Explore Dwarven Forge’s Plaguestone For Pathfinder RPGs
November 19, 2020 by brennon
Dwarven Forge has a new set of both Unpainted and Painted terrain for you to pick up for playing games of Pathfinder. The Plaguestone set is the first set of officially licenced terrain for use in Pathfinder 2nd Edition and the module, The Fall Of Plaguestone.
Plaguestone Terrain // Dwarven Forge
This range of terrain includes a lot of existing pieces from Dwarven Forge but with additional options including dangerous plants, thorny walls and more. You've also got the addition of pieces like Cages, Alchemy Labs, a Necromancers Workshop and more which can be added in alongside the dungeons, caverns and mountains that Dwarven Forge already make.

This then breaks down into a number of different encounter sets which can be set up as you see here or potentially split up and made modular to use alongside other kits.

As well as providing you with a lot of unique options, this set of terrain can either be picked up entirely pre-painted or unpainted if you want to give it a go yourself. Now, this is Dwarven Forge, so the terrain is pretty darn expensive but it really is a gorgeous set for those who want to take roleplaying to the next level.

The work by Dwarven Forge is certainly a luxury product but it really does look very nice indeed. I've seen a lot of it used in shows like Critical Role and it's fascinating seeing what you can do with it. Are you going to be taking a peek at this for something like Pathfinder or perhaps a different game?
Are you tempted to take a peek at this range?

Those are some great looking terrain.
Using fancy terrain like this, if it’s too specific, can be a huge trap when you’re DM-ing.
While it’s fine to have trees or scatter terrain, if you set-up a diorama or a set-piece like this, you are going to want to use it, and then consciously or otherwise, you are going to push your characters towards that encounter.
The same happens to me if I spend two weeks painting up some epic villain. If the party doesn’t want to fight, I have to remember not to force them… even if it means two weeks of painting down the drain.
Are Pathfinder adventures written on the railroady side? While players *will* go their own direction (: many pre-written adventures aren’t very open, given their restriction on page length, and therefore content. (Sourcebooks I expect to be more sandboxy, of course.) Anyway, that said, it’s great to see encounter sets finally appearing on the market. Much less work than trying to find the miniatures for an encounter (btw, it’s pretty hard when they don’t exist!). Personally, I think a miniature and map set for the D&D Essentials kit ($7.50 on Amazon, last time I checked) would be ideal, since it’s probably… Read more »
Very nice looking terrain for gamers.
