Venture Bros Suggestions Requested!
« on: August 24, 2010, 07:48:25 PM »
Hello All,

I don't know why it hasn't dawned on me before, but after watching an episode of Venture Bros. last night I realized that it would be perfect for gaming...

I have Savage Tales, would that be the best rule system?

How about miniatures? I love my Pulp Figures, but are there any suggestions for villains, henchmen, and good guys?

I think both the 'modern' era (with Dr. Rusty Venture) and the 'original' era (with Dr. Jonas Venture) would be great fun, even the Victorian era Dr. Venture (with very steampunk Victorian stuff...)

Anyways, I'm looking forward to hearing what you fine folks think!

Thanks
Harold

Here is Zombie smiths attimpte to make some Venture brothers.

My gaming group was commenting on this last week actually and we are busying looking for some way to convert the Monarch and his minions.

I wish I could sculpt.  I wanted to do this for a while.  That not-Brock Samson, just doesn't capture his Swedish, mulleted glory.
This is my boomstick!

I was planning to replace not-Brock's chainsaw with a large combat knife from a GW catachans sprue.
