Project Update: Off to Gamehole!
Gamehole Con starts tomorrow and I've got 4 full games of Megaton Maiden... and these!
Not where I wanted to be at but it's close. I need to get a couple more done today and tomorrow morning. The design is basically just as I imagined it. A couple may be without tilt sensors as that has been the most problematic piece as they are far touchier than I had hoped. But for the most part, I've got them in there and in a position where should the box stay upright and not be moved TOO much during defusing it'll work just fine. I've left the battery connections outside. Everyone can decide if they want to open them to shove the battery in or just make a rule at the table that the power switch and the battery are instant detonations. That's my plan this weekend.
Also, because I want to showcase Megaton Maiden (which is why I'm running 4 packed sessions), I also put together the papercraft version. This time I used cardstock and that was WAY easier than me using standard thin printer paper. Here's how it turned out. After Gamehole I will put together a video on how to assemble it just so it's out there for everyone. It's not terrible but it does take a little patience (which I'm running thin on this week) and some dedication.
Here are some pics of the papercraft build in progress.

So, I'm on track to start pushing out these electronic Atomic Altars next week after I fulfill pick ups this weekend at Gamehole. As I get them done they'll go out to the 10 or so of you that I won't see this weekend. :)
