Title: Playtest of Valley of the Thunder Lizard
Post by: Operator5 on January 17, 2008, 02:35:29 PM

Ran a playtest of the rules for Thrilling Expeditions: Valley of the Thunder Lizard last night. I had nine players all running Big Game Hunters. I'm working on doing a full write-up, but for now, here's a couple of pictures from the slaughter... errr, I mean game.  :mrgreen:

Very nice!  What are those tan cliffs in the background of the top picture made of?

Real cliffs. It's a photoshop image dropped behind the photo from the game (I like to pull out the distracting store stuff when I can).

Ah that would explain why they look so real.  Nice job!

Our local emporium (The Last Square) in Madison sell hunks of cork that make very impressive cliffs - just used naturally they look very good.  I've made up boards  for river canyons and am now working on a board to model (very loosely) Petra for a future adventure scenario.  The stuff is relatively inexpensive and easy to work with.

There's a picture here (the canyon board is back right).

Those look great!  I'd like to find some chunky cork like that to make a modular cavern system.

Didn't mean to hijack the thread, but the boards are 2' x 2'.

More info about the game is here:

and bigger pix of the boards can be seen here:

(I've been terribly lax in updating the website -- gotta get back to chronicling our games!)

I ordered a big box with sheets of cork bark like that from a whole sale retaier when I lived in Minneapolis. I think you bought it by the pound. Found it through google, as I remember it.
