Getting roads to just ruddy lay flat
It's all about immersion
I realised a little while ago that I enjoyed my games more when the gaming table looked more realistic. Immersion made the whole experience just more enjoyable. My first step was creating a teddy bear fur gaming mat. This made a huge difference from the green sheet of canvas I was previously using.
I also made some hills that I quickly discovered looked more realistic when placed under the teddy bear fur gaming mat.
In addition to my old roads being old and crap, they’re also rigid. So when you put them on this gently rolling countryside, it just ruins the immersion.
Roads should conform to the contours of the countryside, not do this:
So I’m going to aim to make flexible roads that will sit onto hills and look more natural. I’m also going to try and do this cheaply and with minimum effort.
So I’ll use this project to illustrate what I got wrong and right.
