My friend Duncan is printing off a couple of Dwarven doors for me on his 3D printer. And I thought I’d share with you the latest progress photo he sent me.

This is looking pretty awesome. And will look amazing on the tabletop.

Duncan has also been printing other things for me too.

Despite having not played a game of it yet, Duncan is printing some new threats to use with Last Days, triffids.

Wait, Last Days is all about zombies you say.

And yes it is. However in issue 2 of Blaster, Ash Barker, the games creator, published rules called Last Days Evolution. These rule additions allow you to retheme Last Days. So instead of zombies you could have for example triffids, or xenomorphs.

Luckily there is a 3D modeller who did a set of triffid models for printing. Which I discovered by accident looking for 3D models for something else. When I saw them I instantly thought of the new rules. I could instead of playing The Walking Dead/Dawn of the Dead, now I can be playing Day of the Triffids.

I have fond memories of the BBC adaptation of the book from the 80’s. Which would account for why it’s sitting in my Amazon Prime library. Wasn’t too keen on the new version they did a few years back.

So I’m pretty excited about getting some triffids (which may or may not turn up as a threat in our D&D campaign) and using them in a game.

As I was writing this post the 3D modeller gave an update that they have updated their cylon models (see below).

They look pretty cool. I do prefer the classic 80’s tv show cylon to the reboot version. Although I do love the reboot.

And yes, Last Days and the Evolution rules could be used so that these fine cylons could be the threat.

The scenario would be the cylons have located Earth and launched an invasion, killing any humans they come across. Which would allow me to reuse the the stuff I have put together already to use with Last Days.

But it doesn’t stop there.

Galeforce 9 sell an Aliens board game called Aliens: Another Glorious Day in the Corp. Luckily there is no need to buy the game and it’s expansions to get the miniatures. GF9 kindly sell those separately. So along with using them for the Alien RPG (probably why they decided to do this), yep using the Last Days Evolution rules all of a sudden it gets an Aliens reskinning!

This two could use my current scatter terrain because in the classic Dark Horse Alien comic the xenomorphs did get to Earth.

However I need to start getting some reusable sci-fi terrain together for various RPGs which could be used with cylons and also aliens. But that project is for another day.

I love that Last Days is flexible enough now to cater for most people’s needs. It can be a 1v1 skirmish game, co-op, or even solo. It can be a campaign or one-off. It can be any theme you want now. Plus the Timelines rules from issue 1 of Blaster allow you to play in either modern or the Wild West! Although the article reads like there should be other time period examples as well, or that it was written as another rule book for the game.

I can’t wait to get this to the table.
