What are you working on today?

I'm getting ready to run a quest this evening for a couple friends who are new to the game. Just a simple intro kind of quest, nothing too fancy.

Then later this weekend I might finally get around to painting some Death Knights that I primed about a month ago but never got around to doing anything more with.

So after a stupid long absence from both HeroQuest and crafting in general I finally tackled making a new game board. A few years back I made tiles for all the rooms/halls for a modular system, but after several rounds playing with them it became apparent that they slowed down gameplay way too much, and the way I built my doors was far too haphazard resulting in having to reset the board numerous time each level.

About a week ago I stumbled across this video which finally got me crafting again: https://youtu.be/4sTWbtpk_I4

Tonight I finally got the supplies together and set out to build the tri-fold board, with one variation. I really wanted a way to keep my game pieces from getting knocked around so I decided to add a layer of thin sheet metal under the board grafic, and magnets to the doors and (hopefully soon to be built) furniture.



In the end the board didn’t come out perfect (it’s the first real game board I’ve ever done) as some of my cuts aren’t perfect but overall I’m extremely happy with the results as the board sits absolutely flat, is heavy enough not to slide when bumped, but not so heavy that it’s cumbersome.





I also got started on fixing my doors by adding a small base with a small strong magnet in it. The result is super secure, but not so much it will damage the board at all

Prototyping a furniture build for my set. The table is from a paper craft pdf I found and backed with balsa wood (actual build will be a more robust material) the base has a small magnet imbedded so it sticks to my metal-lined board. Pretty happy with it.

Man! That's really cool! Quite talented. And I would imagine patient. Far more on BOTH counts than me.
Well done
