Across The Dead Earth Game Board

Had a great time last night playing some more Across the Dead Earth testing. This time on the completed bespoke gaming board the guys have had made to take to shows. Its Immense! I got trounced totally in a four way slog between me, Rich , Skelch and Yoshi. I'll do a write up of the game and my terrible luck last night. Here's some pics of the board its fantastic looking! Most of these where taken a t halftime while we had a break so this is of a live game.



The roof lifts off and you can game in the bottom level the black section at the back is a dice rolling section :)



 The great looking ruined church its a fantastic looking piece of terrain and easily accessible to game in.
 Two story shopping complex removable roof and 1st floor. There's loads of cool little touches like skeletons hidden all over the board every time you look at it you find new things!






These are some better pics of the Rotunda and Church from off of the Artificer Miniature Painting Page on Face book. This guy built the whole board and also painted all the figures for the Across the Dead Earth game.

  2. That looks like a fab table and it most be a joy to play on.
    I purchased the rules PDF last week - thanks to your blog and Neil Shuck's pod - and the setting and rules come across as very solid.

  4. That's some of the best terrain I've ever seen. I've never really had an interest in this genre, but the terrain itself makes me want to get involved.

    1. Yes it is to a certain extent. Though things like the trees and stuff have sockets on the board.

  24. It's fantastic!
    It must be that much better in person, but I'm now spending time going through the photos and finding all the little details.

    I got that huge poundland bus I'm converting, hoplite shields all over that huge building. I like the overgrown effect, it really came out great.
    No wonder people want to play the game if a board looks like this.

    1. Its modelled on parts of Birmingham City Centre.

      The shielded building is our prized Bull Ring shopping centre.
