Door Events

The original WHQ gates rock, but they always have the open look despite what the adventure says. Unable to find an original copy of the game at the time, I decided to make the gates out of cardboard and card stock. I found an image of a gate that someone had painted, printed it to size and then glued it onto some cardboard, cut around the shape and then poked out the insides. I bordered with black marker and created a base. Next I went to making tiles of doors and possible events that can slide in and out with ease. The effect is awesome, and adds to the spontaneity of the game.
