Wonderful idea with the dice tower!  8)

May I suggest that one of those towers to added next to a corral so that when you roll the dice, the dice roll out in to the corral and not disperse amongst the gaming area... Of course what happens to possible minis inside the corral is another matter :D

Carry On Upsheet Creek - there's a film idea in that! :D

(well, Carry On Cowboy was the inspiration for my Outlaw Posse leader in Legends of the Old West - Sidney Rumpo :)).

I may be an infrequent replier, but I am a constant lurker so I am always sneaking a peek at what you're up to, Paul.

Thanks, chaps!

OOh that's smart, Well done James - your a top lad!

It was Bobble, not Bibbles, who designed these, mate.
Bubbles shall be designing the next one.....
 ;)

All under control, mate.
All four establishment with Towers added will have a 'yard' or similar to contain the escaping dice.
 :D


I hope to make a start on the first one tomorrow.

I hope James makes one that fits his factory building... one can pour the dice into the factory chimney and all that :)

Can't wait to see your dice towers ready Paul, I will surely nick your ideas ;)

Dice towers as terrain pieces...most excellent. I was contemplating it: nice to see it executed. Hopefully there is no copyright on this idea, as you can consider it stolen.  lol

I've seen some nice versions of this idea at conventions.  Very cool to see it here.

That would be a good idea, mate.
Something I must remember.

Not my idea, mate.
It is all Bobble's fault this time.

I seriously doubt that anyone could claim ownership of the dice tower idea.
Plenty of examples about, as Elbows points out.




Have you built a Cat house for upcreek?....Saloon girls and n stuff?

Now that you mention it I have started on a cathouse.
The outcome may now be what you may be expecting, though....wait until you see the size of it for a start.

Dice towers? Dice towers?

Right, that does it.
I'm going to put a volcano on top of my cave system, and the crater shall be the dice rolling receptacle!
;)

...Actually, thinking about it, the rules I'm codging together are going to be entirely sans dice (yay!). So scrub that idea  :D

Just borrow Giles' volcano....although you may need a bigger board!

What would His Lordship say?


The cathouse is almost finished, but that will have to wait until Wednesday as there could well be a shootout at the Creek tomorrow.

And Jeff has also finished the rest of the Pinkerton Band.

Now I just have to base them all up and the cupboard shall be full, so to speak...
