Just to comment even more (while agreeing with Josh and Jeremy)...

One could presume that any market stalls with worn tan paths would be those
that are doing the most business with mini-figure patrons.  As long as the
builder provides a compatible transition from tan to green so they can match
up to their neighbors, then why not?  The key is to have this standard so
that one plate matches up to the next without any sudden change in terrain.

Joel also said,
Just a thought aimed towards inclusion vs unintentional exclusion. The Space
guys need gray plates for obvious reasons.. castle doesn't 'have' to have
green.

True, but if the terrain is supposedly mostly "natural" then the transitions
from one plate to another need to not be sudden; that is to say we don't
want any straight lines between colors unless there is a reason for it (like
a guy with a shovel who is making it that way or something).

Also, the Space guys do not need gray plates unless they restrict their
imaginations only to surfaces like the moon of Earth.  Other moons or
planets could have almost any color surface, including green.  They chose
gray as the color for the Moonbase project presumably because they wanted to
use the extra-large baseplates that come only in gray.

Cheers,

Hi Josh, Along Chris's line of thinking -- there are a lot of sets from recent years with 16x32 tan or brown baseplates - anyone that collects the original Adventurers or Wild West series has a truck load of them, myself included. I can't think of (...) (22 years ago, 29-Oct-02, to lugnet.castle)
