If this is the wrong forum, please accept my apologies. Seriously thinking about selling my pf and dnd stuff, but id prefer to avoid ebay like the plague. Id like to find a good site to sell it. Do you have suggestions?

I've GMed/DMed for many years, but I'm running my first open-world game where PCs can literally explore any place on a map. I have created a huge, custom random-encounter chart, maps, city stats, etc. I'm finding that despite their excitement to play such a game, they tend to loose focus or interest without "railroading" them or pushing a plot line in their direction. Actually, I presented them with a plotline last weekend at our usual game. They decided to explore a new town, thus not following the plotline, then things went downhill from there as they lost focus and interest. I could use some constructive advice about how best to run/plan/whatever such a game.
I'd like to incorporate more 3d terrain into my PF game. It's fantasy, of course, but has elements of both games. Anyway, I'd like to incorporate 3d terrain into the games. Here are some concerns/ thoughts: 1. I've been using Terraclips, which I like, but new sets aren't coming out fast enough for me. They work great, but I'm running 1-2 games a week for up to 6 hours per game. So, they're not cutting it at the moment because the terrain changes too fast. 2. I'm extensively using 30"x25" graph pads with maps. These maps work very well for encounters and dungeons, but outside regions not so much (unless its a forest or field or the like). The pad also doesn't move around like tiles. 3. I've used tiles in the past, and I like the detail on them. They move around a lot (I tried puddy but that's a horror story I'd prefer not to tell). I wouldn't mind using something tile-like to give a 3d-esque effect, but I'm not sure how to do this without gobs of printer paper and ink as well as gluing, cutting, and other actions that wouldn't react well with my accident-prone self 4. I've looked into Dwarven Forge. Unbelievable stuff, but not a lot of room at the house to store it . . . and it's freaking expensive! 5. I've never used Terralinx, but it looks pretty cool. They is a lot of time involved in creating the pieces though. While not as storing-intensive as Dwarven Forge, I might not have the room for this either. Thoughts are appreciated! |
