Greetings all,
I just recently joined this forum. I have dropped in from time-to-time, usually following links from TMP.
Between there and here I got interested enough in EofD to order the rulebook and this looked like a good place to get any questions answered.
In a related note: Has anyone tried EotD using 15mm?

Welcome!
I haven't played it in 15mm but I'm sure it would be perfectly playable with some simple measurement changes. Blue Moon's Collection of 15/18mm Horror miniatures and buildings is the first thing that comes to mind with regard to figures and terrain.

Have fun,

The Blue Moon figures were what I had in mind. I wasn't too sure how they fit into the timeline of EofD.
I have several boxes of the West Wind range that were original released for "Rippers" but I don't really have an objection to playing in two scales. ;)

A few games I've seen that do a 15mm conversion simply switch out measurement in inches to centimeters. I'm not sure if that would work or not, as I haven't received my rule book either.
-
I think that conversion would work fine.
The rules are fairly generic in regards to what you can use to represent your players on the board. The Blue Moon 15's echo a lot of the poses and themes of the West Wind Gothic Horror line. They do some pretty buildings as well.

This is brilliant!
Seriously, I love this idea.

Looks like my Old Glory Army Card (and the credit card) are going to get some exercise! lol

Yep, agree with Mike, it'll work in 15mm. I'd say try it with both reduced and the original measurements, they both have plus and minus points but as obsidian3d said a simple conversion to cms may suffice. Let us know how you get on. A quick 15mm scale game on a smaller board is something I would consider, I didnt realise the Bluemoon range was that large!
-
Thanks Tim, never even considered 15mm for horror gaming but those Bluemoon minis are excellent!
Just been looking at their buildings aswell. A little expensive but they look really nice.
Would have thought changing distance to cm would work as stated before.
Looks like rebel minis will be producing a 15mm steampunk range which would fit too.
