"tomb terrain" Topic

Here is a pic of something Ive been working on.

Its made out of Project Bricks that I bought at Michaels. Im going to use it in my pulp games as the mummys tomb. I left it fairly generic so I can use it for other things like a secret nazi lab or a fantasy dungeon crawl.

This looks great!

I am not familiar with Project Bricks – what are they?

It's a little small, isn't it?

Just kidding, that looks *great*! I've had my eye on those Project Bricks for a while now – this is just further temptation.

Cover sections with posterboard, and only expose them as the players enter each section. Keep 'em guessing!

You know I always thought the bricks were too big for wargaming. But they are perfect for this kind of thing.

I looked at them a number of times thinking they would have a use but I though they were too big as well. Converted me.

Project Bricks are these little precut, pre painted styrofoam bricks they sell at Michaels and Hobby Lobby for kids to make school projects. You glue them together with Elmers or hot glue. You can roll them to make columns or pinch the tops to make crenelations or something.

They run $14.99 USD for about 200 bricks or so. I was able to make about two and a half tiles out of one box of bricks. I cleanded out the supply at at least two Michaels stores. I hope some kid didnt need to build the alamo or something for school.

Thanks for the kind words. Im going to build at least three more giving me a total of ten tiles. I want to run pulp games on them with anyhwere from four to ten teams each with their own set of objectives. I'll also be stocking the tomb with various random encounters like traps and critters. I also bought several of the Egyptian TOOBS from Michaels to use as scenery bits.

Neat looking!

Chuck05,
Was that price before the 40% off coupon? Thanks for sharing.

@redmist1122:

Yep $14.99 USD before coupon.

Chuck

That's pretty cool. I gather from the size that that's for 25/28s?

@Sundance:

Thanks.

Yep. 28mm. It gets a little tight in spots so its hard to place some larger based figures. Not too bad though.

Im going to run a game on it next week for the first time using .45 Adventure. It should be fun. New terrain and a new game.

Im going to use your suggestion Jpattern2. An excellent suggestion.

Twill be a singular sensation.
Well done!
Cheers and bravos,
Bill

Chuck loaned his extraordinary Tomb sectons to me for the Colonial Adventure Story Expedition To Alexandrapour. They appeared in the closing chapter of the story; Chapter XXII, Buried Alive.

Dynamics were:
Stacking them, tight photographs taken in semi-darkness, special lighting devices for shadows, special effects and placing them side to side and back to back to back to enhance depth and width of the complex.
----
It is an interesting experience to give the illusion of lots of terrain when at times there is very little.

Chuck's Treasure Room has a raised area with a central block which can be removed. I had a lot of fun with it using it as a portal to descend deeper to other areas.

Scroll about half-way down to see Chuck's fabulous Tomb sections organized differently than when we do his Tomb Game. They formed part of the underground lost ancient City of Alexandrapour on The Campaigns of General Pettygree blog. Perhaps some of you have visited the General's Blog. If not go back to November 14, 1900 and March 15, 1901 to see what I am talking about.

Thanks a million Chuck!
