Under Projects (to the right–>) you will find journal entries about the trial and tribulations of building Shellendrak Manor with foam core. Periodically I will be posting updates to the project page as I get stuff done. Originally a lot of this content was on the World Works Games forum but I decided to add it here as well.
This is a game report using the Forsaken rules. It is a scenario involving humans, werewolves and vampires. I ran this scenario recently at Cold Wars and plan on including it in the Forsaken rules.
The story below give an overview of the main events that occured in the game. It doesn’t cover each move or every time someone was wounded. But you should get an idea of what went down.
I hope you enjoy the write up. Read the rest of this entry »
I haven’t had time to post my pictures of Forsaken from Cold Wars in the past week, but finally here they are. The pictures show 2 of the 3 games I ran. The first game is the scenario Virus Outbreak. Unfortunately on Saturday I was focused on running the Forsaken, Amulet of Amathra scenario with 7 players that I didn’t get many pictures of that game. But I do have some good photos from a local game the week before. I will be posting a battle report from that game soon.
So I started working on Shellendrak manor and have a nice begining. The 1st floor of the manor has been glued onto gator foam. This floor has been the largest I have assembled yet. It was assembled out of 7 separate pieces. Using the low tack painters tape has helped out a ton on these multi-piece buildings. Instead of having to glue down 7 separate pieces individually I assemble all of them at one time using the painters tape and then spray mounted it to the gator foam all in one go. I also have finished the photoshop work on the 1st level walls for the outside and most of the inside. I am looking forward to see the first floor built.
Unfortunately the Shellendrak manor has now been put on hold. Cold Wars is coming up and I need to finish some other scenery, plus paint some figures for the two scenarios I will be running. Neither of which use the manor. Maybe the next convention. So for now it will be put aside for more important stuff. But it will be built.
So I have finally started on my next big build for a Forsaken demo game at Cold Wars. I have decide to build the World Works Games Shellendrak Manor. A nice piece of scenery that can be used for 20th century gaming on into the 21st. After a bit of photoshop work I have completed the base tile that shows the first floor of the manor and the surrounding landscape. The file size is 28.5″w x 28.5″h. I designed it to fit with my modern WWG stuff in case I want to combine them somehow.This terrain piece will be bulked out using foamcore like all my buildings.
Hopefully everything will fit together nicely but this is the largest piece I have built to date. I am also going to try and do a few new modifications like working doors. It will be nice if everything works as planned. I’ll post more pictures as construction progresses.
I finally got around to writing my “how to” for making paper buildings with foamcore. Enjoy.
