Mate I've just done a quick post on some of the buildings that I used. <br /><br />In terms of vehicles I just venture into the local toy store from time to time and pick up cheap 1:43 scale die cast cars. Most of the vehicles in the post cost me about $3 AUD. Every now and again I might pay more, for example a truck that I got from somewhere or for the police car which I bought on line.

I've spent many hours checking it out before I was able to work out how to start my own (I"m not that tech savvy). Hopefully you enjoy the rest of the campaign.

I'd love to get to some of the big northern hemisphere conventions but unfortunately one of the bummers about being in Oz is the isolation from the US/UK gaming scene. <br /><br />If I ever get up there Ed I'll try to get into one of your games.

I've often wondered why Ed's ATZ system is so good but I think it's the mechanics and it puts YOU in the middle of the action. <br /><br />Yep, let's see if I can control myself and keep the scale under control.

Better lucky than good. <br /><br />Thanks for the feedback on the text. Yeah I was going for a different typeset to differentiate the story as opposed to me talking about the rules. <br /><br />I'll change it next time around to make it easier to read. <br /><br />Whilst writing up the report I also found that the road and the base of the figures is really dark making it hard to see them too. I might muck around a bit in photoshop next time to see if I can lighten them up too or maybe just take the photos with a slightly different perspective.

The dice surely worked in your favour this time.<br /><br />Regarding the Pathfinder campaign I am missing it but I kind of figured real life was getting in the way. It's sad but understandable and I don't mind waiting until things quiet down for you and you can once again devote some time to it.
