Restartt's Take on a Physical Board for Aerena

So i have a bunch of friends that do a lot more tabletop/board games than online - you know, Settlers of Catan, summoner wars, Warmachine, Warhammer, Descent, etc.I figured this game would be right up their alley, but didn't think they'd try it if i said it was online.So i came up with this. A physical game board and all the add ons needed to play. All I need besides the print files is1 19x19 gameboard (the standard quadfold game board size, like http://i198.photobucket.com/albums/aa13/cavtech/FoldingBoard3.jpg) enough cardboard or miniature bases to fit all the walls/tiles/charactersa bunch of leftover TCG cardsAs i didn't have all the art assets at a high enough resolution (144dpi at 19 inches is a LOT of pixels!) and Cliffhanger has a unique artstyle, i went with a custom nautical theme.All squares are 1.5 inches (~3.8cm), so it's a pretty big scale. Plus, the characters and the walls stand up!My vision was to do this with miniatures, like a lot of games do, but without doing a production run, just buying them 1 by one, my costs started to go above $35, so i ditched that for folded paper.I've done a 144x144dpi gameboardof course, you need your ship (cut it out first!)You'll need some champions (cut and fold up like the picture!)And some walls (do the same cut job)You'll need to know what the champions do (cut out and paste onto any CCG or TCG cards, put in sleeves)(note i hadn't updated luna yet, ooops)And of course, cut out tiles to make the maps you want(with the new map editor files available now i might be able to make these look more like in game, i'll look into it)I'm also typing up the rules book, doing the health/aether tokens, and making stat cards for the ships and shells.The basic idea is the rulebook will show all the map layouts. You agree on a map or roll a die and use the map the number indicates. Each player secretly chooses the card for their ship, the cards for their three shells, and the cards for their five champs, and sets the rest of the cards aside.everything will have a red set for one player and a blue set for the other player, so they're easily distinguishable.Then you both reveal ships, roll a die to see who goes first, and start playing! the life preservers on the bottom are where you put player icons to show the turn order. It will play EXACTLY like the online version. (roll a die for random, 1-3 is low, 4-6 is high)
