Steve Jackson Games is launching two new lines of modular terrain: Hexscape for hex-based games, and Squarescape for games that use (you guessed it) squares.
Consider this a "gamma test." We have tested these on a variety of machines, we've built layouts, we've played real games with them. Now, for each line, we will sell a limited number of sets of terrain – along with 3d design files (STLs) for printing the models on your 3d printer – and we look forward to your feedback.
Each "Launch Set" includes BOTH physical pieces and the STL files to print more:
PHYSICAL PIECES. Unpainted, unpunched dungeon pieces, plus 45 connectors. These will be 3D printed at our office* and shipped in the order that they are ordered (so to speak).
STL FILES. Files for all the physical pieces you get – plus, of course, the connectors. And a couple of bonus bits we call "krunks" that you may, or may not, use to dress up the edge of your layout. You can use these STL files with either a resin or filament printer to create your own. Make as many as you need (but please, no resale!)
We will sell these through Warehouse 23 (only), for $30 per set, shipping sometime soon after FnordCon.
Physical Parameters:
Hexscape is based on a hexagon 1.5" across** – generously sized to hold standard circle or hex bases. Columns (which form walls) are solid hexes. This is the scale of the Fantasy Trip Melee maps, and also works with GURPS, Gloomhaven, and others.
Squarescape is based on the 5-foot square, beloved by the OSR movement and, of course, by fans of the original Dungeons & Dragons. Each incised square is one inch** and walls are 2" high. A standard Squarescape piece is a 2" square with built-in walls, compatible with the most popular (and expensive) molded terrain sets.
Both sets use hidden H-locks to connect pieces. These can be glued to create your own permanent dungeon scenes, or left unglued to keep everything in place on the table yet allow easy reconfiguration as the party moves along.
All pieces have provisions for adding magnets underneath, where they won't show but will hold minis in place, if that's what you want.

The Squarescape Launch Set Price $30.00

This square-patterned set has 16 2" dungeon squares of 7 different kinds (plus 45 connectors), which can be recombined into some gosh-awful different number of dungeon levels. And, of course, the STLs for all the above and the krunks and a bonus "blank floor" dungeon square.
We have worked out three different 4 x 4 levels using these pieces, and one 3 x 5, just for variety. Even if you never use the STL files, this set gives you a lot of adventure value for your money.
