Looks like the next TLX set up is going to be another western set, looks to be gettin' close, too.

While I don't run a Fallout game in the west, I suspect that it will be a great set for doing so. (I did have the start of a western scenario for Fallout, based on the cattle drives of the 1840s.)

The Auld Grump

Wonder if this is going to be the new CaveWorks?

There are few things in life that compare to sitting quietly in a grove of fresh eucalyptus on the edge of a high canyon ridge with your best horse grazing by your side, looking over a mesa full of cicades wearing a 3 o'clock shadow, a soft breeze blowing with a Winchester cradled in one hand and a full bottle of hooch in the other, picking off mule-headed posse like they were fish in a rain barrel...

... not that I would ever do that of course, I'm just sayin'...

Sweet! Hopefully the canyon will include cave elements, an integration of cliffs + caveworks, if you will...with some desert river tiles to boot.

Deadman's Canyon is primarily a cliff based set. We opted for build speed over modularity on this one. Matt has done great work with the forms! Should be out in the not too distant future.

CaveWorks Ultimate is a future pet project

Both = happy times.

More a swiftscenic type set then?

Yes indeed.

Good, lets go for it.

Good deal. TLX is my favorite line, but SwiftScenics definitely help fill out my table.

In a cavern, in a canyon, excavating for a mine,
Dwells a miner, '49er, and his daughter Clementine....

The Auld Grump

...and if we build the canyons BIG enough and TALL enough we can sing "She'll be comin' round the mountain when she comes.."

I really enjoyed being a part of this one. I love the new canyons.

Tease!

It's a Deadman's Canyon
Who could ask for more?
Everyone is coming
Leave your body at the door.

Sounds like the Mars Station cliffs. This should be a very good set indeed.

I see you are a fan of classical music.

New and easier to build cliffs would be very welcome. I have tons of the MS rock spire style cliffs but there's always room for more.

Hummm...desert canyons. I'm liking this. Would this be a simple reskinning of Mars Station, a variation off it, or a completely new direction? I've been looking for some good desert cliffs, canyons, outcroppings, etc.

I don't think it violates anything for me to say that this is a different approach and not a simple re-skinning.

Recent comments have got me thinking:
Sandstone strata?
Wind carved arches?
Rock-atop-spire?
Possibility of Pueblo-style cliff dwellings?

Man, what a tease the background image is. I want real pics now! Or at the very least soon.

It certainly is. I see rocky strata, uneven sandy mesas with a rock lined grid, and rickety wooden bridges.
Looks good to me!

I'm trying to remember how long is the usual interval between the background pic and the actual promo pics ... maybe be a week or more. Nothing is a sure thing though.

Whatever the delay, if the background image is anything to go on it's going to be up to WWG's usual awesome standard.

I already see one major upgrade over the old cliffs system, gentle sloped trails up the cliff. They look shallow enough no to suffer the SOL/SOH ramp issue of models sliding down them when you put on in the middle.

That would be a great change from other canyon sets and one I've been hoping for. That this is going to be a SwiftScenics set is outstanding as well!

Hey gang! We swapped out the background to let you know its essentially ready to go apart from promotions. Have some major shuffling to do with the schedule however to get it out to you (re: TerraClips).

Its a really fun little set and Matt's cliff designs are a nice change from what's available out there currently.

Standing by to build canyons.

The curiosity subroutine of my brain just fired up: how adaptable would the Canyon bits be for a Mine build (minus the rails & carts - but these could could be reworked from one of the older sets? [the particular one I have in muind I have not snagged yet...]).

Preview thread now officially up and running!
