The Plan
I'm writing some horror/Cthulhu role playing adventures so I'm also painting suitable miniatures and making suitable scenery.
I'm setting my adventures in the 1980s, a great decade for horror in both films and books, and I'm going to be using quite a lot of my existing miniatures.
Most of my games will be set around the British Isles and so there will be some anachronisms with the miniatures and scenery I use. For example, all my police are American but my police cars are 1970 British ones. Nevermnd, this will just add to the horror!
The Investigators
I'm going to be using a lot of miniatures from different eras. Here's Tintin and friends to start us off. They're available from 1st Corps.
