Terrain Tuesday - Massive Giveaway from TerranScapes & Starter Set Maps from Mike Schley

If you haven't checked it out and thrown your hat in the ring yet, don't miss your chance to be part of the TerranScapes Massive Giveaway.  Mike has accumulated a large pile of items from making his videos, promo products and experimental pieces, and he wants to clear them out of the workshop.  To get in on the action, watch his video here.

Furthermore, Mike Schley, cartographer extraordinaire, has made the maps from the 5E Starter Set available as high res images for sale at a very reasonable price.  No need to buy them all, unless you want to do so, just get the ones you want.  See them here.

And one more thing.  There is an artist named Greg Klassen who is doing some extraordinary work producing table with built in terrain, as furniture and works of art, not specifically for gaming.  Though
I dare say they would make a fine addition to any gamer's home.  See more here!

Terrain Tuesday on MFWARS.com 

For purposes here, the term Terrain is used broadly
