[QUOTE="pogre, post: 1026401, member: 6588"] [b]Re: Great Stuff![/b] Hi Old One, 1. We use measuring tapes for outdoor scenes 1" = 5'. Some of the players in the past have had spell templates made of their favorites. Each character figure occupies a 1" diameter circle and exerts a zone-of-control (old Avalon Hill term for you) centered on themselves and 3" across. The zone-of-control is used for determining AoO and other such requirements. 2. Lots of Dwarven Forge, I also make a lot of dungeon stuff with Hirst Arts blocks. The outdoor buildings and ruins are made with foam card, balsa, other bits, and Hirst Arts blocks. My brother builds a lot of the stuff. The Hills are from Warzone - a friend and I bought huge lots of it from a hobby store going out of business. Trees and shrubs are diy variety from railroad kits. 3. It's all set up on the fly, but there is a trick. It's all contained in large drawers near our playing surface and we can assemble almost anything very quickly. I often describe the room as I hand the pieces over to construct the room. I have experimented with pre-set pieces and it just does not work that well for me. The one thing that has worked fairly well is to assemble entire rooms ahead of time from Hirst Blocks. Some of those rooms, like my crypt-throne room have become my favorite pieces. Thanks for the comments Old One - I have always been a big fan. Good news/Bad News - going to Gen Con/ no updates for a week or so. Hope to see a lot of you there! [/QUOTE]
