Title: Objective markers for pulp
Post by: Charles92027 on March 12, 2019, 06:59:05 PM
I have Bob Murch’s significant clues, but I’m looking for other suitable “items” or objective markers, like bundles of dynamite, treasure chests, etc... preferably in metal.

If you have a spares box? Try making some yourself.

Treasure chests are a bit more tricky. But groups of barrels, buckets and odds and sods can be made up.

Here are some pics of what I did for very little money.

These were made from a cheap calculator that I took apart and used the buttons upside down as treasure crates. With acrylic necklace beads for the jewels. Approximate cost £1 for the Calculator and £1 for the beads. Of which I have many left over.

This was made from Dominoes, Hairy string some plastic spares and PVA glue. Not a lot of cash at all.

Of course tents can be made or purchased as well.

There are more bits on my Blog. But you will have to dig through the posts.  :)

I've described a number of my own plot point markers here (and in linked articles): https://colgar6.blogspot.com/2017/05/plotting-away.html (https://colgar6.blogspot.com/2017/05/plotting-away.html) .

These are all home-made and mostly very simple, such as the giant footprint created by pressing a toy dinosaur into modelling putty: (https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Nd0TvH2lhrs/WSrgROuZqUI/AAAAAAAAOpo/lOLzGwX3qsYdZQ7BLUY38pavocRC9bFiACLcB/s320/IMG_7031.JPG)

Some nice examples there. The foot print is very cool, defintely going to nick that idea.

My stash of objectives/plot points/whatever:

Mix of commercial, homegrown, and somewhere in between. Most generic, but a few have been tailored for a specific item (black demon headed frog is from Strange Aeons rules/book. It’s a 25mm demon head slapped on a metal frog charm.)

These are excellent ideas. I’m especially digging that foot print.

Yes that is inspired brilliance! Considering the massive amount of Dino models I have! I should have thought of that one! lol

Truly Impressive and great set dressing also!  :-*

Are there some Mage Knight minis in there? I forgot they did treasure chests as well as other equipment as well. Hell I even have some myself! Thanks for the reminder. 8) 8)

Thanks... no MK that I am aware of. Lots of bits and pieces from here and there. Sprue bits, extra weapons, small familiars, costume jewelry...

These are all brilliant. The dino foot, the calculator key and the mass amount of beautiful markers from pacarat. I really need to get cracking on replacing the lackluster objective markers I've been using.

I always look through those very items. Sprues are very useful in their own right. I trim them down to use as pipework as well.
