Game board for this quest?

To make it look above ground, you could paint grass textures outside the walls I suppose. The blood, bones and stones could still be there in a inn that has been trashed and corrupted as much as the one in that quest has...

Yeah, that's what I'm thinking. Grass on the outside. Wood floor like the "Inn" tiles for the inn. Straw or dirt for the shed and stables. Maybe something a little prettier (rows of flowers along the lines of the squares) for the walled garden. I don't think it will reveal too much. There are still doors, furniture, and Dread monsters to place when the heroes explore the board.

If I was doing a completely new board for the quest, I'd move the rooms about as much as possible just to make it very different to the original board.

If it was a basic board and you revealed buildings/rooms as the Heroes entered (like the original) then it could be useful. Instead of hallways it would be outside area. I wouldn’t make it custom to fit just the one quest though. Can always have the gray areas still (locked buildings and garden walls blocking outside area off).

I agree. All of the outdoor maps in this forum’s gallery are TOO CUSTOMIZED. I’m looking for something a little of the middle of the road…. Outdoors, customized for this quest but still generic enough that it could be used for other outdoor quests as well.

I wouldn’t put the pond in the middle. I would leave that as a tile. That would make the board more versatile.

Green felt table cover + modular outdoor tiles... presto! I guess if you want it all to be enclosed in one building then maybe not.

Perhaps a big transparent overlay with layers added...

If you know someone with a Blood Bowl pitch, you get a mostly grassy field with squares marked on it already.

[Kurgan]

Does it use squares or little white crosses to indicate edges of squares? Maybe that was a homebrew I saw...

[cornixt]

The official pitches use black crosses, but so many homemade ones I'm sure a few use white crosses.

I think I've found my solution... pretty much what I was looking for. There's a "Rural Board" that will work well here: http://north-american.yeoldeinn.com/tiles-big-bene.php
