Feeling strangly slightly over inspired this week by that crazy halloweeen thing that’s happening this month.
Not quite sure how it’s going to end up and if it’s going to be anything like what I had in mind, but I’ll take it.

I’ve been using Claude.AI to help work out a few ideas. Definitely helps, but as I’ve noticed with Github co-pilot at work you really need to check things it says. I’ve already caught it using the wrong dimensions for the overal structure and I think there’s a few more errors but as I’ve hit the limit of ‘free’ use today I can’t fix that yet.

Oh … I also got that haunted house that @sundancer was working on, because who the heck can ignore 5 Euro terrain ?

Anyways. Hobby is as hobby does, so I’m going with the flow and not question things too much.

All I really need at the moment is to keep that momentum going and finish the bloody thing before the deadline.
Plan has been set in motion, stuff has been ordered of the interwebs and the local DIY.
Only problem is that there is a lot of EPS going into this and I only have my own feet and hands to transport stuff so it’s going to involve several trips before I get everything.

Question: has anyone else done 1:1 scale terrain for Halloween before ?

@Wonkygoblin I think terrain for games that is used in rulebooks always looks intimidating to re-create at home, but it does help sell the game.

Starter sets that come with terrain (even if it’s just a few pieces of cardboard) at least get you started and can help generate ideas for expanding your terrain collection when done right.

I hope you can find a way to turn your terrain research into a chapter (or two) for the book, because one of the things I’ve always missed is any info on what to actually collect/build.
And try to condense some of your terrain into cardboard cutouts for people to print.

@pagan8th when I buy issues of WI from Warlord in their webshop they do come with a sprue if there is one. That is a work-around of sorts. It does make me wonder if ordering two issues would get me one of each sprue 😀
