Title: Pulp Alley: One Night in Innsmouth!
Post by: gary42 on 29 April 2016, 07:01:16 PM
Not a comic version as I didn't take enough pics but here's a few shots from a couple of games we did the other day.  Awesome new terrain painted by  oldben1.  Now I have to make my Sarrissa stuff look like his:)  I think I'm going to do a little GM style gaming with my group.  I'll play cultists and Lovecraftian monsters (As I have many) while they play their usual leagues.  I'm toying with some 3 act stories.  Sort of short campaign in 3 parts.

Eg:  Act 1) Meteor lands near a barn in the country.  Meteor is main plot point.  Anyone close to it gets an extreme peril.  Failure will rear it's ugly head in act 3.

       Act 2) Maybe a social combat sort of thing.  Leagues have to deal with scientists and local cops.  Maybe Greasers or teenagers...Gulp!

       Act 3) whoever fails the peril in act 1 become a terror.

That's a sort of general idea anyways.  Each act is a game.  Should be able to bang em' out in a night.

Anyways here are the shots of the new terrain!


A quiet Innsmouth night...

Who could have wanted to drop a bomb right in the middle of this little town??

Captain Beaufort and his team near the center of town cautiosly...

In the distance they see the Blue Wraith tinkering with the unexploded ordnance!

Zephyr snags the first plot point in the graveyard.

The Blue Wraith defuses the bomb but catches the eye of the cops!
(http://i330.photobucket.com/albums/l424/Anjismithphotography/DSC_0198.jpg)

The Wraith make tracks and runs smack into Zephyr as she tries for the next plot point!

Here comes Man of Seoul!

As usual fun was had by all:)

Love the table.  Great use of the O gauge buildings, and your cemetery is one of my all-time favorite terrain pieces.

Using the new Cards?

Hey that looks good.  I'm glad the stuff found a good home, and it looks like everyone had fun.  It's awesome to see it out and not gathering dust in the basement.  We need to Find you a church of Dagon!

Gary if you want the paint colors I used let me know.

Thanks oldben!  Yep.  let me know the colours!

Not using the new cards yet.  Want to order them at the same time as the new bits and pieces:)

You guys must have seen Dagon right?

One night in Innsmouth makes a hard man humble
Not much between despair and ecstasy
One night in Innsmouth and the tough guys tumble
Can't be too careful with your company
I can smell a fishman walking next to me

Great stuff!  Thanks for sharing. 

What do you put down for your play space?  Looks like some kind of boarding.  I saw someone mentioned you are using Plasticville terrain.  Can you provide any info on your buildings?

Looking forward to see more!

Matt

Cracking board Gary! Those buildings look fantastic!  :-*

That's a seriously inspired use of sticky tie-wrap fixings on the roof! ;)

They looked a lot like roof vents at the time, I remember liking them because they already had an adhesive bottom.  I procured them from the science lab at my work! ;)

The baseboard is just black foam board.  Cobblestone  project imminent!  The buildings are well painted Plasticville!

Now I just need to find myself some of them.

What exactly are those sticky tie wrap things?  Never seen those things go before!
Title: Re: Pulp Alley: One Night in Innsmouth!
Post by: Oldben1 on 03 May 2016, 03:54:36 AM
There was literally a pile of them on my colleagues desk.  I asked: " are you going to use all of those?". My coworkers must think I'm nuts for taking bits of plastic home for my projects.
Title: Re: Pulp Alley: One Night in Innsmouth!
Post by: gary42 on 03 May 2016, 05:04:37 AM
But what are they for? ???

Great looking game table. What are the ties for? Where did you find the sheriff's car at?

The Sheriff's  car is a Disney's "Cars"  toy.   I find their scale perfect.   Waiting to find out about tie tthings.  No idea what they are. Never seen em' before.

Post by: Mr. Peabody on 03 May 2016, 05:13:35 PM
They have adhesive backs so you can stick'em up and then run your cable-ties / tie-wraps / zap-straps wherever you like for the (admittedly short) life of the adhesive.

Put'em under the top of a desk, a counter or even under a bed to get those ugly cables off the floor. Or stick'em on a wall to hold network cable up out of the way of busy feet.

Buy now and I'll throw in a case Ginsu knives so you can trim those ugly cable-tie ends away effortlessly while slicing ripe tomatoes.  ;D

Nope.  Mostly Plasticville painted beautifully by oldben1.

I'm sure you'll have interest, but for me the shipping would kill it pity

Post by: Oldben1 on 14 May 2016, 12:07:55 AM
A tutorial then.  I'm excited about the new pulp alley buildings.  If they can be send flat packed and painted that way shipping would be cheap.

Post by: Mr. Peabody on 15 May 2016, 12:25:26 AM
That would be a real gift. One of our buddies here in Vancouver is desperate to do something not-apocalypse with his stash of Plasticville kits and the Oldben1 way is, I think, the one for him!  8)

Whoa!  That really does the trick.  Good work Gary!  You just need a creepy gardener lurking around the back.

That sir, is a Sarissa.  I've always known I would use it for a haunted  house  eventually!

I have had my eye on that particular building for a while now.
It makes an ideal base to build upon and works in so many genres.
Seeing yours confirms to me that I will have to get one at some point.
 :D

Top job!

Multi-use  for sure!  Are your Innsmouth denizens going to be available as a standard purchase sometime in the future?

Most certainly.
Once the KS has been fulfilled they will become available to all who want some.
