I was thinking about adding an upper level to some of my Gothic Realms stuff, but I needed a way to get up there. Now I have a way.

The dread Slinky (tm) beast!

The Auld Grump - What goes down stairs,
In singles and pairs...

A gallows.

That is a fantastic set.

I can already imagine the fight across the separate levels, with archers taking aim through the floor opening as the melee takes place on the stairs. All with the constant droning of the summoning circle as a gate to the outer planes is opened and a Glabrezu steps in.

Heh, heh - my players cringe.

I plan on using it with the W:40K scenario "Stop the Ritual" from the Daemonhunters Codex. The steps are a healthy 1" x 3" so they can handle a whole squad rushing up them. I added a paper "big stone head" onto the extension at the back of the lower platform after I took the pics. It seemed like it needed a blasphemous idol of some sort.

That's WAY cool! You guys always surprise me with your innovative use of the sets. Thanks for sharing

Hmmmmm - could also be an alternative Stargate that might not cause me trouble with the licensed Stargate stuff when I run a Stargate 1870 game.

I could make a pdf of the stairs if anyone wanted them (and it is cool with Denny). The line thicknes on the tabs is really shoddy and the textures are a little out of proportion, but it looks OK from a distance.

What did you use to get the trim around the well/opening? I found a site with an "event horizon" to print onto a transparency that would look good underneath it, but I'm not that good with software and stuff yet to create my own works. The floor and grid pattern looks do-able with the tiles from Interiorworks Castles and Keeps. The ideas keep on flowing!

I used the green sewer masterboard page and just cut out the green part for the center well.

Gothic Realms? Hmm, well it is on my shopping list. I'll have to snatch it as I get CWU. Great job.

Wow that is fantastic! I love the inspiration I find on these forums!
