Lucy, the Margate Elephant floor plans

I've always been a fan of maps, especially deck and floor plans, especially especially free plans and especially especially especially accurate plans. 

Fortunately, there is a resource not many people seem to know about; the Historic American Buildings Survey/Historic American Engineering Record/Historic American Landscapes Survey hosted by the Library of Congress.  These were research projects into building of historical worth.  They are largely in the public domain (check to be sure) and likely paid for by your tax dollars so I am glad to show them off.

The first floor plan I will feature is Lucy, the Margate Elephant.  Only one plan of Lucy is really needed.  Goodness knows what you would use her for in your games, maybe a mad elephant-themed Silver Age supervillain.  I have simply added a 5' grid to the picture.

In essence, I have altered this very little.  If there turns out to be real interest, I can buff this and following maps up a bit...

TORG Eternity Characters

 I am moving my efforts from my first attempt at Blogger, the Blogbatter Beast of Trall (thank you, Douglas Adams) to this new blog.  But I thank it for what it was able to teach me (namely, make a smaller and more catchy name for your blog 😜).

But I did make some nice Torg Eternity characters on the old blog.  So check them out and keep fighting those High Lords, you Storm Knights you! 

Welcome to my new RPG Blog and Howdy from Texas!

 

Tarot Card: The Fool (0)

And so it begins...

Howdy from Fort Worth, Texas! Here is a blog for my love of tabletop role-playing games (RPGs). Where it goes from there, who knows?

My name is Gerry and I have always wanted to blog about my hobbies and interests, RPGs being one of them.  But blogs are organic and emergent, who knows where this might drift.  And would it be wrong if it does.

The blog is named Hills To Dice On and is a pun on the phrase hill to die on.

Full Disclosure:  At some point, I would like to make a little money off of a blog.  Maybe it might be this one but it is a little too new and underdeveloped for that.  And I don't mind if this is my 'training wheels' blog.

Please don't think that this blog is a purely mercenary endeavor.  There is an opportunity cost to a free blog (the time could be spent actually making money in some way).  This would just make it possible for me to continue a blog.

Anyway, let's see what happens... 😎
