Videos i would really like to see. -Graveyard!! -Urban/town/roof top encounters (i do a lot of urban stuff in my campaigns and could use a cheap awesome source for terrain)
others things that might be nice -gag reel? (maybe something fun for april fools) -storage, how do u store all of this wonderful stuff u make??
Quick into of myself Hi, names Bill I am mainly and truly a wargamer. I have been watching all the vid to get ideas on how to make terrain for miniature games. More outdoor stuff would be good to see also.I have not had a chance to role play since my child was born 4 years ago:( I mostly run Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay (2nd ed, not the crappy board game FFG is currently promoting and play 1st ed D&D when i did play.
Thanks

I've been recently working on a graveyard (Which is moving along slowly, but in a way I am finding effective). One thing I recently came up with to make the graveyard A) more easily stored, and B) look cool, and C) have a wide amount of usage was to take cardstock (Really thick stuff if you can manage it...even thicker than the back piece of notepads) and cut it 4 inches wide by 2 inches. Then, I cut it in a staggered pattern. That is, I cut half an inch away from the bottom and top at alternating areas (each area one inch wide) so it looks a little like a sort of jig saw pattern, or teeth on one end.
Then I just place my headstones, flocking, etc at the top end, and fit multiple pieces like this together. Each section has four gravesites, although you could do them as small as two graves or as much as 6 (Supposedly...I would be reluctant to go higher than 5). Fit all together, it looks like a cramped graveyard, and can still be used for (as an example) fantasy wargaming or Gridless roleplaying with miniatures very easily (Most mini's of average size fit between the graves). If you spread them out, it looks really good too. And it's good for storage.

I'd love to post a picture, and as soon as I have the capability of doing so I plan on doing it (as well as posting a bazillion other photos of stuff I've made). Problem is that recently the only camera I have available to me was broken, and money has been an issue...food & bills VS a camera for a family that is photophobic...obviously it pans out in favor of the bills and food. Although if I could get an advance on that 1000 Gp, mayhap I could make it work out
