That’s a perfect table set up for Pulp Alley.  You can easily do a few different scenarios without changing it.  I try to do the same thing.

Cool! I always like flat roofs (or just in general roofs that "come into play"), they give a lot of extra options for movement, positioning, cover. I love rooftop chases and jumping from one building to another in games.

Something to fall down onto could be a good addition... A haystack. Or a market stall with a tent extended over it. That could also provide nice color accents.

The color scheme and the atmosphere reminded me of Indiana Jones.

You mean like this?   Perhaps he could be a Peril



Still need to add a lot of scatter - barrels, pots, wooden crates and the like yet.  I must make some Market Stalls.  I'll play at the weekend (I'm lucky enough to be able to leave games set up). 

The buildings are either scratch built from foam core board or cork tile and some 3D printed ones (walls are 3D too except for the main gate) then all unified in a coat of textured paint.

Adobe is so versatile - Pulp, WW2, Western and SciFi (Star Wars) - add a few period/genre dressing and scatter and they will work.  I'm going to print off some signs and hoardings to add to their changeable nature too.  Think vaporators, runic cipher signs and the odd Dewback for Star Wars or horse rails, wooden hoardings and a wagon for the Old West.

Dam nice table and as you said good for multiple genera.  Good use of the floor tiles too.

Right, this could be a great Tatooine/Barsoom village/any desert planet!
