Bullseye!

Greetings and salutations, fellow gamers! We’ve finally returned from our Thanksgiving break, refreshed, relaxed, and ready to slip in a few more posts before Santa comes a callin’. Let’s go!

DM Ben went especially crazy on his travel adventures, hitting 7 beaches in 7 days in the Caribbean over the week of Thanksgiving. This shot is in Barbados and is on a vast sugar plantation once owned by Benedict Cumberbatch’s family in the 1700s. For the first time, the plantation is currently owned by a native family. It was stunning…pretty muggy, but still absolutely stunning. Ok, ok, DM Ben! Enough with the vacation slides. We need some daily DnD back in our lives.

We’ve really enjoyed building Briar Thorne’s Bramble Bush Boarding House! This homebrewed TTRPG content started as a new Hovertrain setting encounter, but it absolutely works in a more traditional DnD setting. We keep coming up with more 3D-printed stuff here (and other finds from our extensive RPG library), but that’s a good thing. You may only use certain pieces depending on the desired scenarios that you want to play out at the time. DMs love options.

Our prized 3D-print-pick comes courtesy of Cast n Play’s Terrain Essentials series. You’re going to get so much mileage out of this Bandit Camp set. We really love this particular grouping of TTRPG scatter terrain because you can use it in so many different outdoor setting scenarios. And that sorta replayability is the hallmark of a phenomenal set pick.

DM Ben naturally used a little turkey time to color a few more pieces, including this one. He had some solid paint schemes to fall back on here, so he welcomed the assignment. He used a previous haystack theme, a tarp scheme, and a wood scheme to cover all the key colors on this RPG 3D print.

We especially adore Cast n Play’s motion creativity. They really go out of their way to release optional movements in their Terrain Essential releases. You can slide the three targets along a wooden bar and even raise or lower them — frickin’ genius.

DM Ben plans to have some roudy Hostel guests, who may have had a few drinks of liquid courage, welcome any and all challengers to wager on some target shooting, in the hopes of securing more ale money. The mechanics here could be a gold piece per target shot. Or, you could go best out of three for five or ten GP. Roll

Also, we found this premade Outhouse in our terrain library and felt every Hostel certainly needs a place for its guests to take care of business. This plastic building comes from Wizkids and their swell Warlock Tiles Accessory sets. This outdoor loo is specifically from their Kitchen series.

What’s especially cool about our privacy-please structure is that the door moves, and you can place it over the top of a miniature if you want to surprise your players with a little, “Hey! Someone is in here! Do you mind?!”

Two great additions that can be used in a plethora of fun DnD encounters. What’s not to love?

Until next time! And thanks again for your patience so the gang could take a short break from the publishing grind. We truly appreciate your readership.
