The Cave tiles are still in development, but I thought I would add the Labyrinth tiles to the Download section. Hopefully these will suit your needs. Hi Shaun, I like the tiles. They look great! Thanks for posting them.

Love the labrynth!!!!!
Like your ideas Jim, smurf characters and a smurf FoW army would be awesome. So would a gnome army and yes they would need to have pointy hats!!! I've already got a 15mm metal gnome army for HOTT (Hordes of the things). They are made by petr pig miniatures and include, fishing rod armed spearmen, snail riders and a wizard perched on top of a mushroom (and yes I've painted it red with white spots!!)
Another idea for gnomes would be to make them technologically advanced (albeit in a clockwork VSF kind of a way) like they are in 'fairy meat', but they would still need red pointy hats!!!
what about fairies, pixies, brownies etc......? Great for DP, FoW and also for fairy meat (sorry this system just so appeals to my sense of humour)
Then there's lizardmen, ratmen and trolls, all would look awesome in a DP style!

We have a lot of stuff in the "design" phase. Rats, gnomes, halfpintz(halflings) and Mawgs. Mawgs are a doglike creature loosely based on the kobolds from Kobolds Ate my Baby...so don't feel bad about a twisted siense fo humor I have one as well!

Jim what do you think about doing some of your sci-fi designs in a DP style, i.e TF marines, troops, skelebots and alien hybrids? DP in space just begs to be written/developed (I'm still working on splatball the western!), Oh and there would have to be spacefaring pigs! 'Pigs in Space!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!@ ;D THinking about it DP western figures would be good too. Other requests include dwarves, elves, (perhaps as elvis's?) and a gorilla people!!! (told you I was a bit warped) What about a dungeon paved with yellow stone tiles, character figures consisting of a small female witch slayer in blue gingham dress and red shoes carrying a small black dog, a bright shiny silver metallic axe bearer , a straw stuffed leader and a rather dodgy looking lion. Opponents would include winged monkeys', small green (yellow in the book) goblin like people and an evil female magic user carrying an umbrella (well she does in the book, and with good reason!!) Ok must go now to take my medication!!!

I started a DP space colony type set a while ago as a test. www.geocities.com/ragnar_shadowolf/images/salvage.jpgThe idea was of contracted salvage teams going into derelict stations and ships looking for alien tech to sell. I wanted a retro look rather than a hard science set as I love good old fashioned space opera more than the 40K "my gun is bigger than your gun" crowd. Which is probably why I love the Oversoul Games style as well-never take yourself too seriously Paul

Have you done any work on the game itself? Is it a co-operative game? Are there teams? Will there by "Alien" figures? Will it use a tiles like DP or be freeform like FOW? ... ... Yep, kinda excited by those figures.

I just realised how great those figures would look standing on the map from "The Awful Green Things From Outer Space". Thats an "area" map with one space per room, and a cartoony look.

Shadowolf, your site must be very popular. I can't get on it to look at the figures. Just keep getting a polite yahoo message saying that you've exceeded your download limit!!! Oh well, just need to keep trying I s'pose. ;D
FNH Thanks for reminding me about aweful green things, I love that game, got a copy lurking somewhere. I like the way that you don't know what effect a particular weapon has them until you use it. Now that would be a cool mechanism to add into DP in space!

Yea, I would like to do a cartoon version of OGRE/GODZILLA/ADVANCE WARS style game. I have been messing about with some designs, but it will have to wait...
I have my list for the weekend, so we will have to see what I done by Monday. JIM

Alright, the figures are all done. 29 different figures all with front and back art. I'll be posting them as my MMiP entry for the month. How do I upload them here? Here is a huge graphic of them all. JIM

They are beautylishous! Groovy, baby!

I want to put my hand on colouring at least some of them, they are wonderful.
