Mat and Scenic Set ups

We have added so many things to the RatMat Battle Mat and RatMat Scenics lines that I started playing around with some set ups. I can mix and match pieces to create so many different options now. And we keep adding more. But Why? I think I have said this so many times to people browing our booth, comments online, and jsut in my musings here, but with all the 3D printed options and pre-made resin and plastic scenics available, there was no low cost, easily transportable/storeable and versatile scenics out there. It's great having all the paper options I...

Low Cost Cliff Scenics in Progress

It's been a crazy year with lots of changes, but back working on our low cost terrain and scenic solutions. One of the areas I have wanted to fill out is cliffs. We have a nice rocky terrain battle mat and I wanted to be able to add cliffs to it. Again, keeping the cost low and convenience high. The question was how to do this without making the pieces so fiddly that you cannot set up easily.  I believe I have found the solution and working on the prototypes now. If you're going to be at PAXU, I will...

And of course there is the original Dwarven Forge pieces that have gone through a couple of iterations to their current plastic-like walls that are more impact resistant than the original resin. And let's not forget all the scratch-builders out there who sculpt, carve, assemble and scavenge such incredible displays. So why would we put out our scenic packs? There are several reasons. 1) First and foremost......

Our RPG Book Additions

Having been in lockdown/quarantine/social distancing for nearly a year now, I have found that I have been playing a LOT more tabletop role playing games (RPGs) online. At this point, I am the GM for 3 different games and play in another. And with so many games to keep track of, I was looking for resources that I could use to aid in maintaining the freshness of all these games. That has led to the Rattrap store stocking a lot more RPG material; from books to dice to dice trays to card decks. The two companies that I have added...

3 Reasons Why: Scenic Packs

I don't expect these Scenic Packs to replace that BBG set piece that you have been planning for months. Who doesn't want to pull out a well designed battle map for the conclusion to your storyline? But for the rest of the sessions, for the unexpected, for traveling to conventions or stores or another player's house, our punchboard Scenic Packs make a great alternative.
