I've looked into it a little. Here's a couple untested ideas I had...
Use a texture roller
Maybe use this pattern (paint it Craftsmart Neon Blue with Ocean Breeze Dry Brush]
This guy uses PVA glue and three layers of toilet paper. Not sure if this would hold up at the table though.

Whether it's a success or failure, please share how it turns out!

For smaller areas I have used two-part epoxy. I have always wanted to try that tissue technique - I'm anxious to see how it works for you.

Have you ever used cheap epoxy like this one?
My first attempt at making a little watering hole

Yep - it works fine for the most part. Can have a slightly yellow tint, but I usually add a tint of color - so it is not much of an issue.

That was awesome - makes me wish I still did stuff like this. Maybe when I retire!

I wish I had thought to follow this advice and get some of these tiles. I used a foamcore board to adhere the base of my keep onto and am using that to create the moat and surrounding swamp-land - but the board is constantly warping (and while various tricks for flattening I have found online work, it seems like it only lasts as longs I as I don't apply anything more to it, because then it warps again). If I had used those tiles instead I would not be stressing out that I may have to tear the completed keep I have spent over a couple dozen hours of work on off the board and pray for the best.

Yeah, i'm discovering that it's wise to wait several days before you know if a piece is warped or not. Even using tiles & mod podge can produce potato chip tiles.
Best o'luck!
