Low-Fantasy desert-town (Conan-Like)
« on: September 15, 2011, 02:12:28 PM »
Inspired by OP5s great middle-eastern town I builded a fantasy-town for Broadsword-Adventure.
In the first game 3 players had to steal the eye of a long forgotten godlike statue, in a hidden temple.
Encountermarkers revealed the location of the temple and a few nice hings for the players (med-balm, gold, big sword). The scenario was not confrontative from the start, but like in the Conan storys alliances were fragile... ;)

The whole city is more or less my transportable desert village plus a few add ons (citygate etc.):

Birdsview of the small town.



The population is from my WAB-New-Kingdom-Egyptian-Army and other historical minis plus a lot of fantasy-miniatures.
In the scenario the players could interact with all the minis (talk, steal...).



The city-gate. Starting point of the players...










The game was a big success, thanx OP5 for a great set of rules... :)

Good one, good idea and nice work. Though I like the yellow table from the "Transprtable" thread a bit more. This white one looks to clean.

Nice town! I love the details you have on it (like the stands) that really make it stand out. And sticking the gate in the corner like that is brilliant. For some reason I always run mine parallel to the board edge so I have to add all kinds of wall pieces, but now I have a new way to do it.

I do agree with the Prof. though that a "dirtier" board would be better for a town like this.

Thanx for your comments... ;)
Last night I took the big brush again and repainted much of the city (as you suggested), especially the board itself. I even dded a few dirt effects...



I also added a tower (a bit like teh Elefant-tower in the Conan story).











And I builded a few more market stalls.
Inspired are the stalls by nevermore:

Still a lot of work to do with all thoses little things, that bring a small town to life...

Steal what ever you like... :D

Now that looks awesome. I love the board. Was it just drybrushing or were inks used as well? It's hard to tell from the shot.

I could really see so many adventures taking place within the town.

Some lovely detail there (including the shrine to Ol' Squid Features by the market place  ;) ) Nice work!  :-*

The perfect place to punch a camel. Love the higgledy piggledy bustling appearance of it all - my towns always seem too regimented. Your market stalls, pots, bits and pieces certainly help add characterful flavour.
