About this model
A small timber-framed house with dark beams, pale infill and a steep brown tiled roof. It covers about 15 ft by 11 ft, three squares by two, and stands about 15 ft tall. The steep roof and timber frame give it a northern European look.
Use it for village cottages, town houses, farmsteads and hamlets. It is the bread and butter of a settlement map, and a few in a cluster make a village. Its walls block sight and its roof can be climbed, so it is a natural place to hide, set an ambush or barricade a door.
Ideas for the table
- A village is overrun by the walking dead, and the party must defend a small house until dawn.
- A merchant's cottage is the cover for a thieves' guild safe house.
- The party must find out why the house at the end of the lane has been empty for a year.
