The wargaming world of Nozza

The Wayfinder’s boarding ramp hissed open to admit a whirlwind in oversized goggles and dust-stained academic robes. “Magnificent vessel!” the woman declared, spinning slowly as she took in the cargo bay. “Functional. Rugged. Slightly on fire at the back, oh no, that’s just scoring. Good.” Cap’in blinked. “We prefer ‘experienced.’” The woman beamed and thrust out a gloved hand. “Professor Maysi Dustfellow, Department of Xenobotany, University of Chandrila.” Brains looked up from his datapad. “The University of Chandrila?” Professor Dustfellow nodded proudly. “Yes, yes, very reputable. Peer-reviewed. Occasionally funded.” Jugro muttered, “That last bit worries me.” The professor activated a small holo-projector. A shimmering blue cactus appeared above her palm, its spines glowing faintly. “The Blue Moon Bloom,” she said reverently. “A bioluminescent cactus that flowers once per standard year - only under a full moon. Each blossom lasts mere hours. Each petal contains extraordinary regen...

The cantina was loud, smoky, and blissfully anonymous - exactly the kind of place Cap’in preferred when talking numbers. She and Brains sat in a shadowed booth, datapads glowing faintly between them. Columns of credits, supply costs, repair estimates, and crew expenses scrolled past as they talked in low voices. “For once,” Cap’in muttered, tapping the screen, “we’re not one bad hyperjump away from bankruptcy.” Brains gave a small nod. “The ledger is… stable.

I recently put some surplus plywood to good use by constructing a double‑sided 2' x 2' tabletop gaming board. While the carpentry may not stand up to close inspection, the project proved to be a rewarding way to repurpose leftover materials and create a compact, versatile playing surface.  The first side, shown in the image below, features a cobblestone urban layout. This side is fully covered with My Village Stone Paper , producing a convincing paved surface ideal for town or settlement encounters. Two edges are lined with hedging made from the offcuts of the moss mat, while the remaining edges continue the stone‑wall theme for visual continuity. Flipping the board reveals a textured green pasture enclosed by stone-effect walls. The playing surface is made from My Village Moss Mat Green Brown , which provides a natural, varied grass finish. The surrounding walls are wrapped in My Village Stone Paper , creating a cohesive frame that complements the terrain. To adhere the ...
