Treasure Tables is on hiatus as of December 13th, 2007 -- after two years of daily posts, I needed a break. If you're looking for GMing material, I have two recommendations: the hundreds of posts in TT's archives, and my new project, the multi-author GMing blog Gnome Stew. Happy GMing! -- Martin

Photos of Abandoned Urban Sites

Wed. December 28, 2005 

Opacity offers oodles of haunting pictures of urban ruins — perfect fodder for modern games (especially horror).

Featuring Danvers State Hospital, the Staten Island boat graveyard and many others. (Via MetaFilter.)

    Talk about a good horror seed, I lifted this off the site. It’s in regards to the demolition of Danver’s State Hospital

    “AvalonBay plans to build 497 apartments and condominiums on the site and demolish most of the Kirkbride building, a Victorian Gothic-style, eight-winged fortress stretching for a quarter-mile that has lured artists and ghost hunters since it closed in 1992. ”

    497 fresh apartments on a haunted site? Golden!

    You’re right — that would make a great premise for a modern horror game. :)
