A case for sci fi dungeon tiles – part 3

See part 1 here.See part 2 here. Finally given the last tile its sealing spray, all in good time for the next holiday. I'm happy. All the flat cork surfaces got a layer of homemade textured paste: filler, PVA and cheap craft paint. The brown paint helped both make the mixture more spreadable and mark …

A case for sci fi dungeon tiles – part 2

See part 1 here.See part 3 here. After some delays and slow progress due to the very silly weather to which Britain is subjecting itself, I've made some headway on filling up the rest of the travel case with modular tiles. First off, I did end up sticking magnetic sheets to the bottoms and tops …

A case for sci fi dungeon tiles – part 1

See part 2 here.See part 3 here. Happily, I've found a decent container for the dungeon tiles - this old kitchen surface sample case. Large enough for a 4 x 3 grid of tiles flat, two full layers one on top of the other and, if I can keep everything thin enough, another layer of …

Just rotating the tiles 90° completely alters the possible routes across an adventure site, so assuming the struggling crew members don’t get too sick at the site of …

5 Parsecs From Home – campaign turn 1

Starting off a new 5 Parsecs From Home campaign on holiday with the newly finished sci fi dungeon tiles. Playing on Challenging difficulty – so should never have fewer than 3 opponents – with the supplement AI variable behaviours and deployments. Also house ruling in the social events tables from WeaselTech for a bit of …

Pulp Alley Reskinned – Sci Fi Haunted ‘Manor’

Pulp Alley has been one of my go-to games for a good few years, and I'm particularly fond of its Tomb of the Serpent campaign: a The Mummy-esque type affair that transposes well into a fantasy genre, and I wanted to do the same with sci fi. It has a good number and variety of …

Stackable sci fi tiles – WIP

Looking for some more travel-friendly gaming terrain, and for a bit more variety than the two fixed boards in a case. I like the concept of dungeon tiles, and have enjoyed playing around with the TTCombat set in fantasy games. They're very flexible in what they can be arranged to represent, and pack away very …
