Pulp (literally!) floor plans
« on: July 03, 2012, 06:08:31 PM »
I have been raiding charity shops for copies of Cluedo as a source of cheap figures, and ended up with a pile of spare bits that went in the bin...apart from the boards that I simply couldn't throw away while there was a possibly they could be useful!

Enter the scalpel and ruler:


And a black pen to colour the edges:


To make a versatile set of rooms and corridors for skirmish games (I'm thinking of using them with Better Dead than Zed as well):



What do you think?!

Cool idea!

Also check out the floorplans from the FFG game Mansions of Madness... Just beautiful!

These are nice.  I have the Hard Boiled Pulp series and they are good for generic 1920s games.

That's very clever... I think I have to take a look to my old boardgames  ;)

Fantastic Idea.  I have a set or two left over from pillaging the figures for my deluxe Kill Doctor Lucky board game.

Wow those are really nice...I wish I hadn't talked one of my gaming group out of buying it now (we thought it would take too long to play). I might have to save those pics onto my hard disk for doing something with later

It's a boardgame by Cheapass Games, intended to be the opposite of Cluedo.  More info:

Nice recycling! (And I highly recommend "Kill Doctor Lucky")
