Huckle Farm Feels

We’ve 3D-printed some additional pieces for Huckle Riverstone’s farm and thought you might want to see the revised gameboard. Let’s take a gander.

Farms just give us those warm-fuzzy vibes thanks to those rolling hills and bumper crops. Let’s see how our second pass at Huckle Riverstone’s farm just outside Waterdeep looks now.

We already handled the big three: the Pumpkin House (main building), NPC Face Card, and our NPC Mini. DM Ben’s players are crappy notetakers (like many game groups) so he uses Face Cards to ensure they can quickly reflect on any NPC interactions as needed. A memorable miniature always helps the cause, too.

Then we added two more utility-ish buildings, including a stable and a woodshed. The pumpkin scatter terrain accents the setup nicely, as do the barren fields. We finished that off with a handy RPG flipmatte by Loke Battle Mats. So, now the scene is set for the players to meet ol’ Huckle and get their next sidequest.

Huckle is furious that various rodents and trespassers are sneaking onto his farm and either devouring his award-winning crops or trying to steal his secret topsoil. Hence, the barren fields above. Consequently, he’s asking the party to harvest some Pumpkin Mimics he’s spotted in The High Forest so he can grow his own security force.

Now that the mimic harvest gameboard is set, we’ve got a lush green field (acquired from an old Gen Con trip), some farm-field scatter pieces, and of course, our pesky Pumpkins that Ain’t Pumpkins miniatures.

So, the moral of this post is don’t be afraid to revisit some DM Prep that hasn’t played out quite yet. It’s amazing what one can come up with after briefly pausing and resetting their DnD head. 😉

Until next time!
