Sea Table and Ships!

Table is a 8' x 4' Dry Erase board scored into 1" squares. The Ships are plywood, cut and wood glued with extra head room between decks to move figures around and floors scored in 1" squares. =)

With giant sea kitty behemoth! Oh noes!

;)


Kitty! It's so cute! What breed is it? Male or female?

lol, I thought people would be excited at my new 8 foot gaming table...at the least the cool ships I made, but NO!! Kobe steals my thunder! Damn, cute snuggly kitty! (he is an orange tabby - not sure if thats a real breed - but he is very big for a kitty and the most affectionate cat I've ever been around)


He's cute. My family's cat is a female blue point Siamese. She's a very awesome cat, though rather quirky.

I didn't even notice the table. I saw ships, and thought they were kind of cool, but then the kitty came along and distracted me. Ships are awesome, but not more than a kitty.

The table and ships are cool. ;)


Do the levels of the ship seperate, or do you have to use tongs to move your minis below decks? :p Either way, definitely looks cool :)

Contributor

lol, yeah. "I love cats" song comes to mind... =) And sorry, I am just excited about the table...it sets onto the exsisting dinning room table that my group used to play on with a 3' by 4' roll out mat. They have no idea what awaits them at next session!

What does everyone else play on?

The ships don't actually don't seperate...but there is extra head room and accessable from each side with more than enough spacve to move your fig and hands into and still see the space they are in.


Thats pretty cool! I envy you for the table and space^^
Already thought about getting my old Lego pirate ship out of some boxes.


Shmowzow dude! That's really freaking awesome. I almost want to quit running my Kingmaker game and start on the Shackles.


looks great, if you want to optimize it, I would go with some think dark brown lines at the border or it looks like the model of a ship, which it is, but still.

Next Im building some carts/carriages/wagons =)


What are the ships made out of?

Tabby describes the coat pattern (stripes, basically). The breed would probably be described by your vet as DMH or DLH (Domestic Medium/Long Hair), which pretty much means "cat - no particular breed".

Orange tabbies are almost always male - the colouring is sex-linked and recessive, so female orange tabbies are pretty uncommon.

I should start building ships and selling them. lol Anyone care for a Ship?! hehe

The Exchange

My love of sailing craft means that almost every one of my campaigns has involved sea and river travel. Lacking Zerzix's Craft skills, I designed several vessels using white posterboard, a hand-drawn grid of 1-inch squares and some careful work with markers and scissors. They can be laid on your regular combat map for situations where there's a shore or sea encounter and moved along with all the figs on them: and you can go into details on them - details which quick hand-drawn maps often omit or misplace (which square contains the wheel/tiller? Where are the stays and shrouds anchored so rope-climbers can get into the rigging?)

Also - sure has been a while since Paizo offered nautical adventures. I remember Part 3 of 'Savage Tide' fondly, even though I didn't run it - you know, the run from Sasserine to the Isle of Dread?


Do you think that ranged characters (archers, gunslingers, spellcasters) will have an edge in Skulls and Shackles? Sea campaings seem to involve a lot of huge scale encounters.

Nice boats by the way!
