Post by: Grimm on May 10, 2008, 07:47:01 PM
oK here is the Game Report from a Horror Game I play at the do or Dice in Kiel Germany .
The Game is run by Loki the rules are selfmade by Loki ,Green Knight and Zafarelli.
Terrain and Figures are painted and build by Zafarelli (pardulon)

Intro

Some where on the coast of new england a small aircraft catsh in a rain storm.
bolts  of lightning  flash into  the dark skies and the rain beat on the window of the plan.
suddenly a lightning hit the plan and it begines to fall down.
It crash into the sea near a small island and the plane  begin to  sink the dark waves .
But two of the passengers get out of the plane and stard to swim to the small island.
They manage to reach a mole and then they can see the huge Building on the cliffs .
Another lightnig light a shield on the building  and you can read the word ``Asylum``.

The two survivor follow a smal path from the mole to the Asylums backdoor .
They open the door and step into a corridor after a few steps the door slam .
The corridor was not dark some yellow light give enugh to see the cell doors on the right side .

The two heros open the first cell door and shock in fear

ok we keep on

after the escape in the small office ,the survivor search  the office and find a broom  a stinking    bottle of cleaner a key named ``barrack 21``.
then they take a peep into the next room .


....at that moment I was sure what will be next because I see the layout of the board but Loki surprise me as he pimp up the room with a upper floor !!!!

ok back to the story

As the heros look in the room a sniffing monster come out of the dark !

(http://www.displacedminiatures.com/images/img.1210431984547.JPG.600.-1..9.JPG)

the door behind the monster opend and a men walked in

(http://www.displacedminiatures.com/images/img.1210432001969.JPG.600.-1..9.JPG)

the beast sniff again and attack !!
(http://www.displacedminiatures.com/images/img.1210432021051.JPG.600.-1..9.JPG)

As the survivor see what happend to the men they decide not to attack the beast with the  broom.
It was better to use the stinking bottle of cleaner to confuse the monster.

the heros confuse the monster with the cleaner  and they have enugh time to peep through the windows .

waht they see was a dark backyard and a building that named ``barrack 21``

Grimm,

Looks great.  What rules are you guys using?  Is the building module?  It would be awesome if as the player opens a door the next room(s) is placed onto the board.

The two tone walls are also terrific.  I'll have to visit the site and track down some of the accessories (doors, cabinets, etc.)

The rules come from Loki ,green Knight and Zaferelli.
they are  self made and easey to learn.

best thing in the rules was that you pull a a stick out of the hand of the game master .
there are 3 sticks in different sizes and the size of the stick are the distance you can move .

that make a thrilling mood if your figure run away from a monster and you have to pull a stick .

what is the name of that ``pull a stick`` thing in english ??

Draw a stick.

Sounds like drawing straws to me.  I love the idea.

I love the photo with the figure having been munched by the maw.  Great mood setter.

As for the drawing of sticks, that is called, "the luck of the draw."  Usually the short stick loses.

Nasty. And throughout lovely gameboard. That's the Hasslefree White Metal "Red Maws", isn't it? Is it the red resin piece or have they released a metal version yet?

Great scenery, mini's and game!

The Asylum, especially, is very impressive.

Couple of questions for Zafarelli:

1.  Have you added the lockers, cabinets, and viewing gizmos to your website yet.  I noticed them before in a previous post and I think I might want to pick them up, but I can't find them.  :(

2.  Will you be adding the jail doors to your line?

3.  What did you use for electrical wiring.  It's so straight and even.   

The terrain is marvelous. Thanks.

1.  Have you added the lockers, cabinets, and viewing gizmos to your website yet.  I noticed them before in a previous post and I think I might want to pick them up, but I can't find them.  :(

Here you go:

Lab interior (http://pardulon.com/catalog/index.php?cPath=34_54&osCsid=923d41cadb7b93cce7120db4a522f863)

There are some more items to come (to be seen in Grimm's report part 3), but I cannot really tell when that might be. Things are still rather confused after the move.

2.  Will you be adding the jail doors to your line?

Not at this point. They were just part of test spincasting mold, but the bars need to be thicker by 0.5mm to be cast properly.

Quote
3.  What did you use for electrical wiring.  It's so straight and even.   

Florist's wire, straightened by wrapping one end around a plier, and then pulling until it was straight. The switches and plugs were made from polystyrene.

Some general notes regarding the construction:

The walls are made from 4mm MDF board, cut to size with a circular saw. The inner walls are removable, because we wanted to use the board for the 3. scene as well. If I can find the time, I'll post some pictures of how they slot together... Door frames are made from strip wood.

Painting was done with Vallejo Acrylics, the dirt on the walls was done wet-in-wet. IIRC, I used up to three brushes at once, one for applying water, one with paint, and one to spread the paint on the wet wall.

Most of the signs were stickers from Loki's extensive bit's box, but some of the more specific ones were designed on the computer and then printed out.

All of the interior accessories are available from Pardulon, except for the beds, which I sculpted, but didn't like enough to put in production.

Scene 2 is mainly made up from Pardulon industrial parts, plus some balsa and general  litter.

Any more questions, please drop me a note  :)

Cheers,

Jens

Vary nice, I realy like how the players are trying to evade and use there minds as opposed to the runing and guning still of lots of games I have seen.
