Well I had thought about a little cross over for a future game but I will leave the 'other thing' out of it for this one.

I was going to ask you that!  lol

Great minds think alike.

I was just thinking this setup would be perfect for a "Thing" scenario.

And Shoggoths and Giant Albino Penguins...

Well, 2/3rds of the film  versions of The Thing, the book and HPL's original are in Antarctica.

I am much more inclined to Pulp or Spy-Fy so a James Bond scenario or similar would work well.  I like the idea of adding some trees and making it Finland but I would prefer a 'Harry Palmer' style of game.  I'd have to lose both the submarine and the camp though.....

A great project and so well executed.  :-*

And when I first saw it I said "The Thing" immediately.

It's been a while since I updated the project.  :(   

I have made some considerable progress to bring the project to its conclusion ready for BLAM 17.  Here is some shots of the latest stuff.

I have finally finished the interiors.  First up the Accommodation.



Next the Stores.



The Garage.



The Radio Shack.



Here are some more survivors, this time on skis.









I have just completed the character cards, the event cards, and the clues as well as the character sheets.

I will produce shots of those after the game at BLAM.

Hope you like them.

I have the same issue but the other way around.
Can I book a 'Thursday' slot please?

You put a great amount of work, but it pays off!  :-*
Also your skier figures look so realistic! Many congrats!
