[QUOTE="ledded, post: 1391757, member: 12744"] And this has become a large part of the fun; everybody gets to grab some of the toys, er, terrain and set up whatever section they like. We tend to run very dynamic games; like OldDrewId said, unless it's a very specific scene with a specific map, we tend to play it a bit off-the-cuff and go with whatever shows up on the table. Most of the time the GM has a specific broad layout and a few details in mind, and everyone else gets to add their contribution to what is there, which the GM invariably uses against you in some way :). It is a lot of fun to have everyone scrambling to build this big, nice scene and is a good part of the night. We all get to use a little creativity, and someone may drop some scenery that is very appropriate and helpful where you, as GM, would have never thought of it. It's very inspiring, and the setup often seems to get us in the mood for what is about to go down. I actually have some, but havent posted any because they are verifiable evidence of just how disturbed and neurotic we are. :) But yes, we have everything from a small fleet of resin 16th century sailing ships, to Star Wars AT-ST walkers, landspeeders, and swoop bikes, to a shocking variety of buildings, bunkers, industrial scenery in a wide variety of materials and building styles. So much that, even though we have at least 5 floor-to-ceiling shelf units filled with stuff in the room, there is still a few shelves worth in the closet we need to find a way to get into the room more often. I even built a rudiementary set of cliff faces and are almost 2 feet tall (that's over 100 feet to you in miniature scale) complete with little shelfs, niches, ledges, and crannies to be able to simulate climbing for the PC's or mooks. OldDrewId is right; many of my terrain-psychotic episodes have been directly inspired by ideas that we worked ourselves up over in conversation or email. But I would say your contribution has been more than that, as you often bring in small toys and pieces of things and then shove inspiration into my mind as to what to do with them. By the way, I've already drawn out my plan for those pieces you brought last time; a full scale 747 complete with playable internal area will be in the works soon. At least we already have a few aircraft (including a to-scale C-47, which will be featured here soon) and helicopters to crash into it :) And anyway, with the incredible, detailed, and interesting worlds that you craft and allow us to run around in, the least we can do is slave over a pile of pewter, plaster, wood, styrofoam or plastic to help it come to life for us. Unhealthy? You wound me sir :). All that painting and cutting and glueing gives me *some* exercise, so I dont think I'd call it completely unhealthy. :D The minis and terrain has become as much of a hobby as playing, and I dont think that I could quit either for some time to come. Now if you want to talk about truly disturbing, I noticed you left out all mention of the abundance of crazy roleplaying props... including a nice collection of broken toy airsoft guns that we fiddle around with while playing Modern. And that sombrero. [/QUOTE]
