But the above is probably as coherent as my thought patterns are ever going to be! 😂 Working on some intro level video scripts also. Will consider!

Mockup making an awful lot of promises, methinks.

Yeah, wood's the ticket!

For turret, I think flipping boards 90 degrees and extend to cover the wall - throwing in a cut-out with a ladder down also.

Same, @jmabbott lol

Early to mid 90's we moved from playing outside to indoors. School library had some Fighting Fantasy and Lone Wolf volumes which tricked us into mostly the local Basic Roleplaying variant, 1st edition Mutant Chronicles, WEG Star Wars - touching on Call of Cthulhu and MERP and some other local specialities also. Primary GM had a thing for creating systems of their own so we did quite alot of that also. Then school was out, youth spent, and we went our seperate ways.

Got back into the hobby proper a few years into the 2000's by way of D&D and the then-local gaming club - also adding 3e Shadowrun, WH40K roleplaying game variants and some Twilight 2000. They tried to get me hooked on ASL but...you know*. D&D shifted to Pathfinder at the club and that pretty much - along with CoC - became the primary outlet over the next decade.

Reconnected with my adolescence pals over VTT for some more Pathfinder. Shifted to virtual platform entirely because of the logistics of family - but also chronic calendar issues with the club crew. Managed to squeeze in some 5e D&D as well before more family logistics.

I have managed to limit my system hoarding to a select few - just enough to facilitate my late stage just-in-case syndrome. I reckon there will be a handful more games to be played before the end - I just haven't settled on which systems yet. So until the stars are right again, I am prepping. And surveying. And prepping. And prepping.

And is it turns out, this state of perpetual prepping goes rather well with mapping, which I got into around the time of transitioning to VTT.

*It's all just punched paper and bureaucracy, isn't it.

Left, right?
