This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Tact-Tiles Kickstarter

Void Star Studios has just launched the Tact-Tiles Kickstarter.

QuoteThe original modular, expandable, versatile, wet and dry erase gaming surface for miniatures and role-playing games.
 
Tact-Tiles are highly portable, rigid, thick plastic, wet and dry-erase, gaming tiles. No more erasing the mat and starting over when the PCs run off the edge! And no more fussing with a rolled up mat!

The new run of Tact-Tiles are 100% compatible with the original Tact-Tiles from BC Products.

Each tile measures 10.5"x10.5"x.125", and weighs about 9 oz. And unlike the original Tact-Tiles, the new design is both dry and wet erase.

If you are a gamer who uses miniatures, or just in need of a good portable dry-erase and wet erase solution, Tact-Tiles will provide you with the best solution for a play surface.

Unfortunately, shipping for outside the U.S. is a... tad on the expensive side.  Just advertising this Kickstarter 'cause the original has been out-of-print for a long time, and I'd like this over a Chessex battlemat. :P

$21K raised in the first day, nice.

Apparition

At the $34K mark, so more than 37% there. :P  Supposedly, an add-on for more tiles will be added later today.

I wasn't going to post in this thread anymore since it already looks like I'm talking to myself :P, but...  Some Canadian pledge tiers have just been added to the Kickstarter for any Canadians interested.

Apparition

Four days remaining, with $13K to go to reach the goal.

Has anyone used these?

How are they superior to a battlemat / vinyl grid map?
