The frozen henge and purple portal thingy looked pretty cool. Thanks for sharing!

You know, as much as I love the idea of using terrain and miniatures for gaming, I've never had final push to pull the trigger and jump into using them. Minis I don't mind as much, but with terrain, I feel like it's kind of a one-and-done thing. Once you use it for an adventure, to reuse it again would feel, redundant, as opposed to just theater of the mind or drawing out a map. Still, pretty cool Kickstarter and set for anyone who delves into that stuff.

My experience with terrain as a player is that it looks cool, but it ends up being very limiting. You spend more time setting it up and trying to fit your minis into it that actually playing and enjoying the story. Still it is awesome to look at and see the things we all can come up with.

I'm the same way Sam, I find it limiting and restrictive, even if it does provide aesthetics. There is a guy who posts in one of the AD&D groups, on FB. His entire "campaign" is nothing but miniatures on an elaborately customized table with terrain. To me, that's not AD&D, that's just playing a miniatures game. This is one reason why I'm meh when it comes to Dwarven Forge, sure it's nice to look at, but there are only so many ways you can use a hall or room piece before it gets old.
