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...

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...

There are so many wonderful 3D print files available for Gamemasters to purchase and print their own scenics for their adventures. Need a tavern, buy this file. Need a temple, buy that one.

There are several reasons. 1) First and foremost......

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...

We have started to expand our store offerings and the first new items we have added iare Skullsplitter dice and accessories. Over the coming weeks you will see more new items for Role Playing Games (RPGs) and possibly some new stuff for miniature games. We are trying to stick with products that we feel are the highest quality at the most reasonable price. I am also going to try and keep the entire catalog somewhat lean and focus on what I think are the best options. If there are things you would like to see us carry, please feel free to...
