chess board

so like i was watching my friend tony play chess today and i had an awsome idea.and it is only an idea for the moment. it is still in the planning stages.

The endless forest chess board.

but i thought that like the white chess pieces could be the forest things. like the king and queen are the twin statues. and the old oak can be the rooks, frogs being pawns, doves bishops, and squirls being knights.

for the black chess pieces
king micheal
queen aruria (don't know spelling)
bishops reetno and emiva wearing little hats
rooks quamar and kana because they are bulky deer. and they will have rook peiced on thier antlers
knights. im not sure but i think it is going to be darcy and rowan jumping
pawns are going to be fawns. or maybe little versions of other deer.
and all the deer are going to wear necklasses with thier picto on it.


the board is going to be grassy with flowers and logs on it.

BUT like i said it is an idea and in the planing stages.

I would love a glass TEF

I would love a glass TEF chess set. *-*

Although having players take on certain roles would be kinda unfair on others.. I like the idea of having frogs as knights, etc, etc though.

That is a very cute idea. I

That is a very cute idea. I can clearly see it in my head even.
But I agree with Verdalas, having certain players as pieces would unfair to the rest.
but if it was just your own board then hey, do what you like, lol...

Other then that is is a very nice idea (^^)

Frog pawns FTW!

well like if someone else

well like if someone else were to buy one then yeah you make the deer pieces to thiere liking. and the fawns are deer as well.
but i don't think it could ever be glass. that would be too much. i thought about doing it in clay.

Yeah that would be nice that

Yeah that would be nice that way.. custom chess pieces, lol...
And yeah, glass would be kinda hard, but if it were me doing it, I think I would either make them out of clay or carve them out of stone or wood. Or maybe even just make a 'master' of each piece and have a mold made from it and have it cast in metal. But that would just be me, lol...
