Re: Suggestions from the peanut gallery

This sounds like a job for Erinthor mountains and cliff pieces on one side, and cavern elevations and stairs on the other. Strategically placed elevation blocks (don’t forget those negative spaces!) would allow you to put some kind of cover over the underground sections of the set-up. I’m thinking s...

Re: We Need a Boats Kickstarter!
