Subject: BUILDINGS
ALL of mine are home made, with some generic buildings, as well as plot specific buildings. and all have removable roofs, and floors inside the frame for ease of play. BOB is right about the ways to improve card buildings. card buildings and paper buildings are what the groups i started gaming with used at first, and later continued to use along with plastic RR building kits, and even European resin imports. adding the mat board or foamcore backing makes them much sturdier, as does adding a terrained base. the type of buildings i use depends on the scenario and the scenario tech level. this means i can used medieval, middle eastern, wild west, WW II, KILL ZONE /COMBAT ZONE, and sci-fi pieces that i have. but we really need some spaceports, research stations, starship, spaceship, and space station interiors too. lunar and asteroid installations would be nice. and mundane colonial buildings representing everyday life on JONES' PLANET or BACKWATER-3 and sewers! think of all of the potential for games uses of sewers, evrything from THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA IN SPACE to THEM!
