The Nautilus
« on: March 15, 2016, 11:52:26 AM »
I made this setup a few months ago. It is my version of the Nautilus. The rooms are placed like they are described in the book of Jules Verne. I made it with Dwarven Forge tiles.
























Lot more pictures here on my blog : http://aventuresen25mm.canalblog.com/archives/2014/12/21/31180117.html

I knew I'd seen this before, but really did think you'd posted it here before. However, only finding your post on TMP.

Of course, at that time, I printed out the images and posted at the store. Stunningly good work!

I'd never call the Dwarven Forge sets 'lemons', and yet, definitely doing with what you have, and making the finest lemonade!  ;)

Well, the idea was that the party have to escape from the Nautilus. They have been captured and put in jail. But the underwater ocean is quite a hostile environment  :D And it is hard to escape from a submarine down under the sea when you don't know where you are cruising...
They went out with the scuba suits but they have to fight a giant crab and comme back to the submarine due to a low level of oxygen... They cannot sabotage the ship or it will sink with the party... I also introduced a naval combat with another ship, and a fight with a giant calamar. The only solution was to integrate Nemo's team, after a few exploration of the ship, find some navigation maps to locate the nearests islands and try to drive the submarine to another shore...
