A strange and distant land (my pulp terrain) Now with 70% more monsters

[BugPope]

Been in love with Pulp Alley recently (I'm a sucker for a system that manages to be fast and simple without being broken and unfinished. It's not impossible if you just put some effort into it, despite what a certain someone claims), and it has reawakened my old love for the old Tarzan novels, The Phantom and other jungle adventurers.
Unfortunately I don't get to play that often, so I have plenty of time to build terrain. Everything is built from scratch from Styrofoam, thrift store finds, cheap ornaments and the like.

The round hut is a decoration from Ikea with some cloth, plaster, bamboo sticks, wire from some headphones and a base made from a pot coaster. The skull in skull mountain is a dollar store find, and the other hut is made from a cornucopia.

My current project: a tacky wooden statue found at a garage sale, turned ancient idol.

That idol really looks the part: very nice!

Thank you. Going to every thrift store and garage sale I see pays off sometimes. And a simple mix of acrylic paint and fine sand works great for creating a stone texture.
I'm gonna add some weathering and jungle plants to it, to really make it pop.

Here's another statue, that used to be a cheap ornament and some wooden blocks.

The Chinese bandits are from Copplestone, the cat is from Reaper. Gotta fill up that last left-over slot in the roster somehow.

Anton Chevalier, gentleman adventurer, has a run in with a ferocious jungle monster.

Oh wow! Really liking your terrain. Can't wait to see it in action!

We spent about 3 years playtesting Pulp Alley before it was released. That helped us find and fix a lot of things and make improvements.

Through the decades, I bought so many games that looked good but were a nightmare to play. So Pulp Alley is designed for the guys that really play - if you know what I mean. 



HAVE FUN

Awesome terrain makes, me want to go to my local fish shop 

[MalcyBogaten]

Awesome stuff!

Particularly like the Incan looking statuette!

Thanks for giving me something else to look out for!!

I like the Skull Mountain.    Was the whole thing complete at a dollar store or did you craft the mountain around a skull?  Either way, looks cool.

You're the first person on this forum who agrees that one making sure that the game is actually playable before selling it is a good idea. It's refreshing.

The plastic skull was just a cheap, hollow plastic thing. When I first saw it at the dollar store, my first though was "I gotta make a skull mountain". It's been sandwiched between two blocks of foam, and then I used plaster to blend it in.

Did some more work on the statue, such as more highlights, some washes (I always do some green wash when I paint statues and ruins) and of course a lot of vines. The best part about this thing is that it's probably one of my easiest terrain projects ever, but also the one that looks the best. Minimum work, maximum reward.

Also did some cover. One of the few things that I'm not super happy about in Pulp Alley (and there's not a lot of those) is that the terrain rules assume that all cover is linear and low, like a low wall or some crates. Which is simple, but becomes an issue if you want to have area cover, like woods, jungle etc. I'm working on some houserules for that, but I also wanted to make some "normal" cover that fit the theme.

World renowned adventurer Lady Fairwright finds herself in a sticky situation, stuck between a death slug and a rock monster. Luckily, she brought her entourage: Rose, her stalwart assistant/bodyguard, equally adept at the martial arts of the east and the "martial sciences" of the west.
Tommy Two-Guns, master gunman infamous for shooting first, shooting again and then maybe shooting a third time for good measure. And then maybe, just maybe, ask questions.
And of course good old Uncle Benny Fairwright, who wishes he'd stayed at the mansion.

Meanwhile, a bultungin (aka bouda or were-hyena) is performing an ancient ritual with the support of the local medicine men. He's a Reaper model, the others are Foundry.

Some great stuff here, lovely work! 

[BugPope]

Did some more jungles. Figured I needed some more ruins and logs.

Also got a biiiig box of goodies from Arcane Scenery yesterday, so big things are coming. Literally.

Nice work there, they really look the business.
