Custom Terrain Cards

By Zetan, in Runewars Miniatures Game

As mentioned on page 23 of the Learn to Play book, custom terrain is encouraged for this game. My intent is to make cards for many of the terrain elements at my local store. I've created a Photoshop template for people to use creating custom terrain elements; just hide and unhide layers as necessary and edit the text to suit your needs. Huge thanks to @SirWillibald for all his help; this template wouldn't have come out nearly as nice without him. Here's the link: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B2OYzQ4YZGLcT3dScnRXd3ItcFk/view?usp=sharing

In case you don't have Photoshop, here's some resources for you to recreate a similar file in GIMP or whatever:

And finally, here's a couple of sample cards I made for the terrain at my local store:

Haven't tested these yet; the house may be a little OP, but it seems like it should provide more cover than the forest and at least as much fortification as the crumbling wall, so that's what I went with. The "Infantry only" restriction seems realistic and helps some with the power level (no way a Rune Golem is fitting through that door) and at 3 trays max you're not going to be sticking a really deadly unit in there. So I guess we'll see.

As I said on BGG, well done, and thanks a bunch! Hopefully others will benefit as well. :)

Hey Zetan - any chance you could provide an equally high quality scan of the back of the terrain cards?

And thank you so much for your work on the blank!

Sure, here you go:

As @SirWillibald pointed out over email, it could use moire reduction, like the other scan; more info on that here: https://www.thoughtco.com/remove-moire-patterns-from-scanned-photos-1700238

Photoshop template for the front is just about ready (including some moire reduction, thanks again to @SirWillibald ) and I'll put a link up later tonight.

Thank you so much!

Edited the first post to contain a link to the template, as well as everything else collected in this thread so far and a couple of the cards I've already created. :) Enjoy!

Made a last few edits to optimize for printing. If you downloaded the template already, it might be worth re-downloading. It is now CMYK and 300 dpi. I also fixed the kerning on the text fields and deleted the white corners (in case you want a different background for printing).

Zetan could you do the same for the objective and deployment cards?
