[QUOTE="sniffles, post: 3262696, member: 30035"] I would, but for some reason IE won't let me post pictures. Jubilee's hubby has also used aquarium decor as props, similar to what Replicant2 mentions. They found some Egyptian-themed items that were great for when our party went to Mulhorand in FR. They also found a playset by some unknown toy manufacturer that had hollow plastic walls with Egyptian designs on them and came with some Egyptian-style plastic statues. The scale was just right for some monumental pyramid-builder architecture, and the GM used the walls as his GM screen during those sessions. I found some little plastic people at Archie McPhee's, which has a website but I think you can only get the plastic figurines at their physical store in Seattle. I bought a bunch of generic people that came in handy as set dressing for our superhero games - there are even cops and little old ladies with canes. :D [url]http://www.mcphee.com/[/url] We've also used Hot Wheels and other toy cars for superhero and modern-setting games. The scale is just a bit small for minis, but close enough that they look good on the mat. Back when we were playing a Star Trek campaign we bought a ton of Micromachines spaceships from their Star Trek and Babylon 5 lines. We also had toy phasers and tricorders, enough for every player to have one. [/QUOTE]
