Lost World - 1st try

[nb246]

Here are pics from a Lost World game I ran. I airbrushed out some of the background.
Curtains and shoes were distracting!

Looks like a fun game.  The pictures are kind of far off though, so it's hard to get a good look at the action.  Where'd you get those palm trees?

[nb246]

The palm trees came from Hobbytown USA. Yeah, I'm kinda new at this
so pics and all is gonna be rough for a while.

Hey, better than a lot of the blurry, too dark photos I manage at our games. Or the games where I'm too busy playing to remember the camera sitting right next to me...

Could you tell us a bit about the scenario & characters?

Nice!

Again, I can only curse myself for setting my expectations too high for my own venture into Pulp gaming (or any other genre for all that matters)... which means that I have trouble ever finishing a project. Your approach is simple, yet effective, and best of all: You get to game the stuff!! Whereas my projects linger at 90% ready...

Thanks. Mine isn't anywhere close to the quality I see on this site, but it is fun.
I played Heroclix for years, but it just doesn't go well with 3-d. I'm really enjoying
new rulesets and some homegrown rules.

Hey, nice job here.  I've got two of those plasticville gas stations.  I'm almost finished with one, my son is doing the other with a lift off roof.  I'm lazy and glued my roof on.

Mine isn't anywhere close to the quality I see on this site, but it is fun.

Exactly my point. Not much fun in having a lot of stuff you've spent hours and hours finishing sitting around on a shelf or in a box for years and years.

When/if I find time and energy for the hobby again, I'll try to lower the bar for my projects to get stuck in faster. A combo of ever unfinished projects, and the pressures of real life made me pull back from the hobby some months ago, because I could not really cope with everything anymore.

Now that I see games like yours, it makes me think that I took a wrong approach to gaming when I first joined this forum and started trying to live up to the standards set by others. It is all to easy to feel inadequate whe seeing all the beautiful stuff produced by some of the aces in there. But for a gamer, the hobby should be about gaming, i.e. the greatest effort should go into getting some games played, then making beautiful models/terrain can come, piece by piece, along the way... I think...
