I think you'll be OK as long as you don't try to spend those novelty oversized pennies. As obvious as they are it can still be a lot of legal trouble to have fake currency.

Does anyone have tips for preparing MDF terrain for painting with acrylics? It tends to look like poo poo after a basecoat. A thin layer of Modpodge perhaps?

Death Ray Designs recommends Rust-o-leum Profesional Enamel flat paint to prime their MDF kits. I still need to paint what I've built to confirm that though

I still need to paint what I've built to confirm that though I use Rustoleum 2X Painter's Touch spray paint to prime, works fine. The important thing about priming MDF is to hit both sides, if you can, to prevent warping. Two coats is usually sufficient.

Modpodge or 1:1 water and PVA both work well for sealing, but I prefer the PVA for MDF because modpodge always leaves a texture for me.

Had a terrain project sitting around for months and getting back into it now that the weather is warmer and I can sand outside comfortably; first is a simple XPS plateau-style piece to test things out. Took a sheet of foam and glued it on top of some hardboard, with bark chips for rocky protrusions and the edge being spackling.  Mixed some sand/grout/tiny rocks into the paints along with Mod Podge, but the only colors I had of craft paint were basic brown/grey/white/black, and the brown was on the reddish side. So it turned out weirdly flesh like.  Picked up some more yellow hued shades of tan and it did the trick more for what I was looking for.  Rocks got a quick grey coating, black wash, and grey/white drybrushing, and the rest had watered down glue dumped on it and flock sprinkled on.  Happy with it overall!  Next is making more that hopefully have a bit more visual interest, and of differing heights and shapes, but avoiding the weird look of everything being perfectly flat will be difficult, since I still want these to be functional gaming pieces after all.

Just some pictures of my continually WIP overgrown city table. It's slowly getting closer to the image I've always had in my head, although there's still a large amount of objects in the pipeline. Largely put off roads in particular, but I've found throwing buildings down without them causes it to lack visual structure and verisimilitude, so throwing in the towel and starting on those once natural terrain features are finished.

Hill/plateau/cliff/whatever features are scratch built, here's a shot of some mid-build:  Got a few more pieces currently in progress, but set up the table with what's ready at the moment to get an idea on how they look/feel so far.

Gonna make a few game boards for DBA / ADLG, 3x2' in size. What's the minimum thickness would be suggested to keep the wood from warping? 3/16" or 1/4"?

StationForge, while not free, has a really good bunker/trench set that could be neat if you want to set up an assault on a weapon emplacement. 28mm scale. https://www.myminifactory.com/object/3d-print-grimguard-trench-terrain-357327 3D Breed has a really limited selection, but they have Pegasus Bridge, D-day stuff, and a French Farm Hosue in 15mm.

Any recommendations for texture rollers that aren't GreenStuffWorld? I would like to do some BlackMagicCraft style rolling into acrylic caulk or texturing heated foam and all the other options I see are nigh-identical 3D printed rollers.

If you've got access to a 3d printer there are lots of STLs out there. If you don't then there are some etsy stores that print and sell them.

I really like how the rocky outcroppings turned out! Really great job. It has just the right amount of contrast in the values. The entire thing looks nice, but the little rocks on the edges are real highlights.

Does anyone have a source for gridded sci-fi terrain, ideally as STL? I've bought RIG which uses a 5x5 grid map, and considering Rune which uses a 4x4 grid map - each grid square being difficult/impassible/pit.

I think it's really just 5x5 or 4x4 "spaces" with no specific measurement but inches would probably work best with consideration for minis and terrain. Honestly, if there's an option, slightly larger spaces would be better. I use worldworks, which is papercraft terrain and you can print it at 1.5 inches for 32mm models.

Definitely - those are Battletech 'Hostile Contact' markers before they get within proper scan range and it works great for the game since there are so many enemy types. The game is basically a solo wargame/RPG version of Into the Breach, in a kinda post-apocalypse mecha setting inspired by Dark Souls called RIG, costs £1 via Patreon to get. To save paraphrasing I did a short entry in my blog about the game: https://williamswargames.blog/2024/05/09/rig-a-souls-like-solo-mech-rpg/.

If you want asteroids, I tried to make things out of XPS but it was a lot of effort to get a randomly pocked effect. Then I picked up a bag of lava rocks for five dollars and had all the asteroids I ever needed. They’re easy to mount on stands and look great.
