Ok well just a basic description of the kind of game. Its a Heroes quest type game. Basically 4 players roaming a dungeon and whatnot. We have the pieces, cards, and all the dynamics of the game worked out, but now we're creating the board
So here is what we intend to do:
The board is going to be a 3'x3' by 1/4" thick plexiglass, with a very thin piece of sheetmetal bolted on top by the corners.
The reason for the sheetmetal is because our game is comprised of rooms and hallways that will get placed on individually and be held on by thin fridge magnets pasted on the back. So basically you get a new dungeon each time you play, its up to the DM how he wants to design it.
Now the problem:
I'm printing out super high res photo's of the rooms on photo paper and cutting them out. The magnet will go on the back of the photo's, and in turn stick to the board. However! How do we cover the photopaper so it does not scratch when the pieces move on it? Lamination seems to be out because we'll have a overhang on them, and glueing a thin piece of plexi on the top as a cover is out because you'll see the glue residue won't you?
Anyone have any ideas?
what kind of adhesive do you recommend, i kinda of thought of that idea, but didn't think it was actually possible, and are you saying while the adhesive is still somewhat wet/tacky - throw it on the plexi?
