I tend to think of bamboo and jungle as side by side - even if they really aren't.  I think it comes from the fact that my first impressions of the "jungle" were from The Phantom comics when I was wee, and so I don't differentiate.

Also, China Station from Pulp Alley.

To be honest, I have had all of this stuff for over a year (or longer, in the case of these walls), so it is just getting moved to the front of the queue for random reasons.

All completely good reasons, my man. I was just wondering if there was a Clan War or samurai connection. :) Lovely stuff regardless!

Great looking Pulp Alley games. And I like that terrain you're working on. Perfect for some China Station fun!

Also -- we recently added a bunch of new promo cards to the Phantom Agent freebies on our store, so you might want to check them out ---

There will always be Clan War - I have a fully painted Crane army I drag out once in a while for Dragon Rampant, or just for single figures.  Rebased a couple for my wife's new league -she kept trying to play her Miss Fisher League like the characters, but since she isn't writing the script, it wasn't working.

This is her new league - which she is basing on multiple Wuxia and Anime sources.



We gave the entire league the Flying perk to represent the constant ninja leaping from such films.

 Thats a wonderful looking league. Any chance you'd share the character profiles?

Very cool! A couple things for 2nd Edition --

Stealth: In Second Edition, going into hiding is now an action (not a full action) for all characters, so we did away with the Stealthy ability. You may want to use the Shadowy ability instead.

Shadowy: You gain a +1 bonus to all opposed spotting checks.

It may be worth noting that this bonus applies to whichever side of the Spotting roll you happen to be on.  ;)

Another option is to give Josei the Savvy ability for an extra die of Finesse. Finesse is very important for stealthy characters. Or give her Agile for another point of Dodge and forget the stealth thing altogether. At low levels, being stealthy can be fairly difficult unless to really commit to your Finesse.

Also we added a new ability called Two-Fisted. It is exactly the same as Animal, just a different name for people that didn't like to use "Animal" for humans. Of course Animal is still in there as well.   :D

Ebay, honestly.  O and S scale train stuff, mostly from China, as it is cheap.

Holy cow, can’t believe I missed this thread! Great looking build.  Sorry about the misspellings, but that is one of my flaws.

Thanks for posting all this!
