Gluing and sticking

My son went to his friends after school so I had a couple of hours of extra free time (he does'nt often go anywhere without me-it felt odd). Anyway I had one small piece of balsa left from which I have fashioned a deer hide. Earlier in the week Conrad and I watched "Sleepy Hollow" and a chap climbs into one of these towers to keep watch for the headless horseman.

Mine differs considerably from the hide in the film but in my defence I was working on a tighter budget than Tim Burton. I will begin painting over the weekend, hopefully it will pass muster.

I also began experimenting with the foam board...I am not used to it yet but I would love to create a few Sleepy Hollow type houses. I have no idea why I want to build them...maybe it will provide an excuse to buy some Blue Moon figures, but then I would need a simple ruleset-any suggestions?



Sorry about the picture quality, I am on my old computer and I have no way of cropping or enhancing them...just noticed that my desk is really messy! Thanks for looking, hope you all have a good weekend.

  1. Great idea!

    Song of Blade and Heroes perhaps? SoBH is a generic ruleset usable for all kind of fantasy/medieval releated game scenarios.

    I use it for almost every kind of scenario and for solo games. If the scenarios are more futuristic style I use Flying Lead or Mutants and Death Ray Guns.

  2. That's good work even without Tim Burtons budget.

  3. Looks good.

    I was thinking of a headless horseman game myself last week (after playing a hidden object pc game about the horseman) and was wondering what rules to use myself.

    I am very tempted to use Matakishi's "Crom" rules (which are free) adapted for the period. I tried the rules out in a Pirate game and they worked perfectly.

    If you haven't already seen them, you can find them here: http://www.matakishi.com/crom.htm

  4. Thanks for the comments and the rules suggestions. My son is mad about anything related to zombies, ghosts or Van Helsing so we will definatley be giving this "period" a go.
    Thanks again.
