Another Pulp Trap (+ How To)

[Traveler Man]

A very effective and nasty-looking little piece. 

Do you prepare the plastic foliage in any way before painting? I know to my cost some surfaces don't accept paint too well even after prepping.

Unless those spikes are a decoy so you fall into a pit trap....

Well, that's where my theory falls to the ground...

Seems like it works a treat.   No body was actually hurt, the character that kicked the trap was removed from the board and rejoined his league in the following game.

nice Idea !! I realy like it !

Caught in a trap 

Love it 

Thank you very much

"rejoined his league in the following game" - a little help here as i seem to have some type of thorn in my side.

"decoy to fall into a pit trap" - i love spy vs spy

thanks (or curses) to the ideas here, i've bent a stick (more or less), whittled some spikes, and cut some uprights so i figure i'm about half done with my version.

Thanks for all the nice comments!  Traveler Man, I have had little trouble with the plastic foliage.  I prime them with Rustoleum flat black and that seems to do the trick. Pistolpete, it sounds like you are on the right track. You only seem to be missing the drink at hand and evil laughter while crafting your trap

Hey Lon,

Are you going to these trap pieces on the table at the start, to show areas that are perilous or extremely perilous?

Or...

Will you place these pieces on the table when a character encounters a peril, maybe at a plot point or from an 'Unseen Peril' card?



I guess you could also do both, but I was wondering what you had in mind to use these pieces during a scenario.


Great job! Very creative and effective.

Dave,
I had planned to leave them off table until the players encountered them.  Then they would stay on as a permanent peril.  Something nasty to push your oponent back into.  The rake trap, off course only stays on the table until it is sprung.

You need a big viking dude with a hammer hanging off it a la Conan.  Nicely done.  I really like it.

doomsdave - i was thinking more like the scene in indiana jones where his guide gets stuck "stay out of the light".

marianas - same plan here, leave it off as you never know where/when a trap will appear.

last night i glued up all the pieces so next up is priming.

To-may-to; To-mah-to.  It looks great regardless

I have been working on a classic noose trap to round out my set of traps for my pulp table.  Here is a work in progress.
C and C always welcome.
