of old buildings from here in Newcastle. Various eras from 14th Century onwards. |
