Hey Denny, the font for the Dead Fall title, is that something you came up with? I don't recognize it but like it very much!

The font that the 'Caps' and 'Subtitle' looks familiar but I can't immediately place it. I probably saw it (or something similar) on http://www.dafont.com recently. The 'ead all' letting seems like a stock 'western' font, of which there are a bagillion varieties, though "Insane Rodeo" seems closest ( http://www.dafont.com/ifc-insane-rodeo.font ) .

Off the top of my head I can't recall but it was something stock which I futzed with. I wish I had more time to design fonts from scratch but most of the time I have to mutate and mash-up preexisting sets.

Oh yeah - DUH! #-o

: [in the order they struck me]

TRAINS! with track [anyone been watching "Hell on Wheels" on AMC TV?]

Standees fof: Cattle / Horses (both wild and domesticated) / Buffalo / Coyotes / Bear / Cougar (mountain lion) / Sheep [did I dare list that last one?] - some with red eyes... :ymdevil:

Poison water hole signs :ymsick:

Dead skull markers

Building textures in log, adobe, sawmilled lumber

Stagecoaches

As someone already mentioned wagons in general: buckboard, Conestoga, buggy, chuckwagon

Trail camping tents, campfires & plates of beans & the ubiquitious coffeepot

Supplies:
- Crates of wiskey, nitroglycerin, guns & ammunition
- Bolts of cloth
- Barrels of nails
- Bags of grain and foodstuffs
- Coils of Barbed Wire

Water barrels

Bank safes & strongboxes

3D Haystack standees

Corral wooden fencing

Indian Village: teepees, hide tanning racks, etc.

Populace Standees addition [just as for "The Maiden"] - might need 2 volumes here, one for the "good guys" and one for the Indians, etc. - unless its a bigger set: "20" seems like a small number.

[I'll leave the *types* of buildings to be listed by someone else... can't have all the fun!]

You forgot the most important thing...

Giant Mechanical Spiders

Is that one set or two? lol.

I just posted my 106th font... I'm beginning to think that I need help. Unfortunately I didn't find the 'caps' font on www.dafont.com after a search. If you figure out which one it was, please let us know.

While at work I also thought of Snake-Oil Salesman caravan wagon & the Peddler's wagon with all those pots washbasins and lanterns hanging off the sides...

I'm going to try to stop thinking of all these images from all those westerns I grew up with because my brain is starting to hurt remembering it all...

So will some of the Standees be pictured with a Lightning Gun? I just bought it this week (*before* the Deadfall announcement) and will build it as soon as my replacement laserprinter inkcartridge arrives. Will send build pic with me posed in my western gear. Promise.

I am guessing today's forum background is from the new dead fall. I am l ready liking the "street" textures for dead fall. So much to build so little time (gotta talk the local group in to buying me a robocutter to speed my builds up)

Very nice. I see this one being popular with the Wryd crowd.

Also useful for small medieval towns, I would think!

What I find most interesting is the reaction to the mere mention of a title and vague notion of setting

I like the sort of subconscious sense you all have about what works, what doesn't and what should be.

I always figured you threw up a title, a vague teaser, and then let the comments on the first few pages decide what the set was actually going to be about and contain.

Likewise I've a friend with a radio show. Every week he picks 3 connected songs and gets people to phone/email/tweet the connection. I've tried to get him to pick 3 at random and see what people come up with.

From the poll, we now know that there is not one set in the work, but four !

Deadfall: Streets of Blood
Deadfall: Steambucket Rail
Deadfall: Deadmans Canyon

I can tell the streets are going to be TLX.

Is there any chance we can get the "Untitled Building, and possibly even the "Canyon" as a Swift Scenics Set?

While TLX gets major props from me for its ingenuity, the amount of labor that goes into making even a moderately sized set is just too much for me.
