Doom pimped up board

 Doom

This is for the original Doom boardgame (2004) by Fantasy Flight Games and not the revised Doom boardgame (2016) also by Fantasy Flight Games.

This game is similar to Descent.  All I had to make were Doors and Room and Corridor floors.

I used the Hirst Arts Sci-Fi Moulds 270-273 for the floors and 301, 302 for the walls/doors.

I have yet to paint my figures.  Those in the photos were supplied by my friend Alan Forsyth.

Age of Sail Model Ships

 Various Figures for Age of Sail Wargaming I have various figures for my Age of Sail Wargames.  Some of them are cheap and cheerful, others are expensive works of art.  I have reviewed them for anyone wanting to know what they are like. Navwar Navwar 110, 74 and 38 mounted on card bases Navwar was started in the 1970's to provide affordable ship models for war gamers and that’s exactly what they do. For the price of one of the more expensive manufacturers models you can have 3 or 4 of these.  The ships are cast in a soft white metal and are supplied as a complete kit. Hull, Masts with sails, Bowsprit sail, Driver and ships boats.  They paint up fairly easily and can be rigged enough to look the part.

Masts & Sails The sail set provided is Easy Sail with courses furled and each mast and sails are

Various Age of Sail Wargame Rules

Over the years I have tried various Age of Sail Wargame Rules.  Here is what I think of some of them.  Rules for Wargaming Author Arthur Taylor Published by Shire Publications Ltd 1971 & 1976    I first came across these rules back in the 70s.  I used the Airfix kits cut along the waterline to play them. These Rules were published as part of the little 'Discovering' series of books. Arthur Taylors main premise for all the rules in this book is that no dice are used.  Success depends on the players skill at seeing the potentialities of the board and not the luck of the dice. The only time dice are used is to set and possibly change the wind speed and direction. Ship orders are written at the start of each turn and there is no initiative system so I assumed moves and firing were done simultaneously. I remember a lot of ships were dismasted and crawling around on jury masts. Advanced and Basic There are only the basic rules.  No Advanced or optional rules are provided. Crew Th

The TSR Dark Sun Campaign World

Image
 TSR Dark Sun   Back in 1991 TSR released a new campaign setting.  It was totally unlike any they had released before.  The whole feel of the world leant heavily on the artist Brom who produced a lot of the early artwork for it. The setting was called Dark Sun, and was a metal poor desert world that had had the life leeched out of it by over use of Magic.  It was nothing like the medieval fantasy settings we were used to and came with a new set of Races and Monsters.  There were also new Character Classes that reflected the world. Dark Sun was a harsh place.  Keeping track of your water became important.  Almost all the flora and fauna was out to eat you and the world was full of ancient towers, ruins and complexes that had been abandoned to the harsh environment centuries ago. There were several large city states ruled by Immortal Sorcerer Kings and run by their Templars who worshiped them as gods.  There was an uneasy truce between these Sorcerer Kings which allowed commerce to take
