The tents forms are just scraps of cardboard, then q-tips for the top. I just cut off the fuzzy bits and put four together to a point using masking tape... I may have ruined them with my paint though... Will have to see if I can salvage...

Anyway, finished the tower...

Thanks - the tower looks good, I like the corrugated tiles.

I got the terrain on the table this week, now just gotta come up with a good pulp scenario for the setting... Any suggestions?

This looks like it would be perfect for "The Lost Keys" scenario. "Trail of Clues" would also work well for that setting.

Thanks, I definitely want to give those scenarios a try--I guess I meant, suggestions on a good narrative story line that I could base some scenarios around... Looking for some story ideas...

I picked up some Casablanca type minis--need to get those painted up...

Have you thought about basing it on of your favourite books or films? Sometimes using elements from 2 or 3 books/films works. You can use old adventures and bring them into the Pulp era, 'The Man Who Would Be King' or maybe even using the storyline from The Three Musketeers and updating it? 'King Solomon's Mines', 'She', 'Tintin', 'Casablanca', 'Beau Geste', 'Adele Blanc Sec', 'The Mummy', 'Indiana Jones', 'Rocketeer', 'The Phantom', 'The Shadow', 'Allan Quartermain', 'Librarian', 'Jack Hunter' etc.

I think some French Foreign Legion troops would look good in your set-up, 'Biggles Foreign Legionnaire', 'The Flying Carpet'.

Looking at that awesome table, I think it screams a hunt for the kidnapped daughter of the (fill in the blank). Rumors say she's gone off and joined a new cult, while others say a certain despot has a taste for young, wealthy nubile ladies and she's bound for a harem if not rescued in time. Still others say she was kidnapped for ransom money to fund the rebellion brewing in the outlying areas...

Anything "click" with the leagues you have planned?

Sounds pretty awesome... I have some bound captives that need painting... And maybe a squad of gendarmes...

And finished off a bunch of small buildings, so there's a nice maze on the table...

Gonna make some palm trees, and maybe some merchant stalls... Gotta add some flavour... "For special friends of Rick's..."

Thanks, Mike! Your village is really inspiring. You created a lot of realistic buildings in a relatively short time and inexpensively. The details (floors, ladders, awnings) all great. Thanks for sharing!

Fantastic! Love those ladders and perilous walkways crossing the rooftops!

Oh, looks like fun!

When I get stuck for a story, I normally make a few rolls on the Plot Points, At Whose Behest, and What's at Stake tables. That usually gives me enough ideas to piece together a fun storyline.
