Ok, since the above has happend I uses an adult papiér-maché (PVA + Water) technique to make them hills more....hilly...

In this picture you see one of those hills.

Slight spoilers for the #DelianTomb but I'm so happy with how this terrain has turned out!

My own take on magnetic dungeon tiles plus some extra bits without nasty near-unrecyclable XPS foam :)

USA commercial airports at the most altitude above the city

Provided below is a list of those American commercial airports with scheduled airline service, whose elevation has the most difference in altitude over and above the city’s official elevation (usually downtown). As always, any additions, corrections, or suggestions are most welcome. Each elevation is based on the information provided by gemini.google.ai and/or confirmed through en.wikipedia.org.

Most surprising to this blog author was how many airports rom the eastern half of the United States are on the list (approximately half), including the first two positions. Many of these variations in elevation, especially in the East result from the downtown area being located in a river valley, while the airport was built on a bluff or hill above the city.

Peace!
