Ancient Ruins Part 2!

 Well we finally started painting those "Ancient" ruins we put together several months ago.  So far we have only used rattle can spray paint and there is a bit more work we need to do on them but they are almost done.  We've decided we want to leave the ruins bare so we can used them in different environments.

I'm sure we will be expanding the set in the future and adding some raised levels and other details.  We expect to get quite a use out of them for many different settings although we started them for our Conan project in particular.

Cthulhu and Conan

I work nights and it's really hard to get in gaming time because weekends tent to be catch up on family time and even though we are a gaming family there are sometimes other things that need doing.  To that end I have contacted some gaming friends who have Friday afternoon off and we have decided to try and have a game session from noon to four on Fridays.  We've rolled up characters and decided to alternate between Call of Cthulhu and Conan adventures which is cool because we can use a lot of the same miniature resources.  Even though the settings are very different since Lovecraft and Howard influenced each other so much the two settings work well together. 

Another good thing about these settings is that the protagonist are all humans and that makes it easier to have a flexible miniature collection for each setting.  I've already got a nice collection of "Pulp" era protagonist painted and a large number prepped and ready to be painted.  As far as the Conan stuff I have a fair amount of that in my collection too although not as much of that is painted at the moment.

So I will likely be post a lot of new projects based on these two settings in the near future.  

New Project: "Underworld" game

I'm starting a new project and RPG campaign based on the Underworld series of movies. Underworld Revolution will focus on the time period just after the events in "Rise of the Lycans". I will be using the Savage Worlds Deluxe edition rules. The player characters will be a party of "Death Dealers" the warrior cast of the Vampires. "Revolution" will be the first chapter of what I hope becomes a Death Dealer campaign that will run up to and beyond the events portrayed in "Evolution".

I'm pretty excited that I will be able to use so many different historic miniatures with of course some fantasy, science fiction, steam punk, and pulp adventure thrown in.
