Tis the season ...

... for deeply discounted holiday decorations that can be adopted for gaming. I purchased two 18" x 36" Lemax landscape accent mats (pictured above with Heroscape figures for scale) at Michael's craft store for 60 percent off.
The mats, intended for a Christmas village display, will work great as paving when laying out frozen ruins for Frostgrave or terrain for Song of Blades and Heroes. At $10 each after the discount, I picked up the last two on the store shelf. I also grabbed two of these brick and cobblestone road packs, from the same company, for less than $3 each. The cobblestones are sort of setting-agnostic, while the bricks will fit right in with modern scenery for All Things Zombie.
Christmas decor can be a great help to terrain makers. So what other holiday scenery have you found that is easily adaptable to miniatures gaming?

  1. Found the same large rolls. Now I have two. Since the next 'habitat' is a sort of Whitechapel section of London in the late 19th century, they should come in handy. Years ago there was a handy bridge that went well with 28mm figures and did not have snow, giving it a wider range of scenario ideas.

  2. That's great stuff. I found some of the brick on sale a few years ago, and while I have used some of it, I am still hoarding the majority.
