A truly excellent piece of scenery that you can’t touch, see or smell. Wes Otis’s audio sounds will add depth to wargames and rpgs that normal terrain just can’t touch. From a Dragon’s breathing to a jousting tournament this is one of the best terrains you can add and very special. I have bought his entire library from the kickstarter and I encourage others to support it as well.

What you get: Another interesting 3D board, this one is more focused on space combat and providing different playing levels for games and using the pieces as the board itself rather than levels. It will most likely get some very stiff competition from the earlier kickstarter Gamer Gridz which allows more modularity and levels.
