It would appear that I've created a monster.
What started as a larf for the Post a Picture thread spawned a half dozen requests to create a thread of its own. Let it never be said that I refuse to give the people what they want.
Behold! Goodjer Monopoly! Photoshop by yours truly.
The game still needs Chance and Community Chest cards, which are next on my ample To Do list.
Once I have my sculpting gear out of storage (which will happen as soon as I can manage to close on a house and get my wife and two kids out of this two bedroom apartment) I'll try to remember to sculpt the game pieces (to be based on the donation tags, naturally, though methinks I'll have to make multiple weiner bombs to head off the bloodsport that always ensues when two people want the "good" game piece.)
More to follow.
UPDATE: 9/28/09
The community chest and chance cards are now complete:
Community Chest:
Every player gets one of these at the beginning of the game:
This solves the PC platform price issue, I think.
And the chance cards

We got you covered (make your own here):
I would pay for this, when will boardgames become part of the GWJ swag?
Great job transferring all the already made cards Ratboy. Now for more:
Also, looking at the board I'm a little sad to see Activision represented (cuz you know 'eff them'), but at least they aren't super high value. And I can't argue that some of the franchises they are whoring out are pretty important and fun.
That is awesome. Reading "Try Again -- Certis" nearly killed me.
This is too much fun.
This is so awesome! Seriously, this should become buyable swag.
All of this and I don't see a single mention of Oogaba.
I am sooo tempted to just start printing this stuff out and making the game. We have some clay I can sculpt and bake into the game pieces. Then I would bring the finished masterpiece to my first S&T. Whenever that will be.
If Thomas doesn't mind, of course. I'm not going to steal his thunder.

From a sheer gameplay standpoint I'm slightly concerned at the relative price of PC platform compared with the rent derived from a railroad, even with a monopoly. It's so expensive I just can't see any sane person purchasing it. I guess play-testing is the only real way to sort out these concerns.
This is my new favorite thread.
You singlehandedly made the Activision properties worth leaving on the board.
Had that one happen before. Actually started basically the same thread on here and another forum and guess what, no replies at either.
This would be a great Monopoly edition, though!
Ah, the PC platform - $2000, hahaha.
By the way, too many cards end up with you losing a turn.
The game card site has disabled direct linking. I'll have to rehost my cards.
Someone may need to put together a collection of these cards as a zip file or PDF so that people can cut them out and play.
This is -- golly -- just awesome.
If I come to PAX next year I really want to see someone playing this in the open board game room.
Since you've replaced every other art asset, I'd suggest replacing the chance "?", as well. Maybe with a weiner bomb? That seems pretty chancy.
Turbo badassery!
