Tact-Tiles: The End

[Asmor]

This. The ultimate would be if they could somehow be both clear AND magnetically attractive, but I'm not sure that is possible. But magnetic is the way to go, since I have now made a substantial investment in the Alea Tools magnetic markers.

Seems like it should be possible to at least seed some transparent material with small quantities of iron to make it magnetically receptive.

Of course, no clue how well that would work either for holding onto magnets or for maintaining transparency.

I want a second set exactly like my original set.
I want a third set just the same but with the ability to use magnets.
I want a fourth set clear with squares.

I also like the idea of larger single pieces.

I own a set of Tac-Tiles, and they're quite awesome. When I game at a local gaming shop, people stop and comment on how to obtain them. I would love to be able to tell them something helpful.

I voted clear. It would be great to be able to place the grid over a non-gridded map. I could even take the time to hand draw some things on sheets of paper and place them underneath.

Just wanted to reply with an update.

We are still working on it. We hope to get some prototypes soon, but we've hit a few snags with both production and some things on the business side with the former owners.

I'll keep you posted. I just wanted to let you know that things are still moving along, if not as fast as I'd like.

Just wanted to jump on the band wagon for magnetic and compatible with the original tile sets! I love my tac-tiles! We use them every game. In fact I'll be using them tomorrow night, Friday, and Sunday!

That's good to hear. I'll keep my money poised for spending!

Still interested here Ashrem. Just make sure you keep us updated on how things are going, even if it's to tell us that nothing is happening.

Thanks,

Ok, here're my final list of feature requirements in a new version of Tact-tiles

They should be:

*widely available
*clear
*good listeners
*printed on one side with hexes and the other with squares
*cheap
*the cure for cancer and/or AIDS (though if feasible, would be awesome if it were both)
*magnetically receptive
*made of solid gold with platinum trim
*small and light enough to carry in my back pocket

I am interested in a reprint of tact-tiles, but I must admit that I actually sort of prefered the dragonscale counters sheets . . . . they did not have the jigsaw edges, which meant they could be laid down next to each other in any configuration I needed, but even more important, they were far thinner -- and since I use them in my traveling rig, that is very important.

Yes: clear and printed on both sides would be perfection. I would certainly buy that, once it was released on pdf.
